Mass transfer and element redistribution during chloritization of metamorphic biotite in a metapelite: insights from compositional mapping

Fluid-driven reactions are common in the upper crust, leading to mineral replacement and element redistribution on a kilometer to a micron scale. One common fluid-induced reaction is the chloritization of biotite. Chloritization can lead to the production of multiple phases, such as K-feldspar, tita...
