Abstract

Rock structural and microstructural analyses on the deformed Cheongsan granite, which is characterized by abundant feldspar megacrystals, have been carried out to understand the microstructural change during the mylonitization by ductile shear deformation. In K-feldspars, the characteristic microstructures are recognized as microkinks, microfractures, myrmekites, flame perthites, and core-and-mantle structures without the development of subgrains in outer core-zone. Microkinks are observed in both the microfractured and unmicrofractured K-feldspars and the directions of their axes are generally extended across the adjacent K-feldspar fragments bounded by microfractures. Myrmekites and flame perthites are found on the strain-localized boundaries of the microfractured K-feldspars. In plagiclases, microfractures, deformation twins and kink bands are predominant. Grain size reduction of plagioclase megacrysts also occurs by microfracturing but the core-and-mantle structures like the case of K-feldspars are uncommon in the microfractured plagioclases. The deformation twins, which overlap the igneous zoning structures, are often found in less deformed rocks. The twin lamellae in more deformed rocks generally bisect the obtuse angles of conjugate kink-band boundaries, and are microfractured or microfaulted and randomly oriented. From such characteristic microstructures, thus, it can be suggested that the micostructures during the mylonitzation of Cheongsan granite was developed as follows: production of microkinks in the K-feldspar megacrysts and of deformation twins and kink bands in the plagioclase megacrysts, and then grain-size reduction of the feldspar megacrysts through microfracturing, and then production of core-and-mantle structures (grain-size reduction of the microfractured K-feldspars through grain boundary migration), myrmekites and flame perthites in the microfractured K-feldspars.

거정 장석반정을 다량 함유하는 청산화강암이 연성전단변형을 받아 압쇄암화되는 동안에 일어난 미구조 변화를 파악하기 위해 변형된 청산화강암의 암석구조와 미구조 연구를 수행하였다. K-장석에서 특징적인 미구조는 미세킹크, 미세단열, 밀메카이트, 플레임 퍼어사이트, 코아 외부에 아입자 발달이 없는 코아-맨틀구조 등으로 인지된다. 미세킹크는 미세 단열되거나 미단열된 K-장석들에서 모두 관찰되고, 미세킹크의 축 방향은 미세단열에 의해 경계져 있는 양쪽 K-장석으로 연장된다. 밀메카이트와 플레임 퍼어사이트는 미세 단열된 K-장석들의 입계에 고 변형량의 집중으로 발달한다. 사장석에는 미세단열, 변형쌍정, 킹크대 등이 우세하게 관찰된다. 거정 사장석 반정의 입도 세립화는 역시 미세단열작용에 의해 진행되었다. 그러나 미세 단열된 K-장석과 달리 미세 단열된 사장석에는 코아-맨틀구조가 관찰되지 않는다. 화성기원의 누대구조를 중첩하는 변형쌍정은 변형정도가 낮은 저 변형암에서 종종 관찰된다. 고 변형암에서 변형쌍정의 엽층들은 일반적으로 공액성 킹크대의 둔각 이등분선 방향으로 발달하고, 미세단열 내지 미세단층 되어 무질서한 배열을 보인다. 따라서 이와 같은 특징적인 미구조로부터 청산화강암의 압쇄암화작용 동안에 미구조는 다음과 같이 발달하였음을 제시한다: 거정 K-장석 반정에 미세킹크의 출현과 사장석에 킹크대와 변형쌍정의 출현, 미세단열작용에 의한 거정 장석반정들의 입도 세립화, 미세 단열된 K-장석에 밀메카이트와 플레임 퍼어사이트 그리고 입계이동 재결정작용에 의한 K-장석 조각들의 입도 세립화와 함께 코아-맨틀구조의 출현.
