The mutual solubility in the system corundum–hematite[-(Al, Fe3+)2O3] was investigated experimentally using bothsynthetic and natural materials. Mixtures of -Al2O3 and -Fe2O3(weight ratios of 8:2 and 10:1) were used as starting materialsfor synthesis experiments in air at 800–1300°C withrun times of 7–34 days. Experiments at 8–40 kbarand 490–1100°C were performed in a piston-cylinderapparatus (run times of 0·8–7·4 days) usinga natural diasporite consisting of 60–70 vol. % diasporeand 20–30 vol. % Ti-hematite. During the diasporite–corunditetransformation, the FeTiO3 component (12–18 mol %) ofTi-hematite only slightly increased, implying that oxygen fugacitywas maintained at high values. Run products were studied byelectron microprobe and X-ray diffraction (Rietveld) techniques.An essentially linear volume of mixing exists in the solid solutionwith a slight positive deviation at the hematite side. Up to1000°C, corundum contains <4 mol % Fe2O3 and hematite<10 mol % Al2O3; at 1200°C these amounts increase to9·3 and 17·0 mol %, respectively. At 1300°Chematite was no longer stable and coexists with the orthorhombic phase . The present results agree with corundum (solvus) compositions obtained inprevious studies but indicate a larger solubility of Al in hematite.The miscibility gap in the solution can be modelled with anasymmetric Margules equation with interaction parameters (2uncertainties): ; ; ; . Application of the corundum–hematite solution as a solvus geothermometer is limited because of thescarcity of suitable rock compositions.

Significant petrogenetic processes governing the geochemicalevolution of magma bodies include magma Recharge (includingformation of ‘quenched inclusions’ or enclaves),heating and concomitant partial melting of country rock withpossible ‘contamination’ of the evolving magma body(Assimilation), and formation and separation of cumulates byFractional Crystallization (RAFC). Although the importance ofmodeling such open-system magma chambers subject to energy conservationhas been demonstrated, the effects of concurrent removal ofmagma by eruption and/or variable assimilation (involving imperfectextraction of anatectic melt from wall rock) have not been considered.In this study, we extend the EC-RAFC model to include the effectsof Eruption and variable amounts of assimilation, A. This model,called EC-E'RAFC, tracks the compositions (trace elements andisotopes), temperatures, and masses of magma body liquid (melt),eruptive magma, cumulates and enclaves within a composite magmaticsystem undergoing simultaneous eruption, recharge, assimilationand fractional crystallization. The model is formulated as aset of 4 + t + i + s coupled nonlinear differential equations,where the number of trace elements, radiogenic and stable isotoperatios modeled are t, i and s, respectively. Solution of theEC-E'RAFC equations provides values for the average temperatureof wall rock (Ta), mass of melt within the magma body (Mm),masses of cumulates (Mct), enclaves (Men) and wall rock () and the masses of anatectic melt generated () and assimilated (). In addition, t trace element concentrations and i + s isotopic ratios inmelt and eruptive magma (Cm, m, m), cumulates (Cct, m, m), enclaves(Cen, , ) and anatectic melt (Ca, , ) as a function of magma temperature (Tm) are also computed. Input parametersinclude the (user-defined) equilibration temperature (Teq),a factor describing the efficiency of addition of anatecticmelt () from country rock to host magma, the initial temperatureand composition of pristine host melt (, , , ), recharge melt (, , , ) and wall rock (, , , ), distribution coefficients (Dm, Dr, Da) and their temperaturedependences (Hm, Hr, Ha), latent heats of transition (meltingor crystallization) for wall rock (ha), pristine magma (hm)and recharge magma (hr) as well as the isobaric specific heatcapacity of assimilant (Cp,a), pristine (Cp,m) and recharge(Cp,r) melts. The magma recharge mass and eruptive magma massfunctions, Mr(Tm) and Me(Tm), respectively, are specified apriori. Mr(Tm) and Me(Tm) are modeled as either continuous orepisodic (step-like) processes. Melt productivity functions,which prescribe the relationship between melt mass fractionand temperature, are defined for end-member bulk compositionscharacterizing the local geologic site. EC-E'RAFC has potentialfor addressing fundamental questions in igneous petrology suchas: What are intrusive to extrusive ratios (I/E) for particularmagmatic systems, and how does this factor relate to rates ofcrustal growth? How does I/E vary temporally at single, long-livedmagmatic centers? What system characteristics are most profoundlyinfluenced by eruption? What is the quantitative relationshipbetween recharge and assimilation? In cases where the extractionefficiency can be shown to be less than unity, what geologiccriteria are important and can these criteria be linked to fieldobservations? A critical aspect of the energy-constrained approachis that it requires integration of field, geochronological,petrologic, and geochemical data, and, thus, the EC-ERAFC ‘systems’approach provides a means for answering broad questions whileunifying observations from a number of disciplines relevantto the study of igneous rocks.

On the basis of experiments presented in Part I of this series,most of the published thermobarometers relevant to four-phaseperidotites are tested here for their ability to reproduce experimentalconditions. They were rejected if any systematic discrepancyin either pressure or temperature was discernible. This testcautions against the use of all published versions of thermometersbasad on the compositions of coexisting ortho- and clinopyroxenesand the use of existing barometers based on the Al content oforthopyroxene axxisting with garnet. Therefore, we formulatednew versions of the two-pyroxene thermometer and the Al-in-opxbarometer: with and is in degress Kelvin and P is in kilobars. Our new barometer is of the form (C1–C3) and site occupancies are given in the text. Temperatures may also be calculated from the Ca content of opxalone: This thermometer can be applied both to the CMS and the naturalsystem experiments, which may indicate that Fe and Na have counter-balancingeffects on the Ca content of opx. The partitioning of Na between opx and cpx can also serve asa useful thermometer, and was calibrated from natural rock data: where T is in degrees Kelvin, P is in kilobars, and DNa=Naopx/Nacpx. The following three published thermobarometers based on furtherexchange reactions are capable of reprducing experimental conditions:
  1. exchangeof Ca between olivine and clinopyroxene as a barometer(PKB),
  2. exchange of Fe and Mg between garnet and clinopyroxene asathermometer (TKrogh),
  3. exchange of Fe and Mg between garnetand olivine as a thermometer(TO'Neiii).
Our tests also show that the most accurate pressure and temperatureestimates arc obtained from the following combinations of thermometersand barometers:
  1. TBKN+PBKN,
  2. TBKN+PKB,
  3. TKrogh+PBKN,
  4. TO'Ne$$$ll+PBKN.

Subsolidus phase relations have been determined in the systemsSiO2-Cr-0 and MgO-SiO2-Cr-O in equilibrium with metallic Cr,at 1100–1500C and 0–288 kbar. There are no ternaryphases in the SiO2-Cr-O system at these conditions, ie. onlythe assemblage eskolaite + Cr-metal + SiO2 is found. However,in the MgO-containing system, extensive substitution of Cr2+for Mg is observed in (Mg,Cr2+)2SiO4 olivine, (Mg,Cr2+)2Si2O6pyroxene, and (Mg,Cr2+)Cr3+204 spinel. Cr 3+ levels in olivineand pyroxene are below detection limits. The pyroxene is orthorhombicat monoclinic at higher . The structure of the spinels becomestetragonally distorted at is limited by the breakdown of olivine to pyroxene + spinel+ metal. This maximum amount increases strongly with increasingtemperature, reaching >0.2 at 1500C and 48 kbar. Increasing pressure reduces the maximum. Increasing temperature also increases the maximum amounts of Cr2+ which substitute intopyroxene and spinel, indicating that end-member Cr2Si206 andCr3O4 may become stable above 1650C if melting does not intervene.Powder X-ray diffraction analysis of selected runs has beenused to extract molar volumes of the Mg-Cr2+ solid solutionsas a function of composition, which may be extrapolated to predictmolar volumes for Cr2SiO4 (olivine), Cr2Si2O6 (ortho- and clino-pyroxene)and Cr2O4 (cubic spinel) of 477, 680 and 449 cm3, respectively.The experimental data have been fitted to a thermodynamic model,including free energies of formation for end member Cr2SiO4,Cr2Si2O6 and Cr3O4. This model is then used to predict the amountsof Cr2+ which can be expected in olivine in equilibrium withCr-bearing spinel as a function of T, P and fo2. This amountincreases strongly with temperature along standard T-fo2 buffercurves, and is sufficient to explain the observed high Cr contentsof olivine from komatiites and diamond inclusions at reasonableterrestrial fo, values. The lower fo2 of the lunar environmentresults in significant Cr2+ in olivine being stable to muchlower temperatures. The tendency for the oxidation state ofCr, and hence its geochemical properties, to change with temperaturerelative to other redox reactions makes it a potentially usefulmonitor of the temperatures of uppermantle processes, and isa significant factor in the differing styles of igneous differentiationin the Earth and Moon.

The most recent of two metamorphic events (M2) in the Snow Peakarea caused progressive changes in mineral parageneses in peliticrocks ranging from chlorite-biotite to kyanite grade. Systematicpartitioning of elements between coexisting phases indicatesa close approach to equilibrium during M2. Temperature estimatesfor M2 range from 440 ?C in the chlorite-biotite zone to 565?C in the kyanite zone. Coexistence of kyanite, garnet, ilmenite,and quartz places an upper pressure limit of approximately 60kb, and an upper temperature limit at the kyanite-sillimaniteboundary. Equilibrium of garnet, kyanite, plagioclase, and quartzindicates that total pressure of equilibration of kyanite-bearingassemblages was approximately 6 kb. Pressure estimates basedon equilibrium of garnet, muscovite, biotite, and plagioclaseindicate a pressure gradient between garnet and lower staurolitezone samples, which equilibrated at approximately 3? 5 kb, andupper staurolite to kyanite zone samples, which equilibratedat 5? 5 kb. Equilibrium of paragonite component of muscovitewith plagioclase, kyanite and quartz, distribution of speciesin C-O-H fluids in equilibrium with graphite, and the presenceof zoisite in adjacent calc-silicate rocks indicate that themetamorphic fluid in kyanite-bearing assemblages contained 65-90mole per cent H2O. However, the experimentally calibrated equilibriumof staurolite, quartz, garnet, and kyanite can be reconciledwith estimated temperature only if XH2O in the fluid was verylow ( 33 mole per cent). T-X(Fe-Mg) relations among chlorite, biotite, garnet, staurolite,kyanite, muscovite and quartz are calculated at 6 kb on thebasis of 3 independent Fe-Mg exchange equilibria: garnet-biotite,chlorite-biotite (empirical, this study), garnet-staurolite(empirical, this study), and three independent net transferequilibria. Alternative sets of data for Mg-chlorite and Fe-stauroliteare evaluated by comparing observed and calculated changes inmineral paragenesis and mineral composition with grade. Chloritedata from Helgeson et al., 1978 give T-X(Fe-Mg) relations consistentwith trends observed in these rocks, whereas data derived frombreakdown of clinochlore and clinochlore + dolomite do not.Calculation of T-X(Fe-Mg) relations consistent with observationsrequires lower values of and than those consistent with experiments on the breakdown of staurolite+quartz.  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

Field, petrologic and geochemical data were used to characterizefluid infiltration and partial melting during metamorphism ofpelitic rocks in the contact aureole of the Onawa pluton, centralMaine, USA. Mineral assemblages delineate five metamorphic zoneswithin the contact aureole: chlorite zone, andalusite–cordierite(a–c) zone, alkali feldspar zone, sillimanite zone andleucocratic-vein (l–v) zone. The sequence of observedmineral assemblages and mineral–fluid reactions calculatedby mass balance is similar to those observed in other contactaureoles. Pressure of contact metamorphism is 3 kbar, on thebasis of optimum geothermobarometry calculations. Metamorphictemperatures vary from 500C in the andalusite–cordieritezone to 65OC in the leucocratic-vein zone. Data from fieldobservations, mineral textures, observed reaction stoichiometry,geothermometry and major-element geochemistry suggest that theleucocratic veins of the l-v zone represent crystallized, partialmelts. Two overall calculated mineral reactions are responsiblefor vein formation: which can be modeled as combinations of two NKFMTASH meltingreactions: Progress of (M1) and (M2) was measured in eight samples, andreaction (M1) is the dominant melt-forming reaction in all samples.Partial melting (and vein formation) was therefore driven byinfiltration of the l-v zone by H2O-rich fluids. Calculatedtime-integrated fluid fluxes for l-v zone samples range from09 104 to 31 104 mol/cm2, and flow was in the directionof increasing temperature.

The literature data of nine different occurrences of coexistingmineral pairs of Ca-amphibole have been studied and the bulkvectors, spanning the miscibility gap, derived. The additivecomponent is always impure Mg-tremolite accompanied by someglaucophane and cummingtonite component. The four major exchangecomponents required to describe the compositional variationin coexisting mineral pairs are the edenite (ED), tschermak's(TS), FeMg–1 and Fe3+-tschermak's (FeTs) vector. Trivalentiron is postulated on the basis of excess charges in the bulkvector the size of which coincides with residuals in Altet,–Si, Fe and –Mg. The four cations have equal sizes,forming the vector Fe3+ Altet Mg–1Si–1. This distributionscheme is consistent for all the different occurrences and setsthe basis for a comparison. Deviations from the scheme wouldradically complicate the proposed exchange pattern. The ratioTS:ED in most mineral samples fluctuates between one and two.Projection of the data points in the vector space TS–EDonto the line 1ED: 2TS (Tr–Hbl) or 1ED:1TS (Tr–Prg)provides the projected tremolite content (= 1–XHbl or = 1–Xprg). This parameter,applied to coexisting pairs, and plotted against the ratio Mg/(Mg+ Fe) shows some characteristic features about the miscibilitygap. In the Mg-pure system the solvus is almost symmetric andlocated in the temperature range between 800 and 870C. Smallamounts (0.10 pfu) of Fe2+ in the M(4) -sites and replacingCa have a dramatic effect, forcing the solvus to much lowertemperatures of 650C. An increase in the ratio Fe/(Fe + Mg)causes a shift of the solvus towards more tremolitic compositionswith temperatures 500–650C. The maximum asymmetry ofthe solvus is reached where the Al-poor member (tremolite) hasa composition of =1.0 and Mg/ (Mg + Fe) 0.6. The corresponding Al-rich member has =0.5 and Mg/ (Mg + Fe) 0.4. An anomalyof the solous is observed at Mg/ (Mg + Fe)=0.8. It manifestsas a kind of highly asymmetric ‘sub-gap’ in thetremolite-rich composition range. This is explained by the partitioningof Fe2+ into the single M(3) -site and is characterized by athermal hump to 650–700C. KEY WORDS: tremolite; hornblende; pargasite; immiscibility; solous  相似文献

Four natural peridotite nodules ranging from chemically depletedto Fe-rich, alkaline and calcic (SiO2=43?7–45?7 wt. percent, Al2O3=1?6O–8?21 wt. per cent, CaO=0?70–8?12wt. per cent,alk=0?10–0?90 wt. per cent and Mg/(Mg+Fe2+)=0?94–0?85)have been investigated in the hypersolidus region from 800?to 1250?C with variable activities of H2O, CO2, and H2. Thevapor-saturated peridotite solidi are 50–200?C below thosepreviously published. The temperature of the beginning of meltingof peridotite decreases markedly with decreasing Mg/(Mg+Fe)of the starting material at constant CaO/Al2O3. Conversely,lowering CaO/Al2O3 reduces the temperature at constant Mg/(Mg+Fe)of the starting material. Temperature differences between thesolidi up to 200?C are observed. All solidi display a temperatureminimum reflecting the appearance of garnet. This minimum shiftsto lower pressure with decreasing Mg/(Mg+Fe) of the startingmaterial. The temperature of the beginning of melting decreasesisobarically as approximately a linear function of the mol fractionof H2O in the vapor (XH2O). The data also show that some CO2may dissolve in silicate melts formed by partial melting ofperidotite. Amphibole (pargasitic hornblende) is a hypersolidus mineralin all compositions, although its P/T stability field dependson bulk rock chemistry. The upper pressure stability of amphiboleis marked by the appearance of garnet. The vapor-saturated (H2O) liquidus curve for one peridotiteis between 1250? and 1300?C between 10 and 30 kb. Olivine, spinel,and orthopyroxene are either liquidus phases or coexist immediatelybelow the temperature of the peridotite liquidus. The data suggest considerable mineralogical heterogeneity inthe oceanic upper mantle because the oceanic geotherm passesthrough the P/T band covering the appearance of garnet in variousperidotites. The variable depth to the low-velocity zone is explained byvariable aH2O conditions in the upper mantle and possibly alsoby variations in the composition of the peridotite itself. It is suggested that komatiite in Precambrian terrane couldform by direct melting of hydrous peridotite. Such melting requiresabout 1250?C compared with 1600?C which is required for drymelting. The genesis of kimberlite can be related to partial meltingof peridotite under conditions of (). Such activities of H2Oresult in melting at depths ranging between 125 and 175 km inthe mantle. This range is within the minimum depth generallyaccepted for the formation of kimberlite.  相似文献

Dehydration-melting experiments from 10 to 20 kbar were performedon a metavolcanoclastic rock containing (in vol. %) biotite(16), amphibole (15) and epidote (13) in addition to plagioclaseand quartz. At 10 and 12.5 kbar traces of biotite and epidoteremain at 850C, amphibole becomes more abundant, and the meltfraction is 5–10 vol. %. These relationships reflect thatthe thermal stability of biotite is lowered in the presenceof epidote through the dehydration-melting reaction biotite+epidote+quartz=amphibole+garnet+alkalifeldspar+melt. Amphibole dehydration-melting produces an additional25 vol. % melt between 875 and 925C. At 15 kbar and 875C themelt fraction is 22 vol. %, amphibole is present in trace amounts,and biotite constitutes 8 vol. %. These relationships suggestthat the curves marking biotite- and amphibole-out intersectclose to 15 kbar, and that the fertility of the rock increasesfrom 10 to 15 kbar at 850C. At 20 kbar the melt fraction isonly 5 vol. % at 850C, amphibole is transformed to omphaciteand biotite constitutes 5% of the mode. This result shows thatthe fertility decreases from 15 to 20 kbar at 850C, mainlybecause much Na is locked up in omphacite. Along active continentalmargins, intrusion of hot mantle-derived magmas is common, andmelting of metavolcanoclastic rocks may be an important granitoid-formingprocess. Intersection of the amphibole- and biotite-out reactionsbetween 12.5 and 15 kbar suggests that fusion of biotite- andhornblende-bearing rocks can produce magmas ranging in compositionfrom granitic (biotite dehydration-melting) to granodioritic(amphibole dehydration-melting) in either order depending onpressure.

A new method has been suggested for evaluating the overall basicityof minerals and rocks by using ionization reactions involvingone proton: (sum of cations) + H2O = mineral + H+, (sum of cations) + H2O = (sum of normative minerals of a rock)+ H+. The basicity indicators are expressed as standard free energychanges of these reactions (). At standard water pressure (logPH2O = 0) and chemical activity of the metal ions ( log Mn+= 0), the relationship between and alkalinity of solutions(pH) becomes: = –2.303 RTlog H+ = 2.303 RT pH. The overall basicities of rock-forming oxides, minerals andmajor rocks were calculated from the thermodynamic data on ionsin water solutions and solid compounds.  相似文献

The Ni-S System and Related Minerals   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  
The system Ni-S has been studied systematically from 200? to1, 030? C by means of evacuated, sealed silica-glass tube experimentsand differential thermal analyses. Compounds in the system areNi3S2 (and a high temperature, non-quenchable Ni3?S2 phase),Ni7S6, Ni1–S4 Ni3S4, and NiS2. The geologic occurrenceof the minerals heazlewoodite (Ni2S2), millerite (ßSNi1-2S),polydymite (Ni3S4), and vaesite (NiS2) can now be describedin terms of the stability ranges of their synthetic equivalents. Hexagonal heazlewoodite, which is stoichiometric within thelimit of error of the experiments, inverts on heating to a tetragonalor pseudotetragonal phase at 556? C. This high-temperature phase(Ni3 has a wide field of stability, from 23.5 to 30.5 wt percent sulfur at 600? C, and melts incongruently at 806??3? C.The ßNi7S6 phase inverts to Ni78 at 397? C6 when inequilibrium with Ni3S2, and at 400? C when in equilibrium withNiS. Crystals of Ni7S6 break down to Ni3-S2+NiS at 573??3?C.The low-temperature form of Ni1-S1 corresponding to the mineralmillerite, is rhombohedral, and the high-temperature form hasthe hexagonal NiAs structure. Stoichiometric NiS inverts at379??3?C, whereas Ni1-S with the maximum nickel deficiency invertsat 282??5OC. The Ni1-alphS-NiS2 solvus was determined to 985??3?C,the eutectic temperature of these phases. Stoichiometric NiSis stable at 600?C but breaks down to Ni2-S2 and Ni1-S below797?C, whereas Ni1-S with 38.2 wt per cent sulfur melts congruentlyat 992??3?C. Vaesite does not vary measurably from stoichiometricNiS2 composition, and melts congruently at 1.007?5?C. Polydymitebreaks down to aNi-S? vaesite at 356??3?C. Differential thermalanalyses showed the existence of a two-liquid field in the sulfur-richportion of the system above 991?C and over a wide compositionalrange.  相似文献

The isotopic compositions of Sr, Nd, Pb and O together withabundance data for Rb, Sr, Sm, Nd, U and Pb are reported forsamples from the component parts of the c. 400 Ma old EtiveComplex, temporally and spatially related Lorne and Glencoelavas, and the Dalradian country rocks into which the Complexhas been emplaced. These and published data available for otherCaledonian granites are used to evaluate the petrogenesis ofthe Etive Complex in particular, and the role of crustal recyclingin the generation and evolution of the Caledonian granites ingeneral. Nd-isotope compositions of Etive samples at 400 Ma range from – 9.9 to – 4.7 compared with–8.4 < – 3.2 for the associated volcanics investigated here, and an estimatedvalue for depleted mantle 400 Ma ago at approximately ? 7. Dalradiancountry rocks have – 23.4 < – 7.5 and two partially digested metasedimentaryxenoliths within the granite have values of –9. 3 and -4.0. Initial 87Sr/ 86Sr ratios forthe Etive Complex range from 0–7043 to 0–7079, whereasDalradian metasediment in the immediate vicinity of the granitehas an initial ratio of 0–726. Oxygen isotopes in theComplex have 7. 6 per mil <18O < 10.0 per mil, all inexcess of typical values of mantle oxygen and reflect a crustalcomponent. An upper limit of 25 per cent Dalradian assimilationis set by the Nd-Sr isotopic variations with the granites andxenoliths. The Etive complex parent magma prior to Dalradian xenolith assimilationis estimated to have values between – 10 and – 5. In order to satisfy the Srand Pb isotope composition, additional components from a deepersource within the lithosphere (lower crust or continental lithosphericmantle) with relatively unradiogenic Sr, Nd and Pb are required. The crustal residence ages of the Etive Complex average about1.5 Ga, similar to those of many other late and post-tectonicCaledonian granites. The generation of the Etive Complex andCaledonian granites in general has been dominated by recyclingof the continental lithosphere, rather than the addition ofnew material from asthenospheric sources.  相似文献

Aluminous granulites of the Archean (2?8 Ga) Kasai craton (Zaire)consist of two main mineral assemblages: Grt-Opx and Sil?Grt?Crdrocks. The high-grade metamorphic conditions as deduced from Grt-Opxand Grt-Opx-Pl-Qtz equilibria are 720?C-6?7 kb. Consideringthe zoning of the same minerals, the slope of the P-T path isestimated at 15 b/?C. Thermobarometry involving Crd is consistentwith those P-T conditions. Three cordierite-forming reactions have been observed petrographically: These equilibria are continuous reactions; end-member reactionshave slopes less than 15 b/?C; they are decompression reactionsoccurring after the metamorphic climax. Using available thermodynamic data, (R3) fixes the oxygen fugacityto a value below the QFM buffer (log10fO2 = – 17?6 at720?C, 6?7 kb and in the graphite stability field. The absence of graphite in the rocks showsthat the end of the granulite facies metamorphism did not occurunder important CO2 streaming. The polymetamorphic history of this Archean craton is considered.  相似文献

Experimental Petrology of Melilite Nephelinites   总被引：3，自引：1，他引：3  
Experimental study of natural melilite nephelinite lavas ofintermediate K/Na ratio at low pressure (fo2 reveals the presenceof a peritectic ‘point’ of distributary type (1090?C)for liquids saturated with leucite, nepheline, and spinel. Withdecreasing temperature on the olivine + melilite cotectic, botholivine and melilite react with such liquids to produce high-calciumpyroxene at the peritectic. Both the olivine + high-calciumpyroxene and melilite + high-calcium pyroxene cotectics arestable at temperatures below the peritectic. Olivines coexistingwith such liquids are much more magnesian than those in comparabletholeiitic liquids. The olivine-liquid Fe-Mg distribution coefficient is a monotonically increasing function of silica activity over the composition range spannedby melilite nephelinite, ugandite, alkali basalt, and tholeiitebasalt liquids. The analogous Fe-Mg distribution coefficientfor melilite and liquid is effectively constant , while that for high-calcium pyroxene and liquidis highly dependent on the chemistry of high-calcium pyroxene(cf., Sack & Carmichael, 1984). Pseudoternary liquidus projectionsof multiply saturated liquids coexisting with nepheline, leucite,and spinel (?olivine?high-calcium pyroxene?melilite) have beenprepared to facilitate graphical analysis of the evolution oflava compositions during hypabyssal cooling. Major element chemicalanalyses and petrographic features of lavas from Mt. Nyiragongo,East Africa and Oahu, Hawaii (e.g., Denaeyer et al., 1965; Wilkinson& Stolz, 1983) confirm the validity of these diagrams andthe systematics established from the experimental data. *Reprint requests to R.O.

Pan-African high-grade metamorphism in the Kerala KhondaliteBelt (South India) led to the in situ formation of garnet-bearingleucosomes (L1) in sodic quartz—alkali feldspar—biotitegneisses. Microtextures, mineralogy and the geochemical characteristicsof in situ leucosomes (L1) and gneiss domains (GnD) indicatethat the development of leucosomes was mainly controlled bythe growth of garnet at the expense of biotite. This is documentedby the selective transfer of FeO, MgO, , Sm and the heavy rareearth elements into the L1 domains. P-T constraints (T>800C,P>6kbar, aH2O0.3) suggest that the leucosomes were formedthrough complete melting of biotite in fluid-absent conditions,following the model reaction Biotite+Alkali feldspar+QuartzlGarnet+Ilmenite+Melt.The fraction of melt generated during this process was low (<10vol.%). The identical size of the leucosomes as well as theirhomogeneous and isotropic distribution at outcrop scale, whichlacks any evidence for melt segregation, suggest that the migmatiteremained a closed system. Subsequent to migmatization, the leptyniticgneisses were intruded by garnet-bearing leucogranitic melts(L2), forming veins parallel and subperpendicular to the foliation.The leucogranites are rich in potassium (K2O5.5 wt%), (Ba400p.p.m.) and Sr (300 p.p.m.), and exhibit low concentrationsof Zr (40 p.p.m.), Th (<1 p.p.m.) and (<10 p.p.m.). Thechondrite-normalized REE spectra show low abundances (LaN20,LuN3) and are moderately fractionated (LaN/LuN7). An Eu anomalyis absent or weakly negative. The higher 87Sr/86Sr ratio at550 Ma (0.7345) compared with the migmatite (0.7164) precludesa direct genetic relationship between leptynitic gneisses andleucogranites at Manali.Nevertheless, the chemical and mineralogicalcompositions of the leuocogranites strongly favour a derivationthrough fluid-absent biotite melting of isotopically distinctbut chemically comparable Manali-type gneisses. The undersaturationof Zr, Th and REE, a typical feature of leucogranitic meltsgenerated during granulite facies anatexis of psammo-peliticlithologies and attributed to disequilibrium melting with incompletedissolution of accessory phases (zircon, monazite), is weaklydeveloped in the leucogranites of Manali.It is concluded thatthis is mainly due to the sluggish migration of the melts instatic conditions, which facilitated equilibration with therestitic gneisses. *Fax: 0228-732763; e-mail: ingo.braun{at}uni-bonn.de  相似文献

The garnet–muscovite (GM) geothermometer and the garnet–muscovite–plagioclase–quartz(GMPQ) geobarometer have been simultaneously calibrated underconditions of T = 450–760°C and P = 0·8–11·1kbar, using a large number of metapelitic samples in the compositionalranges = 0·53–0·81, = 0·05–0·24, = 0·03–0·23 in garnet, = 0·17–0·74 in plagioclase, and Fe = 0·04–0·16, Mg =0·04–0·13, AlVI = 1·74–1·96in muscovite on the basis of 11 oxygens. The resulting GM thermometeryielded similar temperature estimates (mostly within ±50°C)to that of the garnet–biotite thermometer, and successfullydiscerned the expected systematic temperature change of progradesequences, thermal contact zones and an inverted metamorphiczone. The resulting GMPQ barometer yielded similar pressureestimates (mostly within ±1·0 kbar) to the garnet–aluminumsilicate–plagioclase–quartz (GASP) barometer andplaced the aluminosilicate-bearing samples in the appropriatealuminosilicate stability fields. Application of the GMPQ barometerto thermal contact aureoles or rocks within limited geographicalareas confirmed the expected constant pressures that shouldexist in these settings. The random errors of the GM thermometerand the GMPQ barometer are estimated to be ±16°Cand ±1·5 kbar, respectively. When biotite or aluminosilicateis absent in metapelites, metamorphic P–T conditions maybe determined by simultaneously applying the GM thermometerand the GMPQ barometer.

A new thermobarometer, based on the equilibrium: has been calibrated with experiments carried out in the piston-cylinderapparatus. Reversed equilibria were obtained using well-calibrated2.54 cm NaCl furnace assemblies and Ag80Pd20capsules with fO2bufferedat or near iron-wustite. The equilibrium is located between5.2–5.4, 6.6–6.8, and 8.6–8.8 kb at 880, 940,and 1020?C, respectively, and at 5.2 and 8.8 kb between 865–880and 1020–1030?C, respectively. X-ray refinement data indicate that the hercynite (a = 8.15546?) has approximately 18 per cent inverse character. M?ssbauerspectra reveal that 4 mol per cent of the Fe is ferric (2 percent magnetite component). Broad Mossbauer lines and a Fe2+energy level splitting of 3.7 kJ mol–1 calculated fromthe Mossbauer spectra are consistent with the X-ray determineddegree of inversion, although no separate octahedral Fe2+ spectraldoublet is resolved. Calibration of this equation allows calculation of the equilibrium: Thermobarometers based on the above equilibria are widely applicablein granulite fades rocks and yield pressure/temperature datathat are consistent with other well-calibrated barometers andthermometers.  相似文献

An oxygen and hydrogen isotopic study of minerals and wholerocks from the granites of the Mourne Mountains Tertiary complex,and related rocks, shows that whereas a significant circulationof meteoric water was associated with the complex, it had onlyminor and localized effects on the granites themselves. TheSilurian slate and greywacke country rocks, which would havehad 18O(SMOW) values of +10 to +20 before the Tertiary igneousevents, have been depicted 18O to values of –40 to –05Tertiary acid minor intrusions outside the main granite massesare also 18O depleted. l8O whole-rock data on the granites showa range of +6.0 to +9.5, and include values significantly higherthan most of those obtained for the granites of the Tertiarycentral complexes of Skye, Mull, and Ardnamurchan. Many of thelowest whole-rock 18O values are found in samples where theminerals are not in isotopic equilibrium. The mineral oxygenisotopic data can be explained in terms of localized interactionwith meteoric water, resulting in preferential 18O depletionin feldspar(s) and biotite, with quartz being much less affected.The granites all show low values of D(SMOW) for biotite andamphibole separates (–137 to –104). The lowest valuesoccur close to the margins of the plutons, near internal contactsor near greisen localities, and these probably reflect limitedinteraction with meteoric water. The higher D values are fromsamples which show evidence of chloritization. This processappears to have occurred both during interaction with meteoricwater, and also during autometasomatism by an exsolved magmaticfluid in other parts of the plutons, including central locationswhere there is little or no evidence for the penetration ofmeteoric water. Granite samples which exhibit near-equilibriumoxygen isotope fractionations for constituent minerals are characterizedby magmatic O-isotopic compositions. The G2 granite, the largestpluton of the eastern centre, has a magmatic 18O(SMOW) valueof {small tilde}+95; intrusions G3 (eastern centre) and G4(western centre) both have 18O(SMOW) values of {small tilde}+90.The other two main intrusive phases have distinctly lower 18O(SMOW)values: {small tilde}+75 for Gl (the least fractionated graniteof the Mourne Mountains central complex), and from +75 to +85for G5. The oxygen isotopic data rule out simple partial meltingof the country rocks as the origin of the granites and alsopreclude an origin by closed-system fractional crystallizationof basaltic magma typical of that represented by Tertiary basicigneous rocks of the region. * Present address: NERC Isotope Geosciences Laboratory, Keyworth, Nottingham BG12 5GG, UK Present address: School of Engineering Technology, Georgian College, Barrie, Ontario, L4M 3X9, Canada  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
