Restite is the residual material left at the site of melting during the ''in place'' production of granite through intense metamorphism. Generally, restite is composed of a predominance of mafic minerals because these are harder to melt (see Bowen's reaction series). Typical minerals are amphibole, biotite, pyroxene, ilmenite or other iron oxides and some plagioclase feldspar. When chunks of restite are caught up within the granite it is known as a ''restite inclusion'' or enclave. == S-type restite reactions == Restite in S-type granites is produced from the melting, within the crust, of a typical metamorphic mineral assemblage of high-pressure gneiss of sedimentary origin; :biotite + quartz + feldspars → OH-bearing melt + orthopyroxene + cordierite + residual feldspars The melt reaction produces a granitic melt and solid orthopyroxene and cordierite. Cordierite in restite inclusions is unstable at low pressures; this reverts to Al-rich mica and quartz during ascent with the entraining magma. Orthopyroxene, unstable at low temperatures, reverts to an assemblage of biotite plus quartz. Restite feldspars will typically be a sodic plagioclase. Thus, restite inclusions in S-type granites will be a recrystallised granoblastic textured inclusion of biotite-muscovite-feldspar-quartz. If the restite minerals are carried with the magma, as the minerals become thermo-barometrically unstable during ascent, they will react back with the magma to form biotite from orthopyroxene, and feldspar or mica from cordierite. These reactions also involve consumption of significant quantities of water, and hence, will preclude the generation of a hydrothermal solution. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Restite」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
