Abstract
We have examined the suitability of a quartz-inclusions-in-epidote (qtz-in-ep) mineral barometer to better constrain P-T histories of epidote-bearing lithologies. Theoretical calculations applying an isotropic elastic model suggest that the qtz-in-ep barometer exhibits minimal temperature dependence, and thus, offers the potential to constrain growth conditions of epidote in various geologic environments, including skarn deposits, epidote-bearing granitoids, and metamorphic rocks.
To test if the applied equations of state and isotropic elastic model reasonably simulate the elastic evolution of two anisotropic minerals, we measured Raman shifts of the 464 cm–1 band of quartz inclusions relative to that of an unencapsulated quartz standard. We calculated a quartz inclusion pressure
Entrapment pressures
