Phlogopite solid-solutions have a wide pressure-temperature(P-T)stability field and are ubiquitous in a wide variety of geological settings,from deep lithosphere magmatic environments to upper crust meta-morphic domains.Phlogopite composition represents therefore a valuable physical-chemical archive and may provide important information regarding its crystallization and the petrogenesis of the host-rock.In this paper we examine the phlogopite phenocrysts from the well-known Fort Regent mica-bearing lam-prophyre minette from St.Helier(Island of Jersey,UK).Phlogopite phenocrystals from lamprophyres gen-erally show normal-step and continuous compositional zoning,however those from the Fort Regent minette show a peculiar texture characterized by dark brown high-Ti(average TiO2 ≈ 8.5 wt.%)cores enveloped by euhedral low-to mid-amplitude zonation due to oscillatory contents in Ti,Fe and Mg.Thermo-barometry modelling based on biotite-only composition yields relatively high P-T estimates(T≈ 970±54 ℃ at P ≈ 0.73±0.13 GPa)for cores whereas lower values(T ≈ 790±54 ℃ at P≈0.29±0.13 GPa)are obtained for the outer rims.Comparable temperatures(T ≈ 1075±54 ℃)but extre-mely high and anomalous pressure values(P≈ 1.82±0.13 GPa)are obtained for the yellowish inner rims.The combination of electron micro probe(EMP)analysis and single-crystal infra-red(FTIR)imaging in the OH-stretching region shows that the exceptional and oscillatory Ti contents are due to the Ti-vacancy substitution,typical of crystallization and growth processes of HP/HT environments.Raman imaging pro-vides additional insight for this process,confirming the dominant dioctahedral nature for the Ti-Fe-rich cores and outer rims.Interpretation of thermobaric estimates obtained from the phlogopite composition-only model,based on the fine-scale compositional evolution,shows that pressure-temperature values from low-Ti high-Mg domains should be carefully evaluated because the substitution mechanisms during the dark mica growth are not univocally related to pressure-temperature variation of the crystallizing environment.Our results demonstrate how a multidisciplinary approach based on the combination of chemical investigations and vibrational spectroscopies could represent a valuable tool to evaluate pres-sure-temperature estimates from biotite composition-only thermo-barometry models and therefore to correctly unravel HP/HT petrogenetic processes at a very fine scale.
