A clinopyroxene suite from leucite–bearing lavas locatedin the Sabatini district of the Roman Volcanic Region has beeninvestigated by single–crystal X–ray diffractionmethods combined with electron probe microanalysis. The main aim of the study was to obtain crystallographic datanecessary to evaluate intracrystaUine order–disorder relationshipsin natural clinopyroxenes and related equilibria–disequilibriaphenomena in different host–rock types. Generally, the polyhedral site configurations of the clinopyroxenesinvestigated are interdependent and follow specific variationtrends related to specific host–rock types. The majorvariations are found in the tetrahedron and the octahedron;while the polyhedron M2 is essentially unchanged and occupiedby(Ca+Na). The degree of Mg–Fe²⁺; ordering in M1–M2, respectively,depends on the configuration of these sites, particularly M2,and is generally lower in late–crystallized (rim) clinopyroxenesthan in the corresponding higher–temperature (core) fromthe same crystals. This is' attributed to configuration relationshipsunfavourable to the Mg–Fe²⁺ ordering and largely dependingon the occupancy of M2. Polygenetic, early–crystallized clinopyroxenes, occasionallywith resorbed margins, indicate crystal-liquid disequilibriarelated to crystal and–or magma mixing processes.  相似文献   

Intracrystalline relationships in olivine,orthopyroxene, clinopyroxene and spinel from a suite of spinel lherzolite xenoliths from Mt. Noorat,Victoria, Australia     

A. Cundari  A. Dal Negro  E. M. Piccirillo  A. Della Giusta  L. Secco 《Contributions to Mineralogy and Petrology》1986,94(4):523-532

A detailed crystal chemical study of coexisting olivine, orthopyroxene, clinopyroxene and spinel from selected Victorian (Australia) lherzolite suites was carried out by means of single crystal x-ray diffraction and electron probe microanalysis to obtain actual site occupancies. The aim of this study was primarily to characterise the intracrystalline configurations and related cation ordering on sites in major mantle constituents. The results demonstrate that cation ordering on sites is subject to distinctive crystallographic controls which depend on the petrological evolution of the suite. Mg-Fe²⁺ ordering in M1–M2 pyroxene sites depends on variations of the smaller cations, mainly Al^vi, Ti⁴⁺, Fe³⁺, and related configurations of M 1. Pressuresensitive Al^vi is crucial to Fe²⁺, the more ordered clinopyroxene showing high Al^vi configurations which tend to exclude the larger bivalent cations and yield small polyhedral volumes for M 1, M 2, T sites and the unit cell. Conversely, the coexisting orthopyroxene, characterised by lower Al^vi configuration and higher M 1 and unit cell volumes, is relatively more disordered. Olivine is consistent with the coexisting clinopyroxene, the more disordered crystals coexisting with more disordered clinopyroxene, while Al-Mg order in the coexisting spinel shows the reverse relationship. Estimated temperatures of apparent equilibration based on current geothermometers are not considered realistic. Assumptions of ideal cation mixing on sites in pyroxene and spinel are not supported.  相似文献   

Multiple origins of clinopyroxenes in alkali basaltic rocks     

Suzanne Y. Wass 《Lithos》1979,12(2):115-132

Geochemical and textural data on clinopyroxenes in individual alkali basaltic flows from provinces in eastern Australia and the Massif Central can be used to differentiate four different modes of origin (three at high pressure) for these clinopyroxenes. Many single flows from the two provinces contain clinopyroxenes of three, or even four, of these origins. Rare flows contain core clinopyroxene with overgrowths of clinopyroxenes of two distinct generation. Each of the overgrowth is compositionally analogous to clinopyroxenes occurring in xenoliths or as discrete crystals in the same host lava. Such rimming relationships provide evidence that the host magma has undergone high pressure crystallisation and confirm that some xenoliths and megacrysts are cognate. With decreasing pressure the major changes in clinopyroxene chemistry are an increase in the ratio Al^lv/Al^vi, a linear increase of atomic proportions of Ti and Al with decreasing Si, and an increase in the Ti: (100 Mg/(Mg + Σ Fe)) ratio of the pyroxenes. Al₂O₂ wt, % is an unreliable potential geobarometric indicator; consideration of tetrahedral and octahedral site occupancies by Al (Al^lv/Al^vl ratio) is necessary. High-pressure fractionation dominated by clinopyroxene is postulated for some basaltic-composition, resulting in SiO₂ depletion, alkali enrichment and decrease in the Mg/(Mg + Fe²⁺) value of the host magma.  相似文献   

A clinopyroxene geobarometer for basaltic systems based on crystal-structure modeling   总被引：9，自引：0，他引：9  

Paolo Nimis 《Contributions to Mineralogy and Petrology》1995,121(2):115-125

 The crystal chemical response of basalt clinopyroxene to increasing pressure was investigated by means of crystal-structure simulation (a procedure that enables modeling of the structural parameters of a clinopyroxene of known chemistry without requiring direct X-ray diffraction analysis) using available experimental chemical data. Pressure proved the main physical variable governing clinopyroxene behavior in a magmatic environment. The general internal consistency of the simulation data permitted construction of an empirical geobarometer based on the relationship of cell volume (Vc) vs M1-site volume (VM1). The straightforward geobarometric formulation in the absence of direct X-ray analysis is: P(kbar)=698.443+4.985⋅Al_T−26.826⋅Fe²⁺ _M1−3.764⋅Fe³⁺ +53.989⋅Al_M1+3.948⋅Ti+14.651⋅Cr −700.431⋅Ca−666.629⋅Na−682.848⋅Mg_M2−691.138⋅Fe²⁺ _M2−688.384⋅Mn−6.267⋅(Mg_M2)²−4.144⋅(Fe²⁺ _M2 where: (Fe²⁺ _M1⋅Mg_M2)/(Fe²⁺ _M2⋅Mg_M1)=e^**(0.238⋅R³⁺+0.289⋅CNM−2.315), CNM=Ca+Na+Mn, and R³⁺=Al_M1+Fe³⁺+Ti+Cr, with cations in atoms per formula unit. The geobarometer reproduces experimental pressures within ±2 kbar (=1σ; max. dev. ≤5 kbar; N=29) in the range 0–24 kbar and is applicable to near-liquidus C2/c clinopyroxenes crystallized from basaltic melts in the absence of garnet (excepting high-Al₂O₃ basalts). It is therefore suitable for many natural clinopyroxenes occurring as mega- or phenocrysts or forming well-preserved cumulate pyroxenites. If the above restrictions are not wholly satisfied, the Vc vs VM1 plot can also be used qualitatively to deduce the relative pressure conditions of clinopyroxenes forming from similar batches of magma. The structural simulation of experimental data also provided insight into the influence of minor chemical changes of the parental magma on the crystal chemistry of clinopyroxene at high pressure. Within the considered compositional space at given P-T, a _CaO and a _SiO2 in the melt have opposite effects on M2- and T-site cation populations. As a result, under similar physical conditions, clinopyroxenes from higher-CaO or more undersaturated basalts have higher VM2, VT and Vc and lower VM1. For basalts with normal contents of Al₂O₃ (<18 wt %), variations of major elements in the melt do not reduce the accuracy of the geobarometer.

河北矾山杂岩体中单斜辉石的研究   总被引：3，自引：1，他引：2  

牛晓露  陈斌  马旭 《岩石学报》2009,25(2):359-373

河北矾山杂岩体属于二氧化硅不饱和的超钾质碱性-过碱性岩浆系列,由单斜辉石岩、辉石正长岩和碱长正长岩等不同类型岩石组成。各类型岩石主要组成矿物为单斜辉石、黑云母、石榴石和正长石。本文利用电子探针对单斜辉石进行了详细研究,发现所有单斜辉石属于高钙透辉石,随着岩浆的演化,主要表现为Fe²⁺对Mg²⁺的替代关系,结晶趋势为透辉石→钙铁辉石,这揭示矾山杂岩体岩浆体系的特点是高温、中等大小的氧逸度、贫硅、富碱（尤其是钾）。辉石中的Al^IV含量取决于岩浆的硅饱和度,硅越不饱和,Al^IV含量越高;Al^VI含量则与体系中的Al含量呈正相关关系。由Al对Si的替代引起的电荷不平衡主要由八面体位置的Fe³⁺来补偿,其次为少量的Ti⁴⁺和更少量的Al³⁺。体系中的Ti含量与体系的温度呈正相关关系,而Na含量则与辉石中的Ti和Fe³⁺含量成正相关关系。不同类型岩石中单斜辉石从核部到边部随着Mg^#的降低,Al、Ti含量呈现不同的演化趋势,这是因为它们于岩浆演化的不同阶段开始结晶,经历了不同的岩浆演化史。碱性岩中高钙辉石的出现和成分环带的普遍发育是由岩浆的贫硅富钾特征决定的。单斜辉石的成分不仅受控于结晶时的温度、压力条件,也受控于岩浆的总成分及其变异。  相似文献   

Crystal chemistry and evolution of the clinopyroxene in a suite of high pressure ultramafic nodules from the Newer Volcanics of Victoria,Australia

A clinopyroxene suite from lherzolite inclusions associated with the Victorian (Australia) “Newer Volcanics” has been investigated with the aim of understanding the clinopyroxene crystal-chemical response to increasing temperature (e.g. a melting model and/or crystallization processes prevailing at high pressure). The M1 clinopyroxene polyhedron dominates the intracrystalline physical-chemical variations, essentially given by the triple substitution Al^VIFe _M1 ² Ti⁴⁺⇌Cr³⁺ Fe³⁺Mg _M1 ²⁺ corresponding to an increase in the volume of M1 with increasing Mg/Mg+Fe²⁺ (mg) for the clinopyroxene. A relative Ca²⁺ increase in M2 ensures the necessary charge balance. However, Na⁺ occupancy of M2 persists to the highest mg values, i.e. maximum thermal stability, where the volume of M2 is the largest due to Fe _M2 ²⁺ depletion. The variations of M1 and M2 volumes are greater than, and opposite to, the variations in the volume of T (tetrahedron) by factors of ca. 3 and 1.5, respectively. Inclusions with relatively low clinopyroxene content (Mt. Porndon specimens) show distinct intracrystalline variations, essentially reflecting lower Al^VI, i.e. higher volume of M1, and implying a lower pressure regime compared to clinopyroxene-rich analogues (Mt. Leura specimens). The intracrystalline relationships of the Mt. Porndon clinopyroxene suggest that the host peridotite inclusions survived larger degree of mantle melting at shallower depths relative to the Leura analogues.  相似文献   

Crystal-chemistry of high-pressure clinopyroxene from spinel lherzolite nodules Mts. Leura and Noorat Suites,Victoria, Australia     

L. Secco 《Mineralogy and Petrology》1988,39(3-4):175-185

Summary The clinopyroxene suites from lherzolite nodules from Mts. Leura and Noorat (Victoria, Australia) have been investigated by X-ray diffraction and electron probe microanalyses (Dal Negro et al., 1984; Cundari et al., 1986).The evolution of the host nodule is shown by general depletion of AlIv, AVI, Ti⁴⁺, Fe²⁺ and enrichment of Si, Mgm,, Fe³⁺, Cr³⁺, Ca, while Na depletion occurs only in the clinopyroxenes from Mt. Noorat. Different mechanisms of cation substitution are thus involved in the two clinopyroxene suites, suggesting different total pressures of equilibration in the stability field of spinel.Modifications involving the M1 octahedron are mainly ascribed to variable amounts of trivalent cations, the volume of the M 1 site increasing with decreasing content of trivalent cations in each suite. The differences in M 1 site configuration between the Mt. Leura and Mt. Noorat clinopyroxene suites are ascribed to the different amounts of A1v1 and FeM,.The volume of the T tetrahedral site is generally related to A1Iv in each suite. An increase in T site volume from Mt. Leura to Mt. Noorat clinopyroxenes was found however, due to lengthening of the T-O_brg bond lengths, for similar AIIv contents. The volume of the M2 site, generally related to Ca content, was generally higher in the Noorat clinopyroxenes for similar Ca (and Ca + Na) contents, due to the longer M₂-O₃C₁ bond length, strongly related to Na content. Cell volume is linearly correlated to M 1 volume in each suite, but is definitely higher in the Noorat clinopyroxenes for similar M 1 volume. All the structural data show that the total pressure of equilibration in the Noorat clinopyroxenes was lower than that in the Leura clinopyroxenes, as suggested by chemical data.

Die Kristallchemie von hochdruck-klinopyroxenen aus spinell-lherzolithknollen von Mt. Leura und Mt. Noorat, Victoria, Australien

Zusammenfassung Die Klinopyroxenparagenesen aus Lherzolitheinschlüssen von Mt. Leura und Mt. Noorat (Victoria, Australien) wurden mittels Röntgendiffraktometrie und Elektronenmikrosonde untersucht (Dal Negro et al., 1984; Cundari et al., 1986). Die Lherzolitheinschlüsse zeigen generell eine Abnahme von Al^IV, Al^VI, Ti⁴⁺, Fe _MI ²⁺ und eine Zunahme von Si, Mgm,, Fe³⁺, Cr³⁺ und Ca. Eine Abnahme von Na tritt nur in Klinopyroxenen von Mt. Noorat auf. Verschiedene Substitutions-Mechanismen der Kationen weisen auf verschiedene Equilibrationsdrucke im Stabilitätsbereich der Spinelle hin und sind daher in den beiden Klinopyroxenserien zu berücksichtigen. Modifikationen in der oktaedrischen M1-Position wurden vor allem dem wechselnden Anteil an dreiwertigen Kationen zugeschrieben, wobei in jeder der beiden Serien das Volumen der Ml-Position mit abnehmenden Gehalten dreiwertiger Kationen zunimmt. Die unterschiedliche Konfiguration der M1-Position der Klinopyroxene von Mt. Leura und Mt. Noorat wird mit unterschiedlichen Gehalten an Al^VI und Fe _MI ²⁺ , in Zusammenhang gebracht.Das Volumen der tetraedrischen T-Position ist normalerweise mit den Gehalten an All^IV in jeder Serie verknüpft. Ein Vergleich der Klinopyroxene von Mt. Leura und Mt. Noorat zeigte jedoch, daß bei gleichen Gehalten an Al^VI das Volumen der tetraedrischen Position infolge einer Aufwertung der T-O_brg.-Bindungen zunimmt. Das Volumen der M2-Position, üblicherweise mit dem Ca-Gehalt korreliert, ist in den Klinopyroxenen von Mt. Noorat bei ähnlichen Ca (und Ca f Na) Gehalten infolge größerer M2--O₃C₁-Abstände größer. Sie stehen also mit den Na-Gehalten in Verbindung.Das Volumen der Elementarzelle korreliert mit dem der M1-Position in jeder Serie; es ist aber in den Klinopyroxenen von Mt. Noorat deutlich höher. Die Ergebnisse der Strukturuntersuchungen zeigen-wie auch die chemischen Daten-, daß die genannten Equilibrationsdrucke für die Klinopyroxene von Mt. Noorat niedriger waren als für die von Mt. Leura.

A complex magmatic system beneath the Devès volcanic field,Massif Central,France: evidence from clinopyroxene megacrysts     

A. B. Woodland  P. J. Jugo 《Contributions to Mineralogy and Petrology》2007,153(6):719-731

Clinopyroxene megacrysts and mineral aggregates with clinopyroxene occur in the volcanic deposits at Mont Briançon and Marais de Limagne, which are located in the northern part of the Devès volcanic field (Massif Central, France). The clinopyroxenes can be subdivided into five groups based upon their major and trace element chemistry. Types 1a, 1b and 1c have mg# ～0.80 and are relatively Al-rich and low in Na and Fe³⁺. Subdivision into three groups is based on differing trace element signatures. Type 2 clinopyroxenes have mg# = 0.63–0.65 and higher Na and Fe³⁺ (Fe³⁺/ΣFe > 0.4) contents and may contain apatite inclusions. A type 3 megacryst is Fe-rich (mg# = ～0.52) and has the highest Na and Fe³⁺ contents, as well as containing titanite and apatite inclusions. High Fe³⁺ contents in all clinopyroxenes investigated emphasises the need to consider Fe³⁺/Fe²⁺ when assessing the petrologic origin of such megacrysts. The large range in mg# means that the clinopyroxenes could not all have crystallised from the same melt; in fact comparison with the basanitic host lavas from the two localities reveal that nearly all of the megacrysts are xenocrystic in the strict sense. The clinopyroxenes are mostly genetically related, having crystallised from related melts within the magmatic system that had undergone various degrees of differentiation. Similarities in clinopyroxene chemistry indicate that both volcanic centres are linked to the same magmatic system at depth. Assessing the depth of crystallisation reveals that types 1a and 1b formed in the lithospheric mantle, near the asthenosphere–lithosphere boundary, whereas types 1c, 2 and 3 formed in crustal magma chambers or conduits. Eruption was induced by a pulse of Mg-rich magma from the asthenosphere that entered the existing magmatic system, entraining clinopyroxene as megacrysts at several stages of ascent, before erupting at the surface. The style of eruption at Mont Briançon (cinder cone) and Marais de Limagne (maar) is different and most likely reflects local differences in near-surface hydrology. The essentially identical variety in megacrysts at the two localities suggests that eruption must have been nearly contemporaneous.  相似文献   

Experimental and major element constraints on the evolution of lavas from Lihir Island,Papua New Guinea   总被引：5，自引：0，他引：5  

A. K. Kennedy  T. L. Grove  R. W. Johnson 《Contributions to Mineralogy and Petrology》1990,104(6):722-734

The major element chemistry of SiO₂-undersaturated arc lavas from Lihir Island, Papua New Guinea, and 1 atmosphere experiments on an alkali basalt from this island show complex polybaric fractionation affected this suite of lavas. Low Ni and MgO are typical of these arc lavas and result from olivine fractionation, probably at high pressure. Fractionation at low pressure (<5 kb) produces two evolutionary trends. Separation of clinopyroxene, plagioclase and minor olivine from the primitive lavas results in increasing normative nepheline contents and major element trends similar to those of the experiments. In contrast, addition of magnetite and amphibole to the fractionating assemblage in the evolved lavas results in decreasing normative nepheline and major element trends which are markedly different from those of the experiments. The composition of experimental glasses and 1 atmosphere liquid lines of descent, derived from anhydrous melting experiments run at the fayalite-magnetite-quartz (FMQ) buffer and at higher oxygen fugacities, are displaced from the lavas on oxide-oxide plots. HighfO₂ produces high Fe³⁺/Fe²⁺ and the early crystallization of abundant magnetite, and high H₂O contents are responsible for crystallization of amphibole. Crystal fractionation of these phases and the high Fe³⁺/Fe²⁺ are responsible for the displacement of the lavas and experimental glasses in mineral projection schemes from the 1 atmosphere olivine-clinopyroxene-plagioclase saturation boundary of Sack et al. (1987).  相似文献   

Der petrogenetische Werdegang der Klinopyroxene in den tertiären Vulkaniten der Hocheifel     

Hans Gerhard Huckenholz 《Contributions to Mineralogy and Petrology》1966,12(1):73-95

The course of crystallization of basalt forming clinopyroxenes in the olivine-basalt-hawaiite-mugearite-trachyte-and basanitoid (= basanite)-series from the Hocheifel area (Western Germany) has been presented by the author in two earlier papers (Hucken-holz, 1965 a, 1965 b). The present paper deals with the evolution of clinopyroxenes from the ankaramites in the same area. The ankaramites are richer in olivines and clinopyroxenes than the normal olivine basalts and may be a product of accumulation of olivines and clinopyroxenes in an olivine basalt magma. The first clinopyroxene formed in the ankaramites is a greenish chromian salite Ca_47.1 Mg_40.9 Fe_12.0 which is preserved in the cores of the phenocrysts. Strongly zoned brown titansalite Ca₄₅ Mg₄₂Fe₁₃ surrounds the chromian salite (HF 5) or appears in independent microphenocrysts (HF53). The groundmass clinopyroxene is titansalite Ca₄₅Mg₃₇Fe₁₈ with a small optic axial angle. Phenocrysts of nickel-rich olivine Fe_12–14 and chrome spinell were formed together with chromium clinopyroxene. The same minerals together with orthopyroxenes have been observed in the olivine basalts, hawaiites and basanitoids (= basanites). This paragenesis indicates high pressure and high temperature in the alkali basalts of the Hocheifel during an initial stage of magmatic evolution. With the decrease of pressure, mineral reaction occurred with the alkali basalt melt. The high pressure clinopyroxenes of the ankaramites and basanitoids (= basanites) were changed to a larger extent than the clinopyroxenes of the olivine basalts and hawaiites or were completely destroyed (HF 53) because they are in contact with the hot magma for a longer period of time. This favours the reaction between the solids and the melt, and the high pressure garnet and/or enstatite components in the clinopyroxenes are substituted by Ca-Tschermak’s and titanaugite molecules.   相似文献   

Clinopyroxenes from Somma-Vesuvius: Implications of Crystal Chemistry and Site Configuration Parameters for Studies of Magma Genesis     

CUNDARI  R.; SALVIULO  G. 《Journal of Petrology》1987,28(4):727-736

A clinopyroxene suite from Somma-Vesuvius clinopyroxenite cjectaand mcgacrysts has been investigated by single crystal X-raydiffraction combined with electron probe microanalysis. Theaim of the study was to characterize the intracrystalline configurationof the clinopyroxenes and delineate their possible parentalliquid(s). Vesuvius megacrysts and nodule clinopyroxenes show the initial‘signature’ of the leucitite (sensu lato) magmawhile Somma clinopyroxenes are characteristic of leucite phonolitemagma. The crystal chemical variations demonstrate that thespecimens investigated had originated by shallow-level crystallizationof leucitite and its derivatives, under reducing conditions.T-site (Si + Al) deficiency, typical of clinopyroxene from lamproitesis reported in some specimens from the Roman Volcanic Regionfor the first time. Intracrystalline Mg-Fe²⁺ ordering in M1-M2 appears to be configuration-dependent,yielding the largest K_D variation in the clinopyroxene fromphonolite. This is contrary to expectation.  相似文献   

Der petrogenetische Werdegang der Klinopyroxene in den tertiären Vulkaniten der Hocheifel II. Die Klinopyroxene der Basanitoide     

Huckenholz  Hans Gerhard 《Contributions to Mineralogy and Petrology》1965,11(5):415-448

The course of crystallization of basalt forming clinopyroxenes in the olivine basalt-hawaiite-mugearite-trachyte series from the Hocheifel area (Western Germany) has been presented by the author in, an earlier paper (Huckenholz 1964, part I). The present paper deals with the evolution of clinopyroxenes from the basanitoid rocks in the same area. The basanitoids are richer in clinopyroxenes than the normal olivine basalts and may be a product of accumulation of clinopyroxenes in an olivine basalt magma.Mineral separation is very troublesome in fine-grained volcanic rocks but special procedures (as outlined in part I) allow chemical, optical and X-ray analyses of three generations of clinopyroxenes and of other basalt forming minerals. The first clinopyroxenes formed in the basanitoids is a greenish chromian salite Ca₄₅Mg₄₃Fe₁₂ which is preserved in the cores of the phenocrysts. Strongly zoned brown titansalite Ca₄₅Mg₄₁Fe₁₄ surrounds the chromian salite or appears in independent microphenocrysts. The groundmass clinopyroxene is a sodian titansalite Ca₄₆Mg₃₇Fe₁₇ with a small optic axial angle. In contrast to the olivine basalt-trachyte series the clinopyroxenes of the basanitoids are richer in titanium and aluminum.Phenocrysts of nickel-rich olivine Fe_14–16, relics of orthopyroxene Fs₁₄ and chrome spinell were formed together with the chromian clinopyroxene. The same minerals have been observed in the olivine basalts and hawaiites. This paragenesis indicates high pressure and high temperature in the alkali basalts of the Hocheifel during an initial stage of magmatic evolution. With the decrease of pressure mineral reactions occurred with the alkali basalt melt. The high pressure clinopyroxenes of the basanitoids were changed to a larger extent than the clinopyroxenes of the olivine basalts and hawaiites because they are in contact with the magma for a longer period of time. This favours the reaction between the solids and the melt, and the high pressure garnet and/or enstatite components in the elinopyroxenes are substituted by Ca-Tschermak's and titanaugite molecule.  相似文献   

Structure refinement of a nonstoichiometric pyroxene synthesized under ambient pressure     

Masato Okui  Haruo Sawada  Fumiyuki Marumo 《Physics and Chemistry of Minerals》1998,25(5):318-322

Structure refinement was carried out on a nonstoichiometric clinopyroxene grown under the ambient pressure from a glass with composition of 23%(mol)Di+53%Es+24%An. The degree of nonstoichiometry in this crystal is significantly larger than those of clinopyroxenes reported previously, which were found in high pressure products. The refinement gave the empirical chemical formula (Ca_0.742Fe_0.087)(Mg_0.016Al_0.888Fe_0.075)(Al_0.500Si_1.500)O₆ for the crystal and showed that vacancies are located mainly at M2 sites. Despite replacement of Si by Al, the crystal has a smaller cell volume than diopside primarily owing to a significant amount of Mg at M1 being replaced by Al.

Crystal chemistry of a clinopyroxene series in ultrafemic xenoliths from North-Eastern Brazil     

F. Princivalle  L. Secco  G. Demarchi 《Contributions to Mineralogy and Petrology》1989,101(2):131-135

A series of clinopyroxenes (Cpx) in peridotitic spinel nodules from Rio Grande do Norte, North-Eastern Brazil, was investigated by X-ray diffraction and electron microprobe analyses and compared with an analogous series from spinel peridotite nodules from Mt. Leura, Victoria, Australia. The examined Cpx series is mainly characterized by increasing Mg/(Mg+Fe²⁺) ratio (i.e. increase of refractory character of the host nodules), by the substitutions of Al^vi vs Mg in the M1 site and Na vs (Ca+Mg) in the M2 site, whereas Al^iv in the T site remains substantially constant. The strong Na depletion in the Brazilian Cpx causes a different charge balance from that in the Australian Cpx, in which Na remains quite constant. This feature, associated with the differences in polyhedral and cell volumes which are significantly higher in the Brazilian Cpx than in those of the Australian Cpx, suggests that the Brazilian Cpx crystal chemistry may be related to a lower pressure regime, compared with that of the Australian Cpx series.  相似文献

The field setting, petrography, mineralogy, and geochemistry of a suite of picrite basalts and related magnesian olivine tholeiites (New Georgia arc picrites) from the New Georgia Volcanics, Kolo caldera in the active ensimatic Solomon Islands arc are presented. These lavas, with an areal extent in the order of 100² km and almost 1 km thick in places, are located close to the intersection of the Woodlark spreading zone with the Pacific plate margin. They contain abundant olivine (Fo_94-75) and diopside (Cr₂O₃ 1.1-0.4%, Al₂O₃ 1–3%), and spinels characterised by a large range in Cr/(Cr+Al) (0.85–0.46) and Mg/(Mg+ Fe⁺⁺) (0.65–0.1). The spinels are Fe⁺⁺⁺ rich, with Fe⁺⁺⁺/ (Fe⁺⁺⁺+Cr+Al) varying from 0.06 to 1.0. A discrete group of spinels with the highest Cr/(Cr+Al) (0.83–0.86) and lowest Fe⁺⁺⁺ contents are included in the most Mg-rich olivine (Fo_91–94) and both may be xenocrystal in origin.The lavas, which range between 10–28% MgO, define linear trends on oxide (element) — MgO diagrams and these trends are interpreted as olivine (0.9) clinopyroxene (0.1) control lines. For the reconstructed parent magma composition of these arc picrites, ratios involving CaO, Al₂O₃, TiO₂, Zr, V and Sc are very close to chondritic. REE patterns are slightly LREE — enriched ((La/Sm)^N 1.3–1.43) and HREE are flat. All lavas show marked enrichments in K, Rb, Sr, Ba, and LREE relative to MORB with similar MgO contents, but the TiO₂ content of the proposed parent magma is close to those of postulated primary MORB liquids. It is proposed that the arc parent magma was produced by partial melting of sub-oceanic upper mantle induced by the introduction of LILE — enriched hydrous fluids derived by dehydration and/or partial melting of subducted ocean crust and possibly minor sediments.  相似文献   

Oxidation Experiment of Natural Megacrystal Clinopyroxene: Implications for Assignment of Mössbauer Spectra     

ZHI Xiachen  CHEN Peng  LIN Chengzhong  CHEN Shuqing  ZHANG Guilan  LI Yuzhi  LIN Lei 《《地质学报》英文版》2001,75(1):51-58

The Mössbauer spectra of natural megacrystal clinopyroxene are usually fitted by 4 sets of symmetric doublets, A‐A', B‐B', C‐C' and D‐D', respectively, in terms of increasing Qs value in literature. But the assignments of those doublets are quite different, except the D‐D' doublet assigned to Fe³⁺at the lattice site M***1 in previous papers. Particularly, the assignment and interpretation of the C‐C' doublet are diverse. The oxidation experiments of natural megacrystal clinopyroxene collected from the Hannuoba basalt, North China, were performed under controlled conditions of temperature at 1000°C and oxygen fugacity of FMQ buffer in 1, 2, ***3 and 5 days respectively. The oxidized samples were then measured by X‐ray diffraction spectrometry and Mössbauer spectrometry. The oxidation of clinopyroxene is characterized by Fe²⁺ → Fe³⁺at M1 under the subsolidus conditions, which is consistent with the increase of the area of the D‐D' doublet when the heating time increases. Accordingly, the area of the A‐A' and B‐B' doublets decreases with the increasing heating time. However, the area of C‐C' keeps almost constant. Therefore, the 4 sets of doublets can be assigned correctly as follows: A‐A' doublet to Fe⁺²at M1, B‐B' Fe²⁺at M1, C‐C' Fe²⁺at M2, and D‐D' Fe³⁺at M1. The M1 site splitting is due to the NNN (Next Nearest Neighbour) effect of the M2 site. The amount of Fe³⁺at the tetrohedral site of megacrystal clinopyroxene is negligible according to this study.  相似文献   

Hydrogen content in clinopyroxene phenocrysts from Salina mafic lavas (Aeolian arc,Italy)   总被引：2，自引：1，他引：1

Clinopyroxene phenocrysts from the mafic calc-alkaline lavas of Salina (Aeolian arc, southern Tyrrhenian Sea, Italy) have been analysed to determine the hydrogen content and iron oxidation state of this early crystallized phase. The volcanic activity of Salina, starting at 168 ka and developed in several centres up to 24 ka, was dominated by calc-alkaline and high-K calc-alkaline basalts and andesites, with minor dacites and rhyolites. The presence of OH vibrational bands was detected in the IR spectra of clinopyroxenes phenocrysts from Corvo, Rivi-Capo (168–87 ka), Fossa delle Felci (108–59 ka) and Monte dei Porri (57 ka) eruptions. Corvo-Rivi-Capo basalts have clinopyroxenes with the lowest water contents 75–97 ppm H₂O by weight, whereas an increase in the hydrogen contents of clinopyroxenes from Fossa delle Felci centre, with 171–286 ppm H₂O by weight, and Monte dei Porri with 343–390 ppm H₂O by weight, was observed. Mössbauer spectroscopy showed only a limited variation on the Fe³⁺/Fe_tot ratio of the studied samples, and a very similar atomic Fe³⁺ content (0.042–0.047 a.p.f.u.) suggesting that only minor variation on fO₂ occurred during the crystallization of these clinopyroxenes. The water content of parental melts, calculated by applying an ^IVAl-dependent partition coefficient to the measured hydrogen contents of clinopyroxenes, is 0.4–0.8 wt% of water in melt for the Rivi-Capo-Corvo basalts, 0.5–3.7 wt% water in melt for Fossa delle Felci lavas and 1.6–2.6 wt% of water in melt for Monte dei Porri lavas. An increase in the maximum hydrogen contents of clinopyroxenes can be recognized during the evolution of the Salina volcano, with the highest hydrogen content measured in clinopyroxenes from Monte dei Porri where the eruptions were characterized by a high degree of explosivity, suggesting a key role of volatiles.  相似文献   

Petrology and Petrogenesis of Clinopyroxene-Rich Tholeiitic Lavas, Merelava Volcano, Vanuatu   总被引：2，自引：3，他引：2

The mineralogy, petrography and geochemistry of a suite of clinopyroxene-richolivine tholenite lavas from Merelava island, Vanuatu are described.Located at the southern end of the Northern Trough back-arcbasin, this suite displays all the characteristics of primitiveisland arc lavas: flat REE patterns, depleted HFSE, enrichmentin K-group elements relative to LREE, highly calcic plagioclase(to An_{9 3} and Cr-rich spinels (cr-number80) Analysis of groundmasscompositions demonstrates that the variation in MgO within thelava suite (from 13?7 to 4?3% MgO) represents only a small departurefrom a liquid line of descent. Some of the more primitive lavas contain low-Al₂O₃ clinopyroxenemegacrysts (mg-number = 100Mg/(Mg+Fe^{2 +} and ultramafic xenoliths,the latter ranging from fine-grained, tectonite wehrlites andchnopyroxene-bearing harzburgites, to coarse-grained cumulatewehrlites. The cumulate nodules, megacrysts and phenocrysts are shown tobe co-magmatic, and an empirical compositional relationshipis demonstrated for equilibrium olivine-clinopyroxene pairs,covering the observed fractionation range (mg-number_Cpx=0?6375mg-number_O1 + 35?3). On the basis that the most primitive olivine(mg-number _{91 7}) is close to the liquidus composition, thiscompositional relationship demonstrates that clinopyroxene (mg-number=94,and containing no Fe³⁺) was also a liquidus phase. Clinopyroxeneswith mg-number>94 are the product of local oxidation duringmixing of primitive, relatively reduced magmas, and more evolved,oxidized magmas. This mixing also gave rise to relatively narrow,reversely zoned, internal rims on many clinopyroxene and olivinephenocrysts, cumulus crystals, and clinopyroxene megacrysts. Fractionation modelling demonstrates that the most differentiatedsample with 19 wt.% Al₂O₃ can be derived from the most primitivesample with 10?3% Al₂O₃ by removal of 48% crystals of clinopyroxeneand olivine in the proportions 73:27 Plagioclase is a late crystallizingphase and has an insignificant role in the fractionation process. The parent melt composition (mg-number=77) is deduced from themost primitive olivine composition and the liquid line of descent,and is shown to contain equal amounts of MgO and CaO (137 wt.%),a high CaO/Al₂O₃ ratio of 1?3 and an unusually low Ni contentof 137 ppm. Data from published high pressure (8–20 kb)experiments on melting of peridotite and pyrolite do not providean explanati in for the large normative diopside component inthis parent melt (38 mol.%), and a hypothesis is proposed wherebyhigh degrees of melting of refractory Iherzolite or harzburgite+acomponent of lower crustal pyroxenite and/or wehrlite takesplace at the base of the crust (5–55 kb). At this depth,and initially under hydrous conditions, high degrees of meltingwould progressively eliminate orthopyroxene and then clinopyroxeneto produce a dunite residue. The liquid produced near the pointof clinopyroxene elimination would be compatible with the highCaO and Sc contents, and high Sc/Ni, Cr/Ni and D1/Hy ratiosof the lavas, and the refractory nature of the phenocrysts.  相似文献   

Mineralogy of Erromango lavas (New Hebrides): Evidence of an early stage of fractionation in island arc basalts     

Gerard Marcelot  Rene C. Maury  Christian Lefevre 《Lithos》1983,16(2):135-151

The orogenic volcanic rocks of Erromango island are divided into a Quaternary theoleiitic group and an older Pliocene one showing calc-alkalic affinity. The microprobe mineralogy of these lavas agrees with this geochemical distinction and indicates a marked iron enrichment trend in the recent tholeiitic lavas, whereas titanomagnetite occurs as early formed phenocrysts (Al, Cr, Mg-rich) only in Pliocene basalts. Some Ni and Mg-rich olivine phenocrysts (Fo88) and unusual chemically zoned clinopyroxene megacrysts are described from Pliocene basic lavas and interpreted as deep-fractionated minerals. The large compositional range of these latter (diopside core to augite rim, through salite intermediate zone) leads us to discuss the physical conditions and the corresponding cation substitutions prevailing during their formation. Diopside cores crystallized at depths of about 20 km from a relatively ‘primitive’ melt. The formation of salite is considered to be the result of concomitant fractionation of Mg-rich phases and increase of f_O2. An early stage of fractionation of Cr-bearing diopside + Ni-bearing olivine would account for the typical Cr and Ni depletion of Erromango lavas.  相似文献   

The partitioning of trace elements between clinopyroxene and trachybasaltic melt during rapid cooling and crystal growth     

S. Mollo  J. D. Blundy  G. Iezzi  P. Scarlato  A. Langone 《Contributions to Mineralogy and Petrology》2013,166(6):1633-1654

We present the variation in trace element partition coefficients measured at the interface between rapidly cooled clinopyroxene crystals and co-existing melts. Results indicate that, as the cooling rate is increased, clinopyroxene crystals are progressively depleted in Si, Ca and Mg counterbalanced by enrichments in Al (mainly tetrahedral Al^iv), Na and Ti. Partition coefficients (Ds) for rare earth elements (REE), high field strength elements (HFSE) and transition elements (TE) increase with increasing cooling rate, in response to clinopyroxene compositional variations. The entry of REE into the M2 site is facilitated by a coupled substitution where either Na substitutes for Ca on the M2 site or Al^iv substitutes for Si in the tetrahedral site. The latter substitution reflects an increased ease of locally balancing the excess charge at M2 as the number of surrounding Al^iv atoms increases. Due to the lower concentration of Ca in rapidly cooled clinopyroxenes, divalent large ion lithophile elements (LILE) on M2 decrease at the expense of monovalent cations. Conversely, higher concentrations of HFSE and TE on the M1 site are facilitated as the average charge on this site increases with the replacement of divalent-charged cations by Al^vi. Although crystallization kinetics modify clinopyroxene composition, deviations from equilibrium partitioning are insufficient to change the tendency of a trace element to be compatible or incompatible. Consequently, there are regular relationships between ionic radius, valence of the trace element and D. At both equilibrium and cooling rate conditions, Ds for isovalent cations define parabola-like curves when plotted against ionic radius, consistent with the lattice strain model, demonstrating that the partitioning of trace elements is driven by charge balance mechanisms; cation substitution reactions can be treated in terms of the energetics of the various charge-imbalanced configurations.  相似文献
