- W4322002832 abstract "Fluid-rock interaction is one of the most important factors regarding the evolution of the Earth’s crust, as it is strongly affecting its petrophysical properties and enabling chemical transport. Therefore, its impact on the Earth’s crustal chemical reservoirs and geodynamic processes can be significant. Fluid-mediated mineral reactions are dependent on the availability of fluids and their capability to percolate through the rock and interact with the minerals, often through pre-existing fluid pathways.The Kråkenes Gabbro is a mafic enclave, embedded in the felsic gneisses of the Western Gneiss Region in Norway. Although the whole region reached (ultra-)high pressure metamorphic conditions, the gabbro remained in a metastable state and preserved its igneous textures and magmatic minerals. The dry and low permeability gabbro is cut by a N-S-trending fracture network of mode-I cracks, which opened during exhumation. These fractures served as fluid pathways for an aqueous fluid to infiltrate the rock and trigger mineral reactions. Along these fractures the dry gabbro is “hydrated” under amphibolite-facies conditions. The resulting amphibolite reaction front is sharp on outcrop scale and propagates on dm-scale into the gabbro. A complete profile of rock spanning 32 cm in length was taken perpendicular to the vein, including sample material from the vein, the alteration zone, and the mostly pristine gabbroic wall rock.The gabbro-amphibolite-transition is displayed by the development of a hydrous mineral assemblage, accompanied with a densification and therefore porosity formation. The main cause of this is a drop in the abundance of plagioclase during the amphibolitization. Thermodynamic analysis using Thermolab were done to predict the amphibolite mineral assemblage from the original bulk rock composition of the gabbro. The calculations reveal that mainly H2O is added to the system and minor further element transport is needed. Furthermore, we observe that even the most reacted amphibolite still contains unaffected gabbroic mineral relicts and the main chemical reactions during amphibolitization are limited to a few minerals. The incoming fluid is consumed as soon as the hydrous phases of the amphibolite are formed. As amphibolitization favors porosity formation, a free fluid phase remains in the pore space as soon as the gabbro at the reactive surface of the affected minerals is completely transformed. The fluid progresses through the newly formed pore space and advances as a sharp the amphibolitization front.In order to test our hypothesis, we formulate a reactive flow model based on local equilibrium thermodynamics, mass balance and Darcy flow, that simulates the hydration of the dry gabbro to amphibolite including the porosity and fluid pressure evolution. Results confirm the formation of a sharp reaction front and the decrease in porosity during the hydration as a potential physical explanation for the observations without the further need for kinetically delayed reactions. We conclude that the metastability of gabbro is mostly controlled by the availability of fluid to the rock." @default.
