Exsolution Microstructures in Nh4-Bearing Muscovite and Annite in Gneisses From the Torrox Area, Betic Cordillera, Spain

Abstract: Variably sized lamellae of annite within muscovite crystals and lamellae of muscovite within annite crystals from gneissic rocks of the Torrox area in the Betic Cordillera, Spain, are interpreted as formed by exsolution of NH 4 -bearing micas present in the earliest metamorphic assemblage. The NH 4 -rich white mica, identified only in the overlying schists, was formed during the first diagenetic-to-metamorphic episode, with N derived from the maturation of organic matter. Initially contained in white mica, the… Show more

“…Roundish or lobate quartz grains also occur in K-feldspar and plagioclase grain interiors. White mica appears in three main textural domains: a) In rounded, apatite-bearing millimetre-sized microdomains, in which it forms thin intergrowths with biotite, similar to those described in the Torrox gneisses (García-Casco et al 1993;Ruiz Cruz & Sanz de Galdeano 2009); as late large flakes; and c) as minute flakes ( sericite), a product of the alteration of plagioclase grains.…”
