  • 미국 메사추세츠 북중부에 산출되는 데본기 리틀톤층(Littleton Formation)의 남정석-십자석-석류석대에서 채취한 석류석 반상변정의 화학적 누대구조는 여러 번의 성장 단계를 경험했음을 보여준다. 석류석 반상변정들은 비대칭적이고 불규칙적인 Mn, Mg, Ca의 누대구조를 보인다. 조직대 경계부에서 석류석 성분들은 단면선에 따라 그 형태가 다르게 나타나고, $X_{Mn}$ 과 Fe/(Fe+Mg)비의 역전 누대구조는 석류석내의 내부엽리의 발달과 밀접한 관계를 보여준다. 이런 관찰 사항들은 석류석 누대구조가 석류석을 형성/소모시키는 반응뿐만 아니라, 용해작용과 침전작용과 관련된 기존의 미세구조에 의해 변화되었음을 의미한다. 화학적 그리고 조직적 잘림구조의 관계 그리고 저자가 제안한 석류석 성장모델은 석류석 누대구조가 엽리의 발달 동안 전단 응력대에서 일어나는 선택적 용해작용과 압축 운동대에서 발생하는 침전작용에 의해 조절되었음을 지시한다.

  • The Mt. Dungjuribong Volcanic Complex located in Gurye-gun, southwest of Ryeongnam massif, composed of Cretaceous andesitic rocks and rhyolite. $SiO_2$ contents of the volcanic rocks range from 52.0 to 78.5 wt.%. The major and trace elements composition, REE patterns and tectonomagmatic discrimination diagrams of volcanic rocks suggest that they are typical of continental margin arc calc-alkaline rocks produced in the subduction environment. The phenocrysts of the volcanic rocks show that they had gone in disequilibrium state, such as reversal zoning and resorbed core of plagioclase, reaction rim around pyroxene and resorbed margins of quartz, which showing the evidence of magma mixing during the evolution of magma.

  • Basalt having lots of feldspar phenocryst occurred at the northern and southern slope of the Mt. Halla, Jejudo. Among them, the Sioreum trachybasalt in southern slope consists of abundant phenocrysts of plagioclase in aphanitic groundmass. And the number of plagioclase grains are about 20 per $10cm^2$, and based on 667 grains the sizes are 13~0.7 mm (average 4.23 mm) in length and 8.6~0.5 mm (average 2.3 mm) in width. In according to modal analyses, Sioreum basaltic rock consists mainly of plagioclase (16~28%), olivine, clinopyroxene (1.5~6%) and opaque minerals (~0.1%) of magnetite and ilmenite as phenocryst and microphenocryst and groundmass (60~82%). The compositions of plagioclase, olivine and clinopyroxene are bytownite~andesine, chrysolite~hyalosiderite, augite respectively. Plagioclase phenocrysts show different type of zoning, namely, normal, reversal, patchy, oscillatory type. The An contents of zoned plagioclase mainly increase from core to rim. Those of oscillatory type from core to rim show variations of increase following decrease or decrease following increase, being more enriched in rim or almost same to core. Under the microscope, some plagioclase phenocrysts are especially melted in core part or marginal part, or found as only the remnant remain which resulted from reaction with melt. Some clinopyroxene are also corroded in margin part or found as irregular shape resulted from melting. The characteristics of petrography and compositional variation from core to rim of plagioclase and clinopyroxene, indicate that they are disequilibrium with melt and has been undergone geological environmental changes in magma batch during crystallization including magma mixing with replenishment of more mafic and high temperature melt.
