AB: We measured compressional (Vp) and shear (Vs) wave velocities of plagioclases with albite, labradorite, and bytownite composition up to 700°C at 1 GPa with a piston cylinder high-pressure apparatus. The Vp and Vs measurements were conducted with the pulse reflection method. Simultaneous Vp and Vs measurements were carried out using 10°Y-cut LiNbO3 transducer. The discontinuous change in temperature derivative of Vp and Vs at 400°C is observed in the labradorite while the albite and bytownite show linear Vp and Vs change with elevating temperature up to 700°C. The temperature derivative of Vp (dVp/dT) and Vs (dVs/dT) is -0.9x10-4 km s-1 °C-1 and -1.2x10-4 km s-1 °C-1 in the albite, respectively. In the bytownite dVp/dT is -1.2x10-4 km s-1 °C-1 and dVs/dT is -0.9x10-4 km s-1 °C-1. The dVp/dT and dVs/dT in the labradorite is -0.7x10-4 and -1.2x10-4 km s-1 °C-1 below 400°C, respectively. Above 400°C dVp/dT and dVs/dT increase to -3.0x10-4 and -3.3x10-4 km s-1 °C-1, respectively. The XRD analyses of the labradorite before and after high P-T measurements show that the discontinuous change in temperature derivative of Vp and Vs in the labradorite would be the result of phase transition of plagioclase. The present data suggest that Vp and Vs of intermediate plagioclase above 400°C could not be evaluated by the simple mixing theory using the low temperature Vp and Vs values of end-member plagioclases (albite and anorthite).
