    The document summarizes research on orbicular Fe-cordierite found in the Temaguessine pluton in central Hoggar, Algeria. The pluton intruded the local basement rocks and Pan-African granites approximately 582 million years ago. The orbicular Fe-cordierite forms cores rich in cordierite surrounded by leucocratic quartz-feldspar rims. The orbicules resulted from the incongruent melting of meta-wacke xenoliths from the country rocks that fell into the granitic magma. The breakdown of biotite and quartz in the xenoliths produced cordierite and a quartz-feldspar melt that separated and formed

    The Temaguessine high-level subcircular pluton is intrusive into the LATEA
    metacraton (Central Hoggar – Algeria) Eburnian (2 Ga) basement and in the Pan-African
    (615 Ma) granitic batholiths along a NW–SE oriented major shear zone. It is dated here
    (SHRIMP U-Pb on zircon) at 582±5 Ma (Abdallah et al., 2007). Composed of
    amphibole-biotite granite and biotite syenogranite, it comprises abundant enclaves: mafic
    magmatic enclaves, country-rock xenoliths and remarkable Fe-cordierite (#Fe = 0.87)
    orbicules. The orbicules have a core rich in cordierite (40 %) and a leucocratic quartz–
    feldspar rim. They are interpreted as resulting from the incongruent melting of the meta-
    wacke xenoliths collapsed into the magma: the breakdown of the biotite + quartz
    assemblage produced the cordierite and a quartz–feldspar minimum melt that is expelled,
    forming the leucocratic rim. The orbicule generation occurred at T < 850 °C and
    P < 0.3 GPa. The Fe-rich character of the cordierite resulted from the Fe-rich protolith
    (wacke with 4 % Fe2O3 for 72 % SiO2). The cordierite orbicules are composed of a
    cordierite-rich core (40 %) and a leucocratic rim. They are located in the centre of the
    pluton near a 100-m-long quartzite xenolith, in a place where the roof of the pluton
    collapsed into the granitic magma. The cordierite orbicules resulted from the incongruent
    melting of meta-wacke xenoliths that have fallen in the magma. The resulting quartz–
    feldspar minimum melt obtained through dehydration melting of the biotite was extracted
    by overpressure and formed the leucocratic rim. The solid product of the incongruent
    melting was highly peraluminous (A/CNK= 3.35), with a high proportion of cordierite.
    The orbicule generation occurred at T < 850 °C and P < 0.3 GPa. (3) The Temaguessine
    cordierite is particularly rich in iron (Fe# = 0.87). This is probably the consequence of a
    Fe-rich protolith (wacke with 4 % Fe2O3 for 72 % SiO2). However, it is not sure if the Fe-
    rich and Al-rich composition of the biotite in the biotite syenogranite, enclosing the
    cordierite orbicules, is a consequence of the process (complete assimilation of smaller
    xenoliths) or implies some mixing between the granitic magma and the melt generated in
    the xenoliths. However, taking into account the leucocratic rim around the orbicules, we
    privilege the first interpretation.
