Granitic rocks in the southeastern Gyeongsang Basin can be classified into three groups. The group I contains various mafic microgranular enclave (MME) and/or mafic clot which implies magma mixing or mingling. The group II show the feature of shallow depth emplacement at low pressure, and the group III is characterized by A-type granite implying extensional tectonic environment. Mineralogical characteristics of the granitic rocks have showed systematic variations in perthite exsolution temperatures and biotite compositions according to their rock facies, although they do not show any distinctively different trend in geography and textures or rock facies. Amphiboles from Group I are calcic-amphibole and they were formed at 0.4 ～ 2.8 kb in pressure based on the amphibole geobarometry. Amphiboles from group ill are riebeckite, whileas amphiboles were not observed in Group II. The chemical composition of biotite defined in clusters showing a continuous spectrum between group I to ferric-annite of group ill. The composition of plagioclase generally plotted in albite, oligoclase, and andesine area without any distinctive differences among their geography or rock facies. The exsolution temperatures by perthite geothermometry are calculated as $300～400^{\circ}C$ in Group I, and 500～$600^{\circ}C$ in equigranular granite of group II and alkali-feldspar granite of group III.

We present petrography, mineral chemistry of amphibole and plagioclase, and major and trace element chemistry for the Ogcheon metabasites occurring in the Poun and Mungyong areas to understand metamorphism, and to define chemical characteristics of parental rocks and their implication for tectonic environment. The Ogcheon metabasites often preserve relict igneous textures, although no primary phases are observed. They are mainly composed of amphibole (actinolite+hornblende)+plagioclase+epidote+chlorite+sphene+opaque oxides, indicating epidote amphibolite facies metamorphism. Coarse-grained amphiboles frequently have actinolitic composition in the core, and hornblende along the margin and cleavage, which can be interpreted either as miscibility gap or as result of polymetamorphism. Although presumed polymetamorphic events in the Ogcheon supergroup favor the latter possibility, further metamorphic studies are necessary to solve the problem. Amphibole and plagioclase chemistries suggest greenschist (epidote-amphibolite, if miscibility gap is present) to amphibolite facies metamorphism of possibly medium pressure. The major and trace element data of whole rocks indicate that the Ogcheon metabasites are transitional to tholeiitic basalts belonging to within-plate environment. Absence of evidences indicating deep sea environment suggests that the Ogcheon metabasites emplaced in an intra-cratonic, possibly rift environment which failed to proceed to an oceanic rift. Chemical variation of the metabasites toward a granitic pluton indicates K loss closer to the pluton, suggesting that caution should be taken when K is involved in a discussion.

연옥은 구성광물의 조직, 결합양상 및 화학조성 등에 의해 일반적인 투각섬석과 구분되며, 색, 경도 및 인성 등에 의해 등급과 가치가 달라진다. 본 연구에서는 춘천산 연옥을 대상으로 연옥의 물리적 특성(조직, 경도 및 인성) 등의 연구가 수행되었다. 춘천산 연옥은 구성광물인 투각섬석의 조직, 입도 및 공생광물(불순물)의 특성에 따라 세 가지 유형(유형 I, 유형 II, 유형 III)으로 구분된다. 유형 I은 치밀한 극미립의 초미정질(<5$\mu\textrm{m}$) 투감섬석의 치밀한 집합체로서 구성되며, 유형 II와 유형 III은 미정질(10~30$\mu\textrm{m}$) 및 세립 (>50$\mu\textrm{m}$)의 투각섬석 집합체로서 투휘석, 활석, 녹니석 및 사문석 등이 미량으로 함유된다.연옥을 구성하는 세 유형의 투각섬석의 화학조성은 Fe, Al 성분이 유형 III에서 가장 높은 함량(1.07~1.88wt.% FeO, 1.3~2.59wt.% Al2O3)을 나타내며, 유형 II(0.22~0.37wt.% FeO, 0.66~0.77wt.% Al2O3), 유형 I (0.20~0.24wt.% FeO, 0.05~0.12wt.% Al2O3)의 순으로 감소함을 보이고, SiO2 성분은 유형 I (59.13~59.67 wt.%), 유형 II(58.02~59.40wt.%), 유형 III (57.34~58.63 wt.%)순으로 함량이 낮아짐을 알 수 있다.연옥의 미경도(VHN=311~659)와 파괴인성치(2.38$\times$105~5.62$\times$105 dyne.cm-3/2)는 유형 I, 유형 II, 유형 III의 순으로 낮아진다. 이러한 결과는 조직 및 집합구조의 특성과 밀접한 관계를 갖고 있음을 반영한다.

The chemical similarity of the magnetite-bearing amphiboltes of the Yangyang iron mine to mixtures of sedimentary pelites and limestone or dolomite and to the Gyeonggi para-amphibolites (So, 1974) is consistently indicated by all the chemical data of the rocks. Eight amphibolite samples were each analyzed for 18 elements, by wet chemical and emission spectroscopic methods, and these chemical data were compared with the para-amphibolites from the Gyeonggi metamorphic complex. Petrography and oxidation ratios were also considered.

경기육괴 서남부에 위치한 홍성지역의 기반암은 선캠브리아 화강암질 편마암으로 이루어진 것으로 알려져 왔으나, 적어도 일부는 신원생대(약820 Ma) 시기에 관입한 토날라이트질 심성암체로 구성된다. 토날라이트의 주 구성광물은 석영, 사장석, 흑운모, 각섬석이며, 저어콘, 스핀, 녹니석, 인회석 등이 소량으로 산출한다. 이 연구에서는 야외 및 미세구조 관찰을 통해, 홍성 화강암질암에서 나타나는 구조적 요소들이 화성기원임을 보고한다. 홍성 토날라이트에서 관찰되는 구조들이 화성기원인 증거는: (1) 엽리가 연속성이 부족하고 주향과 경사가 불규칙하며, 드물게는 사층리처럼 보이기도 한다. (2) 자형 내지 반자형의 장석과 각섬석이 엽리면에 평행 또는 준평행하게 배열되어 있으며, 반정 주변에는 음영대(pressure shadow)가 발달하지 않는다 (3) 고철질 포획체(mafic enclave)는 주변암의 엽리에 평행하게 신장되어 있고, 완전히 고화 되지 않은 상태에서 형성되는 불꽃 구조(flame structure)가 드물게 관찰된다. (4) 고철질 포획체의 주 구성광물인 흑운모와 각섬석은 주변암의 엽리와 평행하게 배열되어 있으나, 소성변형의 증거를 보이지 않는다. 홍성 토날라이트에서 관찰되는 모든 조직들이 화성기원이라고 주장하기는 어렵지만, 모두 고체상태에서의 변형작용으로 설명하기는 더욱 힘들다. 후자가 화성기원의 조직에 어느 정도 영향을 주었는지는 추후의 연구를 통해 밝혀져야 할 것이다.

고령토의 조직과 산출상태의 관찰결과 산화철 광물을 침전시킨 철의 주요 근원은 모암인 회장암에 함유된 각섬석과 녹니석이다. X선 회절 분석결과 침철석은 녹니석이 버미큘 라이트로 변질되고 각섬석이 용해되기 시작하는 하부 백색 광석에서 우세하며, 적철석은 각섬석, 녹니석 및 버미큘라이트가 심한 용탈작용을 받는 상부 적갈색 광석이나 열 개에서 침철석과 함께 산출된다. 침철석 및 적철석내 Fe에 대한 Al의 치환량은 각각 6~26 mol% 및 5~8mol%이며 이 두 값 사이에는 비례 관계가 있다. 회절선폭의 크기로부터 계산된 침철석과 적철석의 평균 입자크기는 340$\AA$ 이하이며 침철석은 약간의 침상을 보이는 반면 적철석은 탁상이다. 전자현미경 관찰에 의하면 버미큘라이트와 수반되는 침철석은 침상 또는 성상이나 적갈색 광석에서는 그러한 특징이 작다. 적철석은 육각 또는 원형을 보이나 상부 적갈색 광석에서는 보다 불？칙한 모양이다. 적철석과 침철석의 광물학적 특성을 합성실험에서 보고된 결과들과 비교하여 성인적 측면에서 논의되었다. 이 지역에서는 침철석과 적철석의 생성에 적합한 기후조건들이 중첩된 것으로 생각된다.

The occurrence and mineralogical characteristics of asbestos in dolostone at Ungdo, Seosan were investigated by analyses of PLM, XRD, and SEM/EDS. Representative outcrops of dolostone at Ungdo were examined and four dolostone samples were collected according the occurrence type to identify the shape of asbestos in dolostone samples. The host rock of dolostone had been produced from the hydrothermal alteration and/or thermal metamorphism of which main source was assumed as the acidic granite. Tremolites were observed near the cracks or fractures of the dolostone as tamping or gob types. From the mineralogical analyses, main minerals of dolostone were dolomite with calcite, quartz, talc, amphibole, and pyroxene. From SEM/EDS analyses, tremolite-actinolite asbestoses were observed in dolostone and their shapes were prismatic and fibrous (less than $1{\mu}m$ in width). Non-asbestos prismatic forms were also found and they would transfer to asbestos particles resulting from the cleavage and fracture of the prismatic particles. Overall results suggest that asbestoses in Ungdo dolosotnes were mainly tremolite-actinolite and they were originated from the hydrothermal alteration of Ca-Mg rich dolostone.

The geology of the talc ore deposits in the Chungju area consists of the Kyemyeongsan Formation, the Munjuri Formation, the Daehyangsan Quartzite, the Hyangsanni Dolomite, and the basic rocks of the Ogcheon belt. The talc ore occurs in the Hyangsanni Dolomite near the Daehyangsan Quartzite The mineral assemblages in the Hyangsanni Dolomite are \circled1calcite-tremolite-talc-quartz, \circled2calcite-talc-quartz, \circled3tremolite-calcite-dolomite, and \circled4calcite-dolomite-phlogopite-chlorite. Talc has almost the ideal composition($X_{Mg}$=Mg/(Fe+Mg)=0.98). Talc was formed in siliceous dolomite by the medium-pressure type regional metamorphism. The evidences for contact metamorphism and/or hydrothermal reaction are not clear. The metamorphic grade of the Hyangsanni Dolomite and its adjacent pelitic or basic rocks near the deposits corresponds to epidote-amphibolite facies or greenschist facies based on the, mineral assemblages of \circled1hornblendebiotite-muscovite-epidote-quartz \circled2biotite-chlorite-quartz, and \circled3hornblende-actinolite-plagioclasequartz. The formation of the talc deposits were caused by the following reactions due to greenschist facies metamorphism of siliceous-dolomitic rocks in the Hyansanni Dolomite. (I) 3 dolomite+4 quartz+$H_2O$= talc+ 3 calcite +3 $CO_2$; (11) 3 tremolite+ 2 $H_2O$+ 6 $CO_2$= 5 talc+ 6 calcite + 4 quartz. The minimum temperature of the talc-tremolite-quartz assemblage is about $434^{\circ}C$ from calcite thermometry and the carbon dioxide mole fraction in metamorphic fulid($X_{$CO_2$}$) is about 0.1 at assumed pressure, 3 kbar.

This study examines the mineralogy of sepiolites occurred within the carbonaceous rocks of Songak schist and Pyeongtaek migmatitic gneiss of Precambrian Seosan group, in the western part of Chungnam. Host rocks of the sepiolite were dolomitic rocks and have experienced hydrothermal alteration and metamorphism. Mesozoic granite is assumed as a main source of hydrothermal alteration for the dolomitic rocks. Some of the tremolite asbestos coexist with the sepiolites. Representative sepiolite and tremolite samples were collected from the layers cracks or fractures of the dolomitic rocks and/or examined with microscope with microscope, XRD, SEM and TEM. Sepiolites are mainly recognized along the cracks assumed as pathways of hydrothermal solution. Tremolites are mainly found at layers or cracks of the dolomitic rocks and occur as asbestos as well as non-asbestos forms. It was confirmed that some of the tremolite asbestos were coexisted with the sepiolites. Overall results suggest that the occurrences of sepiolites within the dolomitic rocks mainly result in the hydrothermal alteration and the fluid from the acidic rocks, possibly granites. It also suggests that coexisting tremolite asbestos were formed by similar geological environment.

As results of X-ray diffraction analysis, samples of asbestos and soil were composed maily of dolomite ($CaMg(Co_3)_2$, tremolite ($Ca_2Mg_5Si_{18}O_{22}(OH)_2$), actinolite ($Ca(Mg,\;Fe)_6Si_8O_{22}(OH)_2$), talc ($Mg_3Si_4O_{10}(OH)_2$), calcite ($CaCO_3$) and small amounts of quartz ($SiO_2$) and clay minerals. The average size of asbestos fibers was about $100{\mu}m$ and maximum of some asbestos was $250.0{\mu}m$ in length. The aspect ratio of asbestos fiber were over 3 : 1 and inclined extinction in the range of $8.0-19.5^{\circ}$. Single isolated fragments of asbestos are probably fiber and acicula form in crystal edge along the cleavage plane. Tremolite that composed main asbestos mineral in rock and soil around Dong-a mine is higher content of Fe than actinolite asbestos.
