The H2O contents and trace-element abundances are presentedfor two well-studied suites of mid-ocean ridge basalt (MORB)glasses from the Northern East Pacific Rise (EPR, 9–11°N)and the South East Indian Ridge (SEIR, 127–129°E).Exactly the same region of the glass samples has been analysedfor these components using microbeam techniques. Our data allowexamination of the fine details of H2O geochemical behaviourduring MORB genesis. We demonstrate that relative H2O contents[i.e. H2O/(another incompatible element)] vary systematicallywith increasing (La/Sm)N in MORB glasses from both the EPR andSEIR. This indicates that H2O behaves like other incompatible(in peridotite mineralogies) elements during MORB petrogenesis,and is primarily controlled by solid–melt partitioning.However, the relative H2O contents of MORB glasses from theSEIR are higher than in glasses from the EPR at a given (La/Sm)N,demonstrating global variations in the H2O contents of MORB.Despite regional differences in relative H2O contents, the incompatiblebehaviour of H2O is similar in both studied regions. The relativeincompatibility of H2O varies systematically with increasing(La/Sm)N: in depleted MORB, H2O is similar to La whereas inEMORB, H2O is similar to Ce. Similar patterns of varying relativeincompatibility (to REE) are displayed by Zr, Hf, and P. Ourdata are best explained if H2O is stored in the mantle in thesame phase with LREE (clinopyroxene?) at sub-solidus. Regionalvariations in relative H2O contents in EMORB that have moreradiogenic Sr, Nd and Pb isotopes might be explained by differencesin the nature of enriched components recycled via subductionprocesses. However, when EMORB have the same radiogenic isotopecompositions as NMORB within a segment, relative H2O contentsin EMORB probably reflect local processes that lead to enrichmentin incompatible elements. Regional differences in relative H2Ocontents of NMORB may reflect either initial variations in theEarth’s mantle or inhomogeneities left after formationof the continental crust.

Equilibrium H2O pressure (PeH2O) was fixed at values less thantotal pressure (PT) in melting experiments on mixtures of 1921Kilauea tholeiite, H2O, and CO2 (58.5 mole per cent H2O, 41.5mole per cent CO2), buffered by Ni+NiO. New determinations ofthe beginning of melting of mixtures of 1921 Kilauea tholeiiteand H2O buffered by quartz+fayalite+magnetite were made at 2and 3 kb. Microprobe analyses of coexisting glass, clinopyroxene,?olivine, ?amphibole were determined for several runs. Decreasing H2O fugacity (fH2O) to about six-tenths the fugacityof pure H2O (f?II2O) raises the solidus and the upper stabilitylimit of plagioclase. Plagioclase and clinopyroxene coexistin equilibrium with liquid-a feature not observed in the pureH2O system. Amphibole is stable to about 970 ?C at 2 kb, 1025?C at 5 kb and 1060 ?C at 8 kb. The Al (VI)+Ti contents of theamphibole increase with P, yielding kaersutite at 1050 ?C and8 kb. Calculated modes for the condensed phases reveal large differencesin the amount of glass (liquid) present and large differencesin liquid composition below and above the breakdown temperatureof amphibole at 5 and 8 kb. Liquids coexisting with amphibole,clinopyroxene, olivine, and magnetite are dacitic near the solidusand silica-rich andesites around 1000 ?C at 5 and 8 kb. Theresults of this study substantiate the model for the generationof the calc-alkaline suite by partial melting of H2O-rich basalts.  相似文献

Experiments defining the distribution of H2O [Dw = wt % H2O(melt)/wt% H2O(crd)]) between granitic melt and coexisting cordieriteover a range of melt H2O contents from saturated (i.e. coexistingcordierite + melt + vapour) to highly undersaturated (cordierite+ melt) have been conducted at 3–7 kbar and 800–1000°C.H2O contents in cordierites and granitic melts were determinedusing secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS). For H2O vapour-saturatedconditions Dw ranges from 4·3 to 7 and increases withrising temperature. When the system is volatile undersaturatedDw decreases to minimum values of 2·6–5·0at moderate to low cordierite H2O contents (0·6–1·1wt %). At very low aH2O, cordierite contains less than 0·2–0·3wt % H2O and Dw increases sharply. The Dw results are consistentwith melt H2O solubility models in which aH2O is proportionalto Xw2 (where Xw is the mole fraction of H2O in eight-oxygenunit melt) at Xw  相似文献

Phase Relations of Peralkaline Silicic Magmas and Petrogenetic Implications   总被引：16，自引：5，他引：16  
The phase relationships of three peralkaline rhyolites fromthe Kenya Rift have been established at 150 and 50 MPa, at oxygenfugacities of NNO - 1·6 and NNO + 3·6 (log fO2relative to the Ni–NiO solid buffer), between 800 and660°C and for melt H2O contents ranging between saturationand nominally anhydrous. The stability fields of fayalite, sodicamphiboles, chevkinite and fluorite in natural hydrous silicicmagmas are established. Additional phases include quartz, alkalifeldspar, ferrohedenbergite, biotite, aegirine, titanite, montdoriteand oxides. Ferrohedenbergite crystallization is restrictedto the least peralkaline rock, together with fayalite; it isreplaced at low melt water contents by ferrorichterite. Riebeckite–arfvedsoniteappears only in the more peralkaline rocks, at temperaturesbelow 750°C (dry) and below 670°C at H2O saturation.Under oxidizing conditions, it breaks down to aegirine. In themore peralkaline rocks, biotite is restricted to temperaturesbelow 700°C and conditions close to H2O saturation. At 50MPa, the tectosilicate liquidus temperatures are raised by 50–60°C,and that of amphibole by 30°C. Riebeckite–arfvedsonitestability extends down nearly to atmospheric pressure, as aresult of its F-rich character. The solidi of all three rocksare depressed by 40–100°C compared with the solidusof the metaluminous granite system, as a result of the abundanceof F and Cl. Low fO2 lowers solidus temperatures by at least30°C. Comparison with studies of metaluminous and peraluminousfelsic magmas shows that plagioclase crystallization is suppressedas soon as the melt becomes peralkaline, whatever its CaO orvolatile contents. In contrast, at 100 MPa and H2O saturation,the liquidus temperatures of quartz and alkali feldspar arenot significantly affected by changes in rock peralkalinity,showing that the incorporation of water in peralkaline meltsdiminishes the depression of liquidus temperatures in dry peralkalinesilicic melts compared with dry metaluminous or peraluminousvarieties. At 150 MPa, pre-eruptive melt H2O contents rangefrom 4 wt % in the least peralkaline rock to nearly 6 wt % inthe two more peralkaline compositions, in broad agreement withprevious melt inclusion data. The experimental results implymagmatic fO2 at or below the fayalite–quartz–magnetitesolid buffer, temperatures between 740 and 660°C, and meltevolution under near H2O saturation conditions.

Submarine pillow basalts (34 Ma) recovered from the NorthernKerguelen Plateau at ODP Site 1140 contain abundant unalteredglass, providing the first opportunity to measure the volatilecontents of tholeiitic basaltic magmas related to the Kerguelenmantle plume. The glasses have La/Sm and Nb/Zr ratios that varyfrom values similar to Southeast Indian Ridge (SEIR) MORB (Unit1), to slightly more enriched (Unit 6), to values transitionalbetween SEIR MORB and basaltic magmas formed by melting of theKerguelen plume (Units 2 and 3). Volatile contents for glassesin Units 1 and 6 are similar to depleted mid-ocean ridge basalt(MORB) values (0·25–0·27 wt % H2O, 1240–1450ppm S, 42–54 ppm Cl). In contrast, H2O contents are higherfor the enriched glasses (Unit 2, 0·44 wt % H2O; Unit3, 0·69 wt %), as are S (1500 ppm) and Cl (146–206ppm). Cl/K ratios for all glasses are relatively low (0·03–0·04),indicating that assimilation of hydrothermally altered materialdid not occur during shallow-level crystallization. H2O/Ce forthe enriched glasses (Units 2 and 3) is significantly lowerthan Pacific and South Atlantic MORB values, suggesting thatlow H2O/Ce may be an inherent characteristic of the Kerguelenplume source. Vapor saturation pressures calculated using theH2O and CO2 contents of the glasses indicate that  相似文献

Experimental Crystallization of Leucogranite Magmas   总被引：25，自引：8，他引：17  
Both crystallization and melting experiments have been carriedout on two natural, biotite-muscovite (DK) and tourmaline-muscovite(GB) High Himalayan leucogranites (HHL) at 4 kbar, logfO2 =FMQ–05, aH2O = 1–0•03, and at five temperaturesbetween 803 and 663C H2O contents of the quenched glasses wereanalysed by ion microprobe. Plagioclase and biotite are theliquidus phases for reduced melt H2O contents and H2O-rich conditions,respectively. H2O saturation limits range from 8 to 10 wt%.DK has a wider crystallization interval than GB (150 vs 80Cfor conditions close to H2O saturation), and a slightly higherH2O-saturated solidus (645 compared with 630C for GB). Tourmalinenever crystallized spontaneously from the melt. Tourmaline seedsalways reacted out to biotite in the biotite-muscovite sample,whereas they remained stable in the tourmaline-muscovite sample.Biotite is replaced by hercynite as the main ferromagnesianphase at high temperature and reduced aH2O. Muscovite crystallizationis restricted to near-solidus conditions. The compositions ofplagioclase, alkali feldspar, biotite and muscovite are givenas a function of bulk composition, temperature and aH2O. Glasscompositions are richer in normative quartz than the 4 kbarH2O-saturated Qz–Ab–Or eutectic, and become moreperaluminous and less mafic with increasing fractionation. Biotitecrystallization in peraluminous liquids is favoured by elevatedFe, Mg and Ti contents. Muscovite crystallization is not promotedunder H2O-saturated conditions. Tourmaline stability is stronglydependent on aH2O. For GB, tourmaline is present at elevatedtemperatures for intermediate values of aH2O (803 C, 0–7),but not above 650C for H2O-saturated conditions. Comparisonof the natural crystallization sequence with experiments suggestsinitial water contents between 5 and 75 wt % for the DK magma,and > 7 wt% for the GB magma. Plagioclase core compositionsgive minimum temperatures of 700C for GB and 750C for DK,consistent with an emplacement of these HHL as almost entirelyliquid bodies. The restricted occurrence of biotite in the GBgranite suggests that it reacted out during the magmatic evolution,owing to a marked change in fO2 toward more oxidizing conditions.Tourmaline leucogranites can be generated from biotite leucogranitesby fractional crystallization under conditions of increasingdegree of oxidation.

We report here a detailed mineralogical, geochemical, and experimentalstudy of a high-Ca boninite suite from the northern terminationof the Tonga trench. Most samples are strongly olivine porphyriticand show a significant range of phenocryst compositions includinga very refractory olivine-spinel assemblage Fo94–CrN =87. They are also characterized by a wide range of incompatible-elementcontents, e.g., (La/Yb)N varies from 0.5 to 16, whereas compatiblemajor-element concentrations (Al2O3, FeO, CaO, SiO2, and MgO)remain essentially the same. Primary melt compositions for thesuite were established on the basis of an experimental studyof melt inclusions in phenocrysts and numerical modelling ofthe reverse of fractional crystallization. Tongan primary meltsare characterized by high MgO contents (22–24 wt.%) andoriginated in the mantle wedge at pressures of 20–25 kbarand temperatures of 1450–1550 C. H2O contents in primarymelts were estimated from direct measurements of melt inclusionsby ion probe, and range from 2.0 to 1.0 wt.%, and a strong correlationexists between H2O and other incompatible element contents.The primary melts crystallized in the presence of an H2O-richfluid in the temperature range 1390–1150 C and pressuresof 1.7–0.15 kbar. Continuous degassing of melts took placeduring crystallization. Trace-element concentrations in primarymelts were estimated using proton- and ion-probe analyses ofmelt inclusions in olivine, and whole-rock analyses. Our datasuggest that three independent components (D, E1, and E2) wereinvolved. Component D was a refractory mantle depleted in incompatibleelements, likely to be hot ‘dry’ Iherzolite producedby previous melting within a mantle plume. Component E1 wasan H2O-rich fluid containing LILE and Th, and had an H2O/K2Ovalue of 20; it was probably produced by dehydration of thesubducted slab. Component E2 is thought to have been an incompatible-element-enrichedsilicate melt of plume origin. Formation of high-Ca boninitesrequires interaction of hot ‘dry’ residual mantle,associated with plumes, with a subduction-related H2O-bearingcomponent.  相似文献

Forty-seven specimens of the Wabush Iron Formation were collectedfrom ten outcrop areas. Twenty-five specimens contain the assemblage(1), quartz+clinopyroxene+calcite with or without orthopyroxene,grunerite, magnetite, ankerite, and siderite. Five specimenscontain assemblage (2), quartz+clinopyroxene+actinolite+calcite+magnetite+hematite,and two contain assemblage (3), quartz+orthopyroxene+actinolite+magnetite+hematite.In three specimens of assemblage (1), graphite occurs in theabsence of magnetite; pyrrhotite and pyrite occur separatelyor together in specimens with assemblage (1). Thirty-nine clinopyroxenes, 38 orthopyroxenes, 18 grunerites,7 actinolites, 16 calcites, 1 ankerite, and 1 siderite wereanalyzed for iron, manganese, and calcium by X-ray emissionspectrography. Magnesium contents were estimated by assumingstoichiometric proportions. Minerals occurring with hematite show low Fe/(Fe+Mg) ratios,and those in the other assemblages show higher values with awide range of variation. In orthopyroxene, Fe/(Fe+ Mg) rangesfrom 0·17 (with hematite) to 0·77. Regularity in the distributions of Fe, Mn, and Ca between pairsof coexisting minerals shows that equilibrium was attained inmost of the rocks studied. This regularity is also accomplishedin the distribution of Mn between calcite and coexisting silicatesas well as between the silicates themselves. Small differencesin the distributions of Ca and Fe depend on both outcrop areaand mineral assemblage. Phase rule considerations suggest that the specimens with dolomite-ankeriteor magnesitesiderite do not represent equilibrium assemblages.Variations in orthopyroxene compositions in assemblages withpyrite or pyrrhotite, or both, and magnetite indicate non-equilibrationof sulfides with silicates. The presence of the oxygen buffer,magnetite+hematite, attests to the immobility of oxygen duringmetamorphism. Within each outcrop area, over which the temperature and pressureare assumed to have been uniform, variations in the compositionsof the silicates in the sub-assemblages quartz+ orthopyroxene+gruneriteand quartz+orthopyroxene+clinopyroxene+calcite indicate gradientsof µH2O µCO2 and respectively. As characterizedby the composition of orthopyroxene, both gradients are relativelylow along strike, and high across strike. The direction of gradientsacross strike is almost without reversals, which is consistentwith intergranular diffusion of H2O and CO2. Phase rule restrictionsfor a majority of assemblages are not in accord with the simultaneousimposition of µH2O and µCO2 gradients on the rocks,nor the formation of an H2O-CO2 fluid phase during metamorphism.  相似文献

Modal mantle metasomatism, involving the re-enrichment of depletedmantle by the introduction or production of new hydrous phases,apatite and other minerals, has been proposed as a criticalprecursor to alkaline volcanism. The merits of the modal metasomatismmodel are evaluated by examining whole-rock 100 Mg/(Mg+Fe2+)ratios and the abundances of TiO2, K2O and P2O5 in mafic volcanicsspanning the mafic alkaline-subalkaline compositional spectrum.Upper mantle amphiboles and micas are also discussed becausethey would be major donors of Ti, Fe, and K to melts duringanatexis of either modally metasomatized depleted mantle orundepleted mantle. Compared with tholeiitic and calc-alkaline basalts and andesites,basanites and alkali basalts and alkali andesites are neitherdistinctive nor unique by virtue of persistant or well-definedhigher abundances of TiO2, K2O, and P2O5 or lower 100 Mg/(Mg+Fe2+)ratios, features which might reflect precursor modal metasomatismof the alkaline sources. Some basanites and alkali basalts dohave higher abundances of TiO2, K2O, and P2O5 than some tholeiitesbut these abundances may be the result of lower degrees of meltingof similar undepleted mantle sources for both magma types. The most widespread mantle phases of inferred metasomatic originare interstitial amphiboles and micas in Group I spinel peridotitexenoliths. These have high 100 Mg/(Mg+Fe) ratios ({small tilde}90) and high Cr2O3 and low TiO2 abundances, and the K2O/Na2Oratios of the amphiboles (chromian pargasites) are low, generallyless than 0?3. Interstitial amphiboles and micas developed asa result of near-isochemical hydration reactions which largelyinvolved Cr-spinel and Cr-diopside. Their formation was probablyinduced in many instances by fluids derived from crystallizingmafic magmas. Metasomatized Group I xenoliths with interstitialhydrous phases remain depleted in TiO2, K2O, and P2O5, and theyretain the high 100 Mg/(Mg+Fe) ratios characterizing depletedGroup I xenoliths. Together with the low K2O/Na2O ratios, thesefeatures preclude such peridotites as suitable sources of mostalkaline (and subalkaline) volcanics. It is suggested that modalmetasomatism plays an insignificant role in the genesis of mostmantle-derived mafic volcanics. Compared with the interstitial phases, kaersutitic amphibolesand titaniferous micas from vein, Group II inclusion and megacrystupper mantle parageneses have lower 100 Mg/(Mg+Fe) ratios andCr2O3 contents, and much higher TiO2 abundances. K2O/Na2O ratiosof the Ti-amphiboles are also much more wide-ranging (0?3 togreater than 1?0). These Fe, Ti-rich amphiboles and micas areneither widespread nor pervasive phases in metasomatized mantle.They are directly related to alkaline magmatism in the uppermantle where they may be associated with incompatible elementenrichment of peridotite wallrocks in the immediate vicinityof frozen conduits of alkaline mafic magmas. The varying K2O/Na2O ratios of mafic volcanics (MORB constitutea major exception) indicate that the principal K-bearing phasesin undepleted mantle are kaersutitic amphibole and titaniferousmica, in varying proportions. The former is probably the majorsource of Ti and K for low K/Na volcanics (K2O/Na2O < 0?5)and also many medium K/Na types (0?5 < K2O/Na2O < 1?0),whereas mica is more likely to be the major K-bearing phasein the source regions of high K/Na extrusives (K2O/Na2 >1?0). Experimental data indicate that kaersutitic amphibole,mica and apatite probably coexist in undepleted spinel- andgarnet lherzolites at pressures up to 25 kb, with mica persistingto pressures as high as 50 kb. It is proposed that undepleted asthenospheric mantle is heterogeneouswith respect to its amphibole, mica, and apatite contents (andhence TiO2, K2O, and P2O5 abundances and K2O/Na2O ratios), andalso with respect to 100 Mg/(Mg+Fe2+ ) ratios which may be significantlyless than the ratios generally assigned to undepleted mantle,namely 88–90.  相似文献

Within the Zitácuaro–Valle de Bravo (ZVB) regionof the central Mexican Volcanic Belt (MVB), three lava serieshave erupted during the Quaternary: (1) high-K2O basaltic andesitesand andesites; (2) medium-K2O basaltic andesites, andesitesand dacites; (3) high-TiO2 basalts and basaltic andesites. Thedominant feature of the first two groups is the lack of plagioclaseaccompanying the various ferromagnesian phenocrysts (olivine,orthopyroxene, augite, and hornblende) in all but the dacites.This absence of plagioclase in the phenocryst assemblages ofthe high-K2O and medium-K2O intermediate lavas is significantbecause it indicates high water contents during the stage ofphenocryst equilibration. In contrast, the high-TiO2 group ischaracterized by phenocrysts of plagioclase and olivine. Thespatial distribution of these three lava series is systematic.The southern section of the ZVB transect, 280–330 km fromthe Middle America Trench (MAT), is characterized by high-K2Omelts that are relatively enriched in fluid-mobile elementsand have the highest 87Sr/86Sr ratios. Medium-K2O basaltic andesiteand andesite lavas are present throughout the transect, butthose closest to the MAT are MgO-rich (3·5–9·4wt %) and have phenocryst assemblages indicative of high magmaticwater contents (3·5–6·5 wt % water) andrelatively low temperatures (950–1000°C). In markedcontrast, the northern section of the ZVB transect (380–480km from the MAT) has high-TiO2, high field strength element(HFSE)-enriched magmas that have comparatively dry (< 1·5wt % magmatic water) and hot (1100–1200°C) phenocrystequilibration conditions. The central section of the ZVB transect(330–380 km from the MAT) is a transition zone and producesmoderately light rare earth element (LREE) and large ion lithophileelement (LILE)-enriched, medium-K2O lavas with phenocryst assemblagesindicative of intermediate (1·5–3·5 wt %)water contents and temperatures. The high-K2O series compositionsare the most enriched in LILE and LREE, with a narrow rangeof radiogenic 87Sr/86Sr from 0·704245 to 0·704507,143Nd/144Nd values ranging from 0·512857 to 0·512927(Nd = 4·27–5·63), and 208Pb/204Pb valuesfrom 38·248 to 38·442, 207Pb/204Pb values from15·563 to 15·585, and 206Pb/204Pb values from18·598 to 18·688. The medium-K2O series compositionsare only moderately enriched in the LILE and LREE, with a broaderrange of 87Sr/86Sr, but similar 143Nd/144Nd and 208Pb/204Pbvalues to those of the high-K2O series. In contrast, the high-TiO2series compositions have little enrichment in LILE or LREE andinstead are enriched in the HFSE and heavy rare earth elements(HREE). The high-TiO2 lavas are isotopically distinct in theirlower and narrower range of 143Nd/144Nd. The isotopic variationsare believed to reflect the upper mantle magma source regionsas the low content of phenocrysts in most lavas precludes significantupper crustal assimilation or magma mixing, other than thatrepresented by the presence of quartz xenocrysts (< 2 vol.%) with rhyolitic glass inclusions, which are found in manyof these lavas. The systematic spatial variation in compositionof the three lava series is a reflection of the underlying subduction-modifiedmantle and its evolution.

Selected average analyses of tholeiitic basalts, which havemarkedly differing contents of K2O, show a broad coherence betweenK, P, Ti, Ba, Rb, Sr, and Zr. The content of K2O in the averageanalyses of 43 tholeiitic provinces shows a wide range (0.07–1.61per cent) and has a positively skewed frequency distribution.K2O in individual tholeiitic basalts and dolerites has a similardistribution pattern. The relationship between K2O and MgO in the average analysesindicates that the range of K2O content cannot be solely theresult of near-surface differentiation, nor, indeed, any differentiationprocess which is indexed by the MgO content of the differentiates. Processes which could effect an enrichment of K and associatedelements in tholeiites are assessed and it is concluded thatdegree of melting, eclogite fractionation at high pressure,and mantle wall-rock reaction are likely to be significant factors.Crustal contamination is considered not to be a generally significantfactor in the development of continental tholeiites. The concept that all other tholeiites are derived from a parentalmagma with the composition of low-K deep oceanic tholeiitesis rejected.  相似文献

Degassing processes in basaltic magmas rich in both water andcarbon dioxide can be modeled using the solubilities of theendmember systems and the assumption of Henry's law. Suitesof vapor-saturated basaltic melts having a range of initialCO2/H2O ratios and erupted over a narrow depth interval willdefine negatively sloped arrays on an H2O vs CO2 plot. It isimportant that all of the major volatile species be consideredsimultaneously when interpreting trends in dissolved volatilespecies concentrations in magmas. Based on measured concentrations of water and carbon dioxidein basaltic glasses, the composition of the vapor phase at 1200°Cthat could coexist with a basaltic melt and the pressure atwhich it would be vapor saturated can be calculated. The rangein vapor compositions in equilibrium with submarine basaltsreflects the range in water contents in the melts characteristicof each environment. The ranges in the molar proportion of CO2in vapor phases (XCO2) calculated to be in equilibrium withsubmarine tholeiitic glasses are 0•93–1•00 formid-ocean ridge basalts (MORB), 0•60–0•99 forglasses from Kilauea [representative of ocean island basalts(OIB)] and 0–0•94 for glasses from back-arc basins(BABB). MORB glasses from spreading centers ranging from slow(e.g. the Mid-Atlantic Ridge) to fast (e.g. East Pacific Rise,9–13°N) are commonly supersaturated with respect toCO2-rich vapor, resulting from magma ascent rates so rapid thatmagmas erupt on the sea-floor without having been fully degassedby bubble nucleation and growth during ascent. In contrast tothe MORB glasses, volatile contents in submarine glasses fromKilauea are consistent with having been in equilibrium witha vapor phase containing 60–100 mol% CO2 at the pressureof eruption, reflecting differences in average magma transportrates during eruptions at mid-ocean ridges and hotspot volcanoes. Degassing during decompression of tholeiitic basaltic magmais characterized by strong partitioning of CO2 into the vaporphase. During open system degassing, CO2 is rapidly removedfrom the melt with negligible loss of water, until a pressureis reached at which the melt is in equilibrium with nearly purewater vapor. From this pressure downward, the water contentof the melt follows the water solubility curve. During closedsystem degassing, water and CO2 contents in vapor-saturatedbasaltic magmas will depend strongly on the vapor compositionas determined by the initial volatile concentrations. Deviationfrom open system behavior, toward lower dissolved H2O and CO2saturation concentrations at a given pressure, will be greatestin melts having high total volatile concentrations and highCO2:H2O ratios. Closed system degassing of basaltic melts havingthe low initial H2O and CO2 contents typical of MORB and OIB,however, are similar to the open system case.

The so-called 10- phase of the MgO-SiO2-H2O (MSH) system wassynthesized with 100% yields from a 3: 4 MgO/SiO2 gel at fluidpressure of 50 kb and 500 C, but only during runs of up to1 h and with total H2O contents near 50 wt. % in the sealedcapsules. The water contents determined in the run productsindicate a chemical composition Mg3Si4O10(OH)20.65 H2O, whichis different from the composition reported by Bauer & Sclar(1981), which had 1 H2O molecule per talc formula. The 10-phase has a = 5.293(3) , b = 9.194(3) , c = 10.044(3) , ß=96.10(8)its calculated density is pcalc.= 2.672 g/cm3; the refractiveindices measured are nx = 1.554. and nx = 1.574. The compatibilityof mean refractive index, calculated density, and chemical compositionfalls within the category ‘excellent’ of Mandarino(1979). Runs of longer durations and with total H2O again near 50 wt.%, seeded with the less hydrous phase talc with the same Mg/Siratio, show that the 10- phase breaks down in the range 30–70kb, 200–700 C to form more talc. Thus it is not the stablehydrous high-pressure equivalent of talc as reported by Yamamoto& Akimoto (1977), but a metastable phase, which cannot playany role as a natural mineral of the mantle or of subductionzones. If the tie-line forsterite-H2O is stable in the MSH system,as it seems to be for the conditions of our experiments, mostof the hydrous, silica-poor, new high-pressure MSH phases maybe without significance for the Earth, except perhaps phaseA with as yet an ambiguous composition.  相似文献

Rocks of the Proterozoic gabbro—diorite—tonalite—trondhjemitesuite of southwest Finland were analyzed for major elements,REE, Rb, Sr, Ba, U, Th, and isotopic composition of Sr and O.Petrographic continuity from hornblendite through hornblendegabbro, hornblende—biotite diorite, hornblende—biotitetonalite and trondhjemite is reflected in regular variationof major and trace elements in samples ranging from 42 to 74per cent of SiO2. The suite is calc alkaline—trondhjemiticand is distinguished from ‘normal’ calc-alkalinesuites by the increase in Na2O and decrease in K2O and REE concentrationsfrom intermediate to silicic rocks. Prior to solidification, the magmas may have undergone additionof water from metamorphic country rock producing a variationof whole-rock O18 values of from 6.0 to 11.3 per mil. This processmay have been accompanied by introduction of Rb and Sr and removalof Ba from intermediate to trondhjemitic magmas. A linear whole-rockisochron age of 1.9 x 109 years may only be approximate owingto the possibility of Rb and Sr exchange. REE concentrationsshow regular variation through the suite and were not noticeablyaffected by exchange processes. Samples ranging from 50 to 60per cent SiO2 show chondrite-normalized light REE contents rangingfrom 40 to 160 whereas heavy REE contents are constant at 10,and there are no Eu anomalies. Samples ranging from 60 to 74per cent SiO2 have REE patterns which decrease in both lightand heavy REE with increasing SiO2 to values of 10 and 1 timeschondritic values respectively, and show increasingly positiveEu anomalies. Three possible models for magma genesis are consistent withthe petrographic, major and trace element variations, isotopicdata, and experimental petrologic studies: (1) fractional crystallizationof a gabbroic liquid involving hornblende, plagioclase, andbiotite as the major precipitating phases; (2) partial meltingof amphibolite leaving a hornblende-rich residue; (3) partialmelting of amphibolite or eclogite leaving an eclogitic residue.Model (1) is preferred because of the presence of hornblende-cumulaterocks, and because there is a continuum of compositions fromgabbro to trondhjemite.  相似文献

New H2O, CO2 and S concentration data for basaltic glasses fromLoihi seamount, Hawaii, allow us to model degassing, assimilation,and the distribution of major volatiles within and around theHawaiian plume. Degassing and assimilation have affected CO2and Cl but not H2O concentrations in most Loihi glasses. Waterconcentrations relative to similarly incompatible elements inHawaiian submarine magmas are depleted (Loihi), equivalent (Kilauea,North Arch, Kauai–Oahu), or enriched (South Arch). H2O/Ceratios are uncorrelated with major element composition or extentor depth of melting, but are related to position relative tothe Hawaiian plume and mantle source region composition, consistentwith a zoned plume model. In front of the plume core, overlyingmantle is metasomatized by hydrous partial melts derived fromthe Hawaiian plume. Downstream from the plume core, lavas tapa depleted source region with H2O/Ce similar to enriched Pacificmid-ocean ridge basalt. Within the plume core, mantle components,thought to represent subducted oceanic lithosphere, have waterenrichments equivalent to (KEA) or less than (KOO) that of Ce.Lower H2O/Ce in the KOO component may reflect efficient dehydrationof the subducting oceanic crust and sediments during recyclinginto the deep mantle.

The occurrence and distribution of carbon in the StillwaterComplex have been investigated. In mineralized troctolite andassociated rocks of olivine-bearing zone I (OB I), carbon ispresent as graphitic material and calcite. The assemblage forsterite-antigorite-calcite-graphiteand the petro graphic relations indicate equilibration of thecarbon-rich phases during serpentinization. Typical OB I troctolitecontains 500–1100 ppm wt. carbon, 40–70% of whichis in calcite, whereas troctolite from higher stratigraphicpositions generally contains <400 ppm carbon. Due to themetamorphism, it is not possible to deduce the extent to whichenrichment of carbon in the ore zone is inherited from magmaticprocesses. In contrast, there is good evidence for magmaticgraphite in parts of the Bushveld Complex. The C-O-H-Cl system has been investigated for conditions ofStillwater and Bushveld crystalliz ation. In alkali-poor fluidsover a wide range of igneous and metamorphic conditions, theimportant chlorine species are HCl and CH3Cl The addition ofchlorine to a C-O-H fluid in equilibrium with graphite leadsto a quantitative increase in HCl+CH3Cl and corresponding decreasein H2O contents, and, when Cl/H exceeds 1, to a CO2+CO-richfluid with little H2O Similarly, in more reduced fluids, CH4contents are depressed by the formation of CH3Cl. From consideration of volatile solubilities and abundances inmafic magmas and the nature of the C-O-H-Cl system, it is hypothesizedthat the first fluid to exsolve from Bushveld and Stillwaterintercumulus melt was composed of a mixture of CO2 CO, and HClwith minor amounts of sulfur species and H2O A model is developedfor the evolution of such a fluid with cooling. The model assumesthat graphite began to precipitate from the fluid at supersolidustemperature and that the system cooled down a T-fo2 path parallelto and >2 log units below that of the Ni-NiO oxygen buffer.Upon the appearance of graphite, the fluid evolved to a morehydrogen-rich composition by graphite precipitation and lossof oxygen to the surrounding silicate-oxide assemblage. Coolingof fluid to 25?C below the first appearance of graphite resultedin reduction in the fluid mass by >70%, thus concentratingchlorine, sulfur and other residual species in the intercumulusfluid and melt. The model explains the presence of chlor-apatiteand the enrichment of graphite in the Bushveld Critical Zoneand predicts that chlor-apatite-bearing Stillwater rocks weresimilarly enriched in graphite during crystallization.  相似文献

Electron microprobe analyses are presented for new-formed mineralsfrom a small exposure of semi-schistose Taveyanne Formationof the pumpellyite-actinolite facies near Lo?che, Valais. Comparisonsare drawn with minerals of other low-grade metamorphic areas,especially in southern New Zealand. Sphene shows considerablesubstitution of Ca(Al,Fe)SiO4(OH) for CaTiSiO5. Epidotes aresharply divided into early pistacitic (Ps = 0.28–0.37)and later clinozoisitic varieties (Ps = 0.11–0.19). Pumpellyitesrange from pumpellyite-(Fe) to pumpellyite-(Al) and are generallyless Fe-rich than those of zeolite and prehnite-pumpellyitefacies. Pumpellyite inclusions in albitized plagioclase areparticularly low in Mg. Actinolites are low in A12O3, TiO2,and Na2O, essentially identical compositions being nucleatedon detrital augite, hornblende, and in the matrix. Phengitesare also extremely low in Na2O and TiO2. Chlorites are ripidolites.Albitized clastic plagioclase has the composition An0.7–1.6and albite in clinozoisite-calcite-albite-phengite-chloriteveins An2.1–2.3. Calcites carry minor Mn > Fe ? Mg.New-formed iron oxides are absent, whereas pyrrhotite and minorpyrite occur in one rock, buffering fs2 and indicating low fo2. Ratios Mg: Fe* (Fe* = total Fe) in coexisting chlorites andA1, Na-poor actinolites vary sympathetically both in the Lo?cheand southern New Zealand rocks here considered, giving KD =(Mg/Fe*) actlnolIte/(Mg/Fe*)chlorle = 1.72. Mg/Fe* ratios inpumpellyites tend to vary sympathetically with those of coexistingchlorites and actinolites but are more variable. Substitutionof (Fe, Mg)Si for A12 in phengitic micas and chlorites variessympathetically in the same suites between mafic volcanic andmore pelitic extremes. Various minor elements also behave ina consistent fashion, indicating an encouraging tendency towardsequilibrium. Variable (though small) A12O3 contents of actinolite,Fe: Al ratios in epidotes and pumpellyites, and Mg: Fe* ratiosin phengites, even within a single grain, are evidence of short-rangedisequilibrium; metamorphic equilibration is evidently easierbetween some crystal structures and structural sites than betweenothers. In phase rule analysis of assemblages in such rocks it is commonlynecessary to treat Fe2O3, FeO, and MgO as separate componentsand it may also be necessary to regard CO2 as an inert componentand/or to interpret observed assemblages as of low variance.The presence of the Ca-Al silicates and sphene indicates verylow Xco2 in the metamorphic fluids in all rocks examined exceptan albite-chlorite-calcite-quartz-anatase assemblage. But higherAn in albites than in isofacial and in greenschist facies rocksof southern New Zealand can be ascribed to significantly higherXco2 at Lo?che, especially in the veins, than in New Zealand. Pumpellyite and epidotes of the pumpellyite-actinolite faciestend to be lower in Fe and richer in Al than those of lowergrade facies. Important reactions include those of the formpumpellyite-(Fe3+)+chlorite+quartz+H2=pumpellyite-(Al)+actinolite,and pumpellyite+chlorite+quartz- ‘epidote’+actinolite+water.Careful selection of pumpellyite and chlorite compositions isrequired for experimental and chemographic analysis of pumpellyitestability. In the absence of critical data, temperatures ofabout 250–350? and pressures of several kilobars are provisionallysuggested for the Lo?che metamorphism.  相似文献

Complete chemical analyses, structural formulae and trace elementdata are presented for 9 hornblendes and 12 biotites from thecharnockitic and associated rock types of Kondapalli (AndhraPradesh, India), some 200 miles north of the type area nearMadras. The chemical characteristics of the hornblendes are:very high [Al]4, nearly constant Ca, very high and nearly constanttotal alkalis (Na2O > K2O in the hornblendes of ultrabasiccharnockites and Na2O < K2O in those of basic charnockites),very high F and Cl, low total water, and Ni in amount greaterthan Co. The biotites are characterized by high Ti and F, lowMn, total absence of Ca, exceptionally high amounts of Cl, lowtotal water, and have Ni > Co; the biotites from differentgroups of host rocks have different Al and Fe3+ contents. Thevariations in composition of these minerals are interpretedas due to the change in bulk rock chemistry and mineralogy andnot to the change in temperatures of crystallization. The element distributional relationships in hornblende-biotite,hornblende-orthopyroxene, hornblende-clinopyroxene, biotite-orthopyroxene,and biotite-clinopyroxene pairs from the Kondapalli charnockitesare evaluated, with particular attention to the partition ofFe2+, Mg, Mn, Ti, Cr, Ni, Co, and V, and comparisons are madewith similar data available for corresponding mineral pairs.Highly consistent and uniform distribution coefficients forFe2+ and Mg (and a small range of distribution coefficientsfor many of the trace elements) are obtained for most of thedifferent sets of mineral pairs from Kondapalli, suggestingthat equilibrium distribution of the elements between the phaseshad been attained.  相似文献

A Sheel of clinopyroxene quartz syenite, in the PrecambrianHighlands of New Jersey near Berkshire Valley, transects structuraltrends in surrounding gneisses that have been metamorphosedto the hornblende granulite subfacies. The quartz syenite lacksfoliation, lineation, and visible layering. The rock has hypautomorphic-granular texture and is composedchiefly of mesoperthite, quartz, and ferrohedenbergite. Locallyfayalite or hornblende are common. Accessory minerals includeplagioclase and potassium feldspar, zircon, apatite, magnetite,ilmenite, covellite, and pyrite. Contour maps based on modesof thirty-six specimens of quartz syenite indicate progressiveincrease in quartz content and corresponding decrease in maficmineral content from east to west. These modal variations suggestsome degree of gravitational settling of crystals. Althoughthe rock is chemically similar to many Precambrian syenitesin eastern North America, it is distinguished from them by anextremely high Fe/Mg ratio. It is believed that the quartz syenite was intruded as a magmaduring the late stages of folding of the host gneisses. Themagma was highly undersaturated with respect to H2O during mostof the course of crystallization. Initial H2O content was probablyfar less than 0.5 weight per cent. Crystallization of most ofthe mass occurred at temperatures well in excess of 800°Cand at load pressures well in excess of 2.5 kilobars. The magmawas probably derived by deep-seated anatexis of Fe-rich, Mg-poorsyenitic gnessies that are now widely exposed in the New JerseyHighlands.  相似文献

Ultra-calcic melt inclusions (UCMI: CaO>13.5 wt% and/or CaO/Al2O3>0.9) are magnesian and near-primary liquids trapped in volcanic phenocrysts from mid-ocean ridges, arcs, back-arcs, and ocean islands. UCMI can be subdivided into two classes based on tectonic association and degree of silica saturation: those from arcs are nepheline normative and those from all other localities (silicic UCMI) are hypersthene normative. Silicic UCMI share a number of common features, including primitive host minerals, low alkali contents, and variable ratios of K2O/TiO2 ranging to high values. Their compositions are not easily derived by partial melting of mantle lherzolite. Accordingly, we have performed a series of partial melting experiments on three clinopyroxenite compositions at 1.0 to 2.0 GPa to investigate the role of partial melting of clinopyroxene-rich lithologies in silicic UCMI genesis. Estimated solidus temperatures for all three compositions are similar to those of normal peridotites, but 1.0 GPa isobaric melt productivities are higher for clinopyroxenite than for peridotite. High degree partial melts of the clinopyroxenites are ultra-calcic and have similarities to silicic UCMI, but the experiments produce ultra-calcic liquids only at melt fractions greater than 30% and temperatures higher than 1,350 °C at 1.0 GPa. Such temperatures are higher than those likely to be prevailing beneath normal mid-ocean ridges, which suggests that some or all silicic UCMI may originate by a process other than simple partial melting of clinopyroxene-rich lithologies. We consider a possible role for partial melting of depleted harzburgite in the genesis of silicic UCMI.  相似文献
