Petrological Model for the Structure of Continental Crust in the Eastern Hebei Province

摘要

The precambrian metamorphic complex in the eastern Hebei Province may be considered as an exposed part of the transect of the continental crust.Based on the estimated depth of the metamorphic complex deduced from metamorphic facies and subfacies,geothermomctry and geobarometry in combination with geophysical data,previous and our measurements of wave velocities of rocks under high pressure,a petrological model for the crustal structure in eastern Hebei Province is suggested(Fig.3).The lower crust consists of granulite facies,with the intermediate amphiboie granulite subfacies and the mafic pyroxene granulite subfacies respectively in the upper and lower parts,and with the leuslike serpentinized peridotite and charnockite interbedded in the bottom.The middle crust consists mainly of the intermediate-acidic high temperature amphibolite facies gneiss and schist,with the low temperature amphibolite facies gneiss and schist on the top.The tonalite and granodiorite intrusions with high-temperature
