18O/16O, 34S/32S, and D/H ratios as well as vacuum-fusion H2O+ contents were measured for late Tertiary volcanic basaltic rocks ranging in composition from quartz tholeiites and alkali olivine basalts to melilite-bearing olivine nephelinites and for peridotite xenoliths from the Northern Hessian Depression of W.-Germany. Measured Oisotope ratios in both basalts and peridotites were corrected for variable degree of post-eruption, secondary alteration. The ranges and means of corrected 18O values ( SMOW) for the North Hessian lavas and peridotites are: (i) 8 tholeiites: ca. +6.1 to +7.3 (¯x=+6.6), (ii) 21 alkali olivine basalts: ca. +5.4 to +7.6 (¯x=+6.5), (iii) 19 nepheline basanites, limburgites, and olivine nephelinites: ca. +5.3 to +8.0 (¯x=+6.6), and (iv) 23 peridotites: +5.1 to 7.0 (¯x+6.0). The 34S values ( CDT) for the tholeiites range from –0.6 to +1.4 (¯x=–0.03) and for the alkali basalts range from +0.9 to +8.6 (¯x=+2.5). The approximate D value ( SMOW) of the pristine basalts and peridotites is estimated to have been ca. –90The quartz tholeiites appear to have had a different genetic history than the alkali basalts. Supported by chemical evidence, the 18O and 87Sr enrichment observed in the tholeiites suggests low crustal contamination of parental olivine tholeiite melts, derived from a depleted mantle source. The contamination by crustal partial melts may have occurred in granulitic lower crust during differentiation. By contrast the high 18O and 34S values observed for the alkali basalts and peridotites are best explained in terms of metasomatic alteration of the mantle source region by fluids enriched in 18O, K, and incompatible trace elements prior to partial melting. The 18O-K relationships for the peridotites indicate that the mantle beneath the Northern Hessian Depression has had a complex stable isotope history involving at least two distinct metasomatic events. The earlier event involved a CO2-rich fluid which modified 18O/16O ratios without altering the mineralogical character of the mantle peridotite. The second event involved an aqueous fluid, which mainly altered the clinopyroxene and introduced phlogopite (plus possibly apatite, carbonate, and amphibole). It superimposed an 18O and K enrichment upon a previously altered mantle.  相似文献

The island of Kod Ali is a small diatreme cone lying close to the Ethiopian coast at latitude 13° 57 N, longitude 41° 49 E. This volcanic structure, produced by geologically Recent volcanic activity, consists, almost entirely, of pyroclastic debris. Evidence of a liquid phase is confined to the thin veneers of markedly alkalic olivine basalt which coat many of the abundant gabbroic, pyroxenitic and lherzolitic fragments found on the island. As silicic inclusions are completely absent and as the alkalic liquid phase and the tholeiitic inclusions are seemingly genetically unrelated, it is proposed that the latter might have been derived from a tholeiitic plutonic layered sequence that underlies the tholeiitic basalts of an oceanic Red Sea floor.  相似文献

The genesis of basaltic magmas   总被引：29，自引：2，他引：29  
This paper reports the results of a detailed experimental investigation of fractionation of natural basaltic compositions under conditions of high pressure and high temperature. A single stage, piston-cylinder apparatus has been used in the pressure range up to 27 kb and at temperatures up to 1500° C to study the melting behaviour of several basaltic compositions. The compositions chosen are olivine-rich (20% or more normative olivine) and include olivine tholeiite (12% normative hypersthene), olivine basalt (1% normative hypersthene) alkali olivine basalt (2% normative nepheline) and picrite (3% normative hypersthene). The liquidus phases of the olivine tholeiite and olivine basalt are olivine at 1 Atmosphere, 4.5 kb and 9 kb, orthopyroxene at 13.5 and 18 kb, clinopyroxene at 22.5 kb and garnet at 27 kb. In the alkali olivine basalt composition, the liquidus phases are olivine at 1 Atmosphere and 9 kb, orthopyroxene with clinopyroxene at 13.5 kb, clinopyroxene at 18 kb and garnet at 27 kb. The sequence of appearance of phases below the liquidus has also been studied in detail. The electron probe micro-analyser has been used to make partial quantitative analyses of olivines, orthopyroxenes, clinopyroxenes and garnets which have crystallized at high pressure.These experimental and analytical results are used to determine the directions of fractionation of basaltic magmas during crystallization over a wide range of pressures. At pressures corresponding to depths of 35–70 km separation of aluminous enstatite from olivine tholeiite magma produces a direct fractionation trend from olivine tholeiites through olivine basalts to alkali olivine basalts. Co-precipitation of sub-calcic, aluminous clinopyroxene with the orthopyroxene in the more undersaturated compositions of this sequence produces derivative liquids of basanite type. Magmas of alkali olivine basalt and basanite type represent the lower temperature liquids derived by approximately 30% crystallization of olivine-rich tholeiite at 35–70 km depth. At depths of about 30 km, fractionation of olivine-rich tholeiite with separation of both olivine and low-alumina enstatite, joined at lower temperatures by sub-calcic clinopyroxene, leads to derivative liquids with relatively constant SiO2 (48 to 50%) increasingly high Al2O3 (15–17%) contents and retaining olivine + hypersthene normative chemistry (5–15% normative olivine). These have the composition of typical high-alumina olivine tholeiites. The effects of low pressure fractionation may be superimposed on magma compositions derived from various depths within the mantle. These lead to divergence of the alkali olivine basalt and tholeiitic series but convergence of both the low-alumina and high-alumina tholeiites towards quartz tholeiite derivative liquids.The general problem of derivation of basaltic magmas from a mantle of peridotitic composition is discussed in some detail. Magmas are considered to be a consequence of partial melting but the composition of a magma is determined not by the depth of partial melting but by the depth at which magma segregation from residual crystals occurs. Magma generation from parental peridotite (pyrolite) at depths up to 100 km involves liquid-crystal equilibria between basaltic liquids and olivine + aluminous pyroxenes and does not involve garnet. At 35–70 km depth, basaltic liquids segregating from a pyrolite mantle will be of alkali olivine basalt type with about 20% partial melting but with increasing degrees of partial melting, liquids will change to olivine-rich tholeiite type with about 30% melting. If the depth of magma segregation is about 30 km, then magmas produced by 20–25% partial melting will be of high-alumina olivine tholeiite type, similar to the oceanic tholeiites occurring on the sea floor along the mid-oceanic ridges.Hypotheses of magma fractionation and generation by partial melting are considered in relation to the abundances and ratios of trace elements and in relation to isotopic abundance data on natural basalts. It is shown that there is a group of elements (including K, Ti, P, U, Th, Ba, Rb, Sr, Cs, Zr, Hf and the rare-earth elements) which show enrichment factors in alkali olivine basalts and in some tholeiites, which are inconsistent with simple crystal fractionation relationships between the magma types. This group of elements has been called incompatible elements referring to their inability to substitute to any appreciable extent in the major minerals of the upper mantle (olivine, aluminous pyroxenes). Because of the lack of temperature contrast between magma and wall-rock for a body of magma near to its depth of segregation in the mantle, cooling of the magma involves complementary processes of reaction with the wall-rook, including selective melting and extraction of the lowest melting fraction. The incompatible elements are probably highly concentrated in the lowest melting fraction of the pyrolite. The production of large overall enrichments in incompatible elements in a magma by reaction with and highly selective sampling of large volumes of mantle wall-rock during slow ascent of a magma is considered to be a normal, complementary process to crystal fractionation in the mantle. This process has been called wall-rock reaction. Magma generation in the mantle is rarely a simple, closed-system partial melting process and the isotopic abundances and incompatible element abundances of a basalt as observed at the earth's surface may be largely determined by the degree of reaction with the mantle or lower crustal wall-rocks and bear little relation to the abundances and ratios of the original parental mantle material (pyrolite).Occurrences of cognate xenoliths and xenocrysts in basalts are considered in relation to the experimental data on liquid-crystal equilibria at high pressure. It is inferred that the lherzolite nodules largely represent residual material after extraction of alkali olivine basalt from mantle pyrolite or pyrolite which has been selectively depleted in incompatible elements by wall-rock reaction processes. Lherzolite nodules included in tholeiitic magmas would melt to a relatively large extent and disintegrate, but would have a largely refractory character if included in alkali olivine basalt magma. Other examples of xenocrystal material in basalts are shown to be probable liquidus crystals or accumulates at high pressure from basaltic magma and provide a useful link between the experimental study and natural processes.  相似文献

The Wild Bight Group (WBG) is a sequence of early and middle Ordovician volcanic, subvolcanic and epiclastic rocks, part of the Dunnage Tectonostratigraphic Zone of the Newfoundland Appalachians. A detailed geochemical and Nd-isotopic study of the volcanic and subvolcanic rocks has been carried out to determine the geochemical characteristics of the rocks, interpret their palcotectonic environments and constrain their petrogenetic history. The lower and central stratigraphic levels of the WBG contain mafic volcanic rocks with island-arc geochemical signatures, including LREE-enriched are tholeiites with Nd(t) =-0.1 to +2.2 (type A-I), LREE-depleted arc tholeiites with Nd(t) =+5.6 to +7.1 (type A-II) and an unusual suite of strongly incompatible-element depleted tholeiites in which Nd(t) ranges from-0.9 to +4.6 and is negatively correlated with147Sm/144Nd (type A-III). High-silica, low-K rhyolites occur locally in the central part of the stratigraphy, associated with mafic rocks of arc affinity, and have Nd(t) =+4.7 to +5.4. The upper stratigraphic levels of the WBG dominantly contain rocks with non-arc geochemical signatures, including alkalic basalts with Nd(t) =+4.6 to +5.5 (type N-I), strongly LREE- and incompatible element-enriched tholeiites that are transitional between alkalic and non-alkalic rocks with Nd(t) =+4.4 to +7.0 (type N-II) and rocks with flat to slightly LREE-enriched patterns and Nd(t) =+5.1 to +7.4 (type N-III). Rocks with non-arc and arc signatures are locally interbedded near the stratigraphic type of the WBG. Nd-isotopic data in the type A-I and A-II rocks are generally compatible with mixing/partial melting models involving depleted mantle, variably contaminated by a subducted crustally-derived sediment. The petrogenesis of type A-III rocks must involve source mixing and multi-stage partial melting, but the details are not clear. The geochemistry and Nd isotope data for types N-I, N-II and N-III rocks are compatible with petrogenetic models involving variable partial melting of a source similar to that postulated for modern oceanic island basalts. Comparison of the WBG with modern analogues suggests a 3-stage developmental model: stage 1) island-arc volcanism (eruption of type mafic volcancs); stage 2) arc-rifting (continued eruption of type A-I, A-I, eruption of types A-II and A-III mafic volcanics and high-silica, low-K rhyolites); and stage 3) back-arc basin volcanism (continued minor eruption of type A-I basalts, eruption of types N-I, N-II, N-III basalts). Stages 1 and 2 volcanism involved partial melting of subduction contaminated mantle, while stage 3 volcanism utilized depleted-mantle sources not affected by the subducting slab. This model provides a basis for interpreting coeval sequences in central Newfoundland and a comparative framework for some early Paleozoic oceanic volcanic sequences elsewhere in the Appalachian orogen.  相似文献

Mount Etna is composed for the most part of intermediate alkaline products, most of them porphyritic-the etnaïtes-, that may be defined as sodic trachybasalts or trachyandesites. The strato-volcanio itself overlies tholeiitic basalts (usually aphyric, except for olivine) belonging to three major types: olivine tholeiites (normative Ol+Hy; modal olivine and augite, titanomagnetite and ilmenite), pigeonite tholeiites (normative Hy+minor Ol or Qz; modal pigeonite and augite with minor olivine, ilmenite and titanomagnetite), transitional tholeiites, i.e. transitional between pigeonite tholeiites (aphyric) and alkali basaltic etnaïtes (porphyritic, with normative Ol+Ne or minor Hy; modal augite and olivine, titanomagnetite alone). An analcite basalt, chemically close to alkali basaltic etnaïtes, forms the small Cyclopean Islands, SE of Etna, and an alkali olivine basalt composes a neck at Paterno, SW foot of Etna.Both pigeonite tholeiites and alkali basaltic etnaïtes may be derived from a primitive olivine tholeiite magma by subtraction or addition of phases crystallized at moderate and low pressure (kaersutite±olivine, calcic plagioclase and clinopyroxene). The differentiation process implies crystal fractionation of the primitive olivine tholeiite magma at varying levels of the crust. The speed of ascent of the magma is thought to be the factor controlling the level at which differentiation may take place: in low velocity regimes, fractionation takes place at deeper levels of the crust. Slow ascent speeds would be the consequence of a developing crustal extension episode, induced by mantle diapirism that generated the olivine tholeiite magma below the Mount Etna area.  相似文献

Several types of basaltic and related rocks from NW Germany have been analysed for 14 lanthanides and yttrium. Alkali olivine basalts (13 samples) are the most common products of the late Tertiary volcanism in Northern Hessia and Lower Saxony. One basalt intermediate in composition between alkali olivine basalts and tholeiitic basalts has been investigated (intermediate basalt) beside 3 samples of the tholeiitic type. Several rare effusive rock species occur in this area. The number of samples is indicated in brackets: nepheline basanite (1), olivine nephelinites (5), peridotite inclusions (2) from one of the above mentioned alkali olivine basalts. Trachytes (3) and phonolite (1) from the Westerwald area, also Tertiary in age. Three nepheline leucite tephrites from the Eifel area, Pleistocene in age, and pyroxenes from the Recent Stromboli (Italy) have been included in this investigation.The lanthanides and yttrium are analysed after chemical preconcentration controlled by the use of spikes. La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Sm, Gd, Dy, Er, Yb have been determined with good accuracy and precision by X-ray fluorescence, Eu, Tb, Ho, Tm and Lu by optical emission spectrography.Following earlier suggestions the distribution pattern of the lanthanides in basalts has been compared with that of chondrites. Tholeiitic basalts of the area under investigation show only a slight deviation from the relative distribution of the lanthanides in chondrites. The latter contain a twentieth of the absolute concentration in tholeiitic basalts. All other effusive rocks of this volcanic province have higher Y and La-Lu abundances and increasing ratios of La-Eu/Y, Gd-Lu (in brackets) in the following sequence: intermediate basalt (3.7); alkali olivine basalts (7.6); nepheline leucite tephrites (8.8); nepheline basanite (9.1); olivine nephelinites (10.2); phonolite (11.1); trachytes (11.6). The highest concentration of yttrium and of the lanthanides is observed in olivine nephelinites (up to 860 ppm Y, La-Lu).The observed increase in absolute concentration of the lanthanides and in relative accumulation of the light lanthanide elements from chondrites to tholeiitic basalts, to intermediate basalt, to alkali olivine basalts and to nepheline basanite makes a genetic interrelation in this sequence of rock types probable. Chondrites resemble garnet peridotites as potential main constituents of the upper earth's mantle. The pattern of the distribution of the lanthanides confirms a hypothesis that some tholeiitic basalts represent the most primitive of all basaltic magmas. Several models on the origin of both tholeiitic and alkali olivine basalts from potential source rocks or melts in the mantle have been checked with the data on the abundances of the lanthanides. There is still a lack of information on rare earths distribution in abundant rock forming minerals to completely exclude crystal fractionation under different pressures in the mantle as the origin of the different tholeiitic and alkali olivine basalt magmas. Alkali and gas accumulation (including the light lanthanides) in the upper parts of deep seated magma reservoirs should be considered as a potential source of the different alkali basalts. This is a process which has been observed by Richter and Moore (1966) in Hawaiian lava pools.The concentration of all and accumulation of the light lanthanides in the olivine nephelinites of our area is much too high to be explained by assuming an assimilation of sedimentary carbonate rocks in alkali olivine basalt melts.  相似文献

An experimental investigation of olivine morphology   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  
Olivine crystals can adopt ten types of shape. Experimental crystallization of eight rock melts shows that there is a systematic change from polyhedral or granular olivines hopper olivines branching olivines randomly oriented chain olivines parallel-growth chain olivines chain+lattice olivines plate or feather olivines, with increase in cooling rate and with increase in degree of supercooling. This sequence involves changes from complete to progressively less complete crystals and from equant habit to elongate bladed habit (c>ab) to tabular habit (ac b). The sequence is not affected by the phase relations of the melt. The larger the olivine content of a melt the slower the cooling rate at which a particular olivine shape grows, whereas the lower the melt viscosity, the greater the cooling rate. Irrespective of the melt composition, comparable crystal shapes grow at the same degrees of supercooling. By comparison of the shapes of olivine crystals in experiments with those in rocks of similar composition, it is possible to deduce the cooling rate through the olivine crystallization interval and the approximate degree of supercooling at which the olivine crystals nucleated and grew in the rocks. The various shapes of skeletal olivines in many picrites, olivine-rich basalts and the Archaean spinifex rocks are not due to rapid cooling, but to rapid olivine growth caused by the high normative olivine content of the magma.  相似文献

Zusammenfassung Die Basalte des Pauliberges und von Stoob-Oberpullendorf im nördlichen Burgenland sind dem Finalvulkanismus der alpinen Orogenese zuzuordnen. Es handelt sich hierbei um Alkaliolivinbasalte.Die Basalte des Pauliberges sind an einer NW—SE verlaufenden Spalte aufgedrungen und lagern dem Kristallin direkt auf, die von Stoob-Oberpullendorf liegen auf Sanden und Tegeln und werden zum Unterschied von den Pauliberger Basalten wieder mit tertiären und quartären Sedimenten bedeckt. Den Pauliberger Basalten wird ein dazisch-levantines Alter zugeschrieben, die Stoob-Oberpullendorfer Basalte dürften schon etwas früher an der Grenze Sarmat-Pannon entstanden sein.Innerhalb der Basalte des Pauliberges sind vier verschiedene Basalttypen festzustellen: ein dunkler und heller Alkaliolivinbasalt, ein Sonnenbrenner und ein doleritischer Trachybasalt, die drei aufeinanderfolgenden Eruptionsphasen, ausgehend vom dunklen Alkaliolivinbasalt über hellen Alkaliolivinbasalt und Sonnenbrenner zum doleritischen Trachybasalt, zuzuschreiben sind. Die Entstehung dieser einzelnen Basalttypen, die in einer Differentiationsreihe vom Alkaliolivinbasalt über Trachybasalt zum Trachyt hin liegen, kann durch fraktionierte Kristallisationsdifferentiation erklärt werden.Der doleritische Trachybasalt als letztes Eruptionsprodukt ist in bereits abgekühlte Basaltmassen eingedrungen und hat die Oberfläche nicht mehr ganz erreicht, wobei er hypabyssisch erstarrt ist. Der Sonnenbrenner weist einen beträchtlichen Gehalt an Analzim, der primär aus der Restschmelze gebildet wurde, auf; der fleckenhaften Verteilung dieses Minerals hat dieses Gestein seine Sonnenbrennerstruktur zu verdanken.An den Basalten von Stoob-Oberpullendorf sind keine Differentiationserscheinungen festzustellen gewesen, wenn auch übereinanderlagernde Basaltdecken auf mehrere Eruptionen hinweisen.
Composition and genesis of the basalts from the Pauliberg and from Stoob-Oberpullendorf (Burgenland, Austria)
Summary The basalts comprising the Pauliberg and from the Stoob-Oberpullendorf region in nothern Burgenland are a part of the final vulcanic activity of the Alpine orogenesis. They consist chiefly of alkaline olivine basalts.The Pauliberg basalts were extruded along a fracture trending NW—SE and overlie the cristalline basement while those from Stoob-Oberpullendorf flowed onto sands and green marls and were, in contrast to the Pauliberg basalts, subsequently covered with Tertiary and Quartary sediments. The Pauliberg basalts are Dazic-Levantinic in age whereas those of Stoob-Oberpullendorf were probably extruded somewhat earlier: possibly near the Pannon boundary.The Pauliberg basalts are divided into four different types: dark alkaline olivine basalt, light alkaline olivine basalt, bunch light basalt, and doleritic trachybasalt. These four types crystallized in three successive erruptive phases. In the first phase the dark alkaline olivine basalt was extruded. The light alkaline olivine basalt comprises the second phase along with the bunch light basalt. During the third phase the doleritic trachybasalt crystallized. The origin of these individual flows, whose compositions lie along the differentiation line from alkaline olivine basalt through trachybasalt to trachyte, can best be explained by differentiation through fractional crystallization. The last phase, the doleritic trachybasalt, intruded the earlier cooled basaltic rocks, and is only found as hypabyssal bodies. The bunch light basalt contains considerable analcime, formed primarily from the residual melt, and gives rise to the bunch light structure due to the spotty distribution of the analcime.Features of differentiation are not found in the Stoob-Oberpullendorf basalts, although superposed basalt flows indicate several periods of eruption.

Shombole, a nephelinite-carbonatite volcano in south Kenya, erupted silicate lavas, carbonatite dikes and tuffs, and pyroclastic rocks similar to those at other East African alkaline centres. Shombole lavas containing cpx + nepheline + accessory minerals range from perovskite-bearing nephelinites (43% SiO2, volatile-free) to sphene-bearing and phonolitic nephelinites (46–49% SiO2) and phonolites (49–56% SiO2) and have low peralkalinity ([Na+K]/Al 1.15) which does not correlate with SiO2. Early fractionation of olivine and clinopyroxene strongly depleted Ni and Cr concentrations (10 ppm); fractionation of perovskite, melanite, sphene, and apatite produced negative correlations of all REE with SiO2. Many lavas contain cognate intrusive xenoliths and xenocrysts and oscillatory zoning is a common feature of clinopyroxene, nepheline, and melanite crystals, indicating recycling of intrusive material. Irregular calcite-rich bodies in many samples are interpreted as quenched immiscible Ca-carbonatite liquid, and [Ca-carbonate]-silicate liquid immiscibility is observed in experiments with one nephelinite. Chemical variation in the Shombole suite can be modeled as a combination of crystal fractionation (clinopyroxene and heavy minor phases) and retention of neutral density nepheline derived from disaggregated xenoliths entrained during emplacement of dike swarms. Six newly analyzed lavas from Oldoinyo L'engai, northern Tanzania, are geochemically similar to Shombole nephelinites except that they have relatively high Na2O+K2O (average 18% vs 12%) and Zr (average 680 ppm vs 400 ppm). They are extremely peralkaline and are not typical of nephelinites from other centres. Three with [Na+K]/Al1.5 contain euhedral wollastonite phenocrysts; three with [Na+K]/Al2.0 contain combeite (Na2Ca2Si3O9) phenocrysts and pseudomorphs after wollastonite. Both types contain abundant sodalite phenocrysts (+nepheline+clinopyroxene+melanite+sphene). Seven other wollastonite nephelinite samples from L'engai have been described, but it is a lava type rarely seen in other centres. Combeite has been described from only two other locations (Mt. Shaheru, Zaire; Mayener Feld, Eifel). The hyperalkaline L'engai nephelinites have compositions similar to those of experimental silicate liquids immiscible with natrocarbonatite. Textural evidence for both carbonate-silicate (as carbonate globules) and silicate-silicate (as two optically discrete glasses with distinct compositions) liquid immiscibility is observed in the samples.  相似文献

Iron enrichment and clinopyroxene composition are considered to be good indicators of the magmatic parentage of volcanic series produced by fractionation of basaltic magma. Tholeiitic series are in fact believed to be constantly more iron enriched than alkalic series and systematic differences in the clinopyroxene mineralogy of the two suites seem also to be well established. The aim of this paper is to demonstrate that such generalization cannot be accepted, as natural conditions can be realized under which the fractionation of alkalic or mildly alkalic basalts may produce series with strong iron enrichment and with clinopyroxene mineralogy atypical for basalts of alkaline affinity.In the Erta'Ale volcanic range (Northern Danakil Depression, Ethiopia), an example of such a serie is found, with a mildly alkalic basaltic magma fractionating under low and falling oxygen fugacity and giving rise to a series with some tholeiitic chemical and mineralogical features.  相似文献

Experimental study of natural alkalic lava compositions at low pressures (pO2QFM) reveals that crystallization of primitive lavas often occurs in the sequence olivine, plagioclase, clinopyroxene, nepheline without obvious reaction relation. Pseudoternary liquidus projections of multiply saturated liquids coexisting with plagioclase (±olivine±clinopyroxene±nepheline) have been prepared to facilitate graphical analysis of the evolution of lava compositions during hypabyssal cooling. Use of (TiAl2)(MgSi2)–1 and Fe3+ (Al)–1 exchange components is a key aspect of the projection procedure which is succesful in reducing a wide range of compositions to a systematic graphical representation. These projections, and the experiments on which they are based, show that low pressure fractionation plays a significant role in the petrogenesis of many alkalic lava suites from both continental and oceanic settings. However, the role of polybaric fractionation is more evident in the major element chemistry of these lava suites than in many tholeiitic suites of comparable extent. For example, the lavas of Karisimbi, East Africa, show a range of compositions reflecting a polybaric petrogenesis from primitive picrites at 1360° C/18 kb and leading to advanced low pressure differentiates. Evolved leucite-bearing potassic members of this and other suites may be treated in a nepheline-diopside-kspar (+olivine+leucite) projection. Compositional curvature on the plagioclase+clinopyroxene+olivine+leucite cotectic offers a mechanism to explain resorption of plagioclase in alkalic groundmass assemblages and the incompatibility of albite and leucite. This projection is useful for evaluating the extent of assimilation of the alkalic portions of crustal granulites. Assimilation appears to have played some role in the advanced differentiates from Karisimbi.  相似文献

Summary The mineralogy and petrology of three lithic fragments of alkalic highalumina basalt (Kreep) composition from the Apollo 12 coarse fines was studied in detail, using an electron microprobe, in order to gain insight into their crystallization histories. Most rocks of this composition are brecciated and our study indicates that a variety of environments of crystallization can be distinguished for mineral fragments and matrices. Mineral fragments are derived from members of the ANT suite (probably troctolites) in fragments 2 and 5, and the alkalic high-alumina basalt suite in fragment 3. The rocks from which they were derived were coarse-grained, recrystallized and equilibrated, as indicated by major, and especially, minor elements. Minor elements in plagioclase, olivine, pyroxene, and zircon are consistently lower in mineral fragments as compared with matrix minerals. The origin of large zircon fragments is problematic but they are probably from the alkalic high-alumina basalt suite. Mineral fragments may have been derived from plutonic rocks (none have yet been recognized from the alkalic high-alumina basalt suite), but possibly also from breccia fragments which were recrystallized in hot, thick ejecta blankets. The matrix of the lithic fragments is of alkalic high-alumina basalt composition and is either igneous or metamorphic, or both. Hence, lithic fragments 2 and 5 are polymict breccias whereas fragment 3 is a monomict breccia. Matrix glasses in fragments 2 and 3 represent melts fractionated along the orthopyroxeneplagioclase cotectic in the olivine-anorthite-silica pseudoternary system. If these liquids could be separated from the residuum and crystallized they would be, as yet, unrecognized members of the alkalic high-alumina basalt suite. The alkalic high-alumina basalt mixing component of fragment 5 (a polymict breccia) has such a composition and may be derived from such a fractionated rock. A mineral fragment of pyroxene intergrown with ilmenite, approximately parallel to (001), is interpreted as decorated shock lamellae rather than as a deep-seated intergrowth, as found in kimberlites. A glass coating on one side of fragment 3 has SiO2-rich and feldspathic schlieren and appears to be derived, by impact melting, from a rock of granite composition.
Petrologie einiger Gesteinsfragmente mit alkalic high-alumina basalt Chemismus aus dem Grobanteil von Apollo 12 Bodenproben
Zusammenfassung Drei Gesteinsfragmente mit alkalic high-alumina basalt (Kreep) Chemismus aus der Grobraktion von Apollo 12 Bodenproben wurden mittels einer Elektronenstrahl-Mikrosonde einer detaillierten Studie unterzogen, um Einblick in ihre Genese zu gewinnen. Der überwiegende Teil von Gesteinen dieser Zusammensetzung ist brekziös und unsere Studie zeigt, daß unterschiedliche Kristallisationsbedingungen für die Mineralfragmente und Matrizes herrschten. Die Mineralfragmente in den Fragmenten 2 und 5 stammen von Gesteinen der ANT- (Anorthositisch-Noritisch-Troctolitischen) Reihe (wahrscheinlich von Troctoliten) und in Fragment 3 von Gesteinen der alkalic high-alumina basalt-Reihe.Die Verteilung der Haupt- und Nebenelemente in den Mineralfragmenten zeigt, daß diese von rekristallisierten und equilibrierten, grobkörnigen Gesteinen stammen. Die Konzentrationen der Nebenelemente sind in allen Mineralfragmenten (Plagioklas, Olivin und Zirkon) deutlich geringer als in den Mineralen der Matrix. Die Herkunft der großen Zirkon-Fragmente ist nicht genau zu klären. Sie stammen jedoch wahrscheinlich von Gesteinen der alkalic high-alumina basalt-Reihe. Alle Mineralfragmente könnten von plutonischen Gesteinen stammen (solche sind von der alkalic highalumina basalt-Reihe zur Zeit noch nicht bekannt), sie könnten ihren Ursprung jedoch auch in prä-existenten Brekzien haben, welche in dichten, heißen Auswurfdecken rekristallisierten. Die Matrix der Gesteinsfragmente hat durchwegs eine alkalic high-alumina basalt Zusammensetzung und ist entweder magmatisch oder metamorph, oder beides. Die Fragmente 2 und 5 sind daher als polymikte und das Fragment 3 als monomikte Brekzie zu bezeichnen.Die Matrixgläser in den fragmenten 2 und 3 repräsentieren Rest-schmelzen, welche entlang der Orthopyroxen-Plagioklas-Kotektik im Olivin-Anorthit-SiO2-System fraktionierten. Diese Schmelzen würden-könnten sie vom System getrennt werden-bisher noch nicht bekannte Glieder der alkalic high-alumina basalt-Reihe darstellen. Eine derartige Zusammensetzung hat jedoch die Mischkomponente im Fragment 5 (eine polymikte Brekzie), welche von einem auf diesem Wege fraktioniertem Gestein stammen könnte.Ilmenit-Lamellen [subparallel zu (001)] in einem Pyroxenfragment stellen eher dekorierte Schocklamellen als Verwachsungen, wie sie aus Kimberliten bekannt sind, dar. Fragment 3 ist einseitig mit einem schlierigen Glas bedeckt, dessen Schlieren angenähert die Zusammensetzung von Alkalifeldspat und reinem SiO2 haben. Dieses Glas ist offensichtlich eine Impakt-Schmelze eines Gesteines von granitischer Zusammensetzung.

Zusammenfassung Durch Ausmessung der Chondrenquerschnitte an Anschliffen van sechs Chondriten und Messungen an isolierten Chondren von Borkut ergab sich:Die Häufigkeitsverteilung der Chondren ist symmetrisch, das Maximum liegt bei einem Durchmesser von 0,6–0,8 mm. Chondren Bind Rotationsellipsoide oder allgemeine Ellipsoids und zum geringen Teil Kugeln (etwa 12%). Kleinere Chondren sind kugelähnlicher als große. Die ellipsoidischen Chondren zeigen bei Borkut and Bluff sine deutliche Einregelung.Der Chondrit Borkut besteht aus Bronzit, Olivin, Nickeleisen, Troilit, Chromic und Glas mit Feldspatmikrolithen. Er enthält Pyroxen-, PyroxenOlivin-und Olivinchondren. Des Orthopyroxen ist ein Bronzit mit 24,5 Mol.-% FeSiO3, der Olivin enthält 31 Mol.-% Fe2S04.Das spezifische Gewicht ist 3,609 g/cm3, das Porenvolumen beträgt 19,06%.Der Gesamtmeteorit und die Chondren wurden getrennt chemisch analysiert. Nach Chernismus und Mineralbestand gehört Borkut dem L-Typ der Chondrite an.Die Pyroxenchondren von l3orkut bestehen aus Lamellensystemen nach (100) oder (101) and einem Feldspatglas mit Mikrolithen. Sie haben sich ebenso wie gemischte and Olivinchondren als Tröpfchen aus einer Schmelze gebildet, die schnell abgekühlt wurden. Die verschiedenen Chondrentypen können dadurch entstehen, daß ein Magma mit bereits ausgeschiedenen Olivinkristallen zu kleinen Tröpfchen zerrissen wurde, wobei Tröpfchen mit Olivinkristallen (gemischte Chondren) und solche ohne Olivin (Pyroxenchondren) entstanden.
Measurements of cross-sections of chondrules in. sections of 6 chondrites and measurements of isolated chondrules from Borkut yielded te following results:The grain size distribution of chondrules is symmetrical, its maximum being at a diameter of 0.6 to 0.8 mm. Chondrules are rotation ellipsoids or ordinary ellipsoids, a minor part are spherules (some 12%). Smaller chondrules form more perfect spherules than bigger ones. Elliptical chondrules in Borkut and Bluff show an evident orientation.The chondrite Borkut consists of bronzite, olivine, nickeliron, troilite, chromite, and glass with microlithic felspar. It contains pyroxene chondrules, pyroxene olivine chondrules, and olivine chondrules. The orthopyroxene is a bronzite containing 24.5 mol.-% FeSiO3, the olivine contains 31 mol.-% Fe2SiO4,Its specific gravity is 3.609 g/cm3, its porosity amounts to .19.06%.The whole meteorite and the chondrules had been chemically analyzed separately. According to its chemical composition and mineral content, Borkut has to be classified under type L of chondrites. The pyroxene chondrules of Borkut consist of systems of lamellae parallel (100) or (101) and of felspar glass with microlithic crystals. They, as well as mixed chondrules and olivine chondrules, originated from a melt as droplets, which cooled down rapidly. The different types of chondrules may originate, when magma containing already crystallized olivine is disrupted to droplets; the result is then either droplets containing olivine crystals (mixed chondrules) or droplets without olivine (pyroxene chondrules).

Origin and differentiation of picritic arc magmas,Ambae (Aoba), Vanuatu   总被引：3，自引：2，他引：1  
Key aspects of magma generation and magma evolution in subduction zones are addressed in a study of Ambae (Aoba) volcano, Vanuatu. Two major lava suites (a low-Ti suite and high-Ti suite) are recognised on the basis of phenocryst mineralogy, geochemistry, and stratigraphy. Phenocryst assemblages in the more primitive low-Ti suite are dominated by magnesian olivine (mg 80 to 93.4) and clinopyroxene (mg 80 to 92), and include accessory Cr-rich spinel (cr 50 to 84). Calcic plagioclase and titanomagnetite are important additional phenocryst phases in the high-Ti suite lavas and the most evolved low-Ti suite lavas. The low-Ti suite lavas span a continuous compositional range, from picritic (up to 20 wt% MgO) to high-alumina basalts (<5 wt% MgO), and are consistent with differentiation involving observed phenocrysts. Melt compositions (aphyric lavas and groundmasses) in the low-Ti suite form a liquid-line of descent which corresponds with the petrographically-determined order of crystallisation: olivine + Cr-spinel, followed by clinopyroxene + olivine + titanomagnetite, and then plagioclase + clinopyroxene + olivine + titanomagnetite. A primary melt for the low-Ti suite has been estimated by correcting the most magnesian melt composition (an aphyric lava with 10.5 wt% MgO) for crystal fractionation, at the oxidising conditions determined from olivine-spinel pairs (fo2 FMQ + 2.5 log units), until in equilibrium with the most magnesian olivine phenocrysts. The resultant composition has 15 wt% MgO and an mg Fe2 value of 81. It requires deep (3 GPa) melting of the peridotitic mantle wedge at a potential temperature consistent with current estimates for the convecting upper mantle (T p 1300°C). At least three geochemically-distinct source components are necessary to account for geochemical differences between, and geochemical heterogeneity within, the major lava suites. Two components, one LILE-rich and the other LILE- and LREE-rich, may both derive from the subducting ocean crust, possibly as an aqueous fluid and a silicate melt respeetively. A third component is attributed to either differnt degrees of melting, or extents of incompatible-element depletion, of the peridotitic mantle wedge.  相似文献

Boninite series volcanic rocks have been recovered from three dredge hauls on the inner slope of the Mariana Trench. These hauls included olivine boninites, boninites, boninitic andesites and boninitic dacites, as well as island arc tholeiitic basalts and andesites. The boninite series volcanics range from 52 to 68% SiO2, and are characterized by very low abundances of high-field-strength cations and heavy-rare-earth elements. Boninites and olivine boninites have phenocrysts of olivine and orthopyroxene, the andesites phenocrysts of orthopyroxene and clinopyroxene, and the dacites orthopyroxene, clinopyroxene, and plagioclase. Most of the major and trace element variation in the series from boninite to boninitic dacite can be modelled by fractionation of olivine, orthopyroxene, clinopyroxene, and plagioclase in the proportions 2.5412, leaving 47% residual liquid. The fractionation must be in part open-system: reverse zoned phenocrysts, resorbed olivine and plagioclase xenocrysts, and bulk rock compositions which cannot be fit by simple closed system crystallization indicate some magma mixing and phenocryst accumulation. Two boninitic magma stems can be identified, with similar high-field-strength element abundances, but different amounts of Ca, Na, Al and light-rare-earth elements. There is also evidence for a magma stem transitional in chemistry from the boninites to arc tholeiites. The compositions of these boninites are consistent with hypotheses for boninite formation by partial melting of a depleted mantle mixed with an incompatible element enriched fluid. The Mariana forearc boninite series lacks a strong iron enrichment, but produces andesites with lower Ti, Al and Y/Zr, and higher Mg, Ni and Cr than typical calcalkaline arc andesites and dacites. Boninites in the Mariana system were erupted only in the earliest phases of subduction zone activity.  相似文献

The Peräpohja schist belt in northern Finland rests unconformably on Archaean granitoids, and marks the early stages of Proterozoic crustal evolution in the Fennoscandian (Baltic) shield. 2440 Ma old layered mafic intrusions predate the supracrustal , and ca. 2200 Ma old sills of the gabbro-wehrlite association intrude the lowest quartzites and volcanics (Runkaus) of the sequence. The Sm-Nd mineral isochron of the Penikat layered intrusion gives an age of 2410±64 Ma. The initial Nd-values of the Penikat intrusion (Nd(2440) = –1.6) and the Runkausvaara sill (Nd(2200) 0) suggest that these mafic magmas were contaminated by older crustal material. The Sm-Nd and Pb isotopic results on the 2.44–2.2 Ga old Runkaus volcanics indicate mobility of Pb, fractionation of Sm/Nd during late greenschist facies metamorphism, and crustal contamination. The Pb-Pb data provide an age of 1972±80 Ma with a high initial 207Pb/204Pb ratio (1 = 8.49), while scattered Sm-Nd data result in an imprecise age of 2330±180 Ma, with an initial Nd-value of about zero. Secondary titanite gives an U-Pb age of ca. 2250 Ma. The Jouttiaapa basalts, in contrast, ascended from the mantle without interaction with older crust. These LREE depleted tholeiites mark a break in continental sedimentation, and yield a Sm-Nd age of 2090±70 Ma. Their initial Nd = + 4.2 ±0.5 implies that the subcontinental early Proterozoic mantle had been depleted in LREE for a long period of time. The first lava flows are strongly depleted in LREE, suggesting that their source was significantly more depleted than the source of mid-ocean ridge basalts today.  相似文献

The Delakhari sill (maximum thickness cf. 200 m) is the most extensive Deccan Trap instrusion which occurs in central India, between longitutdes 78°3835 to 78°2240 and latitudes 22°26 and 22°2230. Based on petrographic examination, the sill is divided, from bottom to top, into (1) the Lower Chilled Zone (LCZ), up to 8 m thick, marked by abundant interstitial glass and an overall fine grain size, (2) the Olivine-Rich Zone (ORZ), 27 m thick, enriched in olivine (relative to the other zones in the sill), (3) the Central Zone (CZ), 70 m thick, marked by depletion in olivine and overall coarse grain size, (4) the Upper Zone (UZ), 55 m thick, marked by the presence of two chemically and morphologically distinct olivine types and abundant interstitial granophyre, and (5) the Upper Chilled Zone (UCZ), 10–25m thick, marked by abundant interstitial glass.Compositions of the pyroxenes and olivines show an overall increase in Fe/Mg with crystallization, but extensive interzonal and intrazonal variations and overlaps exist. Olivine ranges from Fa24 (ORZ) to Fa95 (UZ). In the UZ and inner UCZ, an equant (Fa44–50, called type-A olivine) and interstitial skeletal olivine (Fa70–95, called type-B olivine) occur together. Compositions of the Ca-rich and Ca-poor pyroxenes fall in the range Wo38En34Fs28 to Wo33En8Fs59 and Wo14En41Fs45 to Wo16En19Fs65, respectively. Overall, the two pyroxene trends converge with Fe-enrichment except for one anomalous sample from the UZ which contains a Ca-rich (Wo34En8Fs58) and a Ca-poor (Wo10En18Fs72) pyroxene well within the Forbidden Zone of Smith (1972).Compositions of coexisting oxide minerals indicate that the sill crystallized at oxygen fugacities from 10–10 atm (ORZ) to 10–13 (UZ). The magma prior to intrusion appears to have been derived from a more primitive melt from which a considerable amount of olivine and plagioclase have fractionated out. A model of open, interrupted fractional crystallization in the sill is proposed to explain the compositional variations exhibited by the major mineral phases.A previous study (Crookshank 1936) concluded that the sill is actually a multiple intrusion and has given rise to the lowermost (flow I) and the topmost (flow III) lava flows in the neighboring area around Tamia (78°4015, 22°2035). The olivines of flows I and III have compositions Fo87 and Fo88 respectively, and are much more Mg-rich than the maximum Mg-rich olivine (Fo76) of the Delakhari sill, refuting the possibility of the sill being the feeder of the lava flows I and III.Geosciences Department, University of Texas at Dallas Contribution No. 338  相似文献

Alkali olivine basalts from Skye were simultaneously contact metamorphosed by Tertiary gabbro and granite intrusions and altered by the hydrothermal convection system that the plutons induced. Four metamorphic zones were mapped around the plutons. Furthest from the intrusions, in the primary olivine zone, metabasalts are composed of combinations of igneous olivine, augite, plagioclase, titaniferous magnetite, ilmenite, zeolites, gyrolite, sulfides, and chlorite-smectite intergrowths. Closer to the plutons, in the smectite zone, saponite and carbonate appear, primary olivine and gyrolite disappear, and zeolites decrease dramatically in abundance. Still closer to the plutons, in the amphibole zone, actinolite, edenite, chlorite, sphene, epidote, andradite, and quartz appear and saponite and chlorite-smectite intergrowths disappear. Along parts of the contact between gabbro and basalt, in the orthopyroxeneolivine zone, orthopyroxene, metamorphic olivine, and biotite appear and amphibole, chlorite, sphene, epidote, andradite, carbonate, and quartz disappear. Whole-rock chemical data indicate only minor change in the major-element chemical composition of the metabasalts during progressive metamorphism/hydrothermal alteration. Two-pyroxene eothermometry and various mineral-fluid equilibria suggest the range of peak temperatures attained in the metamorphic zones: orthopyroxene-olivine zone, 900°1, 030° C; amphibole zone, 400°–900° C; smectite and primary olivine zones, < 400° C. Mineralogical and oxygen isotopic alteration of the metabasalts were closely coupled: Basalts from the primary olivine zone with nearly unaltered igneous mineralogies have normal or near-normal wholerock 18O>+5 (SMOW); mineralogically more altered basalts from the smectite zone have whole-rock 18O=+2 to +5; still more mineralogically altered basalts from the amphibole zone (with one exception) have 18O<+ 2; completely recrystallized hornfelses from the orthopyroxene-olivine zone have 18O<0. The principal mechanism of isotope exchange between basalt and metamorphic/ hydrothermal fluid probably was heterogeneous mineralfluid reaction.Metabasalts from the orthopyroxene-olivine zone are mineralogically fresh pyroxene hornfelses that record crystallization temperatures > 1,000° C yet have highly altered whole-rock oxygen isotope compositions, 18O<0%. The hornfelses chemically interacted with metamorphic/hydrothermal fluids either at very high temperatures or while they were heated to > 1,000° C or both. Their mineralogy, however, rules out significant water-rock interaction after they cooled below 900° C. Hydrothermal convection on Skye was a two-stage process: (a) fluid flow through wall rocks initially was pervasive while they are heated; (b) fluid flow after the thermal peak in the wall rocks was sufficiently channelized that rocks such as those in the orthopyroxeneolivine zone were isolated from further fluid-rock interaction during all or almost all of the cooling history of the hydrothermal system.  相似文献

Previous studies of alkalic lavas erupted during the waning growth stages (<0.9 Ma to present) of Haleakala volcano identified systematic temporal changes in isotopic and incompatible element abundance ratios. These geochemical trends reflect a mantle mixing process with a systematic change in the proportions of mixing components. We studied lavas from a 250-m-thick stratigraphic sequence in Honomanu Gulch that includes the oldest (1.1 Ma) subaerial basalts exposed at Haleakaka. The lower 200 m of section is intercalated tholeiitic and alkalic basalt with similar isotopic (Sr, Nd, Pb) and incompatible element abundance ratios (e.g., Nb/La, La/Ce, La/Sr, Hf/Sm, Ti/Eu). These lava compositions are consistent with derivation of alkalic and tholeiitic basalt by partial melting of a compositionally homogeneous, clinopyroxene-rich, garnet lherzolite source. The intercalated tholeiitic and alkalic Honomanu lavas may reflect a process which tapped melts generated in different portions of a rising plume, and we infer that the tholeiitic lavas reflect a melting range of 10% to 15%, while the intercalated alkalic lavas reflect a range of 6.5% to 8% melting. However, within the uppermost 50 m of section. 87Sr/86Sr decreases from 0.70371 to 0.70328 as eruption age decreased from 0.97 Ma to 0.78 Ma. We infer that as lava compositions changed from intercalated tholeiitic and alkalic lavas to only alkalic lavas at 0.93 Ma, the mixing proportions of source components changed with a MORB-related mantle component becoming increasingly important as eruption age decreased.  相似文献

The Pliocene and Quaternary Patagonian alkali basalts of southernmost South America can be divided into two groups. The cratonic basalts erupted in areas of Cenozoic plateau volcanism and continental sedimentation and show considerable variation in 87Sr/86Sr (0.70316 to 0.70512), 143Nd/144Nd (Nd) and 206Pb/204Pb, 207Pb/204Pb, and 208Pb/204Pb ratios (18.26 to 19.38, 15.53 to 15.68, and 38.30 to 39.23, respectively). These isotopic values are within the range of oceanic island basalts, as are the Ba/La, Ba/Nb, La/Nb, K/Rb, and Cs/Rb ratios of the cratonic basalts. In contrast, the transitional basalts, erupted along the western edge of the outcrop belt of the Pliocene and Quaternary plateau lavas in areas that were the locus of earlier Cenozoic Andean orogenic arc colcanism, have a much more restricted range of isotopic composition which can be approximated by 87Sr/86Sr=0.7039±0.0004, Nd, 206Pb/204Pb=18.60±0.08, 207Pb/204Pb=15.60±0.01, and 208Pb/204Pb=38.50±0.10. These isotopic values are similar to those of Andean orogenic are basalts and, compared to the cratonic basalts, are displaced to higher 87Sr/86Sr at a given 143Nd/144Nd and to higher 207Pb/204Pb at a given 208Pb/204Pb. The transitional basalts also have Ba/La, Ba/Nb, La/Nb, and Cs/Rb ratios higher than the cratonic and oceanic island basalts, although not as high as Andean orogenic are basalts. In contrast to the radiogenic isotopes, 18O values for both groups of the Patagonian alkali basalts are indistinguishable and are more restricted than the range reported for Andean orogenic are basalts. Whole rock 18O values calculated from mineral separates for both groups range from 5.3 to 6.5, while measured whole rock 18O values range from 5.1 to 7.8. The trace element and isotopic data suggest that decreasing degrees of partial melting in association with lessened significance of subducted slabderived components are fundamental factors in the west to east transition from arc to back-arc volcanism in southern South America. The cratonic basalts do not contain the slab-derived components that impart the higher Ba/La, Ba/Nb, La/Nb, Cs/Rb, 87Sr/86Sr at a given 143Nd/144Nd, 207Pb/204Pb at a given 208Pb/204Pb, and 18O to Andean orogenic arc basalts. Instead, these basalts are formed by relatively low degrees of partial melting of heterogeneous lower continental lithosphere and/or asthenosphere, probably due to thermal and mechanical pertubation of the mantle in response to subduction of oceanic lithosphere below the western margin of the continent. The transitional basalts do contain components added to their source region by either (1) active input of slab-derived components in amounts smaller than the contribution to the mantle below the arc and/or with lower Ba/La, Ba/Nb, La/Nb, and Cs/Rb ratios than below the arc due to progressive downdip dehydration of the subducted slab; or (2) subarc source region contamination processes which affected the mantle source of the transitional basalts earlier in the Cenozoic.  相似文献
