Chloritoid stability in very iron-rich altered pillow lavas   总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2  
Conclusions Our major conclusions are that the strong correlation of P2O5 and light REE abundances in basalts does not (a) require residual apatite or whitlockite during partial melting, or (b) imply that P2O5 and REE-rich magmas are derived from more refractory sources than the source of magmas with lower P2O5 and REE contents.  相似文献

Trace element evidence indicates that at the Buell Park diatreme, Navajo volcanic field, the felsic minette can be best explained by crystal fractionation from a potassic magma similar in composition to the mafic minettes. Compatible trace element (Cr, Ni, Sc) abundances decrease while concentrations of most incompatible elements (Ce, Yb, Rb, Ba, Sr) remain constant or increase from mafic to felsic minette. In particular, the nearly constant Ce/Yb ratio of the minettes combined with the decrease in Cr, Ni, and Sc abundances from mafic to felsic minette is inconsistent with a model of varying amounts of partial melting as the process to explain minette compositions. The uniformity of rare earth element (REE) abundances in all the minettes requires that an accessory mineral, apatite, dominated the geochemistry of the REE during fractionation. A decrease in P2O5 from mafic to felsic minette and the presence of apatite in cognate inclusions are also consistent with apatite fractionation. Higher initial87Sr/86Sr ratios in the felsic minettes relative to the proposed parental mafic minettes, however, is inconsistent with a simple fractionation model. Also, a separated phlogopite has a higher initial87Sr/86Sr ratio than host minette. These anomalous isotopic features probably reflect interaction of minette magma with crust.The associated ultramafic breccia at Buell Park is one of the Navajo kimberlites, but REE concentrations of the matrix do not support the kimberlite classification. Although the matrix of the breccia is enriched in the light REE relative to chondrites, and has high La, Rb, Ba, and Sr concentrations relative to peridotites, the concentrations of these elements are significantly lower than in South African kimberlites. A high initial87Sr/86Sr ratio combined with petrographic evidence of ubiquitous crustal xenoliths in the Navajo kimberlites suggests that the relatively high incompatible element concentrations are due to a crustal component. Apparently, Navajo kimberlites are most likely a mixture of comminuted mantle wall rock and crustal material; there is no evidence for an incompatible element-rich magma which is characteristic of South African kimberlites.If the mafic minettes are primary magmas derived from a garnet peridotite source with chondritic REE abundances, then REE geochemistry requires very small (less than 1%) degrees of melting to explain the minettes. Alternatively, the minettes could have formed by a larger degree of melting of a metasomatized, relatively light REE-enriched garnet peridotite. The important role of phlogopite and apatite in the differentiation of the minettes supports this latter hypothesis.  相似文献

Trace element concentrations in the four principal peridotitic silicate phases (garnet, olivine, orthopyroxene, clinopyroxene) included in diamonds from Akwatia (Birim Field, Ghana) were determined using SIMS. Incompatible trace elements are hosted in garnet and clinopyroxene except for Sr which is equally distributed between orthopyroxene and garnet in harzburgitic paragenesis diamonds. The separation between lherzolitic and harzburgitic inclusion parageneses, which is commonly made using compositional fields for garnets in a CaO versus Cr2O3 diagram, is also apparent from the Ti and Sr contents in both olivine and garnet. Titanium is much higher in the lherzolitic and Sr in the harzburgitic inclusions. Chondrite normalised REE patterns of lherzolitic garnets are enriched (10–20 times chondrite) in HREE (LaN/YbN = 0.02–0.06) while harzburgitic garnets have sinusoidal REEN patterns, with the highest concentrations for Ce and Nd (2–8 times chondritic) and a minimum at Ho (0.2–0.7 times chondritic). Clinopyroxene inclusions show negative slopes with La enrichment 10–100 times chondritic and low Lu (0.1–1 times chondritic). Both a lherzolitic and a harzburgitic garnet with very high knorringite contents (14 and 21 wt% Cr2O3 respectively) could be readily distinguished from other garnets of their parageneses by much higher levels of LREE enrichment. The REE patterns for calculated melt compositions from lherzolitic garnet inclusions fall into the compositional field for kimberlitic-lamproitic and carbonatitic melts. Much more strongly fractionated REE patterns calculated from harzburgitic garnets, and low concentrations in Ti, Y, Zr, and Hf, differ significantly from known alkaline and carbonatitic melts and require a different agent. Equilibration temperatures for harzburgitic inclusions are generally below the C-H-O solidus of their paragenesis, those of lherzolitic inclusions are above. Crystallisation of harzburgitic diamonds from CO2-bearing melts or fluids may thus be excluded. Diamond inclusion chemistry and mineralogy also is inconsistent with known examples of metasomatism by H2O-rich melts. We therefore favour diamond precipitation by oxidation of CH4-rich fluids with highly fractionated trace element patterns which are possibly due to “chromatographic” fractionation processes.

The solubility of fluorapatite in 17 silica-rich melts in the system Na2O-K2O-Al2O3-SiO2 (with and without CaO or CaF2) was determined at 1 kbar water pressure and 750 900°C. Apatite saturation occurs at levels of dissolved P2O5 ranging between 0.04 (± 0.02) and 0.28 (± 0.13) wt%. with only 4 values outside the 0.09–0.20 wt% range.The results demonstrate not only that apatite is a common liquidus phase in felsic melts, but also that, under most circumstances, it remains in the residue during episodes of partial fusion of the crust. Given a solubility limit of 0.14 wt% dissolved P2O5 (the mean of the experimental values) a source containing as little as 0.05% P2O5 must be 35% melted before apatite is lost from the residue and no longer buffers the melt P2O5 concentration at the saturation value. Higher abundances of P2O5 in the source postpone the loss of residual apatite to still higher degrees of melting, and if the source P2O5 content exceeds 0.14 wt%, apatite must be residual for all degrees of melting, increasing in abundance as melting proceeds.The generally secondary influence of apatite on the rare earth element (REE) patterns of melt and residue is most apparent when garnet and/or amphibole is minor or lacking in the residue. Fractional crystallization of intermediate (e.g. andesitic) magmas toward felsic compositions invariably results in saturation in apatite and some consequent depletion of REE in the melt.  相似文献

The Eastern Ghats Granulite Belt (EGGB) forms part of a continuous Precambrian metamorphic terrain in Gondwana. It is characterised by widespread development of an Archaean khondalite suite of metasedimentary rocks, Archaean to Late-Proterozoic charnockites and Late Proterozoic anorthositic, granitic and syenitic emplacements. A 1900 Ma megacrystic granitoid suite, containing varying proportions of charnockites and granites, forms an important and widely distributed litho-unit in the central khondalite and eastern migmatite zones of the EGGB. It contains metasedimentary enclaves, megacrystic K-feldspar, quartz, plagioclase ovoids, biotite, garnet (porphyroblasts and coronas), apatite, zircon, ilmenite, magnetite, etc. Hypersthene is present in the charnockite phase. Monazite is present in some garnet-free granites. It is characterised by low Na2O/K2O ratios, high alumina saturation index, CaO, MgO, and ÝREE, negative correlation of TiO2, Al2O3, Fe2O3t, MgO, MnO, CaO, P2O5, Ba, Sr, Zr and V with SiO2, positive correlation of K2O, REE, Th and Rb with SiO2, fractionated LREE, relatively flat HREE and negative Eu anomalies.The data suggest S-type nature of the suite. Fractionation of the granitic magma and local variations in pH2O and fCO2 caused the formation of megacrystic charnockites. Formation of the corona garnet is related to the reworking of the suite during late Proterozoic (ca. 1250 Ma) isothermal decompression associated with channelised CO2-rich fluid flux along narrow shear zones.  相似文献

Garnet, an uncommon accessory mineral in igneous rocks, occurs in seven small peraluminous granitoid plutons in the southeastern Arabian Shield; textural equilibrium between garnet and other host granitoid minerals indicates that the garnets crystallized from their host magmas. Compositions of the garnets form three groups that reflect host-granitoid compositions, which in turn reflect source compositions and tectonic regimes in which the host magmas were generated. Garnets from the seven plutons have almandine-rich cores and spessartine-rich rims. This reverse zoning depicts host magma compositional evolution; i.e. rimward spessartine enrichment resulted from progressive, host-magma manganese enrichment. The garnets are heavy rare-earth element enriched; (Lu/La) N ranges from 13 to 355 and one of the garnets contains spectacularly elevated abundances of Y, Ta, Th, U, Zn, Zr, Hf, Sn, and Nb. Involvement of garnets with these trace element characteristics in magma genesis or evolution can have dramatic effects on trace element signatures of the resulting magmas. Other researchers suggest that Mn-enriched magmas are most conducive to garnet nucleation. Although the garnetiferous granitoids discussed here are slightly Mn enriched, other genetically similar peraluminous Arabian granitoids lack garnet; Mn enrichment alone does not guarantee garnet nucleation. The presence of excess alumina in the magma may be a prerequisite for garnet nucleation.  相似文献

The partitioning of La, Sm, Dy, Ho and Yb between garnet, calcic clinopyroxene, calcic amphibole and andesitic and basaltic liquids has been studied experimentally. Glasses containing one or more REE in concentrations of 500–2000 ppm were crystallized at pressures of 10–35 kbar, and temperatures of 900–1520°C. Water was added to stabilize amphibole and to allow study of partition coefficients over wide temperature ranges. Major element and REE contents of crystal rims and adjacent glass were determined by EPMA, with limits of detection for individual REE of 100–180 ppm. Measured partition coefficients, DREECryst-liq, are independent of REE concentration over the concentration ranges used.D-values show an inverse dependence on temperature, best illustrated for garnet. At a given temperature, they are almost always higher for equilibria involving andesitic liquid. Garnet shows by far the greatest range of D-values, with e.g. DLa < 0.05 and DYb ~ 44 for andesitic liquid at 940°C. DYb falls to ~ 12 at 1420°C. DSmGa-liq also correlates negatively with temperature and positively with the grossular content of garnet. Patterns of DreeCryst-Liq for calcic clinopyroxenes and amphiboles are sub-parallel, with D-values for amphibole generally higher. Both individual D-values and patterns for the crystalline phases studied are comparable with those determined for phenocryst-matrix pairs in natural dacites, andesites and basalts.D-values and patterns are interpreted in terms of the entry of REE3+ cations into mineral structures and liquids of contrasted major element compositions. The significance of the partition coefficients for models of the genesis of andesitic and Hy-normative basaltic magmas is assessed. Most magmas of these types in island arcs are unlikely to be produced by melting of garnet-bearing sources such as eclogite or garnet lherzolite.  相似文献

The Archean Shawmere Anorthosite Complex, at the southern end of the Kapuskasing Structural Zone, consists dominantly of anorthosite (An65 –85) with minor gabbroic and ultramafic units, which are completely enclosed and cut by tonalites. Both the anorthosites and the tonalites are themselves cut by narrow dikes of gabbroic anorthosite. All of the rocks have undergone high grade metamorphism and are recrystallized so that few igneous textures remain.The anorthosites, gabbros and ultramafic rocks of this complex are cumulates which contain calcic plagioclase (An65–95) and have atomic Mg/(Mg + Fe2+) ratios (Mg#) greater than 0.6; less than 3 ppm Rb; 150–210 ppm Sr; and less than 60 ppm Ba. REE abundanees range from 0.2 to 10 times chondritic and exhibit both light-enriched and light-depleted REE patterns. The lower Mg# for the samples having more enriched light REE indicates substantial fractions of ferromagnesian minerals crystallized in addition to plagioclase during fractional crystallization, suggesting that the parent magma was basaltic, and not anorthositic. The ranges in Sr, Ba and REE abundances required for the magmas are typical of those for tholeiitic basalts from Archean greenstone belts. Thus the Shawmere Anorthosite Complex may represent cumulates of a crustal-level magma chamber which could have been the immediate source of basic Archean volcanics.One gabbroic anorthositic dike sample has a steeply fractionalted REE pattern with heavy REE abundances less than chondrites and a large positive Eu anomaly. The proposed interpretations is that this rock formed by partial melting of mafic cumulates, perhaps those of the Shawmere Anorthosite Complex itself.  相似文献

Garnet-bearing mantle peridotites, occurring as either xenoliths in volcanic rocks or lenses/massifs in high-pressure and ultrahigh-pressure terrenes within orogens, preserve a record of deep lithospheric mantle processes. The garnet peridotite xenoliths record chemical equilibrium conditions of garnet-bearing mineral assemblage at temperatures (T) ranging from ~700 to 1,400°C and pressures (P) > 1.6–8.9 GPa, corresponding to depths of ~52–270 km. A characteristic mineral paragenesis includes Cr-bearing pyropic garnet (64–86 mol% pyrope; 0–10 wt% Cr2O3), Cr-rich diopside (0.5–3.5 wt% Cr2O3), Al-poor orthopyroxene (0–5 wt% Al2O3), high-Cr spinel (Cr/(Cr + Al) × 100 atomic ratio = 2–86) and olivine (88–94 mol% forsterite). In some cases, partial melting, re-equilibration involving garnet-breakdown, deformation, and mantle metasomatism by kimberlitic and/or carbonatitic melt percolations are documented. Isotope model ages of Archean and Proterozoic are ubiquitous, but Phanerozoic model ages are less common. In contrast, the orogenic peridotites were subjected to ultrahigh-pressure (UHP) metamorphism at temperature ranging from ~700 to 950°C and pressure >3.5–5.0 GPa, corresponding to depths of >110–150 km. The petrologic comparisons between 231 garnet peridotite xenoliths and 198 orogenic garnet peridotites revealed that (1) bulk-rock REE (rare earth element) concentrations in xenoliths are relatively high, (2) clinopyroxene and garnet in orogenic garnet peridotites show a highly fractionated REE pattern and Ce-negative anomaly, respectively, (3) Fo contents of olivines for off-cratonic xenolith are in turn lower than those of orogenic garnet and cratonic xenolith but mg-number of garnet for orogenic is less than that of off-cratonic and on-cratonic xenolith, (4) Al2O3, Cr2O3, CaO and Cr# of pyroxenes and chemical compositions of whole rocks are very different between these garnet peridotites, (5) orogenic garnet peridotites are characterized by low T and high P, off-cratonic by high T and low P, and cratonic by medium T and high P and (6) garnet peridotite xenoliths are of Archean or Proterozoic origin, whereas most of orogenic garnet peridotites are of Phanerozoic origin. Taking account of tectonic settings, a new orogenic garnet peridotite exhumation model, crust-mantle material mixing process, is proposed. The composition of lithospheric mantle is additionally constrained by comparisons and compiling of the off-cratonic, on-cratonic and orogenic garnet peridotite.  相似文献

Olivine, orthopyroxene and garnet grains belonging to the peridotitic suite of mineral inclusions in natural diamonds typically show compositions poorer in Ca and Al and richer in Mg and Cr than the same minerals in peridotite nodules in kimberlite. Other features suggest the crystallisation of diamonds from magmas of kimberlitic affinities, and it is suggested that the genesis of peridotitic suite diamonds is linked with that of a CO2-bearing magma. It is shown that the generation of kimberlitic magma from common garnet-peridotite (with 5 wt.% clinopyroxene) in the presence of CO2 may rapidly remove by melting all Ca-rich solid phases (clinopyroxene and/or carbonate). Further melting may form liquids in equilibrium with olivine, orthopyroxene, and garnet with the distinctive compositions of the diamond inclusions. The amount of melting and CO2 necessary for the loss of clinopyroxene (and/or carbonate) are estimated at approximately 5.0 wt.% and 0.5 wt.% respectively.  相似文献

In the bottom part of the tongue-shaped, layered granitoid intrusion, exposed in the Western Tatra Mts., apatite-rich granitic rocks occur as pseudo-layers and pockets between I-type hybrid mafic precursors and homogeneous S-type felsic granitoids. The apatite-rich rocks are peraluminous (ASI?=?1.12–1.61), with P2O5 contents ranging from 0.05 to 3.41 wt.% (<7.5 vol.% apatite), shoshonitic to high-K calc-alkaline. Apatite is present as long-prismatic zoned crystals (Ap1) and as large xenomorphic unzoned crystals (Ap2). Ap1 apatite and biotite represent an early cumulate. Feldspar and Ap2 textural relations may reflect the interaction of the crystal faces of both minerals and support a model based on local saturation of (P, Ca, F) versus (K, Na, Al, Si, Ba) in the border zones. Chondrite-normalized REE patterns for the apatite rocks and for pure apatite suggest apatite was a main REE carrier in these rocks. Minerals characteristics and the whole rock chemistry suggest both reduced S-type and I-type magma influenced the apatite-rich rocks. The field observations, mineral and rock chemistry as well as mass-balance calculations point out that the presence of apatite-rich rocks may be linked to the continuous mixing of felsic and mafic magmas, creating unique phosphorus- and aluminium-rich magma portions. Formation of these rocks was initially dominated by the complex flowage-controlled and to some extent also gravity-driven separation of early-formed zoned minerals and, subsequently, by local saturation in the border zones of growing feldspar and apatite crystals. Slow diffusion in the phosphorus-rich magma pockets favoured the local saturation and simultaneous crystallization of apatite and feldspars in a crystal-ladden melt.  相似文献

The Loch Ba ring-dyke in the Tertiary igneous central complex of Mull, N.W. Scotland is composed predominantly of a banded rhyolitic welded tuff. The rhyolite contains numerous inclusions of dark aphanitic rock. The textural relationships between the different rocks indicate rapid, violent and intimate mixing during emplacement of the dyke. The dark glassy component varies continuously from basaltic andesite to andesite, dacite and rhyolite. These glasses are enriched in FeO and depleted in MgO at a given SiO2 content in comparison to other tholeiitic highly differentiated volcanic rocks. The rhyolite contains an average of 4% phenocrysts and is associated with the mineral assemblage plagioclase (An32 to An21)-sanidine(Or50–60)-hedenbergite-fayalite-magnetite-ilmenite-apatite-zircon. Mineral aggregates involving either plagioclase-hedenbergite-ilmenite or plagioclase-fayalite-magnetite are common, but aggregates containing fayalite and hedenbergite together are scarce. The dark glassy components are either phenocryst free or contain less than 0.2% phenocrysts. The main phenocrysts associated with the dark glasses are plagioclase (An65-An30), high calcium clinopyroxene ranging continuously from augite to pure hedenbergite, pigeonite, magnetite, ilmenite and rare apatite. Zoning in minerals is generally weak or absent. The plagioclase feldspar, high calcium clinopyroxenes and pigeonites have similar compositional ranges to the minerals observed in the Middle and Upper Zones of the Skaergaard Intrusion. The mineral compositions are systematically related to SiO2 content and Mg number of the glasses. The data demonstrate that mineral compositions and assemblages similar to the Skaergaard form from silica-rich andesitic to rhyolitic liquids. The various mafic glasses are interpreted to have been derived from a zoned magma chamber underlying an upper layer of rhyolitic magma. Differentiation is attributed to fractional crystallization of the observed mineral assemblages causing SiO2 enrichment and FeO depletion. However, glasses with less than 57% SiO2 have unusual compositions with very low MgO and P2O5 as well as variable Al2O3 and TiO2. Their peculiarities could be explained by andesitic magmas assimilating cumulate mineral aggregates precipitated from more differentiated dacite and rhyolite magmas. The bulk compositions of these cumulates have high FeO, low SiO2 and negligible MgO and P2O5. It is suggested that the high density of the mineral aggregates containing fayalite-hedenbergite-magnetite and ilmenite caused them to settle through the zoned chamber to be assimilated by high temperature, less differentiated magmas.  相似文献

Epidote phenocrysts in dacitic dikes,Boulder County,Colorado   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  
Epidote (Ps21%) crystallized early as elongate phenocrysts in Late Cretaceous rhyodacitic dikes in the vicinity of Ward, Boulder County, Colorado. Other unusual phenocryst phases are garnet (Gr17–24%) and muscovite. In a xenolith containing kyanite, corundum, biotite, and plagioclase, magmatic garnet grew as a rim around xenocrystic pyrope-rich (Py37%) garnet. The xenolith was derived from a granulite-facies zone, not represented at the present-day erosion surface which is composed of upper amphibolite-facies cordierite and sillimanite-bearing gneisses. The dike magmas were fed not from an immediately underlying batholith but from a magma chamber at a depth corresponding to a pressure of 8–13 kilobars. Phenocrysts cystallized in the temperature range 800 to 700° C, under H2O and O2 activities greater than normal for silicic magmas. This occurrence shows convincingly not only that epidote can be magmatic but that it is a possible early-crystallization phase in silicic magmas.  相似文献

The Tertiary to Recent basalts of Victoria and Tasmania havemineralogical and major element characteristics of magmas encompassingthe range from quartz tholeiites to olivine melilitites. Abundancesof trace elements such as incompatible elements, including therare earth elements (REE), and the compatible elements Ni, Coand Sc, vary systematically through this compositional spectrum.On the basis of included mantle xenoliths, appropriate 100 Mg/Mg+ Fe+2 (68–72) and high Ni contents many of these basaltsrepresent primary magmas (i.e., unmodified partial melts ofmantle peridotite). For fractionated basalts we have derivedmodel primary magma compositions by estimating the compositionalchanges caused by fractional crystallization of olivine andpyroxene at low or moderate pressure. A pyrolite model mantlecomposition has been used to establish and evaluate partialmelting models for these primary magmas. By definition and experimentaltesting the specific pyrolite composition yields parental olivinetholeiite magma similar to that of KilaeauIki, Hawaii (1959–60)and residual harzburgite by 33 per cent melting. It is shownthat a source pyrolite composition differing only in having0.3–0.4 per cent TiO2 rather than 0.7 per cent TiO2, isable to yield the spectrum of primary basalts for the Victorian-Tasmanianprovince by 4 per cent to 25 per cent partial melting. The mineralogiesof residual peridotites are consistent with known liquidus phaserelationships of the primary magmas at high pressures and thechemical compositions of residual peridotite are similar tonatural depleted or refractory lherzolites and harzburgites.For low degrees of melting the nature of the liquid and of theresidual peridotite are sensitively dependent on the contentof H2O, CO2 and the CO2/H2O in the source pyrolite. The melting models have been tested for their ability to accountfor the minor and trace element, particularly the distinctivelyfractionated REE, contents of the primary magmas. A single sourcepyrolite composition can yield the observed minor and traceelement abundances (within at most a factor of 2 and commonlymuch closer) for olivine melilitite (4–6 per cent melt),olivine nephelinite, basanite (5–7 per cent melt), alkaliolivine basalt (11–15 per cent melt), olivine basalt andolivine tholeiite (20–25 per cent melt) provided thatthe source pyrolite was already enriched in strongly incompatibleelements (Ba, Sr, Th, U, LREE) at 6–9 x chondritic abundancesand less enriched (2.5–3 x chondrites) in moderately incompatible(Ti, Zr, Hf, Y, HREE) prior to the partial melting event. Thesources regions for S.E. Australian basalts are similar to thosefor oceanic island basalts (Hawaii, Comores, Iceland, Azores)or for continental and rift-valley basaltic provinces and verydifferent in trace element abundances from the model sourceregions for most mid-ocean ridge basalts. We infer that thismantle heterogeneity has resulted from migration within theupper mantle (LVZ or below the LVZ) of a melt or fluid (H2O,CO2-enriched) with incompatible element concentrations similarto those of olivine melilitite, kimberlite or carbonatite. Asa result of this migration, some mantle regions are enrichedin incompatible elements and other areas are depleted. Although it is possible, within the general framework of a lherzolitesource composition, to derive the basanites, olivine nephelinitesand olivine melilitites from a source rock with chondritic relativeREE abundances at 2–5 x chondritic levels, these modelsrequire extremely small degrees of melting (0.4 per cent forolivine melilitite to 1 per cent for basanite). Furthermore,it is not possible to derive the olivine tholeiite magmas fromsource regions with chondritic relative REE abundances withoutconflicting with major element and experimental petrology argumentsrequiring high degrees (15 per cent) of melting and the absenceof residual garnet. If these arguments are disregarded, andpartial melting models are constrained to source regions withchondritic relative REE abundances, then magmas from olivinemelilitites to olivine tholeiites can be modelled if degreesof melting are sufficiently small, e.g., 7 per cent meltingfor olivine tholeiite. However, the source regions must be heterogenousfrom 1 to 5 x chondritic in absolute REE abundances and heterogerieousin other trace elements as well. This model is rejected in favorof the model requiring variation in degree of melting from 4per cent to 25 per cent and mantle source regions ranging fromLREE-enriched to LREE-depleted relative to chondritic REE abundances.  相似文献

Partition coefficients for the rare earth elements (REE) Ce, Sm and Tm between coexisting garnets and hydrous liquids have been determined at high pressure and temperatures (30 kbar and 1300 and 1500°C). Two synthetic systems were studied, Mg3Al2Si3O12-H2O and Ca3Al2Si3O12-H2O, in addition to a natural pyrope-bearing system.Deviations from Henry's Law behaviour occur at geologically relevant REE concentrations. At concentrations < 3 ppm Ce, < 12 ppm Sm, < 80 ppm Tm in pyrope and < 100 ppm Ce, < 250 ppm Sm, < 1000 ppm Tm in grossular (at 30 kbar and 1300°C), Dgarnet liquidREE increases as the REE concentration in the garnet decreases. At higher concentrations, DREE is constant. Dgrossular liquidREE also constant when the garnet contains less than about 2 ppm Sm or Tm. The REE concentration at which DREE becomes constant increases with increasing temperature, decreasing REE ionic radius and increasing Ca content of the garnet.Partitioning behaviour of Ce, Sm and Tm between a natural pyrope-rich garnet and hydrous liquid is analogous to that in the synthetic systems and substantiates the substitution model proposed by Harrison and Wood (1980).Values of DREEgarnet/liquid for which Henry's Law is obeyed are systematically higher for grossular than for pyrope (Dpyrope/liquid = 0.067(Ce), 0.108(Sm), 0.155(Tm) and Dgrossular/Liquid = 0.65(Ce), 0.75(Sm), 4.55(Tm).The implications of non-Henry's Law partitioning of REE for models of basalt petrogenesis involving garnet are far-ranging. Deviations from Henry's Law permit refinements to be made to calculated REE abundances once basic model parameters have been defined.  相似文献

Summary Reheated silicate melt inclusions in volcanic rock samples from Mt. Somma-Vesuvius, Italy, have been analyzed for 29 constituents including H2O, S, Cl, F, B, and P2O5. This composite volcano consists of the older Mt. Somma caldera, formed between 14 and 3.55 ka before present, and the younger Vesuvius cone. The melt inclusion compositions provide important constraints on pre-eruptive magma geochemistry, identify relationships that relate to eruption behavior and magma evolution, and provide extensive evidence for magmatic fluid exsolution well before eruption. The melt inclusion data have been categorized by groups that reflect magma compositions, age, and style of eruptions. The data show distinct differences in composition for eruptive products older than 14.0 ka (pre-caldera rocks) versus eruptive products younger than 3.55 ka. Moreover, pre-caldera eruptions were associated with magmas relatively enriched in SiO2, whereas eruptions younger than 3.55 ka (i.e., the syn- and post-caldera magmas which generated the Somma caldera and the Vesuvius cone) were derived from magmas comparatively enriched in S, Cl, CaO, MgO, P2O5, F, and many lithophile trace elements. Melt inclusion data indicate that eruptive behavior at Vesuvius correlates with pre-eruptive volatile enrichments. Most magmas associated with explosive plinian and subplinian events younger than 3.55 ka contained more H2O, contained significantly more S, and exhibited higher (S/Cl) ratios than syn- and post-caldera magmas which erupted during relatively passive interplinian volcanic phenomena.

Analyses of Sr and REE in apatites from a variety of mantle-derived parageneses are used in conjunction with trace element data from the literature to investigate relationships between alkali basalts and apatite-rich materials in upper-mantle source regions. Despite difficulties in interpretation, positive P-anomalies in the hygromagmatophile element abundance patterns of some continental primary alkali basalts suggest either P-enrichment of their source or assimilation of P-rich material, or both. Amphibole- and apatite-rich xenoliths occur in several alkali-basalt provinces, and by virtue of the P and LREE enrichment represent a probable source of the P anomalies and part of the other trace element enrichments of these magmas. Incorporation of such apatite-rich materials by later primary magmas would be enhanced by the high P2O5 concentrations required to achieve apatite saturation in basaltic liquids.In the early stages of mantle diapirism an undersaturated magma, produced by slight partial melting of garnet peridotite, might fractionate as it rises to the range of amphibole stability. Hygromagmatophile element patterns of clinopyroxenite xenoliths indicate that clinopyroxene fractionation could produce P-enriched liquids which might subsequently crystallize amphibole- and apatite-rich materials now represented by xenoliths. During generation of later primary magma, apatite-rich materials might preferentially contaminate the liquids, to yield positive P-anomalies. This model requires that magmas undergo prolonged fractionation at considerable depth (~ 100 km), a process which is apparently most probable in subcontinental environments.An apatite- and zircon-bearing mica-clinopyroxenite xenolith from Matsoku provides a link between the S. African MARID suite and amphibole and apatite-rich xenoliths from various alkali basalt provinces. Unusual REE patterns (LaN < CeN < NdN, CeN/YN ?10) of apatites in this xenolith suggest a link between the MARID suite xenoliths and postulated pre-Karroo mantle metasomatism.  相似文献

Rocks of the northeast portion of the Colorado mineral belt form two petrographically, chemically and geographically distinct rock suites: (1) a silica oversaturated granodiorite suite; and (2) a silica saturated, high alkali monzonite suite. Rocks of the granodiorite suite generally have Sr contents less than 1000 ppm, subparallel REE patterns and initial 87Sr/ 86Sr ratios greater than 0.707. Rocks of the monzonite suite are restricted to the northeast part of the mineral belt, where few rocks of the granodiorite suite occur, and generally have Sr contents greater than 1000 ppm, highly variable REE patterns and 87Sr/86Sr initial ratios less than 0.706.Despite forming simple, smooth trends on major element variation diagrams, trace element data for rocks of the granodiorite suite indicate that they were not derived from a single magma. These rocks were derived from magmas having similar REE patterns, but variable Rb and Sr contents, and Rb/Sr ratios. The preferred explanation for these rocks is that they were derived by partial melting of a mixed source, which yielded pyroxene granulite or pyroxenite residues.The monzonite suite is chemically and petrographically more complex than the granodiorite suite. It is subdivided here into alkalic and mafic monzonites, and quartz syenites, based on the textural relations of their ferromagnesian phases and quartz. The geochemistry of these three rock types require derivation from separate and chemically distinct magma types. The preferred explanation for the alkalic monzonites is derivation from a heterogeneous mafic source, leaving a residue dominated by garnet and clinopyroxene. Early crystallization of sphene from these magmas was responsible for the severe depletion of the REE observed in the residual magmas. The lower Sr content and higher Rb/Sr ratios of the mafic monzonites requires a plagioclase-bearing source.The Sr-isotope systematics of the majority of these rocks are interpreted to be largely primary, and not the result of crustal contamination. The positive correlation of Rb/Sr and 87Sr/86Sr ratios for the least fractionated samples indicate that the sources from which parent magmas of both the granodiorite and monzonite suites were derived are Precambrian in age.  相似文献

Instrumental neutron activation and X-ray fluorescence analyses of minettes from New Brunswick, Canada, indicate that these rocks are strongly enriched in REE, especially the LREE, and other incompatible elements as well as Cr and Co. The geochemistry of minettes precludes their formation by anatexis or assimilation of crustal rocks, contamination of mantle-derived basalts by non-crystalline residua of granite crystallization, or any process involving fractional crystallization of feldspar. Their peculiar geochemical characteristics must be a direct function of their origin in the mantle.Ultrapotassic rocks, kimberlites, and, to a lesser extent, carbonatites are strikingly similar to minettes in their rare earth and other trace element contents, suggesting genetic links among these rock types. It is difficult to explain the temporal and spatial constancy of this similarity by post-anatectic late enrichment of diversely produced magmas by volatile transport. We tentatively propose that the process best able to account for their unique geochemistry is limited partial melting of the subcontinental mantle following and dependent on the metasomatic introduction of K, Ti, Fe, REE, halogens, P, and other elements as well as H2O and/or CO2. If the enriched mantle is H2O-rich, minette magma is produced; if it is CO2-rich or has an intermediate CO2H2O ratio, carbonatitic-kimberlitic and/or ultrapotassic magmas result.  相似文献
