Figure 3: Sketches and associated photographs showing the partial melting processes.
From: Partial melting of deeply subducted eclogite from the Sulu orogen in China
(a) Stage-I. Early stage of partial melting, finger-shaped leucosome starts to aggregate within the hinge of the isoclinal eclogite fold. Scale bar, 5 cm. Sketches or field photo pointed to the blue and red box represent enlarged area where the boxes are. Field photo connected to the red box by the black arrow shows the irregular boundary between leucosome and residue that supports a magmatic partial melting genesis, scale bar in this photo is 1 cm across. (b) Stage-II. Medium stage of partial melting, melt channels (leucosome) interlayered and flowing surrounding the sheared folded eclogite. Scale bar, 10 cm. Red dashed box represents the same range of the field photo on its right column. (c) Stage-III. Mature stage of partial melting, melt aggregates into larger veins and then forms felsic dikes. Scale bar, 100 cm. The red box represents the same spatial range as the field sketch.
