The 16 pages that link to Metasomatism, each with the reason it gives.

• Metamorphic rockRelated: Chemically active fluids can change a rock’s mineral composition during metamorphism.

• Hydrothermal alterationRelated: Hydrothermal fluids can alter rocks by transporting elements into and out of them.

• Metamorphic petrologyRelated: Fluid-driven exchange can change a rock's composition as well as its minerals.

• Ore depositRelated: Fluid-driven replacement can create ore minerals within previously barren host rock.

• Contact metamorphismRelated: Magma-derived fluids can change aureole chemistry as well as heat the host rock.

• FluoriteRelated: Fluorite can form where fluorine-bearing fluids react with carbonate rocks.

• Metamorphic reactionRelated: Fluid-driven reactions can change rock composition, linking metamorphic reactions to metasomatism.

• SkarnNarrower topic: Skarn is a conspicuous product of metasomatic exchange between intrusion-derived fluids and carbonate rock.

• ProtolithRelated: Fluid-driven exchange can change a protolith’s composition during metamorphism.

• GreisenNarrower topic: Greisen forms as fluids chemically replace minerals in granite.

• MigmatiteCompared with: Fluid-driven compositional change can mimic melt-related segregation without partial melting.

• PetaliteRelated: Fluid-driven alteration can transform petalite into other lithium minerals.

• RecrystallizationCompared with: Unlike recrystallization alone, metasomatism changes bulk chemistry through material exchange.

• EpidoteRelated: Epidote-rich rocks can record fluid-driven transfer of calcium, iron, and other components.

• HedenbergiteRelated: Iron-rich fluids can promote hedenbergite formation in altered calcium-rich rocks.

• LepidoliteRelated: Fluid-driven alteration can modify lithium-rich pegmatites and their mica minerals.
