Exchange reactions of Fe^<2+> and Mg^<2+> between orthopyroxene and cordierite (abbreviated to Opx and Crd, respectively) : [chemical formula] were experimentally investigated in the Mg-rich portion of the pyrope (Mg_3Al_2Si_3O_<12>)-almandine (Fe_3Al_2Si_3O_<12>) system at temperatures from 1000℃ to 1325℃ under atmospheric pressure. Combining the volume data, the distribution coefficient of Fe-Mg partitionings between these phases, K_D(=[numerical formula]), was formulated as ln K_D=(1424+7.02P)/T-0.619,where P and T are in kbar and K. This reaction is temperature-dependent and would be a useful geothermometer. The applications of this orthopyroxene-cordierite thermometer to some Antarctic granulites yield equilibration temperatures of 100℃-200℃ lower than the previous estimations. This suggests that the exchange reaction of Fe^<2+> and Mg^<2+> between orthopyroxene and cordierite continued down to closure temperatures of 500℃-600℃ caused by subsequent cooling after the peak of metamorphism. Temperature estimations using the present orthopyroxene-cordierite thermometer for the igneous suites including S-type tonalite, rhyolite and granulitic xenoliths in andesite are in good agreement with those obtained from other thermometers.
