摘要

We use the crystallographic orientations of quartz crystals, as determined with EBSD, to provide new evidence for the formation of clustered quartz crystals during magma crystallization. Vinalhaven is dominated by granite, with minor porphyry that formed when granite remelted during input of coeval basalt. CL zoning suggests that most quartz clusters in granite and porphyry formed by synneusis, the “swimming together” of preformed crystals. In granite, most quartz pairs in clusters have random orientations—only about 10% have parallel or Esterel twin orientations. Porphyry has fewer quartz clusters, and all pairs have approximately parallel or Esterel twin orientations. CL zoning of quartz pairs in porphyry indicates that they attached prior to a major remelting event. Interpretation of the Vinalhaven quartz clusters leads us to propose that oriented synneusis occurs during crystal accumulation on a magma chamber floor. During hindered settling, some quartz crystals should have come into contact along their dipyramidal faces. Once in contact, continued settling and loss of interstitial melt may have rotated some quartz crystals such that lattices on their dipyramidal faces matched—producing parallel and Esterel twin orientations and creating strong bonds between pairs. Only a small proportion of pairs with matched dipyramidal faces formed in the granite and, during rejuvenation to produce porphyry, only these oriented pairs survived. Hence, the presence of oriented synneusis in a plutonic rock may demonstrate a history of crystal accumulation.
