Stable isotope ratios of S, O and Sr have been measured for active vent materials which were first found and sampled in April 1987 from the Mariana backarc spreading axis at 18°N. Chimneys consisted mostly of barite with a lesser proportion of sulfide minerals such as sphalerite, galena, chalcopyrite and pyrite. Theδ34S values of sphalerite and galena taken from several chimneys and various parts of a chimney showed a narrow range from 2.1 to 3.1‰, suggesting uniform conditions of fluid chemistry during chimney growth. The sulfur isotopic results imply a contribution of hydrogen sulfide reduced from seawater sulfate in the deep hydrothermal reaction zone, considering that fresh glasses of the Mariana Trough basalts haveδ34S= −0.6 ± 0.3‰. Sulfur isotopic compositions of hydrogen sulfide in the high temperature vent fluids (δ34S= 3.6–4.8‰) which are higher than those of the sulfide minerals suggest the secondary addition of hydrogen sulfide partially reduced from entrained seawater SO42− at a basal part of the chimneys. This interpretation is consistent with theδ34S values of barite (21–22‰) that are higher than those of seawater sulfate. The residence time of the entrained SO42− was an order of an hour on a basis of oxygen isotopic disequilibrium of barite. Strontium isotopic variations of barite and vent waters indicated that Sr in barite was mostly derived from the Mariana Trough basalts with a slight contribution from Sr in circulating sea-water, and that 10–20% mixing of seawater with ascending hydrothermal fluids induced precipitation of barite at the sea-floor.  相似文献

Many serpentinite seamounts occur over a region 20–120 km west of the trench axis in the Izu-Ogasawara-Mariana forearc regions. The hydrogen and oxygen isotopic compositions of serpentine from these regions indicate that there are at least two kinds of waters responsible for serpentinization: seawater and water derived from dehydration of the descending slab. Serpentine from two Mariana and two Torishima samples with microscopically ductile and sheared texture (sheared-type) have lowerδD(−63to−52‰) and slightly higherδ18O values (+6.1 to +8.2‰) than that of other nine Ogasawara samples with mesh texture (mesh-type) (δD= −43to−49‰ andδ18O= +5.8to+6.7‰). This suggests that the sheared-type serpentine with lowerδD and slightly higherδ18O values was formed within the wedge mantle by interaction with water derived from a descending slab. The sheared texture is likely to have been produced during diapiric uplift. The unaltered portion of the ultramafic bodies later interacted with seawater after emplacement at or near the seafloor, resulting in formation of the mesh-type serpentine with higherδD values.  相似文献

A bimodal volcanic suite with KAr ages of 0.05–1.40 Ma was collected from the Sumisu Rift using alvin. These rocks are contemporaneous with island arc tholeiite lavas of the Izu-Ogasawara arc 20 km to the east, and provide a present day example of volcanism associated with arc rifting and back-arc basin initiation. Major element geochemistry of the basalts is most similar to that of basalts found in other, more mature back-arc basins, which indicates that back-arc basins need not begin their magmatic evolution with lavas bearing strong arc signatures.Volatile concentrations distinguish Sumisu Rift basalts from island arc basalts and MORB. H2O contents, which are at least four times greater than in MORB, suppress plagioclase crystallization. This suppression results in a more mafic fractionating assemblage, which prevents Al2O3 depletion and delays the initiation of Fe2O3(tot) and TiO2 enrichment. However, unlike arc basalts,Fe3+/ΣFe ratios are only slightly higher than in MORB and are insufficient to cause magnetite saturation early enough to suppress Fe2O3(tot) and TiO2 enrichment. Thus, major element trends are more similar to those of MORB than arcs.H2O, CO2 and S are undersaturated relative to pure phase solubility curves, indicating exsolution of an H2O-rich mixed gas phase. HighH2O/S, highδD, and low (MORB-like)δ34S ratios are considered primary and distinctive of the back-arc basin setting.  相似文献

Recent, fresh, volcanic rocks of the intra-oceanic Mariana and Volcano Arcs were analyzed for O and Sr isotopic compositions in order to determine the source of these magmas. Fresh, non-arc, volcanic rocks from the regions surrounding the Mariana-Volcano Arcs and some DSDP sediments were also analyzed for comparison. The oxygen isotopic ratios of the arc lavas (5.5–6.8‰) exhibited a small inter-island variation that cannot be entirely explained by fractional crystallization. The Sr isotopic composition of the arc lavas is remarkably uniform (0.70332–0.70394 for the Marianas). Three models are considered in order to explain the observed isotopic characteristics: (1) bulk mixing and melting of MORB-type mantle with (a) subducted sediments, and (b) subducted oceanic crust (excluding sediments); (2) melting of a mixture of sediment-derived fluids and MORB-type mantle; and (3) melting of a mixture of sediment-derived fluids and oceanic island or “hot-spot” type mantle. The last model fits the data best. The conclusion that very small, and variable, amounts of sediment-derived fluid ( 1%) are required to explain the observed inter-island O isotopic variation, is consistent with that of other workers who used different isotopic and trace element methods. The generation of magmas in the Mariana-Volcano Arcs involves very little sediment and the source region of Mariana lavas is isotopically indistinguishable from that of hot-spot basalts.  相似文献

Anhydrous spinel lherzolite xenoliths from the Shavaryn-Tsaram volcano, which represent unusually clinopyroxenerich samples of upper mantle beneath the Tariat Depression in north-central Mongolia, have particularly low δ18O values of +4.9 to +5.7‰ SMOW. Constituent minerals exhibit small (ca. 0.5–0.7‰) variations in18O content (olivine = +4.6 to +5.3‰, clinopyroxene = +5.6 to +6.1‰, orthopyroxene = +5.8 to +6.5‰), that are unrelated to xenolith modal mineralogy, chemical composition, radiogenic isotope character, or pyroxene equilibration temperature. This O-isotope character of the Tariat xenoliths is interpreted to reflect the closed-system distribution of oxygen isotopes in a slowly cooling mantle diapir emplaced into the lithosphere from a relatively primitive region of the asthenosphere.  相似文献

The Hasan Dagi volcano is one of the two large Plio-Quaternary volcanoes in Cappadocia (Central Anatolia, Turkey). Three stages of edifice construction have been identified for this volcano: Paleovolcano, Mesovolcano and Neovolcano. Most samples from Hasan Dagi volcano are calc-alkaline and define an almost complete trend from basaltic andesite to rhyolite. However, the more recent (Neovolcano) mafic samples are alkaline basalts. The mineralogical and geochemical characteristics of the oldest lavas (Keçikalesi (13 Ma) and Paleo-Hasan Dagi (7 Ma)) are significantly different from those of the younger lavas (Meso- and Neo-Hasan Dagi (<1 Ma)). Calcic plagioclase and pigeonite are typically observed in these older lavas. The Paleovolcano basalts are depleted in alkalis and display a tholeiitic tendency whereas the differentiated lavas are depleted in Na2O but enriched in K2O compared to younger lavas. There is an evolution through time towards higher TiO2, Fe2O3*, MgO, Na2O and K2O and lower Al2O3 and SiO2 which is reflected in the basalt compositions. All the basalts display multi-element patterns typical of continental margin magmas with a significant enrichment in LILE (K, Rb, Ba and Th) and LREE and strong (Paleovolcano) to moderate (Meso- and Neovolcano) negative Nb, Zr and Ti anomalies. However, the younger basalts are the most enriched in incompatible elements, in agreement with their alkaline affinities and do not systematically display negative HFSE anomalies. REE data suggest an hydrous amphibole-bearing crystallization history for both Meso- and Neovolcano lavas. The distinction between the older and younger lavas is also apparent in trace element ratios such as Nb/Y, Ti/Y and Th/Y. These ratios indicate the role of a subducted component±crustal contamination in the genesis of the Hasan Dagi lavas, particularly for the oldest lavas (Keçikalesi and Paleo-Hasan Dagi). The decreasing influence of this component through time, over the last 6–7 m.y., has been accompanied by an increasing contribution of melt-enriched lithosphere. Although the range of variation of Sr, Nd and Pb isotopic ratios is small (0.70457–0.70515; 0.51262–0.51273; 18.80–18.94; 15.64–15.69; 38.87–39.10), it also reflects the evolution of the magma sources through time. Indeed, the youngest (Neovolcano) and most primitive basalts display significantly lower 87Sr/86Sr than the Paleo- and Mesovolcano basalts, whereas the Mesovolcano basalts display more radiogenic Pb than Paleovolcano samples. Magma mixing processes between initially heterogeneous and/or variably contaminated magmas may account for the genesis of the less differentiated and intermediate lavas (48–57% SiO2). Meso- and Neovolcano differentiated lavas (60–68% SiO2) are either derived from the analyzed basalts or from more primitive and more depleted magmas by fractional crystallization±some crustal contamination (AFC). Furthermore, the highly differentiated samples (72–75% SiO2) are not strongly contaminated. The strong calc-alkaline character of Hasan Dagi lavas, in the absence of contemporaneous subduction, must reflect the heritage of the early subduction of the Afro–Arabian plate under the Eurasian plate. The evolution towards alkaline compositions through time is clearly related to the development of extensional tectonics in Central Anatolia in the Late Miocene.  相似文献

Whole-rock oxygen isotope compositions of cores and cuttings from Long Valley exploration wells show that the Bishop Tuff has been an important reservoir for both fossil and active geothermal systems within the caldera. The deep Clay Pit-1 and Mammoth-1 wells on the resurgent dome penetrate mildly to strongly altered Bishop Tuff with δ18OWR values as low as −2.6% (vs V-SMOW). The idfu 44-16 well intercepts a thinner Bishop Tuff section with δ18OWR values of +0.4 to +2.3%. in the western caldera moat, where milder and more sporadic 18O depletions occur in Tertiary volcanic rocks of the western caldera floor (δ18OWR = +2.2 to +6.4‰). Bishop Tuff samples from deeper parts of the 715 m rdo-8 (Shady Rest) well in the SW moat are also strongly depleted in 18O (δ18OWR = −1.5 to +0.6‰). Four shallow thermal gradient wells (469–715 m td drilled in the western moat did not penetrate Bishop Tuff, but Early Rhyolites from two of these holes are depleted in 18O (δ18OWR = −1.2 to +6.0‰ inplv-1 +4.6 to +5.3%. inmlgrap-1), compared to lithologic equivalents from the other two holes (δ18OWR = +6.3 to +8.0‰ inplv-2 andmlgrap-2).Whole-rock oxygen isotope profiles for the resurgent dome wells are unlike profiles calculated assuming alkali feldspar-H2O fractionation behavior and total O-isotopic equilibration with −14.3‰ fluids at measured temperatures. The sense of this divergence implies an earlier hydrothermal episode within the central caldera driven by one or more shallow intrusions. Geochemical similarities between an intrusive granophyre at the bottom of the Clay Pit-1 well and a nearby Moat Rhyolite dome with a K/Ar cooling age of 0.5 Ma suggest that vigorous hydrothermal activity beneath the central resurgent dome may have occurred as much as 0.5 m.y. ago. Calculated and measured O-isotope profiles are similar for deep wells that penetrate the western moat of the caldera, where steep temperature gradients and low δ18OWR values in Early Rhyolites from plv-1 are attributed to an active hydrothermal aquifer that has descended slightly from earlier, shallower elevations. Similarly, severe 18O depletions in Bishop Tuff samples from the idfu 44-16 and rdo-8 wells reflect active convection beneath the western moat, whereas milder 18O depletions in Early Rhyolites from mlgrap-1 were apparently caused by hydrothermal alteration at lower temperatures. The O-isotope profiles imply that surface discharge within and around the resurgent dome results from shallow, eastward-directed outflow from a zone of higher enthalpy hydrothermal upflow beneath the western caldera moat. Intrusive magmatic heat source(s) are inferred to exist beneath the western moat, perhaps beneath Mammoth Mountain.  相似文献

The chemical composition and D/H, and ratios have been determined for the acid hot waters and volcanic gases discharging from Zaō volcano in Japan. The thermal springs in Zaō volcano issue acid sulfate-chloride type waters (Zaō) and acid sulfate type waters (Kamoshika). Gases emitted at Kamoshika fumaroles are rich in CO2, SO2 and N2, exclusive of H2O. Chloride concentrations and oxygen isotope data indicate that the Zaō thermal waters issue a fluid mixture from an acid thermal reservoir and meteoric waters from shallow aquifers. The waters in the Zaō volcanic system have slight isotopic shifts from the respective local meteoric values. The isotopic evidence indicates that most of the water in the system is meteoric in origin. Sulfates in Zaō acid sulfate-chloride waters with δ34S values of around +15‰, are enriched in 34S compared to Zaō H2S, while the acid sulfate waters at Kamoshika contain supergene light sulfate (δ34S = + 4‰) derived from volcanic sulfur dioxide from the volcanic exhalations. The sulfur species in Zaō acid waters are lighter in δ34S than those of other volcanic areas, reflecting the difference in total pressure.  相似文献

18O/16O and 87Sr/86Sr ratios were determined for Quaternary calc-alkalic volcanic rocks from six volcanic rock suites in the central and western Japan arcs. The δ18O values relative to SMOW and 87Sr/86Sr ratios range from +6.3 to +9.90/00 and 0.70357 to 0.70684, respectively. Both the O- and Sr-isotopic compositions are higher than those for island-arc primitive magmas and their differentiates. The isotopic compositions of the calc-alkalic rocks cannot be derived by a simple fractional crystallization of the primitive magmas. On the other hand, the 18O- and 87Sr-enrichment is confined to the rock suites located in well-developed island arcs having thick continental-type crust with low or negative Bouguer anomalies. Involvement of 18O- and 87Sr-rich crustal material in the magma formation is suggested.The isotopic compositions vary remarkably within individual rock suites as well as from volcano to volcano. The data points in δ18O vs. 87Sr/86Sr plot accord with a mixing model between primitive magmas and crustal material of dioritic composition on an average, assuming their comparative Sr contents. The primitive magmas involved could not be low-Sr tholeiites, but magmas more or less enriched in incompatible elements including Sr, which correspond to high-alkali tholeiites or alkali basalts and their evolved magmas. The nature of the primitive magmas seems to change from tholeiitic to more alkalic with progressing island-arc evolution.Mixing of crust-derived melts is more plausible than assimilation of solid-rocks for involving 20 to 30% crustal material in the magmas along simple mixing curves. Isotopic variations between the rock suites are ascribed to variable Sr concentration radio of the end-members, variable isotopic compositions of crustal material or variable mixing ratio of the end-members. Extremely high-δ 18O rocks with moderate increase in 87Sr/86Sr ratio suggest another mixing process in shallower magma chambers between andesite magmas and metasedimentary rocks having high δ 18O and 87Sr/86Sr values but low Sr content. Subsequent fractional crystallization of once-derived magmas would be the prominent process for the rock suites showing gradual increase in 18O up to 10/00 with uniform 87Sr/86Sr ratios.  相似文献

Sulfur isotope effects during the SO2 disproportionation reaction to form elemental sulfur (3SO2+3H2O→2HSO4−+S+2H+) at 200–330°C and saturated water vapor pressures were experimentally determined. Initially, a large kinetic isotopic fractionation takes place between HSO4− and S, followed by a slow approach to equilibrium. The equilibrium fractionation factors, estimated from the longest run results, are expressed by 1000 ln αHSO4−–S=6.21×106/T2+3.62. The rates at which the initial kinetic fractionation factors approach the equilibrium ones were evaluated at the experimental conditions.δ34S values of HSO4− and elemental sulfur were examined for active crater lakes including Noboribetsu and Niseko, (Hokkaido, Japan), Khloridnoe, Bannoe and Maly Semiachik (Kamchatka), Poás (Costa Rica), Ruapehu (New Zealand) and Kawah Ijen and Keli Mutu (Indonesia). ΔHSO4−–S values are 28‰ for Keli Mutu, 26‰ for Kawah Ijen, 24‰ for Ruapehu, 23‰ for Poás, 22‰ for Maly Semiachik, 21‰ for Yugama, 13‰ for Bannoe, 9‰ for Niseko, 4‰ for Khloridonoe, and 0‰ for Noboribetsu, in the decreasing order. The SO2 disproportionation reaction in the magmatic hydrothermal system below crater lakes where magmatic gases condense is responsible for high ΔHSO4−–S values, whereas contribution of HSO4− produced through bacterial oxidation of reduced sulfur becomes progressively dominant for lakes with lower ΔHSO4−–S values. Currently, Noboribetsu crater lake contains no HSO4− of magmatic origin. A 40-year period observation of δ34SHSO4− and δ34SS values at Yugama indicated that the isotopic variations reflect changes in the supply rate of SO2 to the magmatic hydrothermal system. This implies a possibility of volcano monitoring by continuous observation of δ34SHSO4− values. The δ18O values of HSO4− and lake water from the studied lakes covary, indicating oxygen isotopic equilibration between them. The covariance gives strong evidence that lake water circulates through the sublimnic zone at temperatures of 140±30°C.  相似文献

The oxygen isotope systematics of Tertiary volcanic rocks of east-central Nevada and of plutonic and metamorphic rocks of the Ruby Mountains-East Humboldt Range core complex provide complementary evidence for major18O-depletion and 18O/16O homogenization of mid-crustal rocks during metamorphism and magmatism. The δ18O value of crustal source material for silicic volcanic rocks decreased from between +9 and +11‰ to between +7 and +8‰ over 5 Ma. Mid-crustal metasedimentary and granitic rocks in the East Humboldt Range have δ18O values very similar to the volcanic rocks and values are lower and more homogeneous at deeper structural levels. Exchange with deep-seated mantle-derived igneous rocks, or fluids derived therefrom, is the most plausible18O-depletion mechanism. Intrusion of these mafic magmas promoted crustal melting and fluid migration. Homogenization of 18O/16O resulted from migration of high-temperature fluids and melts at mid-crustal levels, and was less effective at higher structural levels where the crust was dominated by less permeable carbonate rocks.  相似文献

The Long Valley Exploratory Well, at the center of the Resurgent Dome of Long Valley caldera, penetrated pre-caldera basement rocks at a depth of 2101.72–2313.0 m, beneath the caldera-forming Bishop Tuff and post-caldera Early Rhyolite. The basement rocks contain prominent quartzites, with ubiquitous milky white quartz veins (with minor calcite and pyrite) and fractures of varied orientation and geometry. The other members of the basement sequence are very fine-grained quartz-rich graphitic pelites with calcite veins, spotted hornfels, and shallow intrusive rocks. Previous studies established the presence of a post-caldera, paleohydrothermal system (500–100 ka) to a depth of 2000 m that affected the Bishop Tuff and a recent (40 ka to present) hydrothermal system at shallow depth (<1 km). The deeper extent of these hydrothermal activities is established in this paper by a detailed oxygen isotope analysis of the drill core samples. 238 analyses of δ18O in 50 quartz veins within the 163.57 m depth interval of basement rocks reveal extreme heterogeneity in δ18O values (8–19.5‰). Majorities of the 84 bulk analyses of quartzites show variation of δ18O within a narrow range of 14–16‰. However, certain samples of these quartzites near the contacts with veins and fractures exhibit sharp drops in δ18O. The interbedded pelitic rocks and spotted hornfels have whole-rock δ18O ranging from 2.2 to 11.8‰. Clear, euhedral vuggy quartz that partially fills earlier open fractures in both the quartzites and quartz veins, has distinctive δ18O, ranging between −3.2 and +8.4‰. Low values of δ18O are also found in the hydrothermal minerals and whole rocks adjacent to the thin veins, clearly indicating infiltration of meteoric water. Three distinct observed patterns of fractionation in δ18O between veins and host quartzites are analyzed with the principles of mass balance, equilibrium oxygen isotope fractionation in closed system, and kinetically controlled oxygen isotope exchange in an open system. This analysis suggests that the early quartz veins formed due to a magmatic-hydrothermal activity with no influx of external water once the system comprising the sedimentary envelope and a magmatic-hydrothermal fluid phase became closed. Two-stage isotopic exchange processes caused fractionation in the δ values that originally formed arrays with slope 1 in a δvein quartz–δhost quartzite space. Another array in the same space, with near zero slope was also formed due to variation in temperature, initial isotopic compositions of the quartzite sequence and the fluid phase. Variation in temperature was mostly in the range of 300–400°C giving Δ (=δvein quartz–δhost quartzite)≈−2.8 to +2.8. The δ18O of the fluid could range from −5 to +10; however a narrower range of +5 to +10 can explain the data. This episode of hydrothermal activity could take place either as a single pulse or in multiple pulses but each as a closed system. A later, fracture-controlled, meteoric water (δ18O−0.46 to −12.13) flow and interaction (at 250°C) is interpreted from the analysis of δ18O values of the coexisting quartz and calcite pairs and existence of markedly 18O-depleted pelitic horizons interbedded with 18O-enriched quartzite layers. Thus, the interpreted earlier magmatic-hydrothermal activity was overprinted by a later meteoric-hydrothermal activity that resulted in steep arrays of δ18O values in the δvein quartz–δhost quartzite space. Calculations show that the likely life span of the post-caldera, hydrothermal activity in the depth range of 2.1–2.3 km beneath Long Valley was 0.08–0.12 Ma. Diffusive ±advective transport of oxygen isotopes from fracture-channelized meteoric water to nearly impermeable wall rocks caused a lowering of δ18O values in the quartz over short distances and in calcites over greater distances. Thus, the hydrothermal activity appears pervasive even though the meteoric water flow was primarily controlled by fractures.  相似文献

The composition of basalts erupted at the earliest stages in the evolution of a back-arc basin permit unique insights into the composition and structure of the sub-arc mantle. We report major and trace element chemical data and O-, Sr-, Nd-, and Pb- isotopic analyses for basalts recovered from four dredge hauls and one ALVIN dive in the northern Mariana Trough near 22°N. The petrography and major element chemistry of these basalts (MTB-22) are similar to tholeiites from the widest part of the Trough, near 18°N (MTB-18), except that MTB-22 have slightly more K2O and slightly less TiO2. The trace element data exhibit a very strong arc signature in MTB-22, including elevated K, Rb, Sr, Ba, and LREE contents; relatively lowK/Ba and highBa/La andSr/Nd. The Sr- and Nd- isotopic data plot in a field displaced from that of MTB-18 towards Mariana arc lavas, and the Pb-isotopic composition of MTB-22 is indistinguishable from Mariana arc lavas and much more homogeneous than MTB-18. Mixing of 50–90% Mariana arc component with a MORB component is hypothesized. We cannot determine whether this resulted from physical mixing of arc mantle and MORB mantle, or whether the arc component is introduced by metasomatism of MORB-like mantle by fluids released from the subducted lithosphere. The strong arc signature in back-arc melts from the Mariana Trough at 22°N, where the back-arc basin is narrow, supports general models for back-arc basin evolution whereby early back-arc basin basalts have a strong arc component which diminishes in importance relative to MORB as the back-arc basin widens.  相似文献

Isotopic compositions were determined for hydrothermal quartz, calcite, and siderite from core samples of the Newberry 2 drill hole, Oregon. The δ15O values for these minerals decrease with increasing temperatures. The values indicate that these hydrothermal minerals precipitated in isotopic equilibrium with water currently present in the reservoirs. The δ18O values of quartz and calcite from the andesite and basalt flows (700–932 m) have isotopic values which require that the equilibrated water δ18O values increase slightly (− 11.3 to −9.2‰) with increasing measured temperatures (150–265°C). The lithic tuffs and brecciated lava flows (300–700 m) contain widespread siderite. Calculated oxygen isotopic compositions of waters in equilibrium with siderite generally increase with increasing temperatures (76–100°C). The δ18O values of siderite probably result from precipitation in water produced by mixing various amounts of the deep hydrothermal water (− 10.5 ‰) with meteoric water (− 15.5 ‰) recharged within the caldera. The δ13C values of calcite and siderite decrease with increasing temperatures and show that these minerals precipitated in isotopic equilibrium with CO2 of about −8 ‰.The δ18O values of weakly altered (<5% alteration of plagioclase) whole-rock samples decrease with increasing temperatures above 100°C, indicating that exchange between water and rock is kinetically controlled. The water/rock mass ratios decrease with decreasing temperatures. The δ18O values of rocks from the bottom of Newberry 2 show about 40% isotopic exchange with the reservoir water.The calculated δ18O and δD values of bottom hole water determined from the fluid produced during the 20 hour flow test are −10.2 and −109‰, respectively. The δD value of the hydrothermal water indicates recharge from outside the caldera.  相似文献

Measurements of stable isotope compositions and water contents of boninite series volcanic rocks from the island of Chichi-jima, Bonin Islands, Japan, confirm that a large amount (1.6–2.4 wt.%) of primary water was present in these unusual magmas. An enrichment of 0.6‰ in18O during differentiation is explained by crystallization of18O-depleted mafic phases. Silicic glasses have elevated δ18O values and relatively low δD values indicating that they were modified by low-temperature alteration and hydration processes. Mafic glasses, on the other hand, have for the most part retained their primary isotopic signatures since Eocene time. Primary δD values of −53 for boninite glasses are higher than those of MORB and suggest that the water was derived from subducted oceanic lithosphere.  相似文献

During 1979–1989, variations were observed in the oxygen composition of the water contained in the geothermal reservoir at Vulcano Island, Italy.The reservoir water, that has a magmatic origin, showed an oxygen composition of +1.0±0.5‰ δ18O during periods without local tectonic earthquakes, and an oxygen composition of +3.4±0.5‰ δ18O after the highest-energy seismic activity that occurred recently near the island. A slight increase of the δ18O value in the reservoir water was also observed after a low-energy sequence of tectonic earthquakes that occurred at very shallow depth just beneath Vulcano Island. These 18O variations in the reservoir water are consistent with earthquake-induced increases in the contribution from high-temperature δ18O-rich magmatic condensate to the geothermal reservoir, and with subsequent decreases in the δ18O value due to 18O exchanges at the temporarily increased reservoir temperature during reactions between the highly reactive magmatic condensate and the local rocks.Only minor changes in the deuterium composition of the reservoir water occurred with time, as the δD value in the magmatic condensate released from the magma after major local earthquakes quickly approached the δD value of the water contained in the geothermal reservoir.Also the chloride concentration in the reservoir water appears to be linked to the contribution from the magmatic fluid. This chloride content seems not to have undergone major changes with time, as it may be buffered by temporary increases in the reservoir temperature up to values >300°C induced by major local earthquakes. This mechanism may possibly occur also in other magmatic–hydrothermal systems.  相似文献

The minerals of basic and acidic rocks from the volcano-sedimentary sequence in the Huelva area, Spain, Iberian Pyrite Belt, display an extendedδ18O enrichment. Quartzδ18O values from quartz-keratophyres vary from +10.5 to +17.0 and feldsparδ18O values from +14.4 to +16.0. For the spilite or spilitized doleritesδ18O values vary from +9.9 to +13.4 for feldspar, from +6.4 to +9.8 for chlorite, from +3.7 to +4.3 for ilmenite and from +13.6 to +14.0 for quartz, but pyroxene exhibits magmatic values, from +5.3 to +6.1 with an exception at +7.5. The chloriteδD values vary from −34 to −43‰.This is attributed to hydrothermal alteration with seawater enriched inδ18O by circulation through sediments.The temperatures of interaction determined from isotopic fractionations between minerals range from 400° to 520°C.CalculatedδD andδ18O values for water in equilibrium with the minerals at isotopic temperatures range from −16 to +5 and from +8.3 to +12.8, respectively.A model of circulation of seawater through a pile of sedimentary rocks and then through basaltic rocks is proposed to explain the high18O compositions of the rocks from the Huelva District. Water/rock mass ratios calculated from this model range between 0.3 and 0.7 for the determined range of temperatures.  相似文献

New oxygen isotope data are presented for submarine lavas erupted close to the transition between the oceanic Kermadec island arc and the continental Taupo Volcanic Zone, New Zealand. Volcanic glasses display δ18O values ranging from +5.65‰ to +5.83‰, clinopyroxenes range from +5.23‰ to +5.78‰ and olivines range from +4.83‰ to +5.47‰. Coexisting glass and phenocrysts in the lavas are in isotopic equilibrium, with one exception. Oxygen isotope ratios of back-arc lavas erupted through oceanic crust are indistinguishable from mid-ocean ridge basalts or lavas erupted in nearby back-arc settings. Although lavas from the arc front display elevated oxygen isotope ratios, the magnitude of 18O-enrichment is too great to result from recycling of subducted material alone. A single back-arc lava erupted through continental crust is also relatively 18O-rich suggesting that the most likely origin for the high δ18O signature is limited amounts of interaction between continental crust and melts derived from a mantle wedge that has been variably fluxed by recycled oxygen. The results of modelling open system behaviour in this volcanic system highlight the need for strong controls on the composition of local contaminants. Application of ‘average' crustal lithologies, as in other volcanic provinces, may lead to erroneous conclusions regarding the involvement of local basement.  相似文献

Eighteen basic rocks from Ascension Island (South Atlantic) give a mean87Sr/86Sr ratio of 0.70311 ± 17 for both volcanics and plutonic inclusions. The late-stage differentiated rocks (rhyolites and granitic inclusions) have much higher87Sr/86Sr ratios, up to 0.712. All these rocks display the same range of Nd isotopic compositions (εNdvalues from6.9to11.1with a mean on12samples of8.4 ± 0.6) implying a cogenetic relation between the two sequences. The D/H systematics lead to the same conclusion.In the NdSr diagram, the data plot close to the mantle array and show a positive correlation. This suggests a mixing between a depleted MORB-type mantle, i.e. the upper mantle, and a hot-spot with less depleted geochemical characteristics, i.e. the OIB mantle source.The total range of δ18O values lies between 4.8‰ for plagioclase cumulates and 6.7‰ for the most evolved rocks (peralkaline granites and comendites). The basic rocks have values around 5.3‰, typical of mantle-derived material. These oxygen data indicate that the high87Sr/86Sr ratios in the most evolved rocks (both volcanic and plutonic terms) result from the combination of two different processes: incorporation of slight amounts (< 1%) of high-temperature altered oceanic crust by the magma in the late stages of the differentiation process and then in-situ Rb decay since the time of formation of these rocks. Both processes were very effective because of the high Rb and low Sr contents of these evolved rocks.Oxygen isotope systematics in the Ascension Island granites and rhyolites indicate that a fractional crystallization process alone does not produce δ18O values higher than 6.7‰, i.e. that the ultimate δ18O enrichment, relative to the initial basic magma, is not greater than 1.5‰.  相似文献

δ18O values of coexisting garnet, clinopyroxene and phlogopite for twelve compositionally and texturally diverse Roberts Victor eclogite xenoliths range from +3.8 to +7.1, +4.0 to +7.4 and +5.9 to +7.4, respectively. Differences between theδ18O values of coexisting garnets and clinopyroxenes are normally zero; however, there is some variation in theδ18O values of different fractions of the same mineral in four samples which suggests the presence of isotopic zonation and inhomogeneity, possibly resulting from the introduction of a secondary fluid which metasomatized the eclogites and resulted in the formation of phlogopite, amphibole and celsian. Theδ18O value of the metasomatic fluid is generally buffered by the isotopic composition of the primary garnet and clinopyroxene, as indicated by a correlation between the isotopic composition of phlogopite and the primary pyroxene and garnet.The large range inδ18O values of the eclogites and the similarity in the isotopic composition of coexisting pyroxene and garnet support the interpretation that the Roberts Victor eclogites represent metamorphosed, altered basalts. The eclogites were subjected to infiltration metasomatism in the mantle prior to their incorporation in the kimberlite, and the source of this fluid was probably unrelated to the eclogite.  相似文献
