Abstract:Rutile is a common Ti_bearing accessory mineral in eclogites. In the 100~2000 m borehole samples of the Chinese Continental Scientific Drilling Project, rutile appears in different amounts in rutile eclogite, phengite eclogite and kyanite eclogite. It, together with other minerals, can be wrappedin major metamorphic minerals such as garnets and omphacites, or can wrap otherminerals. Inclusions in rutiles from CCSD UHP eclogites were studied by electron microprobe. The result shows that the inclusions such as omphacites, Hf-rich zircons, high-Al sphenes, pargasites, katophorites and clinozoisites were formed during the progradation of eclogite-facies to peak metamorphism. With the exhumation of the Sulu UHP metamorphic belt, the eclogites underwent extensive retrograde metamorphism, and lots of minerals such as rutiles and omphacites experienced retrograde metamorphism too. Ilmenites coexisting with rutiles were subjected to different extents of retrometamorphism, yielding Fe-rutile and ulvospinel. Therefore, some retrograde mineral assemblages such as symplectites of diopside + plagioclase, low-Al sphene, magnesiotaramite were found in retrograded rutile.
