Abstract

Amphibole from thermally metamorphosed basalt in the Shionomisaki igneous complex, southwest Japan is successively zoned from edenite to Ti-rich hornblende through actinolite. The amphibole compositions show large compositional range of AlIV, which is strongly positively correlated with ΣA and Ti contents. Fe3+ content of the Ti-rich hornblende is estimated to be very low, based on routine amphibole structural constraints. Ti rich amphibole (kaersutite) from the upper-mantle is generally deficient in H+ of the O3 site, and is regarded as Ti replacing Al balanced by O2- for OH-. Infrared absorbance analyses indicate, however, that substitution of OH- by O2- in the O3 site is negligible in the Ti rich hornblende from thermally metamorphosed basaltic rock. Strong correlation between Ti and AlIV suggests that the conventional Ti-tschermakite substitution, R2++2Si Ti+2AlIV (R2+=Fe2++Mn+Mg), caused the Ti-incorporation, without the oxy substitution (OH- O2-) in the O3 site. The relationship between ΣA and AlIV implies that the edenite substitution is also dominant along the amphibole zoning.
