Abstract:

The northern Jiangsu ultrahigh-pressure metamorphic belt is the eastern extending portion of the Qinling-Dabieshan
Orogenic Zone. According to the country rocks, the eclogites occurring in this belt can be classified into three types: G-type   in
gneiss, M-type  in marble and S-type  in serpentinite. Geochemical characteristics of eclogites show  that  their original  rocks are
complicated and related to mafic-ultramafic rocks derived from the lower crust or upper mantle with properties of both continental
and oceanic basalts. The eclogites contain useful compositions and are host  rocks of  rutile etc. deposits. Mineralization of
rutile  in eclogites  is mainly  related  to subduction and collision of  the North China Plate with  the Yangtze Plate and controlled
by characteristics of  lithology, deformation, and metamorphism. The eclogites contain many valuable minerals such as  rutile,
ilmenite, apatite, garnet, omphacite and thus have high economic significance for comprehensive utilization.

Key words: Ultra-highpressure metamorphic belt, eclogite, geochemistry, mineralization, comprehensive utilization
