    <jats:title>Abstract</jats:title>
    <jats:p>Shock recovery experiments were performed using a two-stage light gas gun to clarify the progressive deformation microstructures of calcite at the submicron scale concerning pressure. Decaying compression pulses were produced using a projectile that was smaller than the natural marble target. In two experiments, natural marble samples were shocked to 13 and 18 GPa at the epicenters of the targets. Calcite grains shocked in the pressure range of 1.1–18 GPa were examined using polarized light microscopy and (scanning) transmission electron microscopy. The density of free dislocations in the grains shocked at 1.1–2.2 GPa [108–9 (cm-2)] is comparable to that of unshocked Carrara calcite grains. Subparallel bands of entangled dislocations less than 1 µm are formed at 4.2 GPa, and strongly entangled dislocations spread throughout the focused ion beam (FIB) sections at 7.3–18 GPa pressures. Dislocations selectively nucleate and entangle near the slip planes at pressures above ~3 GPa, corresponding to the transition from sharp extinction to undulatory extinction, according to the microstructural evolution with shock pressure. Above approximately 6 GPa, the dislocations nucleated homogeneously throughout the calcite crystals. The dislocation microstructure in a calcite grain collected from the asteroid Ryugu particle is similar to that of the experimentally shocked calcite at 4.2 GPa. The estimated pressure of 2–3 GPa, determined through fault mechanics analyses and the presence of dense sulfide minerals in the Ryugu particles, is in line with this pressure.</jats:p>

    <jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>Garnet peridotite xenoliths have been rarely reported from suboceanic mantle. Petrographic and geochemical characteristics of garnet-bearing oceanic peridotite xenoliths provide precious information on dynamics of the suboceanic lithosphere and asthenosphere interaction. We examined a lherzolite xenolith included in olivine nephelinite lava from Aitutaki Island, a member of the Cook-Austral volcanic chain. The lherzolite xenolith contains reddish fine-grained (&lt; 5 µm in size) mineral aggregates (FMAs) with size range of 0.5–6 mm, consisting of olivine, calcic and sodic plagioclases, aluminous spinel, native iron, and nepheline. Microstructural observations and chemical data corroborate that the FMA is a decomposed pyrope-rich garnet including chromian spinel grains with an irregular highly indented morphology in the center. The FMA is surrounded by pyroxene-poor and olivine-rich aureole. The spatial and morphological relationships of FMA and chromian spinel with pyroxene-depleted margin suggest a reaction of aluminous spinel + pyroxenes → pyrope-rich garnet + olivine, which requires a compression before decomposition of the garnet to FMA. An orthopyroxene grain shows slight but clear chemical zoning characterized by increase in Al, Ca, and Cr from the grain center to the rim. The zoning patterns of Al and Ca in the orthopyroxene grain can be modeled by diffusion-controlled solid-state reactions induced by pressure and temperature changes, keeping surface concentrations in equilibrium with the other coexisting mineral phases. The results indicate that the mantle, from which the lherzolite xenolith was derived, underwent isothermal decompression followed by a weak heating on a time scale of a few tenths of million years before the xenolith extraction. From the deduced compression and decompression histories, we hypothesize that the mantle beneath Aitutaki Island was once dragged down to a garnet-stable deep mantle region and brought up later by small-scale sublithospheric convection.</jats:p>

    <jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>Lithologic heterogeneity and the presence of fluids have been linked to seamount subduction and collocated with slow earthquakes. However, the deformation mechanisms and fluid conditions associated with seamount subduction remain poorly understood. The exhumed Chichibu accretionary complex on Amami-Oshima Island preserves mélange shear zones composed of mudstone-dominated mélange and basalt–limestone mélange deformed under sub-greenschist facies metamorphism. The mudstone-dominated mélange contains sandstone, siliceous mudstone, and basalt lenses in an illitic matrix. The basalt–limestone mélange contains micritic limestone and basalt lenses in a chloritic matrix derived from the mixing of limestone and basalt at the foot of a seamount. The basalt–limestone mélange overlies the mudstone-dominated mélange, possibly representing a submarine landslide from the seamount onto trench-fill terrigenous sediments. The asymmetric <jats:italic>S</jats:italic>–<jats:italic>C</jats:italic> fabrics in both mélanges show top-to-SE shear consistent with megathrust-related shear. Quartz-filled shear and extension veins in the mudstone-dominated mélange indicate brittle failure at near-lithostatic fluid pressure and low differential stress. Microstructural observations show that deformation in the mudstone-dominated mélange was accommodated by dislocation creep of quartz and combined quartz pressure solution with frictional sliding of illite, whereas the basalt-limestone mélange was accommodated by frictional sliding of chlorite and dislocation creep of coarse-grained calcite, with possible pressure solution creep and diffusion creep of fine-grained calcite. The mélange shear zones formed in association with seamount subduction record temporal changes in deformation mechanisms, fluid pressure, and stress state during megathrust shear with brittle failure under elevated fluid pressure, potentially linking tremor generation near subducting seamounts.</jats:p>

     View Summary

    <jats:p>Mantle wedge domains beneath the forearc Moho are unique regions of Earth’s interior where mantle encounters subducting oceanic plates. Crystal-plastic deformation and fluid-induced reactions in the supra-subduction mantle control global material circulation, arc volcanism, and seismicity within subduction zones. The Sanbagawa metamorphic belt contains numerous ultramafic blocks in its higher-grade zones, some of which likely originated as lower crustal arc cumulates that were subsequently incorporated into the mantle wedge and transported to the slab–mantle interface by mantle flow. Properties of these ultramafic rocks provide a valuable opportunity to understand the dynamic processes of the mantle wedge up to 80 km depth, including mantle flow, hydration/dehydration, and fluid–rock interactions near the slab–mantle interface of a warm subduction zone.</jats:p>

    <jats:p>Abstract. Maximum shear stress along an active deformation zone marking the subduction plate interface is important for understanding earthquake phenomena and is an important input parameter in subduction zone thermomechanical modeling. However, such maximum shear stress is difficult to measure directly at depths more than a few kilometers and is generally estimated by simulation using a range of input parameters with large associated uncertainties. In addition, estimated values generally represent maximum shear stress conditions over short observation timescales, which may not be directly applicable to long-timescale subduction zone modeling. Rocks originally located deep in subduction zones can record information about deformation processes, including maximum shear stress conditions, occurring in regions that cannot be directly accessed. The estimated maximum shear stress is likely to be representative of maximum shear stress experienced over geological timescales and be suitable to use in subduction zone modeling over timescales of millions to tens of millions of years. In this study, we estimated maximum shear stress along a subduction plate interface by using samples from the Sanbagawa metamorphic belt of southwestern (SW) Japan, in which slivers of mantle-wedge-derived serpentinite are widely distributed and in direct contact with metasedimentary rocks derived from the subducted oceanic plate. These areas can be related to the zone of active deformation along the subduction plate interface. To obtain estimates of maximum shear stress at the subduction interface, we focused on the microstructure of quartz-rich metamorphic rocks – quartz is the main component of the rocks we collected and its deformation stress is assumed to be roughly representative of the stress experienced by the surrounding rock and plate interface deformation zone. Maximum shear stress was calculated by applying deformation temperatures estimated by the crystallographic orientation of quartz (the quartz c-axis fabric opening-angle thermometer) and the apparent grain size of dynamically recrystallized quartz in a thin section to an appropriate piezometer. Combined with information on sample deformation depth, estimated from the P–T (pressure–temperature) path and deformation temperatures, it is suggested that there was nearly constant maximum shear stress of 15–41 MPa in the depth range of about 15–30 km, assuming plane stress conditions even when uncertainties related to the measurement direction of thin section and piezometer differences are included. The Sanbagawa belt formed in a warm subduction zone. Deep slow earthquakes are commonly observed in modern-day warm subduction zones such as SW Japan, which has a similar thermal structure to the Sanbagawa belt. In addition, deep slow earthquakes are commonly observed to be concentrated in a domain under the shallow part of the mantle wedge. Samples showed the depth conditions near the mantle wedge, suggesting that these samples were formed in a region with features similar to the deep slow earthquake domain. Estimated maximum shear stress may not only be useful for long-timescale subduction zone modeling but also represent the initial conditions from which slow earthquakes in the same domain nucleated.

    <jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>Raman CM geothermometry applied to 126 samples of pelitic schists collected over an area of 11 km × 7 km reveals the thermal structure of the Asemigawa region of the Sanbagawa metamorphic belt, southwest Japan in unprecedented detail. In general, the estimated temperatures gradually increase from south to north in the range of 288–553°C. However, a temperature gap from ~380 to ~440°C is identified near the boundary between the chlorite and garnet zones. This temperature region matches the depth of the continental Moho of the Sanbagawa subduction zone. The temperature gradient in the higher‐temperature domain is higher than that in the lower‐temperature domain, and large‐scale tight folds that affect the thermal structure are developed in the high‐grade units and in the vicinity of the temperature discontinuity. These geological structures probably reflect that the exhumed slab units was dammed at the Moho depth due to the upward movement being impeded by increase in the coupling strength of the overlying rocks associated with exhumation from beneath serpentinite rocks to a shallower domain overlain by crustal rocks. Changes in the coupling strength along the subduction boundary led the strong folding at the higher‐temperature domain and the pre‐formed foliation developed at the Moho depth may have acted as the tectonic boundary, resulting in a temperature discontinuity. These results will contribute to elucidating various geological phenomena occurring in the forearc regions of modern subduction zones.</jats:p>

     View Summary

    <jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>Talc is widely distributed over the Earth's surface and is predicted to be formed in various tectonic settings. Talc is a very soft and anisotropic sheet silicate showing very low friction behavior. Therefore, the formation of talc is expected to weaken the strength of talc-bearing rocks and may be associated with the initiation of subduction, and with a decrease in the coupling coefficient resulting in aseismic movements along faults and shear zones within subduction zones. For these reasons, understanding the crystallographic preferred orientation (CPO) of talc is important to quantify the anisotropy and physical properties of the host rock. However, it is difficult to measure a significant number of talc crystal orientations and to evaluate the accuracy of the measurements using electron-backscattered diffraction (EBSD). Therefore, talc CPO has not been reported, and there is uncertainty regarding the estimation of the strength of deformed talc-bearing rocks. Using methods developed for antigorite, we report the first successful EBSD measurements of talc CPO from a talc schist formed due to Simetasomatism of ultramafic rocks by subduction zone fluids. We used a combination of W-SEM and FE-SEM measurements to examine domains of various grain sizes of talc. In addition, we used TEM measurements to evaluate the accuracy of the EBSD measurements and discuss the results of talc CPO analysis. Talc CPO in the present study shows a strong concentration of the pole to the (001) plane normal to the foliation. The strongest concentration of the [100] direction is parallel to the lineation. The talc schist produces similar S-wave splitting and P- and S-wave anisotropy as antigorite schist in deeper domains, thus identifying talc-rich layers in subduction zones may require a combination of geophysical surveys, seismic observations, and anisotropy modeling. The presence of strong talc CPO in rocks comprising the slab–mantle interface boundary may promote spatial expansion of the slip area during earthquakes along the base of the mantle wedge.</jats:p>

     View Summary

    <jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>Garnet grains in Sanbagawa quartz eclogites from the Besshi region, central Shikoku commonly show a zoning pattern consisting of core and mantle/rim that formed during two prograde stages of eclogite and subsequent epidote–amphibolite facies metamorphism, respectively. Garnet grains in the quartz eclogites are grouped into four types (I, II, III, and IV) according to the compositional trends of their cores. Type I garnet is most common and sometimes coexists with other types of garnet in a thin section. Type I core formed with epidote and kyanite during the prograde eclogite facies stage. The inner cores of types II and III crystallized within different whole‐rock compositions of epidote‐free and kyanite‐bearing eclogite and epidote‐ and kyanite‐free eclogite at the earlier prograde stage, respectively. The inner core of type IV probably formed during the pre‐eclogite facies stage. The inner cores of types II, III, and IV, which formed under different P–T conditions of prograde metamorphism and/or whole‐rock compositions, were juxtaposed with the core of type I, probably due to tectonic mixing of rocks at various points during the prograde eclogite facies stage. After these processes, they have shared the following same growth history: (i) successive crystal growth during the later stage of prograde eclogite facies metamorphism that formed the margin of the type I core and the outer cores of types II, III, and IV; (ii) partial resorption of the core during exhumation and hydration stage; and (iii) subsequent formation of mantle zones during prograde metamorphism of the epidote–amphibolite facies. The prograde metamorphic reactions may not have progressed under an isochemical condition in some Sanbagawa metamorphic rocks, at least at the hand specimen scale. This interpretation suggests that, in some cases, material interaction promoted by mechanical mixing and fluid‐assisted diffusive mass transfer probably influences mineral reactions and paragenesis of high‐pressure metamorphic rocks.</jats:p>

Seismic velocities are commonly used to identify antigorite-rich domains, but antigorite is highly-anisotropic and depending on the seismic ray path, its properties can be very difficult to distinguish from non-hydrated olivine-rich mantle. Here, we utilize this anisotropy and show how an analysis of seismic anisotropy that incorporates measured ray path geometries in the Ryukyu arc can constrain the distribution, orientation and amount of antigorite. We find more than 54% of the wedge must consist of antigorite and the alignment must change from vertically aligned to parallel to the slab. This orientation change suggests convective flow in the hydrated forearc mantle. Shear wave splitting analysis in other subduction zones indicates large-scale serpentinization and forearc mantle convection are likely to be more widespread than generally recognized. The view that the forearc mantle of cold subduction zones is dry needs to be reassessed.</jats:p>

    <jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>The Sanbagawa metamorphic belt of southwest Japan is one of the type localities of subduction‐related high‐<jats:italic>P</jats:italic> metamorphism. However, variable pressure–temperature (<jats:italic>P</jats:italic>–<jats:italic>T</jats:italic>) paths and metabasic assemblages have been reported for eclogite units in the region, leading to uncertainty about the subduction zone paleo‐thermal structure and associated tectonometamorphic conditions. To analyse this variation, phase equilibria modelling was applied to the three main high‐<jats:italic>P</jats:italic> metabasic rock types documented in the region – glaucophane eclogite, barroisite eclogite and garnet blueschist – with modelling performed over a range of <jats:italic>P</jats:italic>,<jats:italic> T</jats:italic>, bulk rock H<jats:sub>2</jats:sub>O and bulk rock ferric iron conditions using <jats:sc>thermocalc</jats:sc>. All samples are calculated to share a common steep prograde <jats:italic>P</jats:italic>–<jats:italic>T</jats:italic> path to similar peak conditions of ∼16–20 kbar and 560–610 °C. The results establish that regional assemblage variation is systematic, with the alternation in peak amphibole phase due to peak conditions overlapping the glaucophane–barroisite solvus, and bulk composition effects stabilizing blueschist <jats:italic>v</jats:italic>. eclogite facies assemblages at similar <jats:italic>P</jats:italic>–<jats:italic>T</jats:italic> conditions. Furthermore, the results reveal that a steep prograde <jats:italic>P</jats:italic>–<jats:italic>T</jats:italic> path is common to all eclogite units in the Sanbagawa belt, indicating that metamorphic conditions were consistent along strike. All localities are compatible with predictions made by a ridge approach model, which attributes eclogite facies metamorphism and exhumation of the Sanbagawa belt to the approach of a spreading ridge.</jats:p>

     View Summary

    Natural deformed rocks derived from the continental crust and exposed in the Ruby Mountains-East Humboldt Range of the western US were investigated. Obtained rock samples show the different deformation textures in rocks predicted to have been deformed under different deformation conditions in the continental crust. A set of these rock samples can provide us information of the rheological properties of under various deformation conditions in the crust. In laboratory experiments it was successful to obtain crystallographic orientation information of minerals and the Ti contents of quartz grains in samples. This achievement enables us to constrain the quantitative deformation conditions and is expected to contribute to construct a detailed strength profile through the crust.
