Abstract

The Bunam Stock ($29.5km^2$ area) is an outcrop of plutonic complex classified four facies: coarse-grained granite, quartz monzodiorite, granodiorite and fine-grained granite. Three facies except the last one exhibit very irregular boundaries with gradational compositional variations between both facies and show concentric zoning from the central quartz monzodiorite through granodiorite to outer coarse-grained granite. Mafic microgranular enclaves (MME) commonly occur in granodiorite. Some MMEs, have very fine-grained chilled margins and indentedly crenulate contacts, and display horizontally circular and vertically elongate shapes. Their shape and granularity indicate coeval flow and mingling of partly crystalline felsic and mafic magmas. MMEs exhibit dark fine-grained margins giving them a ellipsoidal form that has been attributed to undercooling of a mafic magma as blobs intruded into a felsic magma. The observed relations in the Bunam Stock identify that two endmembers are coarse-grained granite from a felsic magma and quartz monzodiorite from a mafic magma, and hybrid is granodiorite including MMEs. So they exhibit concentric zoning that lays the center on the mafic endmember due to magma mixing at the contacts of two magmas, when mafic magma injected into felsic magma. Thus the quartz monzodiorite may probably represent an ancient conduit of mafic magma transport through a granitic magma chamber. Mafic magma would rise through the conduit in which favorable conditions for magma mixing occurred. All these features suggest that they formed from mixing processes of calc-alkaline magma in the Bunam Stock.

부남암주(면적 $29.5km^2$)는 조립질 화강암, 석영몬조섬록암, 화강섬록암과 세립질 화강암 등의 4개 암상으로 분류되는 심성암 복합체이다. 세립질 화강암을 제외한 3개 암상은 석영몬조섬록암을 중심으로 화강섬록암과 조립질 화강암 순으로 동심원상 누대분포를 나타내며, 암상 간에는 매우 불규칙한 경계를 가지고 점이적 조성변화를 나타낸다. 또한 화강섬록암에서는 둥근 모양의 고철질 미립상 포유체(MME)를 흔하게 산출한다. 얼마의 MME는 경계가 들쭉날쭉하고 모양이 수평면에서 원상이지만 수직벽에서 상하로 긴 타원상이며 입도가 대개 세립질이지만 극세립질 냉각연변대를 가진다. 이러한 모양과 입도는 부분적으로 결정질인 규장질-고철질 마그마의 동시성 흐름과 혼화작용을 지시한다. 즉 MME는 규장질 마그마 속으로 주입하는 고철질 마그마가 방울로서 과냉각됨으로 타원체 모양을 이루며 어두운 극세립질 연변대를 나타내는 것이다. 부남암주에서 관찰되는 동심원상 누대분포, 불규칙한 경계 및 점이적 조성변화, 화강섬록암에서 MME의 산출과 타원체 배열 및 냉각연변대 등의 야외관계들에 의하면 두 개의 단구성원은 규장질 마그마에 의한 조립질 화강암과 고철질 마그마에 의한 석영몬조섬록암이고, 혼성암은 포유체를 함유하는 화강섬록암이라는 것이 증명된다. 그리므로 이들은 규장질 마그마 속으로 고철질 마그마가 주입할 때 중간에 혼합작용이 일어남으로써 고철질 단구성원을 중심으로 동심원상 누대를 나타내는 것이다. 여기서 석영몬조섬록암은 화강암질 마그마챔버 속으로 운반되는 고철질 마그마의 고기 화도를 나타내는 것으로 볼 수 있다. 고철질 마그마는 마그마 혼합작용에 효과적인 환경으로서 화도를 통해 상승하였던 것이다. 이러한 모든 특징은 부남암주에서 칼크알칼리 마그마의 혼합과정에 의해 만들어졌음을 암시해준다.
