On the Origin of Migmatites in Yunlu, Western Guangdong

Abstract Partially migmatized rocks, banded migmatites, augen‐banded migmatites and gneissic migmatites are developed successively from Xindong to Yunlu, Gaozhou, Guangdong Province in the Yunkai Caledonian orogenic belt at the border between Guangdong and Guangxi. Mass‐balance calculations, statistical analysis of the textural relations and mineralogical and geochemical studies of the migmatites and the study of the metamorphic setting of the Yunlu area indicate that the migmatites in the study area were primarily formed by anatexis without remarkable introduction of foreign components such as K, Na and Si and removal of Ca, Fe, Mg, etc.
