JF - Lithos : an international journal of mineralogy, petrology, and geochemistry N2 - With less than two decades of activity, research on melt inclusions (MI) in crystals from rocks that have undergone crustal anatexis - migmatites and granulites - is a recent addition to crustal petrology and geochemistry. Studies on this subject started with glassy inclusions in anatectic crustal enclaves in lavas, and then progressed to regionally metamorphosed and partially melted crustal rocks, where melt inclusions are normally crystallized into a cryptocrystalline aggregate (nanogranitoid). Since the first paper on melt inclusions in the granulites of the Kerala Khondalite Belt in 2009, reported and studied occurrences are already a few tens. Melt inclusions in migmatites and granulites show many analogies with their more common and long studied counterparts in igneous rocks, but also display very important differences and peculiarities, which are the subject of this review. Microstructurally, melt inclusions in anatectic rocks are small, commonly 10 mu m in diameter, and their main mineral host is peritectic garnet, although several other hosts have been observed. Inclusion contents vary from glass in enclaves that were cooled very rapidly from supersolidus temperatures, to completely crystallized material in slowly cooled regional migmatites. The chemical composition of the inclusions can be analyzed combining several techniques (SEM, EMP, NanoSIMS, LA-ICP-MS), but in the case of crystallized inclusions the experimental remelting under confining pressure in a piston cylinder is a prerequisite. The melt is generally granitic and peraluminous, although granodioritic to trondhjemitic compositions have also been found. Being mostly primary in origin, inclusions attest for the growth of their peritectic host in the presence of melt. As a consequence, the inclusions have the unique ability of preserving information on the composition of primary anatectic crustal melts, before they undergo any of the common following changes in their way to produce crustal magmas. For these peculiar features, melt inclusions in migmatites and granulites, largely overlooked so far, have the potential to become a fundamental tool for the study of crustal melting, crustal differentiation, and even the generation of the continental crust.

They often contain layers, lenses and irregular bodies of pyroxenite and eclogite. The origin of this heterogeneity and the nature of these layers is still debated but it is likely to involve processes such as transient melts coming from the crust or the mantle and segregating in magma conduits, crust-mantle interaction, upwelling of the asthenosphere and metasomatism. All these processes occur in the lithospheric mantle and are often related with the subduction of crustal rocks to mantle depths. In fact, during subduction, fluids and melts are released from the slab and can interact with the overlying mantle, making the study of deep melts in this environment crucial to understand mantle heterogeneity and crust-mantle interaction. The aim of this thesis is precisely to better constrain how such processes take place studying directly the melt trapped as primary inclusions in pyroxenites and eclogites. The Bohemian Massif, crystalline core of the Variscan belt, is targeted for these purposes because it contains orogenic peridotites with layers of pyroxenite and eclogite and other mafic rocks enclosed in felsic high pressure and ultra-high pressure crustal rocks. Within this Massif mafic rocks from two areas have been selected: the garnet clinopyroxenite in orogenic peridotite of the Granulitgebirge and the ultra-high pressure eclogite in the diamond-bearing gneisses of the Erzgebirge. In both areas primary melt inclusions were recognized in the garnet, ranging in size between 2-25 µm and with different degrees of crystallization, from glassy to polycrystalline. They have been investigated with Micro Raman spectroscopy and EDS mapping and the mineral assemblage is kumdykolite, phlogopite, quartz, kokchetavite, phase with a main Raman peak at 430 cm-1, phase with a main Raman peak at 412 cm-1, white mica and calcite with some variability in relative abundance depending on the case study. In the Granulitgebirge osumilite and pyroxene are also present, whereas calcite is one of the main phases in the Erzgebirge. The presence of glass and the mineral assemblage in the nanogranitoids suggest that they were former droplets of melt trapped in the garnet while it was growing. Glassy inclusions and re-homogenized nanogranitoids show a silicate melt that is granitic, hydrous, high in alkalis and weakly peraluminous. The melt is also enriched in both case studies in Cs, Pb, Rb, U, Th, Li and B suggesting the involvement of crustal component, i.e. white mica (main carrier of Cs, Pb, Rb, Li and B), and a fluid (Cs, Th and U) in the melt producing reaction. The whole rock in both cases mainly consists of garnet and clinopyroxene with, in Erzgebirge samples, the additional presence of quartz both in the matrix and as a polycrystalline inclusion in the garnet. The latter is interpreted as a quartz pseudomorph after coesite and occurs in the same microstructural position as the melt inclusions. Both rock types show a crustal and subduction zone signature with garnet and clinopyroxene in equilibrium. Melt was likely present during the metamorphic peak of the rock, as it occurs in garnet. Our data suggest that the processes most likely responsible for the formation of the investigated rocks in both areas is a metasomatic reaction between a melt produced in the crust and mafic layers formerly located in the mantle wedge for the Granulitgebirge and in the subducted continental crust itself in the Erzgebirge. Thus metasomatism in the first case took place in the mantle overlying the slab, whereas in the second case metasomatism took place in the continental crust that already contained, before subduction, mafic layers. Moreover, the presence of former coesite in the same microstructural position of the melt inclusions in the Erzgebirge garnets suggest that metasomatism took place at ultra-high pressure conditions. Summarizing, in this thesis we provide new insights into the geodynamic evolution of the Bohemian Massif based on the study of melt inclusions in garnet in two different mafic rock types, combining the direct microstructural and geochemical investigation of the inclusions with the whole-rock and mineral geochemistry. We report for the first time data, directly extracted from natural rocks, on the metasomatic melt responsible for the metasomatism of several areas of the Bohemian Massif. Besides the two locations here investigated, belonging to the Saxothuringian Zone, a signature similar to the investigated melt is clearly visible in pyroxenite and peridotite of the T-7 borehole (again Saxothuringian Zone) and the durbachite suite located in the Moldanubian Zone. N2 - Die Präsenz orogener Peridotite - metamorphosierte Bestanteile des Mantels -, die in Gebirgen auftreten, belegt, dass der Erdmantel an Kontinent-Kontinent-Kollisionen beteiligt sein kann. Solche orogenen Peridotite sind häufig heterogen, da sie Pyroxenit- und Eklogitlagen und Linsen enthalten, d.h. Hochdruckgesteine, die aus Granat und Klinopyroxen bestehen. Die meisten Prozesse, die für diese Heterogenität verantwortlich sind, involvieren Schmelzen, die durch den Mantel migrieren und dabei zu dessen Metasomatose oder zu der Anreicherung von Granat und Klinopyroxen in Adern und Kanälen führen. Ein weiterer Prozess kann auch das Recyceln subduzierter ozeanischer Kruste im Erdmantel sein. Im Allgemeinen finden all diese Prozesse während der Subduktion der Kruste in Manteltiefe statt. Unter diesen Bedingungen stehen die Krustengesteine im direkten Kontakt mit den Mantelgesteinen und die dabei freigesetzten Fluide oder Schmelzen können mit den Peridotiten wechselwirken. Letztere können anschließend von den Krustengesteinen aufgenommen und zur Erdoberfläche exhumiert werden, wo sie untersucht werden können. Diese Arbeit fokussiert sich vor allem auf die Untersuchung der Pyroxenit- und Eklogitbildung sowie auf die Wechselwirkung zwischen Schmelze und Gestein während der Subduktion der Kontinentalkruste in Manteltiefe. Dafür ist das Böhmische Massiv die ideale geologische Umgebung, da es erhebliche Mengen an Pyroxeniten und Eklogiten enthält, die sich in einigen Fällen in orogenen Peridotiten befinden, und die alle in einer ehemals tief subduziertern kontinentalern Kruste eingegliedert wurden. Um die Zielstellung zu erreichen, wurde die Schmelze mit einem neuartigen Ansatz untersucht, wobei diese hier direkt in primären Schmelzeinschlüssen, die im Granat eingeschlossenen sind, untersucht wird. Es wurden zwei Gebiete mit Pyroxeniten und Eklogiten, die Schmelzeinschlüsse enthalten, ausgewählt, ein Pyroxenit aus dem Granulitgebirge und ein Ultrahochdruck-Eklogit aus dem Erzgebirge (Sachsen, Deutschland). Die Einschlüsse bestehen aus einer granitischen, wasserhaltigen Schmelze krustaler Herkunft. Das Auftreten der im Granat unregelmäßig verteilten Einschlüsse bestätigt das Vorhandensein von Schmelze während der Peakmetamorphose. Da die Schmelzen in beiden Fällen ähnlich sind, schlussfolgern wir daraus, dass beide Gesteinsarten durch metasomatische Prozesse infolge der Wechselwirkung von silikatreicher Schmelze und mafischen Lagen gebildete wurden. Im Granulitgebirge ging die Schmelze eine Wechselwirkung mit mafischen Lagen im Mantel ein und erst später wurde der Wirtsperidotit einschließlich der neugebildeten Pyroxenit- und Eklogitlagen in die subduzierte Kruste eingebaut. Im Fall der Pyroxenite und Eklogite des Erzgebirges fand die Metasomatose stattdessen in der kontinentalen Kruste statt. Hier ging die Schmelze eine Wechselwirkung mit mafischen Lagen ein, die sich bereits vor der Subduktion in der Kruste befunden hatten. Im letzteren Fall belegt der Hinweis auf ehemaligen Coesit , d. h. auf ein Mineral, das Tiefen >95 km anzeigt, welches anwesend war während der Metasomatose, dass die Prozesse in größeren Tiefen stattfanden als im Granulitgebirge.
