摘要
Turbidity is an almost universal feature of alkali feldspars in plutonic rocks and has been investigated by us in alkali feldspars from the Klokken syenite using SEM and TEM. It is caused by the presence of myriads of tubular micro-inclusions, either fluid-filled micropores or sites of previous fluid inclusions, and is associated with coarsening of microperthite and development of sub-grains. Micropores are abundant in coarsened areas, in which porosities may reach 4.5%, but are almost absent from uncoarsened, pristine braind-microperthite areas. The coarsening is patchy, and involves a scale increase of up to 103 without change in the composition of the phases, low albite and low microcline, or in the bulk composition of the crystal. It occurs abruptly along an irregular front within individual crystals, which retain their original shapes. The coherent braid microperthite gives way across the front to an irregular semi-coherent film perthite over a few μm and then to a highly coarsened irregular patch perthite containing numerous small sub-grains on scales of a few hundred nm, in both phases. The coarsening and micropore formation occured at a T≤400°-450° C and it is inferred to have been driven by the release of coherent strain energy, low-angle grain-boundary migration being favoured by a fluid. The patchy nature of the coarsening and the absence of a relationship with initial grain boundaries suggest that the fluid was of local origin, possibly arising in part through exsolution of water from the feldspar. The sub-grain texture and microporosity modify profoundly the permeability of the rock, and greatly enhance the subsequent reactivity of the feldspars. © 1990 Springer-Verlag.
