An old Swedish mining term. A silicate gangue associated with iron or sulfide deposits, or a contact rock composed of lime-rich silicate minerals. Calcium silicate minerals include garnet, pyroxene, and amphibole. Generally, it is a rock formed by metasomatism of limestone in a vein or in a contact metamorphic zone of igneous rocks. Goldschmidt extended it to all Ca-Fe-silicate rocks formed along the contact of limestone [Goldschmidt : 1911]. In ancient times, it was used especially for metasomatized deposits of limestone and dolomite, but later it came to be used for those formed by similar contact metamorphism in younger times [Goldschmidt : 1911, Eskola : 1914]. Skarns are formed by the addition or removal of various elements such as CaO, MgO, SiO 2 , FeO, and Fe 2 O 3 , and have various mineral assemblages. When it contains a particularly dominant mineral species it is called andradite skarn by adding the prefix, skarn from Swedish means filth, rubbish, refuse, etc.SkarnSource: Asakura Publishing Dictionary of Petrology Information |
古いスウェーデンの鉱山用語.鉄鉱床あるいは硫化鉱床に伴われる珪酸塩鉱物の脈石(gangue),または石灰に富む珪酸塩鉱物で構成された接触岩.石灰珪酸塩鉱物には石榴石,輝石,角閃石などがある.一般に鉱脈または火成岩の接触変成帯の中で,主に石灰岩が交代作用を受けて形成された岩石.ゴールドシュミットは,これを石灰岩の接触部に沿って形成されるすべてのCa-Fe-珪酸塩の岩石に拡張した[Goldschmidt : 1911].古い時代には特に石灰岩やドロマイトの交代鉱床で用いられたが,その後若い時代の同様な接触変成作用で形成されたものにも使用されるようになった[Goldschmidt : 1911, Eskola : 1914].CaO, MgO, SiO2, FeO, Fe2O3など各種の成分が添加あるいは除去されて,様々な鉱物組合せのスカルンができる.特に優勢な鉱物種が含まれる場合には接頭語を付けてアンドラダイト・スカルンというように呼ばれる.スウェーデン語のskarnは汚物,不潔物,屑,ごみなどの意味.スカルン出典 朝倉書店岩石学辞典について 情報 |
