Sapphirine occurs with cordierite, phlogopite, spinel, sillimanite,corundum, orthopyroxene, and gedrite in granulite facies Mg-and Al-rich paragneisses within the low P, high T NamaqualandMetamorphic Complex. The gneisses reveal a three-stage texturalhistory. Sapphirine appeared during a second stage of progrademineral growth which produced nodular structures and intergrowthsinvolving spinel, corundum, and sillimanite, pseudomorphingan earlier generation of coarse, amphibolite facies minerals.A third generation of coarse, cross-cutting, mainly hydrousminerals (gedrite, kornerupine, phlogopite) is sporadicallydeveloped. The wide variety of cofacial mineral assemblages allows thedelineation of the stable mineral associations of sapphirinein the system K2O-MgO-FeO-Al2O3-SiO2-H2O under P-T conditionsindependently estimated at about 5 kb, 750–800 °C.The natural assemblages provide constraints which, taken togetherwith existing thermodynamic and experimental data, allow theestimation of P-T slopes of sapphirine equilibria. The mineraltextures thus indicate sapphirine growth under increasing T,decreasing a(H2O), and constant or slightly increasing P. The preservation of prograde reaction textures during fine-grainedmineral growth probably results from the reduced importanceand/or more CO2-rich composition of the metamorphic fluid undergranulite facies conditions in these refractory rocks. Aqueousfluids were locally reintroduced after the metamorphic peak.  相似文献

Sapphirine granulite occurring as lenses in charnockite at Anantagiri,Eastern Ghat, India, displays an array of minerals which developedunder different P-T-X conditions. Reaction textures in conjunctionwith mineral chemical data attest to several Fe-Mg continuousreactions, such as
  1. spinel+rutile+quartz+MgFe–1=sapphirine+ilmenite
  2. cordierite=sapphirine+quartz+MgFe–1
  3. sapphirine+quartz=orthopyroxene+sillimanite+MgFe–1
  4. orthopyroxene+sapphirine+quartz=garnet+MgFe–1
  5. orthopyroxene+sillimanite=garnet+quartz+MgFe–1
  6. orthopyroxene+sillimanite+quartz+MgFe–1=cordierite.
Calculated positions of the reaction curves in P-T space, togetherwith discrete P-T points obtained through geothermobarometryin sapphirine granulite and the closely associated charnockiteand mafic granulite, define an anticlockwise P-T trajectory.This comprises a high-T/P prograde metamorphic path which culminatedin a pressure regime of 8?3 kb above 950?C, a nearly isobariccooling (IBC) path (from 950?C, 8?3 kb, to 675?C, 7?5kb) anda terminal decompressive path (from 7?5 to 4?5 kb). Spinel,quartz, high-Mg cordierite, and sapphirine were stabilized duringthe prograde high-T/P metamorphism, followed by the developmentof orthopyroxene, sillimanite, and garnet during the IBC. Retrogradelow-Mg cordierite appeared as a consequence of decompressionin the sapphirine granulite. Deformational structures, reportedfrom the Eastern Ghat granulites, and the available geochronologicaldata indicate that prograde metamorphism could have occurredat 30001?00 and 2500?100 Ma during a compressive orogeny thatwas associated with high heat influx through mafic magmatism. IBC ensued from Pmax and was thus a direct consequence of progrademetamorphism. However, in the absence of sufficient study onthe spatial variation in P-T paths and the strain historiesin relation to time, the linkage between IBC and isothermaldecompression (ITD) has remained obscure. A prolonged IBC followedby ITD could be the consequence of one extensional mechanismwhich had an insufficient acceleration at the early stage, orITD separately could be caused by an unrelated extensional tectonism.The complex cooled nearly isobarically from 2500 Ma. It sufferedrapid decompression accompanied by anorthosite and alkalinemagmatism at 1400–1000 Ma.  相似文献

The pressure-temperature-compositional (P-T-X) dependence ofthe solubility of Al2O3 in orthopyroxene coexisting with garnethas been experimentally determined in the P-T range 5–30kilobars and 800–1200 ?C in the system FeO—MgO—Al2O3—SiO2(FMAS). These results have been extended into the CaO—FeO—MgO—Al2O3—SiO2(CFMAS) system in a further set of experiments designed to determinethe effect of the calcium content of garnet on the Al2O3 contentsof coexisting orthopyroxene at near-constant Mg/(Mg + Fe). Startingmaterials were mainly glasses of differing Mg/(Mg + Fe) or Ca/(Ca+ Mg + Fe) values, seeded with garnet and orthopyroxene of knowncomposition, but mineral mixes were also used to demonstratereversible equilibrium. Experiments were performed in a piston-cylinderapparatus using a talc/pyrex medium. Measured orthopyroxene and corrected garnet compositions werefitted by multiple and stepwise regression techniques to anequilibrium relation in the FMAS system, yielding best-fit,model-dependent parameters Goy= –5436 + 2.45T cal mol–1,and WM1FeA1= –920 cal mol–1. The volume change ofreaction, Vo, the entropy change, So970 and the enthalpy changeHo1,970, were calculated from the MAS system data of Perkinset al. (1981) and available heat capacity data for the phases.Data from CFMAS experiments were fitted to an expanded equilibriumrelation to give an estimate of the term WgaCaMg = 1900 ? 400cal/mole cation, using the other parametric values already obtainedin FMAS. The experimental data allow the development of a arnet-orthopyroxenegeobarometer applicable in FMAS and CFMAS: where This geobarometer is applicable to both pelitic and metabasicgranulites containing garnet orthopyroxene, and to garnet peridoditeand garnet pyroxenite assemblages found as xenoliths in diatremesor in peridotite massifs. It is limited, however, by the necessityof an independent temperature estimate, by errors associatedwith analysis of low Al2O3 contents in orthopyroxenes in high-pressureor low-temperature parageneses, and by uncertainties in thecomposition of garnet in equilibrium with orthopyroxene. Ananalysis of errors associated with this formulation of the geobarometersuggests that it is subject to great uncertainty at low pressuresand for Fe-rich compositions. The results of application ofthis geobarometer to natural assemblages are presented in acompanion paper.  相似文献

We have determined the Fe-Mg fractionation between coexistinggarnet and orthopyroxene at 20–45 kb, 975–1400?C,and the effect of iron on alumina solubility in orthopyroxeneat 25 kb, 1200?C, and 20 kb, 975?C in the FMAS system. The equilibriumcompositions were constrained by experiments with crystallinestarting mixtures of garnet and orthopyroxene of known initialcompositions in graphite capsules. All iron was assumed to beFe2+. A mixture of PbO with about 55 mol per cent PbF2 provedvery effective as a flux. The experimental results do not suggest any significant dependenceof KD on Fe/Mg ratio at T 1000?C. The lnKD vs. l/T data havebeen treated in terms of both linear and non-linear thermodynamicfunctional forms, and combined with the garnet mixing modelof Ganguly & Saxena (1984) to develop geothermometric expressionsrelating temperature to KD and Ca and Mn concentrations in garnet. The effect of Fe is similar to that of Ca and Cr3+ in reducingthe alumina solubility in orthopyroxene in equilibrium withgarnet relative to that in the MAS system. Thus, the directapplication of the alumina solubility data in the MAS systemto natural assemblages could lead to significant overestimationof pressure, probably by about 5 kb for the relatively commongarnetlherzolites with about 25 mol per cent Ca+Fe2+ in garnetand about 1 wt. per cent Al2O3 in orthopyroxene.  相似文献

The basanite tuffs of Bullenmerri and Gnotuk maars, Victoria,enclose abundant xenoliths of spinel lherzolites, many of whichcontain amphibole ± apatite ± phlogopite. Thexenolith suite also includes cumulate wehrlites, spinel metapyroxenitesand garnet metapyroxenites. All xenolith types contain abundantlarge CO2-rich fluid inclusions. Microstructural evidence forthe exsolution of spinel, orthopyroxene, garnet and rare plagioclasefrom complex clinopyroxenes suggests that all of the metapyroxeniteshave formed from clinopyroxene (± spinel ± orthopyroxene)cumulates by exsolution and recrystallization during coolingto the ambient geotherm. Pyroxene chemistry implies that a rangeof parental magma types was involved. Garnet pyroxenites showa series of reactions to successively finer-grained, lower-Pmineral assemblages, which imply a relatively slow initial upwardtransport of the xenoliths in the magma, prior to explosiveeruption. The same process has allowed crystallization of phenocrystsfrom small patches of interstitial melt within xenoliths oflherzolite, wehrlite and metapyroxenite. Critically selected P-T estimates for 16 garnet websteritesare consistent with published experimental studies of the spinel/garnetpyroxenite transition, and define a geotherm from 900 °C,11 kb to 1100 °C, 16 kb. Other published data extend thecurve down to c. 7 kb and up to 25 kb. This elevated geothermsuggests that the high regional heat flow is related to convectiveheat transfer by dike injection accompanying the vulcanism.T estimates for the lherzolites range from 850–1050 °C;comparison with the derived geotherm implies that the spinellherzolites are derived from depths of 30–55 km. Thiszone has low seismic velocities (Vp = 6.8–7.8 km/sec)and has thus previously been regarded as a thick, largely maficlower crust. The xenolith data show that this Mower crust' isdominantly ultramafic, with layers, dikes and some large bodiesof pyroxenites and mafic granulites. The anomalously low Vpmay be due to the high T, the high proportion of fluid-filledpore volume, and the magnesian composition of the lherzolites.The seismically defined Moho (Vp >8.0 km/sec) coincides withthe experimentally determined position of the spinel lherzolite-garnetlherzolite transition.  相似文献

The granulite complex at Anakapalle, which was metamorphosedat 1000 Ma, comprises orthopyroxene granulites, leptynite, khondalite,mafic granulites, calc-silicate rock, spinel granulites, andtwo types of sapphirine granulites—one quartz-bearingand migmatitic and the other devoid of quartz and massive. Reactiontextures in conjunction with mineral-chemical data suggest severalcontinuous and discontinuous equilibria in these rocks. In orthopyroxenegranulites, dehydration-melting of biotite in the presence ofquartz occurred according to the reaction biotite+quartz= garnet (Py37)+K-feldspar+orthopyroxene + liquid. Later, this garnet broke down by the reaction garnet (Py37)+quartz= orthopyroxene + plagioclase. Subsequently, coronal garnet (Py30) and quartz were producedby the same reaction but proceeding in the opposite direction.In spinel granulites, garnet (Py42) and sillimanite were producedby the breakdown of spinel in the presence of quartz. In thetwo types of sapphirine granulites, garnet with variable pyropecontent broke down according to the reaction garnet = sapphirine + sillimanite + orthopyroxene. The highest pyrope content (59 mol %) was noted in garnets fromquartz-free sapphirine granulites compared with the quartz-bearingone (53 mol % pyrope). The calculated positions of the mineralreactions and diserete P-T points obtained by thermobarometrydefine a retrograde P-T trajectory during which a steep decompressionof 1.5 kbar from P-Tmax of 8 kbar and 900C was followed bynear-isobaric cooling of 300C. During this decompression, garnetwith variable pyrope contents in different rocks broke downon intersection with various divariant equilibria. Near-isobariccooling resulted in the formation of coronal garnet around second-generationorthopyroxene and plagioclase replacing earlier porphyroblasticgarnet in orthopyroxene granulites. It has been argued thatthe deduced P-T trajectory originated in an extensional regimeinvolving either a crust of near-normal thickness of a slightlyoverthickened crust owing to magmatic underaccretion.  相似文献

The upper Triassic Karmutsen metabasites from northeast VancouverIsland, B.C., are thermally metamorphosed by the intrusion ofthe Coast Range Batholith. The amygdaloidal metabasites developedin the outer portion of the contact aureole show a progressivemetamorphism from zeolite to prehnite-pumpellyite facies. Thesize of an equilibrium domain is extremely small for these metabasites,and the individual amygdule assemblages are assumed to be inequilibrium. Two major calcite-free assemblages (+chlorite+quartz)are characteristic: (i) laumontite+pumpellyite+epidote in thezeolite facies and (ii) prehnite+pumpellyite+epidote in theprehnite-pumpellyite facies. The assemblages and compositionsof Ca-Al silicates are chemographically and theoretically interpretedon the basis of the predicted P-T grid for the model basalticsystem, CaO-MgO-A12O3-Fe2O3-SiO2-H2O. The results indicate:(1) local equilibrium has been approached in mineral assemblagesand compositions; (2) the XFe3+ values in the coexisting Ca-Alsilicates decrease from epidote, through pumpellyite to prehnite;(3) with increasing metamorphic grade, the Fe3+ contents ofepidotes in reaction assemblages decrease in the zeolite facies,then increase in the prehnite-pumpellyite facies rocks. Suchvariations in the assemblages and mineral compositions are controlledby a sequence of continuous and discontinuous reactions, andallow delineation of T-XFe3+ relations at constant pressure.The transition from the zeolite to prehnite-pumpellyite faciesof the Karmutsen metabasites is defined by a discontinuous reaction:0·18 laumontite+pumpellyite+0·15 quartz = 1·31prehnite+ 0·78 epidote+0·2 chlorite+ 1·72H2O, where the XFe3+ values of prehnite, pumpellyite and epidoteare 0·03, 0·10 and 0·18, respectively.These values together with available thermodynamic data andour preliminary experimental data are used to calculate theP-T condition for the discontinuous reaction as P = 1·1±0·5 kb and T = 190±30°C. The effectsof pressure on the upper stability of the zeolite facies assemblagesare discussed utilizing T-XFe3+ diagrams. The stability of thelaumontite-bearing assemblages for the zeolite facies metamorphismof basaltic rocks may be defined by either continuous or discontinuousreactions depending on the imposed metamorphic field gradient.Hence, the zeolite and prehnite-pumpellyite facies transitionboundary is multivariant.  相似文献

Interlayered and cofolded charnockites and metapelites of thetype charnockite area near Madras were metamorphosed under granulitefades conditions. Fe-Mg partitioning between orthopyroxene,garnet, and biotite indicates that chemical equilibrium wasapproached under similar P-T conditions in the two rock suites.Several geothennometers and geobarometers give P-T values whichconverge at 750–800?C and 6.5–7.5 kb. Computations utilizing data from high pressure phase equilibriumexperiments of Bohlen et al. (1983a) and Wones & Dodge (1977)point to several significant relations regarding the behaviourof H2O during the granulite metamorphism. aH2O values, computedfrom Bohlen et al.'s (1983a) reversal data and the a-X modelfor phlogopite after Bohlen et al. (1980), show distinctly lowermagnitudes in metapelites (0.10–0.16) than in charnockites(0.23–0.34). No systematic spatial gradients exist withinthe charnockites or metapelites, and aH2O has similar valuesin metapelite exposures widely separated in the field. Theseimply an internal, rather than an external (e.g., by CO2 influx),control of the fluids. Applying the algebraic method developed by Rumble (1976), Gibbsanalysis in the system K2O-MgO-FeO-Fe2O3-Al2O3-SiO2-TiO2-H2Oshows that the chemical potentials of H2O and to O2, as monitoredagainst biotite composition and , exhibit gradients with respect to XMg in the two rock suites under isothermal-isobaricconditions. µH2O was found to decrease with XMgbt in both,while µO2 increases with decreasing XMgbt in metapelitesbut increases sympathetically with XMgbt in charnockites. Thesefindings point out again that µH2O and µO2 wereinternally buffered. The absence of graphite in the metapelites,at an estimated fO2 = 10–14.7 b, also argues against anexternal influx of CO2 and, inter alia, supports internal buffering.A complementary enquiry into variations of aTIO2 reveals aninverse relation between aTIO2 and aH2O, suggesting a similarcontrol for aTIO2. The inferences from biotite dehydration equilibria, when combinedwith the P-T data and with several field and chemical featuresof these rocks noted earlier (Sen, 1974), make dehydration meltinga distinct possibility for the Madras rocks. It is argued thatthe low aH2O and high aTIO2 ({small tilde} 0.9) observed inthe metapelites have been caused by a greater extent of meltingin the precursors of metapelites, which were more hydrous thanthose of charnockites, coupled with preferential partitioningof Ti into the residual rocks—thus strengthening the casefor dehydration melting.  相似文献

Experiments in the quartz-saturated part of the system KFMASHunder fO2 conditions of the haematite–magnetite bufferand using bulk compositions with XMg of 0·81, 0·72,0·53 define the stability limits of several mineral assemblageswithin the P–T field 9–12 kbar, 850–1100°C.The stability limits of the mineral assemblages orthopyroxene+ spinel + cordierite ± sapphirine, orthopyroxene + garnet+ sapphirine, sapphirine + cordierite + orthopyroxene and garnet+ orthopyroxene + spinel have been delineated on the basis ofP–T and T–X pseudosections. Sapphirine did not appearin the bulk composition of XMg = 0·53. A partial petrogeneticgrid applicable to high Mg–Al granulites metamorphosedat high fO2, developed in our earlier work, was extended tohigher pressures. The experimental results were successfullyapplied to several high-grade terranes to estimate P–Tconditions and retrograde P–T trajectories.

The hornblende garbenschist horizon of the Lower Schieferhulleseries (LSH) in the SW Tauern Window, Austria, contains theassemblage hornblende + kyanite + staurolite + garnet + biotite+ epidote + plagioclase + ankerite + quartz + rutile + ilmenite,with either chlorite or paragonite present in all samples. Theseassemblages are divariant in the system SiO2-Al2O3-TiO2-Fe2O3-MgO-FeO-MnO-CaO-Na2O-K2O-H2O-CO2.Garnet-biotite geothermometry yields temperatures of final equilibrationof {small tilde}550 °C, and garnet-plagioclase-kyanite-quartzgeobarometry indicates pressures of 6–8 kb for the matrixassemblage and 9–10 kb for plagioclase inclusions in garnet.Quantitative modelling of zoned garnet, hornblende, and plagioclaseindicates growth and equilibration along a decompression pathfrom {small tilde}530 °C, 10 kb to {small tilde}550 °C,7 kb. Fluid inclusion data constrain the uplift path to havepassed through a point at {small tilde} 375 °C, 1.5 kb. These data permit the construction of a relatively completeP-T loop for metamorphism associated with the Alpine orogeniccycle in the LSH of the SW Tauern Window. The maximum pressureconditions ({small tilde}10 kb at 530 °C) recorded alongthis loop are considerably higher than previous estimates of5–7 kb for the region. Simple overthrust models developedfor the Tauern Window cannot account for pressures of this magnitude;a more likely scenario involves partial subduction of the rocksto a depth of {small tilde}35 km, followed by prolonged heatingin response to decay of the subduction isotherms. Initial upliftappears to have been rapid and occurred along a nearly isothermalpath. Significant cooling did not occur until the rocks werewithin {small tilde}5 km of the surface. Detailed tectonic modelsfor the evolution of the Tauern Window must be able to accountfor the quantitative features of the P-T loop.  相似文献

On the basis of the net transfer reactions among garnet, biotite,plagioclase and quartz (for both Mg and Fe end-member models),the garnet–biotite–plagioclase–quartz (GBPQ)geobarometer was empirically calibrated under physical conditionsof P = 1·0–11·4 kbar and T = 515–878°C,based on the input garnet–biotite temperatures and garnet–aluminosilicate–plagioclase–quartz(GASP) pressures of 224 natural aluminosilicate-bearing metapeliticsamples collated from the literature. The calibrations are internallyconsistent with the asymmetric quaternary solid solution modelof garnet, the symmetric quaternary solid solution model ofbiotite, and the Al-avoidance ternary solid solution model ofplagioclase in calibrating the garnet–biotite geothermometerand the GASP geobarometer. The resulting two GBPQ barometerformulae reproduce the input GASP pressures well within ±1·0kbar (mostly within ±0·5 kbar). For both aluminosilicate-bearingand aluminosilicate-absent metapelites, the two GBPQ barometryformulae yielded identical pressures, whether the sample wasincluded or not included in calibrating the GBPQ barometry.The random error of the GBPQ barometry may be expected as ±1·2kbar. The dP/dT slopes of these two GBPQ formulae are closeto that of the GASP barometer in P–T space. Applicationsof the GBPQ barometry of aluminosilicate-absent metapelitesto the rocks within a thermal contact aureole, or rocks withina limited geographical area without post-metamorphic structuraldiscontinuity, show no obvious pressure change. It may be concludedthat the two GBPQ barometry formulae derived in this study maybe used as practical tools for metamorphic pelites under theconditions of 515–878°C and 1·0–11·4kbar, in the composition range of Xgros >3% in garnet, Xan>17% in plagioclase, and  相似文献

The stability of chloritoid, FeAl2SiO6H2O, was investigatedat fluid pressures less than 10 kb. At oxygen fugacities definedby the Ni-NiO buffer, chloritoid reacts to Fe-cordierite andhercynite spinel at 550 and 575 °C at 1 and 2 kb fluid pressure.At pressures between 2.5 and 3.5 kb the assemblage aluminousferro-anthophyllite, staurolite and hercynite spinel appears.The breakdown of chloritoid to this assemblage takes place at625, 650, and 675 °C at 5.5, 7.0, and 8.7 kb, respectively.The aluminous ferro-anthophyllite assemblage is stable onlyover 50 °C, reacting with increasing temperature to almandine,staurolite, and hercynite spinel. Under the QFM buffer, thesame equilibria are displaced to higher temperatures and thealuminous ferro-anthophyllite bearing field is further restrictedwith respect to temperature. The 7 Å chamosite assemblage,previously considered to be the metastable equivalent of chloritoidat low pressures, is shown to be unstable and chloritoid canbe synthesized at pressures as low as 1 kb. An analysis of the equilibria and related experimental datapermits the construction of a schematic P-T grid which outlinesthe stability limits of several important mineral assemblagesin this system. Although the experimental and natural systemsare not strictly analogous, there is an excellent degree ofcorrespondence between the defined upper limit of chloritoidstability and previous estimates of the facies boundaries itserves to define.  相似文献

Carbonate scapolite is a potentially powerful mineral for calculatingCO2 activities in non-calcareous rocks, but an analysis of thethermodynamics and phase equilibria of carbonate scapolite isfirst necessary. This includes an evaluation of Al-Si disorderin meionite, as this has the greatest effect on derived phaserelations. Available experimental data on meionite stability,X-ray diffraction refinements and nuclear magnetic resonancespectra for calcic scapolite do not uniquely constrain the Al-Siordering state of synthetic meionite. However, the data aremost consistent with a high degree of Al-Si disorder and inconsistentwith long-range Al-Si order. An internally consistent thermodynamicdata set was derived and used to calculate P-T and T-XCO2 equilibriainvolving meionite in the CaO-Al2O3-SiO2-CO2-H2O (CASCH) system.The effect of Al-Si disorder is illustrated by calculating thephase equilibria using an ordered, an arbitrary intermediatedisordered, and a completely Al-Si disordered standard statefor meionite. The Gibbs free energy of meionite was calculatedfrom reversals (at 790–815?C, 2–15 kb) on the reaction 3 Anorthite +Calcite =Meionite The fG?m, 298 for each of the standard states is –13 146?6,–13128?8, and –130930kJ/mol, respectively. Becauseof the steep slope of reaction (1) and limited temperature rangeover which it breaks down, meionite used in the experimentsto constrain reaction (1) must possess a limited range of Al-Sidisorder. The P-T slope of reaction (1) increases, and the slopeof meionite decarbonation equilibria changes from positive tonegative in T-XCO2 and P-T space, as a function of increasingAl-Si disorder. Meionite has a wide stability field at highT in T-X space at 5 and 10 kb (PTotal=PFluid), being stableto XCO2=0?06. Meionite alone breaks down to undersaturated gehleniteand/or corundum-bearing assemblages at 5 kb, and to clinozoisiteat 10 kb. The effect of solid solutions on the T-X stabilityof meionite is similar to that of increasing pressure, stabilizingmeionite to lower temperature. Variable Al-Si disorder doesnot significantly affect the upper limit of meionite stabilityin T-XCO2 space. Activity-composition relations for meionitein carbonate scapolite were calculated relative to reaction(1) from data on natural scapolite-plagioclase-calcite assemblages.The extent of departure from ideality varies as a function ofAl-Si disorder. Negative deviations from ideality are indicatedfor natural scapolite solid solutions at T<750?C, based ona disordered Al-Si standard state for meionite. This is likelyto reflect a more ordered Al-Si distribution in natural scapolitescompared with the synthetic endmember standard state.

Experiments with peridotite minerals in simple (MgO–Al2O3–SiO2,CaO–MgO–SiO2 and CaO–MgO–Al2O3–SiO2)and natural systems were conducted at 1300–1500°Cand 6–10 GPa using a multi-anvil apparatus. The experimentsin simple systems demonstrated consistency with previous lowerpressure experiments in belt and piston–cylinder set-ups.The analysis of spatial variations in pyroxene compositionswithin experimental samples was used to demonstrate that pressureand temperature variations within the samples were less than0·4 GPa and 50°C. Olivine capsules were used in natural-systemexperiments with two mineral mixtures: SC1 (olivine + high-Alorthopyroxene + high-Al clinopyroxene + spinel) and J4 (olivine+ low-Al orthopyroxene + low-Al clinopyroxene + garnet). Theexperiments produced olivine + orthopyroxene + garnet ±clinopyroxene assemblages, occasionally with magnesite and carbonate-richmelt. Equilibrium compositions were derived by the analysisof grain rims and evaluation of mineral zoning. They were comparedwith our previous experiments with the same starting mixturesat 2·8–6·0 GPa and the results from simplesystems. The compositions of minerals from experiments withnatural mixtures show smooth pressure and temperature dependencesup to a pressure of 8 GPa. The experiments at 9 and 10 GPa producedandradite-rich garnets and pyroxene compositions deviating fromthe trends defined by the lower pressure experiments (e.g. higherAl in orthopyroxene and Ca in clinopyroxene). This discrepancyis attributed to a higher degree of oxidation in the high-pressureexperiments and an orthopyroxene–high-P clinopyroxenephase transition at 9 GPa. Based on new and previous resultsin simple and natural systems, a new version of the Al-in-orthopyroxenebarometer is presented. The new barometer adequately reproducesexperimental pressures up to 8 GPa. KEY WORDS: garnet; mineral equilibrium; multi-anvil apparatus; orthopyroxene; geobarometry  相似文献

The calc-alkaline lava sequence of the eastern Sidlaw Hillsforms a small part of an extensive volcanic province of LowerOld Red Sandstone (Devonian) age in Scotland and N. England.The Sidlaw lavas ranging from olivine basalt to dacite are allporphyritic with combinations of olivine, plagioclase, clinopyroxene,orthopyroxene, and opaque oxide pheno-crysts. Chemically, thelavas are slightly more alkalic than modern calc-alkaline lavas.There is considerable variation in the ‘incompatible elements’.The differentiation of the lavas can be accounted for by fractionationof olivine+plagioclase+minor ore from a chemically variable,immediately parental magma at low pressure (c. 1 kb PH2O). Itis suggested that fractionation of variable amounts of olivineand clinopyroxene from an olivine tholeiite at moderate PH2Ocould give rise to this chemically variable, high alumina, immediatelyparental magma.  相似文献

Effect of Water on the Composition of Magmas Formed at High Pressures   总被引：4，自引：3，他引：4

Portions of the system MgO-CaO-Na2O-Al2O3-SiO2-H2O have beenstudied in the pressure range 13–35 kb at near-liquidustemperatures. The liquidus field of forsterite relative to thatof orthopyroxene is considerably wider under anhydrous thanunder anhydrous conditions and it covers part of the plane ofsilica-saturation in a wide pressure range. Partial meltingof simple garnet lherzolite (= forsterite+orthopyroxene+clinopyroxene+garnet)with water produces quartz-normative liquids at pressures upto at least 25 kb regardless of water content. Hydrous mineralsare not encountered at or near the solidus temperatures exceptin a Na-rich part of the system. Microprobe analysis of therun products in this synthetic system shows that the liquid(glass) in equilibrium with the lherzolite mineral assemblageis silica and alumina-rich at 20 kb under vapor-present conditions.With increasing degree of partial melting, the liquid changesits composition, passing into a ‘vapour-absent region’and becoming less silicic. Fractional crystallization of olivinetholeiitic magma under hydrous conditions also produces silica-richmagmas at high pressures. If the system is open to water, andwater pressure is less than total pressure, the compositionof the liquid varies from quartz-normative to olivine (±nepheline)-normativedepending on water pressure. It is suggested that in the presenceof water, silica-rich magmas such as those of calc-alkalic andesiteor dacite may be formed by direct partial melting of the peridotiticupper mantle at depths down to about 80 km. A large degree ofpartial melting of lherzolite under hydrous conditions wouldproduce SiO2 and MgO-rich magmas. The clinoenstatite rock fromCape Vogel, Papua, may have been formed by such a process. Peridotiteswith low CaAl2SiO5/jadeite ratios in the clinopyroxene couldproduce nepheline-normative magma by small degree of partialmelting and tholeiitic magma by large degree of partial meltingunder hydrous conditions.  相似文献

Multianvil melting experiments in the system CaO–MgO–Al2O3–SiO2–CO2(CMAS–CO2) at 3–8 GPa, 1340–1800°C, involvingthe garnet lherzolite phase assemblage in equilibrium with CO2-bearingmelts, yield continuous gradations in melt composition betweencarbonatite, kimberlite, melilitite, komatiite, picrite, andbasalt melts. The phase relations encompass a divariant surfacein P–T space. Comparison of the carbonatitic melts producedat the low-temperature side of this surface with naturally occurringcarbonatites indicates that natural magnesiocarbonatites couldbe generated over a wide range of pressures >2·5 GPa.Melts analogous to kimberlites form at higher temperatures alongthe divariant surface, which suggests that kimberlite genesisrequires more elevated geotherms. However, the amount of waterfound in some kimberlites has the potential to lower temperaturesfor the generation of kimberlitic melts by up to 150°C,provided no hydrous phases are present. Compositions resemblinggroup IB and IA kimberlites are produced at pressures around5–6 GPa and 10 GPa, respectively, whereas the compositionsof some other kimberlites suggest generation at higher pressuresstill. At pressures <4 GPa, an elevated geotherm producesmelilitite-like melt in the CMAS–CO2 system rather thankimberlite. Even when a relatively CO2-rich mantle compositioncontaining 0·15 wt % CO2 is assumed, kimberlites andmelilitites are produced by <1% melting and carbonatitesare generated by even smaller degrees of melting of <0·5%.

The Volume and Composition of Melt Generated by Extension of the Lithosphere   总被引：111，自引：2，他引：111  
Calculation of the volume and composition of magma generatedby lithospheric extension requires an accurate mitial geotherm,and knowledge of the variation and composition of the melt fractionas a function of pressure and temperature. The relevant geophysicalobservations are outlined, and geotherms then obtained fromparameterized convective models. Experimental observations whichconstrain the solidus and liquidus at various pressures aredescribed by simple empirical functions. The variation in meltfraction is then parameterized by requiring a variation from0 on the solidus to 1 on the liquidus. The composition of the melts is principally controlled by themelt fraction, though those of FeO, MgO, and SiO2 in additionvary with pressure. Another simple parameterization allows theobserved compositions of major elements in 91 experiments tobe calculated with a mean error of 1.1%, and those of TiO2 andNa2O to 0.3%. These expressions are then used to calculate theexpected compositions of magma produced by adiabatic upwelling.The mean major element composition of the most magnesium-richMORB glasses resemble the mean composition calculated for amantle potential temperature Tp of 1280?C. Adiabatic meltingduring upwelling of mantle of this temperature generates a meltthickness of 7 km. The observed variations of the MgO and TiO2concentrations in a large collection of MORB glass compositionssuggest that extensive low pressure fractional crystallizationoccurs, but that its effect on the concentrations of SiO2, Al2O3,and CaO is small. There is no evidence that normal oceanic crustis produced from magmas containing more than 11% MgO. The mantlepotential temperature within hot rising jets is about 1480?Cand can generate 27 km of magma containing 17% MgO. Extension of the continental lithosphere generates little meltunless ß> 2 and Tp> 1380?C. The melts generatedby larger values of ß or of Tp are alkali basalts,and change to tholeiites as the amount of melting increases.Large quantities of melt can be generated, especially at continentalmargins, where estimates of ß obtained from changesin crustal thickness will in general be too small.  相似文献

In the early Proterozoic Wopmay Orogen (Northwest Territories,Canada), the occurrence of garnet-biotite-sillimanite/kyanite-plagioclase-quartzassemblages in pelitic schists at a variety of obliquely exposedstructural levels enables the use of calibrated geothermometersand geobarometers through 30 km of composite structural relief.Direct derivation of multipoint P-T paths from single garnetsis attained from core-to-rim microprobe analyses of zoned poikiloblasticgarnets, which contain biotite, plagioclase, quartz, and lesscommonly Al2SiO5 inclusions. The documented garnet zoning andthe entrapment of the mineral inclusions is compatible withpartial-equilibrium growth models. The lack of significant diffusionre-equilibration in the garnet interiors is favored by samplerestriction to medium-grade schists and is attested by the preservationof normal-zoning profiles, the lack of garnet diffusion babesaround biotite inclusions, the matching composition trends ofgarnet-core to -rim plagioclase inclusions with those of zonedmatrix plagioclase grains, and the systematic variation of thederived P-T data. Only the garnet rims, which are characterizedby a reversal of compositional trends and by textural resorption,are interpreted to indicate local post-thermal-peak re-equilibration. The calculated P-T paths quantify segments of uplift trajectoriescorresponding to pressure drops of 2?5–1?5 kb from maximaof 9?3–5?0 kb depending on structural level. This is concurrentwith initial increases of 25–75?C to peak-temperatureconditions and is followed by variable drops in temperatureduring continued decompression. Individual paths are consistentwith modelled variations of metamorphic conditions as a functionof loading, uplift, and erosion in overthrust terrains. Consideredwith U-Pb zircon geochronological data the P-T paths, studiedas a set, indicate an average uplift rate that varies spatiallyfrom 1?5–2?7 mm y–1. This variation can be relatedto late cross folding of the orogenic internal zone, suggestingthat the syn-metamorphic uplift was structurally controlled.The distribution of peak-temperature conditions attained duringdecompression is independent of structural depth. This, andthe inverted metamorphism documented in the Wopmay Orogen, requirethat final variations in temperature result from thermal relaxationof isotherms in, and away from, a hot crustal allochthon composedin part of high-T rift-fill units and a syntectonic graniticbatholith.  相似文献
