Abstract

An ultramafic complex occurs as an isolated lenticular body in the Andong area. The Andong ultramafic complex comprises ultramafic and mafic rocks, but mainly peridotites. The complex extends for several kilometer to ENE direction, adjacent to the Andong fault line. This study is for petrochemistry of the peridotites within the ultramafic complex and characteristics of asbestos occurrences. The peridotites are igneous origin, ranging from lherzolite to wehrlites and are characterized by high Fo olivine ($Fo_{0.85-0.87}$), Mg clinopyroxene ($Mg_{87.5-93.5}$), and tremolitic to tschermakitic hornblende. Geochemically, these rocks show high magnesium number (mainly Mg = 85.3-87.38) and transitional element and low alkali element contents. The peridotites host asbestos, including chrysotile, tremolite and actinolite asbestos, but dominated by amphibole asbestos. The amphibole asbestos are found along small fault face, and cleavage and fracture showing several cm to ten cm in width as slip and oblique fibers, while the chryostiles occur at cleavage and vein showing several mm-cm in width as cross and slip fibers. They are confirmed by PLM, XRD and SEM results. Overall characteristics of peridotites from the Andong ultramafic complex and occurrences of the asbestos are similar to those of worldwide orogenic related Alpine type ultramafic rocks and serpentinized ultramafic bodies in Chungnam, Korea, respectively.

안동 지역에 하나의 초염기성암 복합체가 격리된 안구상 형태로 산출된다. 이 초염기성암 복합체는 초염기성암에서 염기성암이며, 대부분은 페리도타이트이다. 이 복합체는 수 km로 동북동 방향으로 안동 단층을 따라 신장되어 있다. 이 연구는 안동 초염기성암 복합체 중 페리도타이트에 대한 암석지화학과 이곳에서 산출되는 석면의 특징에 대해서이다. 이 페리도타이트는 화성기원으로, 레조라이트에서 웨를라이트이고 높은 포스테라이트 조성의 감람석과 마그네슘 비의 단사휘석, 트레몰라이트에서 체마카이트질 조성의 각섬석을 포함한다. 지화학적으로 이들 암석은 높은 마그네슘비, 전이원소 함량과 낮은 알칼리 원소 함량을 보인다. 이 페리도타이트는 백석면, 트레몰라이트 및 악티노라이트 석면을 포함하나, 후자가 우세하다. 이들 각섬석계 석면은 소 단층면, 수 cm에서 십 cm 폭의 벽개, 단구에서 미끄럼 및 경사 섬유로써 산출이 되고, 백석면들은 수 mm~cm 폭의 맥 및 벽개에서 교차 및 미끄럼 섬유로서 산출이 된다. 이들 결과들은 PLM, XRD, SEM 결과로서 확인이 된다. 전체적인 안동 초염기성암 복합체 중 초염기성암의 특징과 석면의 산출 양상은 각각 전 세계의 알파인형 초염기성암과 충남 지역의 사문암화된 초염기성암의 특성과 유사하다.
