| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In the Mariana forearc, there are many serpentinite seamounts composed of serpentinized peridotites derived from the wedge mantle. The serpentine mineral was initially the low-temperature phase, i.e., lizardite / chrysotile. It secondarily changed into the high-temperature phase, i.e., antigorite, which commonly coexists with Fe-rich olivine and diopside, and finally, it again changed into the low-temperature phase. On the other hand, the mafic rocks which occur as xenoliths in the seamounts were metamorphosed under the eclogite facies condition, and thereafter, they were retrogressively metamorphosed under the low temperature glaucophane schist facies condition. The thermal histories of both rock types are thought to be consistent. It probably reflects the flow of rocks within the subduction zone.
