| ABSTRACT:
The In Ouzzal terrane in western Hoggar (South Algeria) preserves evidence of ultrahigh-temperature (UHT) crustal metamorphism. It consists in Archean crustal units, composed of orthogneissic domes and green stone belts, strongly remobilized during the Paleoproterozoic orogeny (2000 Ma, Peucat et al., 1996). Ouzegane et al. (2003) summarize this UHT metamorphic history as two granulitic stages of high temperature : a prograde evolution with peak conditions around 9-11 kbar and 950-1050°C, leading to the appearance of exceptional paragenèses with corundum-quartz, sapphirine-quartz and sapphirine-spinel-quartz in Al-Mg granulites, Al-Fe granulites and quartzites; followed by retrograde event characterized by a pressure drop to 5-7 kbar. This retrograde event is marked by intrusive carbonatite bodies and the occurrence of leptynites veins.
The present study is interested in Al-Fe granulites which outcrop in a still little known region situated in southeastern part of In-Ouzzal terrane. These granulites are mainly composed by quartz, spinel, garnet, sillimanite, cordierite, biotite, perthitic feldspar, ilmenite, ± corundum.
The study consist to dating these Al-Fe granulites by monazites (U-Pb - ICP-MS method) combined with their internal structures revealed by BSE imaging. The primary results suggest two major facts: 1- for the first time, the existence of at least one metamorphism older than 2.5 Ga; 2- a long live paleoproterozoic high temperature metamorphism.
These geochronological results completed and combined with a detailed phases relationship study of these Al-Fe granulites will are of major importance as for future discussion on the geodynamic context responsible for this regional UHT metamorphism as well as indicating a record the time of the different stages of granulitic metamorphism.
