melanosome
melanosome Dark-coloured bands rich in
mafic and aluminous minerals, e.g.
biotite,
sillimanite, and
garnet, which are found between multiple coarse-grained quartzofeldspathic veins in regionally metamorphosed (see
REGIONAL METAMORPHISM)
pelites and
psammites. The melanosomes represent planar regions which have undergone extreme shortening by dissolution (or melting), and where removal of the
quartz and
feldspar components of the original rock along non-penetrative
cleavage planes developed as a result of high
shear stresses imposed during the regional metamorphic event. The mafic and aluminous components of the melanosome represent the undissolved or unmelted mineral residue left over from the original rock.
