Abstract:
16 samples of increasing metamorphic grade from the Ballachulish Igneous Complex and Aureole, located in the west of Scotland, were studied in order to analyze the sulfide mineralogy and to what extent they were affected by contact metamorphism. The samples were collected from two lithologies, the Creran Succession and the Ballachulish Slate lithology, as well as from the igneous complex. The sulfides of main interest in the samples are pyrite and pyrrhotite. At the onset of contact metamorphism, pyrite disappears while pyrrhotite gets more abundant as metamorphic grade increases. Pyrrhotite also undergoes multiple changes such as 1) elongation and thinning of the grains, 2) development of 120° grain-boundaries, 3) development of pyrite-zones within the pyrrhotite and 4) the decomposition of pyrrhotite and alignment of pyrite along its grain-boundaries at high temperature. The elongation of the grains occurs in both the Creran Succession and the Ballachulish Slate. The rest of the textures, however, can only be found in the Creran Succession. The two lithologies differ by the high graphite content in the Ballachulish Slate. The elongated grains as well as the pyrite inclusions in the pyrrhotite both are strong evidence of recrystallization. The absence of pyrite in the Ballachulish Slate was most probably caused by the buffering properties of the graphite-rich fluid in these rocks, causing more reducing conditions. There is evidence against a heavy, pervasive fluid flow through the aureole. However, the inner contact zone seems to have been affected by a more pronounced fluid flow. This could have been caused by the metamorphic fluid working in conjunction with fluids released from the intrusion. Regarding the mobility of S in the aureole, no strong evidence could be found, other than the decomposition of pyrrhotite grain-boundaries in the high-grade metamorphic samples.

Abstract:
The 2.06 to 2.054 Ga Bushveld Igneous Complex intruded into the sedimentary rocks of the Transvaal Supergroup and generated an extensive contact metamorphic aureole mainly developed in the upper Pretoria group. The studied samples represent the Silverton Daspoort and Timeball Hill formations and are divisible into garnet bearing hornfels (DY918, DY954 and DY956) and garnet-free staurolite-bearing metapelites (DY916, DY982 and DY987). The garnet-bearing hornfelses marks the garnet zone within the aureole and the garnet formation is controlled by different reactions forming from 490 to 630 0C. On the other hand, the garnet free staurolite-bearing Fe-Al rich metapelites define the staurolite zone restricted to the Timeball Hill formation. The recorded P-T conditions in G0 and G1 garnets of the DY954 hornfels imply that the two garnets formed under different conditions indicating two stages of metamorphism. However, the Lu-Hf isotope systematics of these garnets records a 2061 Ma age for all garnet porphyroblasts in both the DY918 and DY954 hornfelses, which support co-genetic garnet growth regardless of their stratigraphic positions. Therefore, the 2061 Ma garnet age denote the emplacement age of the Lower Zone and Critical Zone magmas which was synchronous with the extrusion of the Rooiberg Group volcanics. The fact that all analysed garnets do not record the 2059 – 2054 intrusion of the Main Zone and Upper Zone magmas probably means that the crystallisation temperatures of the later magma pulse was not significant enough to shift the Lu-Hf isotopic signatures. Euhedral staurolites are widespread within the Fe-Al rich metapelites with grain sizes of up 4mm; texturally the majority of them have been altered or overgrown by biotite and chloritoid. The alteration or of these staurolite porphyroblasts is due to isobaric cooling during uplift, and the St-Bt assemblage represent the peak equilibrium conditions and marks the upper stability limit of the Chl-Ctd assemblage.

Abstract:
The effects of fluid evolution and infiltration in the Alta stock contact aureole, Utah, were studied by evaluating chemical additions and depletions in igneous, replacement skarn, and carbonate whole-rock samples. Of the major and trace elements studied, boron proved to be the most interesting tracer of fluid, due in part to extensive borate mineralization (ludwigite and kotoite) in carbonates near the stock contact, and in part to the physical-chemical properties of boron which make it a useful element for isotopic studies and for spatial distribution analysis via alpha track mapping. Boron is enriched throughout the Alta aureole and is hosted by a variety of metamorphic and metasomatic silicate minerals (forsterite and humite group are the most significant). Aureole whole-rock B concentrations increase toward the contact, indicating that B originated in the stock and migrated down-temperature in exsolved magmatic fluids. Boron stable isotope measurements of carbonates, skarns and mineral separates range from $-$7.2 to +1.6$\perthous\ \delta\sp{11}$B. A value of ${-}6.0\perthous$ for a B-enriched igneous sill falls within this range and also indicates that the stock is the source of aureole B-enrichments.

Abstract:
Krkonose-Jizera plutonic complex is one of the largest composite plutonic bodies in the Czech massif. The emplacement of this pluton relates to the origin of the structural and thermal aureole. The processes of contact metamorphism are most evident in the northern and southern part. The topic of this work is to find influence of the contact metamorphism in the host rocks. Partial information about contact metamorphism in this area could be found in several papers, but there aren't work which discuss this topic in detail. Goal of this work is to make complex interpretation of contact metamorphic processes connected with intrusion of the Krkonose-Jizera plutonic complex and use this interpretation for discussion about model of magma intrusion. In rocks of contact aureole of Krkonose-Jizera plutonic complex (KJPC) were identified relicts of Variscan regional metamorphism, connected to creation of regional metamorphic fabric S1 and S2. Original mineral associations and deformation fabrics were in near-contact zone of KJPC 1 km in average in width heterogeneously overprinted by effects of the contact metamorphism, which intensity increases towards the intrusive contact. In the mineral associations of contact-metamorphic rocks appears characteristic minerals such as cordierite and andalusite, rarely...
