The khondalite lithology is composed of a suit of metamorphic aluminium-sedimentary rock.During the Jinning movement, the sedmentary rock experienced four stages of metamorphism.
Its original rock is sedimented in the environment of active epicontinent-seaboard with basic volcanism, and become khondalite series through the Archean regional high-amphibolite facies metamorphism.
Thus, the boron-bearing rock system and the magnesian rocks are the foundation of the borate deposits, whereas regional metamorphism and migmatitization and tectonism are the necessary conditions.
The calcite deposits are derived from the recrystallization of the carbonatite as a result of the weathering, eluviation of the fault, and the thermal contact activity and the metamorphism.
The former three stages reflect the major process of eclogite facies metamorphism and the latest stages the light overprinting of greenschist facies retrometamorphism at the shallow level of crust.
Xiaertai rock group,a set of metamorphic rock system in Xiaertai area,has experienced strong ductilebrittle deformation and then thermal contact metamorphism and dynamometamorphism in the late stage.
Shock metamorphism has happened often on Mars, but there's also evidence for metamorphism that's a bit like a cooler, gentler version of what can happen on Earth.
