Petrology of blueschist and meta-greywacke along the Turkmeni-Ordib fault (Turkmeni area, SE of Anarak)

IntroductionThe occurrence of blueschist metamorphic facies is believed to mark the existence of former subduction zones. This facies is represented in the main constituents of subductionaccretion complexes, where it occurs in separate tectonic sheets, imbricated slices, lenses, or exotic blocks within a serpentinite mélange (Volkova et al., 2011). The evidence of the presence and maturity of Paleo Tethys oceanic crust in the CEIM (define this) in PaleoTethys branches, subduction and collision has been studied by various authors (Bagheri, 2007 Zanchi et al., 2009 Bayat and Torabi, 2011 Torabi 2011). Late Paleozoic blueschists have recognized in the western part of the CEIM (e. g. Anarak, Chupanan and Turkmeni) in linear trends. Metamorphic rocks of the Turkmeni area (SE of Anarak) are composed of blueschist and metagreywacke and are situated along the TurkmeniOrdib fault associated with Paleozoic rock units and serpentinized peridotite bodies. Turkmeni blueschist and metagreywackes have not been studied by previous workers.The Turkmeni blueschists consist of albite, winchite, actinolite and epidote. Granoblastic, nematoblastic and lepidoblastic are main textures in these rocks. Winchite is found in the matrix and around epidote grains. This sodiccalcic hibole serves as an index mineral in blueschist facies. Actinolite and epidote formed during retrograde metamorphism of blueschists in the greenschist facies. The mineral assemblage of albite, epidote, chlorite and phengite ± garnet is present in metagreywackes in the Turkmeni blueschists. Veins of garnet, muscovite, quartz and opaque minerals are extensive in these rocks. Epidote and chlorite formed in metagreywackes by retrograde metamorphism in the greenschist facies. The aim of the present study is to determine the petrological and geochemical characteristics, PT condition of blueschists and metagreywackes, as well as the geotectonic setting of primary basaltic rocks of the Turkmeni blueschists. Material and methodsThis study is based on field observations and petrographical and analytical studies. Satellite images and a geological map were prepared. About 20 thin sections were supplied for petrological studies. Mineral chemical analyses were carried out by a JEOL JXA8800R electron probe microanalyzer (EPMA) at the Cooperative Center of Kanazawa University, Japan. The analyses were performed under an accelerating voltage of 15 kV and a beam current of 15 nA with 3µm probe beam diameter. The Fe3+ contents of minerals were estimated by assuming ideal mineral stoichiometry. The representative mineral compositions are given in Tables 13. Major oxides, rare earth elements (REE) and trace elements of five blueschists sles were analyzed by the ICPMS method (Kanpanzhouh Research Company, Tehran, Iran) of the SGS laboratory of Canada. Whole rock chemical data are presented in Table 4.Results and discussionPetrographical and geochemical characteristics of Turkmeni blueschists reveal that they were derived from a similar mantle source and underwent analogous melt extraction and post magmatism occurrences. According to the trace and rare earth elements contents, the protolith of blueschists should be formed by crystallization of tholeiitic basalt and have subalkali basalt nature. Blueschists have LREE values more than HREE. High amounts and evident variations of LIL elements are obvious. Negative anomalies of HFSE such as Nb, Hf, Zr and Ti are evident in Turkmeni blueschist. REE trends of these rocks resemble as the back arc basin basalts. Based on the Nb/La ratio and REE contents, the original magma has been generated by low to medium degree of partial melting of a lithospheric mantle spinel lherzolite. Geochemical characteristics and normalized diagrams reveal that primary magma of protolith has been nature near to IAB and EMORB. The related processes to subduction of PaleoTethys oceanic crust led to mantle enrichment and carbonate metasomatism. The PaleoTethys Ocean spreading in CEIM commenced in Late Ordovician and terminated in the Late PaleozoicTriassic. Association of metagreywackes with blueschist and LILE/HFSE contents shows that PaleoTethys oceanic crust subduction zone at Turkmeni region was been immature. Mineral chemistry and assemblages of the blueschists and metagreywackes units reveal that they suffered different metamorphic evolution: (M1) greenschist metamorphism by existence of actinolite and albite in basaltic rocks, and then they passed a prograde metamorphism in the blueschist facies by existence of winchites (M2) which is followed by a retrograde metamorphism PT condition in the greenschist facies (M3). Variscan tectonometamorphism occurrence has been main metamorphic phase in Anarak region and it has led to metamorphism in blueschist facies of Turkmeni rocks.
