Mafic-ultramafic cumulates can provide records of basaltic magma chambers' conditions and processes, which are often difficult to determine in areas dominated by crustal-derived felsic intrusions, such as the Malayer Plutonic Complex (MPC), Western Iran. New U-Pb zircon ages for mafic cumulates in the MPC confirm the presence of isolated magma chambers of contrasting compositions during Middle Jurassic. Mafic cumulates found in seven separate zones across the MPC vary from olivine gabbro to anorthosite. While the mineralogical, textural, and geochemical lines of evidence recorded in mafic cumulates indicate pH2O controls on the liquidus phases, the estimated oxygen fugacity (logfO2) using zircon and apatite chemistry suggests a smoothly rising redox state during the fractionation process, consistent with the trend expected for late-stages differentiation of hydrous arc magmas. This trend is further confirmed by sulfur speciation in apatites determined from microbeam sulfur K-edge X-ray absorption near edge structure (μ-XANES) spectra (S6+/∑S = 0.93–0.98 ~ FMQ + 2 to 0.99 ~ FMQ + 3, where ∑S = S6++S4++S2−). The low S content and increasing redox state of the fractionating basaltic melts most likely resulted from preferential removal of sulfur en-route to the magma chambers along with effective assimilation of oxidizing crustal components. The reduced condition in the early basaltic melt is also evidenced by the presence of pyrite and magnetite inclusions in olivines in mafic cumulates. The shift in the prevailing fO2 from sulfide-saturated to sulfate-bearing recorded by MPC mafic cumulates, similar to that in other magmatic arcs, is accompanied by changes in the differentiation path from transitional tholeiitic to calc-alkaline. 相似文献

In order to (1) explain the worldwide association between epithermal gold-copper-molybdenum deposits and arc magmas and (2) test the hypothesis that adakitic magmas would be Au-specialized, we have determined the solubility of Au at 4 kbar and 1000 °C for three intermediate magmas (two adakites and one calc-alkaline composition) from the Philippines. The experiments were performed over a fO2 range corresponding to reducing (∼NNO−1), moderately oxidizing (∼NNO+1.5) and strongly oxidizing (∼NNO+3) conditions as measured by solid Ni-Pd-O sensors. They were carried out in gold containers, the latter serving also as the source of gold, in presence of variable amounts of H2O and, in a few additional experiments, of S. Concentrations of Au in glasses were determined by LA-ICPMS. Gold solubility in melt is very low (30-240 ppb) but increases with fO2 in a way consistent with the dissolution of gold as both Au1+ and Au3+ species. In the S-bearing experiments performed at ∼NNO−1, gold solubility reaches much higher values, from ∼1200 to 4300 ppb, and seems to correlate with melt S content. No systematic difference in gold solubility is observed between the adakitic and the non-adakitic compositions investigated. Oxygen fugacity and the sulfur concentration in melt are the main parameters controlling the incorporation and concentration of gold in magmas. Certain adakitic and non-adakitic magmas have high fO2 and magmatic S concentrations favorable to the incorporation and transport of gold. Therefore, the cause of a particular association between some arc magmas and Au-Cu-Mo deposits needs to be searched in the origin of those specialized magmas by involvement of Au- and S-rich protoliths. The subducted slab, which contains metal-rich massive sulfides, may constitute a potentially favorable protolith for the genesis of magmas specialized with respect to gold. 相似文献

Monticellite is a common magmatic mineral in the groundmass of kimberlites. A new oxygen barometer for kimberlite magmas is
calibrated based on the Fe content of monticellite, CaMgSiO4, in equilibrium with kimberlite liquids in experiments at 100 kPa from 1,230 to 1,350°C and at logfO2 from NNO-4.1 to NNO+5.3 (where NNO is the nickel–nickel oxide buffer). The XFeMtc/XFeliq was found to decrease with increasing fO2, consistent with only Fe2+ entering the monticellite structure. Although the XFe-in-monticellite varies with temperature and composition, these dependencies are small compared to that with fO2. The experimental data were fitted by weighted least square regression to the following relationship:
\Updelta \textNNO = \frac{ log[ 0.858( ±0.021)\fracX\textFe\textLiq X\textFe\textMtc ] - 0.139( ±0.022) }0.193( ±0.004) \Updelta {\text{NNO}} = \frac{{\left\{ {\log \left[ {0.858( \pm 0.021)\frac{{X_{\text{Fe}}^{\text{Liq}} }}{{X_{\text{Fe}}^{\text{Mtc}} }}} \right] - 0.139( \pm 0.022)} \right\}}}{0.193( \pm 0.004)} where ΔNNO is the fO2 relative to that of the Nickel-bunsenite (NNO) buffer and XFeliq/XFeMtc is the ratio of mole fraction of Fe in liquid and Fe-in-monticellite (uncertainties at 2σ). The application of this oxygen
barometer to natural kimberlites from both the literature and our own investigations, assuming the bulk rock FeO is that of
their liquid FeO, revealed a range in fO2 from NNO-3.5 to NNO+1.7. A range of Mg/(Mg + Fe2+) (Mg#) for kimberlite melts of 0.46–0.88 was derived from the application of the experimentally determined monticellite-liquid
Kd Fe2+–Mg to natural monticellites. The range in Mg# is broader and less ultramafic than previous estimates of kimberlites, suggesting
an evolution under a wide range of petrologic conditions. 相似文献

Experimental studies, performed under oxidized conditions (fO2 > QFM + 2, where QFM is quartz–fayalite–magnetite oxygen buffer), have shown that Rh, Ru, Ir and Os are strongly compatible with Cr spinel, whereas empirical studies of Cr spinels from ultramafic–mafic rocks suggest that the experimental results may overestimate the partition coefficients. We report laser-ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) analyses of platinum-group elements (PGE), Au and Re abundances in Cr spinels from the Ambae volcano, Vanuatu (fO2 = QFM + 2.5), the Jimberlana layered intrusion, western Australia, and the Bushveld complex, South Africa (fO2 ～ QFM). The results show that Rh and IPGEs (Iridium-group PGE; Ru, Ir, Os) partition strongly into the Cr spinels that crystallized from the oxidized Ambae lavas whereas most of the Cr spinels from the more reduced Jimberlana layered intrusion and the Bushveld complex contain no detectable PGE, Au or Re, with exception of ～10 ppb of Ir in some Jimberlana Cr spinels. In the Ambae Cr spinels, Rh, Ru and, to lesser extent Os, are positively correlated with Fe3+, Ni and V. The homogeneous distribution of Rh and IPGEs in LA-ICP-MS time-resolved spectra indicates that these elements are in solid solution in Cr spinels. Pt–Fe alloys occur as inclusions within the Ambae Cr spinels, which indicate that the Ambae melt was saturated with Pt.Our results show that partitioning of Rh, Ru and Ir into Cr spinels increases with increasing oxygen fugacity, which suggests that the high concentrations of these elements in the Ambae Cr spinels are due to the high oxygen fugacity of the host magma. Therefore, Cr spinels may play an important role in controlling the concentrations of Rh and IPGEs during fractional crystallization of oxidized ultramafic–mafic magmas and during partial melting of oxidized arc mantle. 相似文献

We apply an oxygen barometer based on the Fe content of CaTiO3perovskite to estimate the oxygen fugacity (fO2) during thecrystallization and emplacement of kimberlites in differenteruptive phases of a single pipe, or between different pipes,clusters or provinces. Mineral chemical data for perovskitewere compiled from the literature and obtained in our detailedstudy of perovskites from 11 kimberlites at Somerset Islandand Lac de Gras, Canada. Perovskite compositions in kimberlitesrecord a range in fO2 of many orders of magnitude from NNO–5to NNO+6 [where log fO2 is given relative to the nickel–nickeloxide (NNO) buffer]. The range of fO2 recorded by differentparageneses of perovskite within a single pipe can vary up tothree orders of magnitude with trends toward both oxidationand reduction during crystallization. Kimberlites record someof the greatest ranges, and the highest known fO2 conditionsfor any terrestrial magma. This is attributed to the presenceof deep and oxidized source regions and the variable interplayof ferric–ferrous vs carbon–fluid equilibria duringascent of kimberlite magmas. Three kimberlite pipes from theLac de Gras field show that higher fO2 values correlate withhigher proportions of more resorbed diamonds, suggesting thatthis variable has a measurable effect on the physical propertiesof diamonds in a pipe.

We study the phase relations and mineral chemistry in the systems muscovite–NH3–N2-H2O and eclogite + muscovite–NH3–N2-H2O at 6.3–7.8 GPa, 1000–1200 °C, and oxygen fugacity (fO2) from ∼IW (Fe–FeO) to ∼ NNO (Ni–NiO) equilibria. The quenched H2O-bearing fluids differ in nitrogen speciation from NH3-rich to N2–rich, and the respective N2/(NH3+N2) ratio varies from <0.1 to ∼ 1. N-bearing K-cymrite is obtained in association with a kyanite-garnet-jadeite ± muscovite ± corundum assemblage in the muscovite–NH3–N2-H2O system and coexists with pyrope-almandine garnet and omphacite in the eclogite + muscovite–NH3–N2-H2O system. The presence of an N-bearing fluid in the studied systems stabilizes the K-cymrite structure. Muscovite does not convert to K-cymrite in the absence of NH3–N2-bearing fluid up to 7.8 GPa and 1070–1120 °C. According to FTIR and Raman spectroscopy, K-cymrite in equilibrium with an N-rich fluid can capture a huge amount of nitrogen in cages of its framework, mainly as N2 molecules at fO2 ∼NNO and predominantly as NH3 molecules at fO2 ∼IW. The storage capacity of K-cymrite with respect to nitrogen increases from 2.9 to 6.3 wt% with increase of fO2. FTIR spectroscopy of muscovite equilibrated with K-cymrite shows that the clathrate mechanism of nitrogen entrapment by aluminosilicates (as neutral N2 and NH3 molecules) is much more efficient than the K+ → (NH4)+ substitution. The structure of N-bearing K-cymrite (K,(NH4+))[AlSi3O8]·(N2,NH3,H2O) determined using X-ray single-crystal diffraction is very similar to that of H2O-bearing K- and Ba-cymrites. It includes aluminosilicate layers consisting of double six-membered tetrahedral rings and cation sites statistically occupied with K+, Ba2+ and (NH4)+ on the six-fold symmetry axis in interlayer space. The N2 and NH3 molecules are located near the cage centers and, unlike H2O molecules, are included in the coordination environment of the cations. Our study confirms that NH3- and N2-rich K-cymrite may be stable in metapelites and can act as a redox insensitive carrier of nitrogen to >250 km mantle depths in downgoing slabs. The stability field of N-rich K-cymrite in the presence of an N2–H2O–NH3-bearing fluid is inferred to be P ≥ 4 GPa in metasediments rich in K-feldspar and P ≥ 6 GPa in those containing phengite. As the slab material sinks deeper than 250–300 km where N-bearing K-cymrite may lose stability, the releasing nitrogen may migrate to metal-saturated mantle and become stored there in γ−Fe, Fe3C, metal melt, or even iron nitride phases. 相似文献

A series of liquidus determinations is reported for a primitive arc basalt (15.4 wt % MgO, 45.5 wt % SiO2) from Grenada, Lesser Antilles, at anhydrous, H2O-undersaturated and H2O-saturated conditions in the pressure range 1 atm to 1.7 GPa. \(\hbox{Fe}^{3+}/\Upsigma\hbox{Fe}\) of high-pressure experimental glasses as measured by μXANES ranges from 0.44 to 0.86, corresponding to oxygen fugacities (fO2) between 3.2 and 7.8 log units above the nickel–nickel oxide redox buffer (NNO). 1-atm experiments conducted from NNO ? 2.5 to + 3.8 show that increasing fO2 mainly increases the forsterite content (Fo) of olivine and has little effect on phase relations. The crystallisation sequence at lower crustal pressures for all water contents is forsteritic olivine + Cr-rich spinel followed by clinopyroxene. The anhydrous liquidus is depressed by 100 and 120 °C in the presence of 2.9 and 3.8 wt % H2O, respectively. H2O-undersaturated experiments at NNO + 3.2 to + 4.5 produce olivine of equivalent composition to the most primitive olivine phenocrysts in Grenadan picrites (Fo91.4). We conclude that direct mantle melts originating beneath Grenada could be as oxidised as ~NNO + 3, consistent with the uppermost estimates from olivine–spinel oxybarometry of high Mg basalts. μXANES analyses of olivine-bearing experimental glasses are used to develop a semi-empirical oxybarometer based on the value of \({{K}_{D}}_{\rm ol-melt}^{\rm Fe-Mg}\) when all Fe is assumed to be in the Fe2+ state (\({K}_{D}^{{\rm Fe}_T}\)). The oxybarometer is tested on an independent data set and is able to reproduce experimental fO2 to ≤1.2 log units. Experiments also show that the geochemically and petrographically distinct M- and C-series lavas on the island can be produced from hydrous melting of a common picritic source. Low pressures expand the olivine stability field at the expense of clinopyroxene, enriching an evolving melt in CaO and forcing differentiation to take place along a C-series liquid line of descent. Higher pressure conditions allow early and abundant clinopyroxene crystallisation, rapidly depleting the melt in both CaO and MgO, and thus creating the M-series. 相似文献

Summary Olivine leucitites from the Gaussberg volcano, Antarctica are primitive members of the lamproite group of ultrapotassic rocks. They are glass rich, have an Mg number of around 70, and carry spinel lherzolite xenoliths. Liquidus phase fields and compositions were studied experimentally at atmospheric pressure with controlled oxygen fugacities. Chrome-spinels occur as inclusions in olivines in the natural rock, but it was necessary to add Cr2O3 to the experiments to stabilize spinels at the liquidus, indicating that some fractionation of spinel has almost certainly occurred.Experimental results show thatfO2 conditions of crystallization can be characterized by ferric value (100 Fe3+/(Fe3++Fe2+)) of spinel, ferric iron content of leucite, and Mg-number (100 Mg/(Mg+Fe2+)) of olivine. The results demonstrate that the liquidus phases of the Gaussberg rocks crystallized atfO2 slightly below that of the NNO buffer. Application of the results to other lamproites indicates that they began to crystallize at oxygen fugacities varying from well above NNO (Leucite Hills) to around MW (West Kimberley and the Spanish fortunites). The Gaussberg olivine leucitite contains leucite cores poor in ferric iron with rims richer in ferric iron, indicating oxidation during emplacement. The ferric value of spinel is very sensitive to changes in oxygen fugacity and recognizing that some lamproitic magmas are known to contain diamonds, it may prove to be useful as a diamond survival indicator. The preservation of diamonds in lamproitic rocks will depend critically onfO2: diamonds are not likely to be preserved in rocks which reach the surface as liquids atfO2 near NNO or above.

Der Oxidationsgrad lamproitischer Magmen
Zusammenfassung Die Olivin-Leuzitite vom Gaussberg Vulkan, Antarktis, gehören zu den primären Gliedern der Lamproit-Gruppe der ultra-kalireichen Gesteine. Sie sind reich an Glas, weisen Mg-Werte um 70 auf, und führen Spinell-Lherzolith Xenolithe. Die Liquidus-Phasengleichgewichte bei Atmosphärendruck unter kontrollierten Sauerstoff-Partialdruckbedingungen wurden untersucht. Um Chromit als Liquidusphase zu stabilisieren, war es erforderlich, Cr2O3 zu den experimentellen Zusammensetzungen hinzuzufügen, obwohl Chromspinell als Einschluß in Olivin in den Ausgangsgesteinen auftritt; dies deutet eine Spinell-Franktionierung an.Die Resultate zeigten, daß diefO2-Bedingungen bei der Kristallisation durch das Fe3+-Verhältnis (100 Fe3+/(Fe3++Fe2+)) im Spinell, durch den Fe3+-Gehalt im Leuzit, und durch den Mg-Wert (100 mg/(Mg+Fe2+)) im Olivin charakterisiert sind. Die Liquidusphasen der Gaussberg Gesteine kristallisierten beifO2-Bedingungen etwas unterhalb NNO. Die Anwendung der Resultate auf andere Lamproite zeigt, daß diese unter Sauerstoff-Partialdruckbedingungen kristallisierten, die von oberhalb NNO (Leucite Hills) bis etwa MW (West Kimberley und die Spanish Fortunites) variierten. Der Gaussberg Olivin-Leuzitit enthält Leuzitkristalle mit deutlicher Zonierung; die Kernbereiche sind arm an dreiwertigem Eisen, während die Randzonen deutlich an Fe3+ angereichert sind. Dies weist auf eine Oxidation des Magmas während der Platznahme hin. Das Fe3+-Verhältnis der Spinelle ist sehr empfindlich gegenüber Änderungen des Sauerstoff-Partialdruckes; da einige lamproitische Magmen Diamanten führen, könnte sich dieses als ein sinnvoller Indikator für eine mögliche Diamantführung erweisen. Die Überlebensfähigkeit von Diamanten in lamproitischen Gesteinen wird sehr stark abhängig sein vonfO2: Magmen, die die Oberfläche unterfO2-Bedingungen entsprechend NNO oder darüber erreichten, werden keine Diamanten mehr erhalten.

Phase relations of a phonolite (K1) and a tephri-phonolite (K2) from the Upper Miocene lavas in the Southeast Province of the Kerguelen Archipelago have been investigated in the P/T range 100–500 MPa and 700–900 °C at two fO2 conditions (~ NNO and ~ NNO+2.3) to clarify the differentiation and pre-eruptive conditions of these magmas. Crystallization experiments were performed in cold seal pressure vessels (CSPV) and internally heated pressure vessels (IHPV) at various XH2O, under reducing (log fO2 ~ NNO) and oxidizing conditions (log fO2 ~ NNO+2.3). Under reducing conditions, the resulting phase assemblage for K1 was: titanomagnetite, nepheline, alkali feldspar, clinopyroxene and biotite; under oxidizing conditions, the assemblage was: magnetite, plagioclase, alkali feldspar, nepheline, titanite (minerals given in the order of appearance with decreasing T at 200 MPa for 4 wt% water in the melt). It is emphasized that an effect of fO2 on the phase stability of feldspars and feldspathoides was observed. Comparison of the natural and experimental phase assemblages shows that the pre-eruptive conditions for K1 must have been in the log fO2 range NNO+1–NNO+2, at pressures above 200–250 MPa. Assuming a temperature of 800 °C, the water content of the melt is constrained to be between 4 and 6 wt% H2O. The pre-eruptive fO2 conditions for the less evolved sample K2 are more oxidizing with log fO2 close to NNO+2.3. The experimental results show that the enrichment of alkalis in residual melts during differentiation of tephri-phonolites is enhanced at high fO2.Editorial responsibility: J. Hoefs 相似文献

The Wajilitag igneous complex is part of the early Permian Tarim large igneous province in NW China, and is composed of a layered mafic–ultramafic intrusion and associated syenitic plutons. In order to better constrain its origin, and the conditions of associated Fe–Ti oxide mineralization, we carried out an integrated study of mineralogical, geochemical and Sr–Nd–Hf isotopic analyses on selected samples. The Wajilitag igneous rocks have an OIB-like compositional affinity, similar to the coeval mafic dykes in the Bachu region. The layered intrusion consists of olivine clinopyroxenite, coarse-grained clinopyroxenite, fine-grained clinopyroxenite and gabbro from the base upwards. Fe–Ti oxide ores are mainly hosted in fine-grained clinopyroxenite. Forsterite contents in olivines from the olivine clinopyroxenite range from 71 to 76 mol%, indicating crystallization from an evolved magma. Reconstructed composition of the parental magma of the layered intrusion is Fe–Ti-rich, similar to that of the Bachu mafic dykes. Syenite and quartz syenite plutons have εNd(t) values ranging from +1.4 to +2.9, identical to that for the layered intrusion. They may have formed by differentiation of underplated magmas at depth and subsequent fractional crystallization. Magnetites enclosed in olivines and clinopyroxenes have Cr2O3 contents higher than those interstitial to silicates in the layered intrusion. This suggests that the Cr-rich magnetite is an early crystallized phase, whereas interstitial magnetite may have accumulated from evolved Fe–Ti-rich melts that percolated through a crystal mush. Low V content in Cr-poor magnetite (<6600 ppm) is consistent with an estimate of oxygen fugacity of FMQ + 1.1 to FMQ + 3.5. We propose that accumulation of Fe–Ti oxides during the late stage of magmatic differentiation may have followed crystallization of Fe–Ti-melt under high fO2 and a volatile-rich condition. 相似文献

The magmatic processes leading to porphyry-Cu mineralizationat Santa Rita are reconstructed on the basis of petrographicstudies, thermobarometry, and laser-ablation inductively-coupled-plasmamass-spectrometry analyses of silicate melt and sulfide inclusionsfrom dikes ranging from basaltic andesite to rhyodacite. Combinedresults suggest that magma evolution at Santa Rita is similarto that of sulfur-rich volcanoes situated above subduction zones,being characterized by repeated injection of hot, mafic magmainto an anhydrite-bearing magma chamber of rhyodacitic composition.The most mafic end-member identified at Santa Rita is a shoshoniticbasaltic andesite that crystallized at 1000–1050°C,1–3 kbar and log fO2 = NNO + 0·7 to NNO + 1·0,whereas the rhyodacite crystallized at 730–760°C andlog fO2 = NNO + 1·3 to NNO + 1·9. Mixing betweenthe two magmas caused precipitation of 0·1–0·2wt % magmatic sulfides and an associated decrease in the Cucontent of the silicate melt from 300–500 ppm to lessthan 20 ppm. Quantitative modeling suggests that temporal storageof ore-metals in magmatic sulfides does not significantly enhancethe amount of copper ultimately available to ore-forming hydrothermalfluids. Magmatic sulfides are therefore not vital to the formationof porphyry-Cu deposits, unless a mechanism is required thatholds back ore-forming metals until late in the evolution ofthe volcanic–plutonic system.

The possible origin of the Moon’s metallic core at the precipitation of iron–sulfide phases during the partial melting of ultramafic material under various redox conditions was experimentally modeled by partially melting the model system olivine (85 wt %) + ferrobasalt (10 wt %) + metallic phase Fe95S5 (wt %) in a high-temperature centrifuge at 1430–1450°C. The oxygen fugacity fO2 was determined from the composition of the quenched experimental silicate melts (glasses). A decrease in fO2 is proved to be favorable for the segregation of iron–sulfide melt from the silicate matrix. The metallic phase is most effectively segregated in the form of melt droplets, and these droplets are accumulated in the lower portions of the samples under strongly reduced conditions, at fO2 ～ 4.5–5.5 orders of magnitude lower than the iron–wüstite buffer. 相似文献

The influence of oxygen fugacity (fO2) and temperature on the valence and structural state of iron was experimentally studied in glasses quenched from natural aluminosilicate melts of granite and pantellerite compositions exposed to various T-fO2 conditions (1100–1420°C and 10?12–10?0.68 bar) at a total pressure of 1 atm. The quenched glasses were investigated by Mössbauer spectroscopy. It was shown that the effect of oxygen fugacity on the redox state of iron at 1320–1420°C can be described by the equation log(Fe3+/Fe2+) = k log(fO2) + q, where k and q are constants depending on melt composition and temperature. The Fe3+/Fe2+ ratio decreases with decreasing fO2 (T = const) and increasing temperature (fO2 = const). The structural state of Fe3+ depends on the degree of iron oxidation. With increasing Fe3+/Fe2+ ≥ 1, the dominant coordination of Fe3+ changes from octahedral to tetrahedral. Ferrous iron ions occur in octahedral (and/or five-coordinated) sites independent of Fe3+/Fe2+. 相似文献

Testing the Ballhaus–Berry–Green Ol–Opx–Sp oxybarometer (BBG) on independent experimental data indicates that it overestimates the oxygen fugacity by 0.6–1.3 log units under mildly reduced conditions (near the C–CO buffer) and by as much as 2–3 log units under reduced conditions (at the IW buffer and below it). A newly developed oxibarometer is suggested to minimize this effect and enhance the capabilities of redoxometry of low-pressure mineral associations, including magmatic melts undersaturated with respect to orthopyroxene (Opx). The new empirical equation of the oxybarometer is applicable to a wide range of mafic–ultramafic magmas of normal alkalinity, including terrestrial, lunar, and meteoritic systems under pressures of 0.001–25 kbar and oxygen fugacity ranging from IW–3 to NNO + 1. The derived regression fits the ΔQFM values of the calibration dataset (154 experiments) accurate to ~0.5 log units. The new oxybarometer eliminates systematic errors when redox parameters are evaluated for the reduced region (from IW–3 to C–CO) and for crystallization of magmas without Opx on the liquidus. The efficiency of the suggested model is demonstrated by its application to natural rocks: (1) low-Ti lunar basalts, (2) tholeiites from the Shatsky Rise, (3) Siberian flood basalts, (4) rocks of the layered series of the Yoko-Dovyren intrusion, and (5) mantle xenoliths collected in southern Siberia, Mongolia, China, and the southern Russian Far East. The values yielded by such oxybarometers for intrusive rocks, which underwent long-lasting cooling and postcumulus reequilibration, should be regarded with reserve. 相似文献

The Xinjie mafic-ultramafic layered intrusion in the Emeishan large igneous province (ELIP) hosts Cu-Ni-platinum group element (PGE) sulfide ore layers within the lower part and Fe-Ti-V oxide-bearing horizons within the middle part. The major magmatic Cu-Ni-PGE sulfide ores and spatially associated cumulate rocks are examined for their PGE contents and Re-Os isotopic systematics. The samples yielded a Re-Os isochron with an age of 262 ± 27 Ma and an initial 187Os/188Os of 0.12460 ± 0.00011 (γOs(t) = −0.5 ± 0.1). The age is in good agreement with the previously reported U-Pb zircon age, indicating that the Re-Os system remained closed for most samples since the intrusion emplacement. They have near-chondritic γOs(t) values ranging from −0.7 to −0.2, similar to those of the Lijiang picrites and Song Da komatiites. Exceptionally, two samples from the roof zone and one from upper sequence exhibit radiogenic γOs(t) values (+0.6 to +8.6), showing minor contamination by the overlying Emeishan basalts.The PGE-rich ores contain relatively high PGE and small amounts of sulfides (generally less than 2%) and the abundance of Cu and PGE correlate well with S, implying that the distribution of these elements is controlled by the segregation and accumulation of a sulfide liquid. Some ore samples are poor in S (mostly <800 ppm), which may due to late-stage S loss caused by the dissolution of FeS from pre-existing sulfides through their interaction with sulfide-unsaturated flowing magma. The combined study shows that the Xinjie intrusion may be derived from ferropicritic magmas. The sharp reversals in Mg#, Cr/FeOT and Cr/TiO2 ratios immediately below Units 2-4, together with high Cu/Zr ratios decreasing from each PGE ore layer within these cyclic units, are consistent with multiple magma replenishment episodes. The sulfides in the cumulate rocks show little evidence of PGE depletion with height and thus appear to have segregated from successive inputs of fertile magma. This suggests that the Xinjie intrusion crystallized from in an open magma system, e.g., a magma conduit. The compositions of the disseminated sulfides in most samples can be modeled by applying an R factor (silicate-sulfide mass ratio) of between 1000 and 8000, indicating the segregation of only small amounts of sulfide liquid in the parental ferropicritic magmas. Thus, continuous mixing between primitive ferropicritic magma and differentiated resident magma could lead to crystallization of chromite, Cr-bearing magnetite and subsequently abundant Fe-Ti oxides, thereby the segregation of PGE-rich Cu-sulfide.When considered in the light of previous studies on plume-derived komatiites and picrites worldwide, the close-to-chondritic Os isotopic composition for most Xinjie samples, Lijiang picrites and Song Da komatiites suggest that the ferropicritic magma in the ELIP were generated from a plume. This comprised recycled Neoproterozic oceanic lithosphere, including depleted peridotite mantle embedded with geochemically enriched domains. The ascending magmas thereafter interacted with minor (possibly <10%) subducted/altered oceanic crust. This comparison suggests that the komatiitic melts in the ELIP originated from a greater-than normal degree of melting of incompatible trace element depleted, refractory mantle components in the plume source. 相似文献

It has long been recognized that magmatic fluids exsolved from the arc-like submarine magmas of immature back-arc basins can directly contribute metals such as Cu and Au to seafloor hydrothermal systems. The extent of this magmatic contribution, however, varies from basin to basin. In order to explain this variation, we make a comparative study of the behavior of Cu during magma differentiation in two immature back-arc ridges: Eastern Ridge (ER) of the Manus Basin and Valu Fa Ridge (VFR) of the Lau Basin. We investigate some of the factors that affect Cu behavior, including oxygen fugacity (fO2), water content, and crystallization pressure, by means of a geochemical model. Cu abundances show a continuous decreasing trend with magma evolution in the VFR lavas, whereas in the ER lavas Cu increases during the early stage of magma evolution, followed by a rapid decrease. The contrasting Cu behavior for the two lava suites is controlled on the first order by the fO2 of their primary magmas. The fO2 values of the primary ER magmas were modeled to be FMQ + 1.2 to FMQ + 1.8, which is sufficiently high to avoid the early sulfide saturation that typically accompanies Cu removal. By comparison, the fO2 values of the primary VFR magmas range from FMQ to FMQ + 1, falling within the range of mid-ocean ridge basalts. We attribute this difference in fO2 values between the primary ER and VFR magmas to variable input of sediment melt to their mantle sources. In addition, we show for the first time that Cu content does not increase significantly until the onset of plagioclase crystallization. This finding suggests that both high water contents and high pressure, which suppress plagioclase crystallization, are unfavorable for Cu enrichment in evolved oxidized magmas. We argue that back-arc ridges that develop shallow submarine magma chambers and have a large input of subducted sediment, have a strong potential to support ore-bearing magmatic–hydrothermal systems. 相似文献

In order to assess the geothermometric potential of the Na2(Mn2−2x
Fe1+2x
)(PO4)3 system (x = 0–1), which represents the compositions of natural weakly oxidized alluaudites, we performed hydrothermal experiments between 400 and 800°C, at 1 kbar, under an oxygen fugacity (f(O2)) controlled by the Ni–NiO (NNO), Fe2O3–Fe3O4 (HM), Cu2O–CuO (CT), and Fe–Fe3O4 (MI) buffers. When f(O2) is controlled by NNO, single-phase alluaudites crystallize at 400 and 500°C, whereas the association alluaudite + marićite appears between 500 and 700°C. The limit between these two fields corresponds to the maximum temperature that can be reached by alluaudites in granitic pegmatites, because marićite has never been observed in these geological environments. Because alluaudites are very sensitive to variations of oxygen fugacity, the field of hagendorfite, Na2MnFe2+Fe3+(PO4)3, has been positioned in the f(O2)–T diagram, and provides a tool that can be used to estimate the oxygen fugacity conditions that prevailed in granitic pegmatites during the crystallization of this phosphate. 相似文献

Mafic rocks at Lake Nipigon provide a record of rift-related continental basaltic magmatism during the Keweenawan event at 1109 Ma. The mafic rocks consist of an early, volumetrically minor suite of picritic intrusions varying in composition from olivine gabbro to peridotite and a later suite of tholeiitic diabase dikes, sheets and sills. The diabase occurs primarily as two 150 to 200 m thick sills with a textural stratigraphy indicating that the sills represent single cooling units. Compositional variation in the sills indicates that they crystallized from several magma pulses.The diabases are similar in chemistry to olivine tholeiite flood basalts of the adjacent Keweenawan rift, particularly with respect to low TiO2, K2O and P2O5. The picrites have higher TiO2, K2O and P2O5 than the diabases and are similar to, but more primitive than, high Fe-Ti basalts which erupted early in the Keweenawan volcanic sequence.All of the rocks crystallized from fractionated liquids. The picrites are cumulate rocks derived at shallow crustal depths from a magma controlled predominantly by olivine fractionation. Picritic chills are in equilibrium with olivine phenocrysts of composition Fo80 and are interpreted to represent the least evolved liquids observed. The parental magma of the picrites was probably Fe rich relative to the parental magma of the diabase. The diabase sills crystallized from an evolved basaltic liquid controlled by cotectic crystallization of plagioclase and lesser olivine and pyroxene.The emplacement of dense olivine phyric picritic magmas early in the sequence, followed by later voluminous compositionally evolved magmas of lower density suggests the development of a crustal density filter effect as the igneous event reached a peak. Delamination of the crust-mantle interface may have resulted in the transition from olivine controlled primitive magma to fractionated magma through the development of crustal underplating. 相似文献

The Limahe Ni–Cu sulfide deposit is hosted by a small mafic–ultramafic intrusion (800 × 200 × 300 m) that is temporally associated
with the voluminous Permian flood basalts in SW China. The objective of this study is to better understand the origin of the
deposit in the context of regional magmatism which is important for the ongoing mineral exploration in the region. The Limahe
intrusion is a multiphase intrusion with an ultramafic unit at the base and a mafic unit at the top. The two rock units have
intrusive contacts and exhibit similar mantle-normalized trace element patterns and Sr–Nd isotopic compositions but significantly
different cumulus mineralogy and major element compositions. The similarities suggest that they are related to a common parental
liquid, whereas the differences point to magma differentiation by olivine crystallization at depth. Sulfide mineralization
is restricted to the ultramafic unit. The abundances of sulfides in the ultramafic unit generally increase towards the basal
contacts with sedimentary footwall. The δ
34S values of sulfide minerals from the Limahe deposit are elevated, ranging from +2.4 to +5.4‰. These values suggest the involvement
of external S with elevated δ
34S values. The mantle-normalized platinum-group element (PGE) patterns of bulk sulfide ores are similar to those of picrites
associated with flood basalts in the region. The abundances of PGE in the sulfide ores, however, are significantly lower than
that of sulfide liquid expected to segregate from undepleted picrite magma. Cr-spinel and olivine are present in the Limahe
ultramafic rocks as well as in the picrites. Mantle-normalized trace element patterns of the Limahe intrusion generally resemble
those of the picrites. However, negative Nb–Ta anomalies, common features of contamination with the lower or middle crust,
are present in the intrusion but absent in the picrites. Sr–Nd isotopes suggest that the Limahe intrusion experienced higher
degrees of contamination with the upper crust than did the picrites. The results of this study permit us to suggest that the
parental magma of the Limahe intrusion was derived from picritic magma by olivine fractionation and contamination in a staging
chamber at mid-crustal levels. Depletion of PGE in the sulfide ores in the Limahe intrusion is likely due to previous sulfide
segregation of the parental magmas in the staging chamber. Sulfide mineralization in the Limahe intrusion is related to second-stage
sulfide segregation after the fractionated magmas acquired external S from pyrite-bearing country rocks during magma ascent
to the Limahe chamber. The abrupt change in mineralogical and chemical compositions between the ultramafic unit and the overlying
unit suggests that at least two separate pulses of magma were involved in the development of the Limahe intrusion. We propose
that the Limahe intrusion was once a wider part of a dynamic conduit that fed magma to the overlying subvolcanic dykes/sills
or lavas. The ultramafic unit formed by the first, relatively more primitive magma, and the mafic unit formed by the second,
relatively more fractionated magma. Immiscible sulfide droplets that segregated from the first magma settled down with olivine
crystals to form the sulfide-bearing, olivine-rich rocks in the base of the intrusion. The overlying residual liquids were
then pushed out of the chamber by the second magma. Critical factors for the formation of an economic Ni–Cu sulfide deposit
in such a small intrusion include the dynamic petrologic processes involved and the availability of external sulfur. The Limahe
deposit reminds us that small, multiphase, mafic–ultramafic intrusions in the region should not be overlooked for the potential
of economic Ni–Cu sulfide deposits. 相似文献

The Jianchaling nickel deposit in the Bikou Terrane (Shaanxi Province, China) occurs along the boundaries between granite porphyry and carbonated ultramafic rocks (carbonated serpentinite, talc–carbonate rocks, and listwaenite). Serpentine– magnetite, serpentine– magnesite– magnetite, and magnesite– talc– quartz– pyrite– violarite– millerite– chalcopyrite assemblage formed in carbonated ultramafic rocks during hydrothermal activities. Ni-bearing sulphides, coexisting with magnesite, postdated magnetite in carbonated ultramafic rocks. Compared with serpentinite, Ni, Co, Cu, Mn, and Pb concentrate in talc–carbonate rocks. The fact that the NiO contents of magnetite decrease with progressive carbonation of serpentinite suggests that Ni from magnetite concentrated in fluid and contributed to the formation of the Jianchaling nickel deposit. Sulphides precipitated from fluid with log fO2 value varying from −34.5 to −31.8 and log fS2 value varying from −10.3 to −9.2. High pH and HS− activities triggered by transformation of serpentine into magnesite–talc–quartz assemblage promoted precipitation of Ni-bearing sulphides, and finally formed the Jianchaling hydrothermal nickel deposit. 相似文献
