罗丁岩(英语:Rodingite)是由钙铁榴石、钙辉石(calcic pyroxene)、符苏岩(vesuvianite)、绿帘石和方柱石(scapolite)组成的交代变质岩 [1]。 主要产于镁铁质岩石靠近蛇纹石化的超镁铁质岩石的地方。 当超镁铁质岩石被镁铁质岩石被蛇纹石化时,所排除的流体副产品含高 pH 值、Ca2+ 和 OH- ,与镁铁质岩石接触后,发生交代变质作用,而造罗丁岩[2][3],罗丁岩的矿物组成变化很大,但都具有高钙、和低硅的特征[4]。 罗丁岩产出最多的地方是蛇绿岩、蛇纹岩混杂岩、海底橄榄岩和榴辉岩地区中。 罗丁岩是根据在新西兰,罗丁河出露的顿山蛇绿岩带的露头而命名[5]

罗丁石化

罗丁石化的过程是渐变的。例如在蛇绿岩中的捕虏岩, 其中榴辉岩的罗丁石化 ,从体积,矿物组成,化学成分及纹理都呈现出连续变化。完全被罗丁石化的岩石,其矿物的组合与原岩差异很大[6][7]

全球元素循环

罗丁石化是全球元素循环重要作用之一。它能消除洋壳在变质时大量产出的的Ca。由于洋壳在地球表面的广泛分布,海洋岩石圈的超镁铁质岩在被石蛇纹岩化时,会释出大量Ca。 而罗丁岩的形成就能吸收这些Ca。保持Ca元素在全球的平衡。罗丁岩中的稳定Ca 和放射性 Sr 同位素的组成,与地幔特征相似,因此可证明罗丁石的 Ca 和 Sr 来自地幔 [8]
