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

Petrology of the Caribou Mountain Pluton, Klamath Mountains, California   总被引：2，自引：1，他引：1  
The Caribou Mountain pluton is a small trondhjemitic body thatintruded semipelitic schist of the Stuart Fork terrane in lateMiddle Jurassic to Early Cretaceous time. Its emplacement followedthe intrusion of an adjoining body of hornblende quartz dioritecalled the Middle Fork pluton and the mode of its emplacementwas as an asymmetric ballooning diapir (Davis, 1963), as shownby concentric foliation, radial late-stage dikes, foliated enclaves,and folded blocks of schlieren-banded tonalite. Coarse-grainedhornblende-bearing trondhjemite is the dominant rock type inthe Caribou Mountain pluton, and it is called the ‘maintrondhjemite’. It was followed by medium-grained ‘latetrondhjemite’ and by late-stage trondhjemitic and granodioriticdikes. All the trondhjemitic rock types are characterized bylow alkali contents, high light rare earth elements, low initial87Sr/86Sr, and low 18O. However, the late trondhjemite has higherNa2O and a higher initial 87Sr/86Sr value than the main trondhjemite,and the two units cannot be related by fractional crystallization.The late granodioritic dikes are richer in Ba, Rb, Y, and Scthan the late trondhjemite and probably reflect assimilationof Stuart Fork metasedimentary rocks by late-stage trondhjemiticmagma. Mafic enclaves in the main trondhjemite contain xenocrysts ofquartz and plagioclase derived from the host by magma mixing.The enclaves have K2O, Ba, and Rb contents similar to, or higherthan those of the host rocks. Their rare earth element (REE)patterns display strong middle REE enrichment caused by accumulationof hornblende, probably as the result of filter pressing. The main trondhjemite cannot be derived from Middle Fork magmabecause the initial 87Sr/86Sr of the Middle Fork pluton is lowerthan that of the trondhjemite. The absence of parental maficmagmas of appropriate composition suggests that the CaribouMountain trondhjemitic magmas formed by partial melting of anamphibolitic source rock compositionally similar to low-K tholeiite.  相似文献

The Vandfaldsdalen macrodike is a layered and differentiatedgabbroic dike approximately 3?5 km long and from 200 to 500m wide. It appears to cut the eastern margin of the Skaergaardintrusion and may have served as a feeder for the Basistoppensill. The macrodike can be divided into three series of rocks:a marginal series of differentiated gabbros adjacent to thewalls of the dike; a central series of differentiated and subhorizontallylayered gabbros and ferrodiorites in the interior of the dike;and an upper felsic series of granophyric rocks with abundantquartzo-feldspathic xenoliths. The mineral and bulk-rock compositionsthrough both the marginal series and central series show progressiveiron enrichment. The most Ca-rich plagioclase (An69) and mostmagnesian pyroxene (Wo42 En46 Fs12) occur in olivine-bearingrocks of the marginal series about 5 m from the contact withwall rocks. The most Na-rich plagioclase (An39) and Fe-richpyroxene (Wo38 En24 Fs38) are in olivine-free ferrodiorite ofthe central series, about 20 m below the contact with the felsicseries. Evidence from field observations, bulk-rock chemical compositions,and Sr and Nd isotopic data indicate the felsic series formedas a mixture of the initial macrodike magma and granitic countryrock. 87Sr/86Sr ratios of specimens from the felsic series rangebetween 0?7129 and 0?7294. 143Nd/144Nd ratios vary between 0?51208and 0?51118. Both ratios vary serially with the SiO2 contentsof the specimens. We suggest that the felsic series evolvedas a separate body of low density liquid which floated on thedenser gabbroic magma of the central series. Heat from crystallizationof the gabbroic magma must have diffused into the felsic layer,enabling extensive assimilation of the granitic xenoliths, butour data indicate there was very little exchange of chemicalcomponents between the two liquids.  相似文献

A High-K, Mantle Derived Plutonic Suite from 'Linga', near Arequipa (Peru)   总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2  
The Linga Group consists of a suite of Cretaceous high-K calc-alkalinerocks intruded into 2?0 Ga old basement in S.E. Peru. The rocksrange in composition from gabbros, through diorites and grandioritesto granites. Microprobe, major and trace element and isotopedata suggest the suite evolved by fractional crystallization,with plagioclase as the dominant phase and with surprisinglylittle interaction with the pre-existing crust. The rocks yieldan Rb/Sr whole rock isochron of 68 ? 3 Ma with an initial Sr-isotoperatio 0.70516 ? 8, and from three Nd-isotope analyses initialNd = – 1?4 to – 2?0. 18 O increases from 5?0 permil in a gabbro to 7?0 per mil in a granite, and models arepresented which suggest that the suite evolved from parentalmagmas which had 18O = 5?8 to 6?0 per mil, 1.5 per cent K2O,63 p.p.m. Rb, 582 p.p.m. Sr, 35 p.p.m. Ce, 0.38 p.p.m. Ta, 87Sr/86Sr= 0.7052, and 143Nd/144Nd = 0.51247. Trace element considerationsimply that these magmas contain contributions from incompatibleelement enriched upper mantle material and from a componentassociated with subduction. The latter is thought to reflectthe preferential mobilization of alkali and alkaline earth elementsby H2O-rich fluids from the subducted slab, and preliminarycalculations indicate that it was responsible for {small tilde}45 per cent of the Sr and {small tilde} 80 per cent of the Kin the more primitive Linga rocks. However, the isotope datasuggest that while the fluids may be from the subducted slab,the elements in this component may also have been mobilizedfrom the overlying mantle wedge.  相似文献

The Edgecumbe volcanics, which range from basalt through rhyodacite,have Sr contents between 125 and 370 p.p.m., Rb contents of1 to 70 p.p.m., Ba ranging from 50–550 p.p.m. and initial87Sr/86Sr ratios between 0.70291 and 0.70404. No simple correlationexists between these components and silica. The highest 87Sr/86Srvalues occur in a group of intermediate lavas (55–60 wt.per cent SiO2) while the rhyodacites have initial ratios between0.7035 and 0.7038. With increasing silica, Sr increases to amaximum in the andesites and then steadily decreases; Ba andRb increase over the same compositional range. The highest 87Sr/86Srlavas have major and trace element concentrations which departfrom trends defined by most of the lavas. The variation in strontiumisotopic compositions suggests interaction between parentalbasaltic magma and crustal material. Attempts to model the assimilationprocess using fixed end-member assimilation and assimilation-fractionalcrystallization models have failed to produce the observed chemicaltrends. Because the parental basaltic liquid underwent littlefractionation, the variability in hybrid lavas is attributedto variation in contaminant composition. Initial melts werelow in CaO, A12O3, MgO and Sr and enriched in SiO2. K2O, Na2O,Rb and Ba. As melting progressed, melts became enriched in themore refractory components. Because hybrid strontium isotopiccomposition is a function of Sr concentration as well as isotopiccompositions, the Sr content of the assimilant strongly influencesresultant isotopic systematics. The development of the assimilantssuggests plagioclase was a residual phase during early melting.This model of crustal assimilation represents one end-memberin the spectrum of processes responsible for the generationof continental volcanic suites.  相似文献

The island of St Martin lies inthe inactive part of the northernLesser Antilles island arc. The island consists of volcaniclasticsediments overlain and intruded by volcanic and plutonic rocks,which are in turn overlain by Miocene limestones. The extrusiveand intrusive rock suites are closely spaced in time (around27 Ma) although field relations suggest that the volcanic rockswere intruded by the plutons. Pluton emplacement gave rise tothermal metamorphism of the volcanic and volcaniclastic carapace,and to widespread hydrothermal alteration throughout the island. Geochemically, the igneous rocks of St Martin form a mildlytholeiitic to calc-alkaline typical subduction-related suite.The extrusive rocks are basalts to andesites, and the magmasappear to have differentiated largely through fractional crystallizationof plagioclase, clinopyroxene, and olivine. The REE displayflat chondrite-normalized patterns, with no significant Eu anomalydespite convincing evidence for plagioclase fractionation. Theplutonic rocks are more silica-rich diorites to granites, containingplagioclase, amphibole, and, less commonly, K-feldspar, sphene,zircon, and pyroxene. REE patterns are slightly LREE enrichedbut display distinct negative Eu anomalies. The fractionationof amphibole and accessory phases may have been important inthe evolution of the plutonic suite, as REE contents do notincrease overall with differentiation. Sr and Nd isotopic ratios of the St Martin suite form restrictedranges which vary little with differentiation, or between theextrusive and intrusive suiteSi 87Sr/86Sr ratios are slightlyhigher and 143Nd/l44Nd slightly lower than for volcanic rocksuites from the currently active northern Lesser Antilles volcanicarc. Some of the high 87Sr/86Sr ratios are explained in termsof hydrothermal alteration involving a high 87Sr/86Sr fluid,associated with pluton emplacement. Pb isotope ratios are similarto those of the currently active northern Lesser Antilles arc,and correlate with SiO2. Such correlations, together with largeranges of incompatible (and immobile) trace element ratios suggestthat open-system differentiation occurred during the evolutionof the St Martin suite. The composition of magma sources in the northern Lesser Antillesarc apparently has not changed significantly over the last 30Ma, despite a westward shift in the locus of arc magmatism.Addition of a slab-derived fluid to the mantle wedge is responsiblefor the high relative abundances of large ion lithophile elements(LILE) and enrichment in radiogenic Pb and Sr relative to mid-oceanridge basalt (MORB). Subsequent differentiation may involveassimilation of the arc basement in St Martin, which is believedto consist of Cretaceous to early Tertiary arc material, similarto that encountered in the Greater Antilles. *Present address: Department of Geosciences, University of Arizona, Tucson, Arizona 85721  相似文献

Chemical and Sr isotopic zoning patterns in plagioclase megacrysts from gabbroic dykes in the Gardar Province can be used to elucidate magma-chamber and emplacement processes. The megacrysts occur either as single crystals or assembled as anorthosite xenoliths. The size of the megacrysts varies from <1 cm to 1 m. They consist of a large core with variable zonation (An58-39) and a relatively small (<600 µm), normally zoned rim (An62-27). The contact between core and rim is sharp and marked by a sharp increase in anorthite content which can reach 11 mol% An. This gap is interpreted as having formed during dyke emplacement due to a sudden pressure release. Some of the megacryst cores show a fairly constant composition whereas others exhibit an unusual wavy-oscillatory zoning which has not been reported elsewhere to our knowledge. The oscillatory zoning has wavelengths of up to 2,500 µm and a maximum amplitude of 7 mol% An. It is interpreted as reflecting movements of the crystals in the magma reservoir. The Sr isotopic composition of one crystal shows a radiogenic inner core ((87Sr/86Sr)i=0.7044) and a less radiogenic outer core ((87Sr/86Sr)i=0.7039-0.7036). The lack of a significant change between outer core and rim ((87Sr/86Sr)i=0.7037) is consistent with formation of the more An-rich rim due to pressure release. Variations in the core may be related to movements of the crystal and/or magma mixing. A trace-element profile across a megacryst shows a small increase in Sr and small decreases in Ba and La contents of the recalculated melt composition across the core-rim boundary, whereas P, Ce, Nd and Eu remain constant. Melt compositional changes upon emplacement are therefore considered to be of minor importance. Constant ratios of incompatible trace elements in the megacryst cores indicate a dominant influence of a lower crustal source on trace-element budgets.  相似文献

The intrusive complexes of Gremiakha-Vyrmes and Soustov represent the two extremes of the Early Proterozoic alkaline plutons of Kola, predominantly composed of feldespathoidal syenites. Gremiakha-Vyrmes rocks (zircon age: 1,884Lj Ma) have trace-element and isotope signatures (87Sr/86SrtƸ.704, )Ndt,-3-1.3) compatible with an ultimate mantle origin. Soustov syenites (zircon age: 1,872NJ Ma) are totally different and show an acute crustal imprint. They have sodaline and analcite instead of nepheline, contain a plethora of REE-HFSE-rich accessories, and are characterised by elevated contents of F, Cl, REE, Y, Th, U, Zr, Hf, Nb, Ta, Sn, Be, Li, Rb, Tl, Pb and Cs, negative Eu anomalies, K/Rb겞-160, Nd/Thƻ, and Nb/Taᄼ, with extremely high 87Sr/86Srt (>0.720) and, at the same time, relatively high )Ndt (,-1.6-1.7). In this paper, we explore the idea that the anomalous features of Soustov syenites can be explained if we assume they are derived from a metasomatic agent, initially an H2O-CO2 supercritical fluid released by alkaline mafic magmas, that was profoundly contaminated during percolation through crustal materials. As percolation advanced, the bulk composition of the fluid solute changed from alkali halides and carbonates to a silica-undersaturated alkaline melt. When the fluid cooled to a temperature of ~550-600 °C, it reached the point at which vapor and melt were no longer miscible and split into two components, a vapour phase and a Cl- and F-rich silica-undersaturated silicate melt that crystallised to produce Soustov syenites. To study this process, we have developed a numerical method for modelling the solute composition of the fluid during the infiltration metasomatism. Our results, using the LREE abundances and the Sr and Nd isotope composition of a Gremiakha-Vyrmes pegmatite as the starting solute composition of the fluid, and the mode and mineral trace-element and isotope composition of a common Kola gneiss as representative of percolated materials, indicate that the fluid would have acquired a signature closely matching Soustov's, even in the case of Nd isotopes, if the gneiss age is 2.9 Ga, near its real age. This model is still a mere working hypothesis that needs further refinements, but may represent a reasonable explanation of the genesis of anomalous alkaline rocks with high 87Sr/86Srt and )Ndt̾, either saturated or undersaturated, which are difficult to understand in terms of magmatic fractionation/contamination.  相似文献

A late Mesozoic belt of volcanic–intrusive complexes occursin SE China. Volcanic activity at Xiangshan in the NW of thebelt took place mainly in the Late Jurassic (158–135 Ma).The volcanic rocks from the Xiangshan volcanic complex includerhyolitic crystal tuffs, welded tuffs, rhyolite lavas, porphyriticlavas, and associated subvolcanic rocks. Mineral assemblagesin these magmatic rocks include K-feldspar, plagioclase, quartz,Fe-rich biotite and minor amphibole, orthopyroxene and almandine.Mineral geothermometry indicates a high crystallization temperature(>850°C) for the Xiangshan magmas. The volcanic rocksare generally peraluminous; SiO2 contents are between 65·4%and 76·8% and the samples have high alkalis, rare earthelements (REE), high field strength elements and Ga contentsand high Ga/Al ratios, but are depleted in Ba, Sr and transitionmetals. Trace element geochemistry and Sr–Nd–O isotopesystematics imply that the Xiangshan magmas were probably derivedfrom partial melting of Middle Proterozoic metamorphic lower-crustalrocks that had been dehydrated during an earlier thermal event.These features suggest an A-type affinity. Quenched mafic enclaves,hosted by the subvolcanic rocks, consist mainly of alkali feldspar,plagioclase, clinopyroxene, phlogopite and amphibole. Geothermometrycalculations indicate that the primary magmas that chilled toform the quenched enclaves had anomalously high temperatures(>1200°C). The quenched enclaves have boninitic affinities;for example, intermediate SiO2 contents, high MgO and low TiO2contents, high Mg-numbers and high concentrations of Sc, Ni,Co and V. However, they also have shoshonitic characteristics,e.g. enrichment in alkalis, high K2O contents with high K2O/Na2Oratios, high light REE and large ion lithophile element contents,low initial Nd values (–4·2) and high initial 87Sr/86Srratios (0·7081). We suggest a phlogopite-bearing spinelharzburgitic lithospheric mantle source for these high-Mg potassicmagmas. Underplating of such anomalously high-temperature magmascould have induced granulite-facies lower-crustal rocks to partiallymelt and generate the Xiangshan A-type volcanic suite. A back-arcextensional setting, related to subduction of the Palaeo-Pacificplate, is favoured to explain the petrogenesis of the Xiangshanvolcanic complex and quenched enclaves.

The British Tertiary Volcanic Province (BTVP) comprises within-platecentral igneous complexes associated with plateau lavas andregional dyke swarms. Lundy is the southernmost complex of theBTVP and comprises granite ({small tilde}90%) emplaced intodeformed Devonian sedimentary rocks within the Hercynian Cornubiangranite province of southwest England. The complex is intrudedby a northwest-southeast trending dyke swarm. In common withother BTVP igneous complexes, Lundy is associated with positivegravity and magnetic anomalies which are interpreted in termsof the presena of an underlying basic intrusion at shallow depth,with a volume exceeding that of the overlying granite. The Lundy intrusion is a coarse-grained megacrystic granitecontaining up to 20% alkali feldspar megacrysts in a coarse-grainedgroundmass composed of alkali feldspar, quartz, lithium-bearingmuscovite, and ‘biotite’ (lithian siderophyllite),with a range of aaxssory minerals. The main granite has a coarse-grained(locally miarolitic) pegmatitic facies and is intruded by thinsheets and veins of fine-grained aplite and microgranite. Themineralogy indicates crystallization of the Lundy granite froma highly fractionated H2O- and halogen-rich magma at a relativelyshallow crustal level. The main Lundy granite is a peraluminous leucogranite with Na2O=3–4%,K2O{small tilde}5%, low TiO2, MeO, CaO, Zr, and Sr, and highRb and Rb/Sr in comparison with many other peralurninous granites,including those from the Cornubian batholith and the BTVP. Anew Rb-Sr whole-rock isochron for the granite yields an ageof 58?7?1?6 Ma with an initial 87Sr/86Sr of 0?715?0?006. Ndvalues for the granite (–0?9 to –1?9) plot betweencontemporaneous mantle (positive Nd and Cornubian granites (Nd=ca.–11). The trace element data (Rb, Y, Nb) show affinities with syn-collisionand within-plate granites. As the Sr isotope data indicate amajor crustal component, and the Nd isotope data suggest bothmantle and crustal components, we propose that the Lundy graniteis derived from a parental magma comprising crustal components(derived from a similar source to that of the Cornubian granitebatholith) and a mantle-derived component (derived from a differentiateof contemporaneous basaltic magma This magma experienced fractionalcrystallization of plagioclase, alkai feldspar, Fe-Mg minerals,and REE-bearing accessory minerals before emplacement, and theLundy granite experienced further in situ fractional crystallization,associateded with crustal contamination by the Devonian shaleafter emplacement.  相似文献

The Ashland pluton is a calc-alkaline plutonic complex thatintruded the western Paleozoic and Triassic belt of the KlamathMountains in late Middle Jurassic time. The pluton comprisesa series of compositionally distinct magma pulses. The oldestrocks are hornblende gabbro and two-pyroxene quartz gabbro withinitial 87Sr/86Sr = 0{dot}7044, 18O = 8{dot}7%, and REE patternswith chondrite normalized La/Lu = 7. These units were followedby a suite of tonalitic rocks (LaN/LuN = 7) and then by a suiteof K2O- and P2O5 rocks of quartz monzodioritic affinity (LaN/LuN= 13–21; LaN/SmN = 2{dot}4–3{dot}) The quartz monzodioriticrocks were then intruded by biotite granodiorite and granitewith lower REE abundances but more fractionated LREE(LaN/LuN= 13–19; LaN/SmN = 4{dot}3–6 and they, in turn,were host to dikes and bosses of hornblende diorite. The latestintrusive activity consisted of aplitic and granitic dikes.Combined phase equilibria and mineral composition data, indicateemplacement conditions of approximately Ptotal = 2{dot}3kb,PH2O between 1{dot}5 and 2{dot}2 kb, and fO2 between the nickel-nickeloxide and hematite-magnetite buffers. Successive pulses of magma display increasing SiO2 togetherwith increasing 18O and decreasing initial 87Sr/86Sr. The isotopicdata are consistent with either (1) combined fractional crystallizationof andesitic magma and concurrent assimilation of crustal materialcharacterized by low Sr1 and high (18O or, more probably, (2)a series of partial melting events in which sources were successivelyless radiogenic but richer in 18O Each intrusive stage displaysevidence for some degree of crystal accumulation and/or fractionalcrystallization but neither process adequately accounts fortheir compositional differences. Consequently, each stage appearsto represent a distinct partial melting or assimilation event. The P2O5-rich nature of the quartz monzodiorite suite suggestsaccumulation of apatite. However, the suite contains abundantmafic microgranitoid enclaves and most apatite in the suiteis acicular. These observations suggest that magma mixing affectedthe compositional variation of the quartz monzodiorite suite.Mass balance calculations are consistent with a simple mixingprocess in which P2O5-rich alkalic basalt magma (representedby the mafic microgranitoid enclaves) was combined with a crystal-poorfelsic magma (represented by the tonalite suite), yielding aquartz monzodioritic magma that then underwent differentiationby crystal fractionation and accumulation.  相似文献

Manam volcano consists of relatively mafic and compositionallysimilar tholeiitic basalts and low-SiO2 andesites that are characterizedby notably low (mainly 0?3–0?35 weight per cent) TiO2contents. These rocks provide an ideal opportunity to investigateboth the extent of depletion in their peridotite magma-sourceregions (which are evidently similar in many respects to thehighly depleted sources of boninitic magmas), and the interplayof the high-level processes of magma mixing, crystal fractionation,and upper crustal contamination, in an island-are volcano. Manamrocks have pronounced enrichments in Rb, Ba, K, and Sr relativeto the light rare-earth elements and, especially, to the high-field-strengthelements (Sr/Ti values are exceptionally high). However, thereis no compelling evidence that these enrichments were causedby addition of a hydrous, slab-derived component to the peridotitesource region. Nd and Sr-isotope ratios plot within the oceanicmantle array; 207Pb/204Pb values are only slightly higher thanthose for oceanic rocks; and the absence of hydrous minerals,the early crystallization and modal preponderance of plagioclaseover pyroxene, high estimated quenching temperatures, and lowwater contents in the Manam rocks, are all evidence that themagmas crystallized under markedly water-undersaturated conditions.Unusually anorthite-rich plagioclase phenoerysts in the morediffrentiated rocks may correspond to crystallization underhigher water-vapour pressures, possibly caused by influxes ofgroundwater, or they may be accidental xenocrysts. Fractionationof olivine, clinopyroxene, and spinel (early chromite followedby magnetite) has dominated the evolution of the magma series.However, clear correlations between incompatible trace-elementratios, 87Sr/86Sr, and 100 Mg/(Mg ? Fe2?) values are convincingevidence for an accompanying mixing process—either of(1) two basaltic magma types (one more fractionated and lowerin 87Sr/86Sr than the other), or (2) pristine magmas and contaminantfrom basaltic conduit and reservoir wall rocks. Wall-rock contaminationis the less likely process, and is the more difficult one toidentify, particularly if it accompanied magma mixing.  相似文献

Most of the flows in the Palaeocene lava pile remnant of Skyeare members of the Skye Main Lava Series (SMLS), comprisingtransitional basalts and two associated suites of evolved lavas.The first suite evolves through Fe-rich hawaiites and mugearitesto benmoreites, and the second suite evolves through Fe-poorintermediates to trachytes. Ca-rich, alkali-poor olivine tholeiites(the Preshal Mhor magma type) occur as sparse flows in the stratigraphicallyhighest parts of the lava pile remnant and are abundant in thedyke swarm transecting it. Initial 87Sr/86Sr ratios rangingfrom 0.70308 to 0.70571 in 45 SMLS samples show no significantcorrelation with degree of zeolitization (H2O+), silica saturation,or 87Rb/86Sr. A moderately good negative correlation with totalSr confirms published Pb-isotope evidence of interaction withancient, sialic crust. Details of the (87Sr/86Sr)l versus Srpattern are consistent with previous hypotheses that the SMLSbasalt-benmoreite suite evolved at a depth near the Moho, whilstthe low-Fe trend to trachyte resulted from near-surface basaltfractionation. (87Sr/86Sr)l values ranging from 0.70307 to 0.70621 for PreshalMhor basalts show a strong positive correlation with total Sr,consistent with a model of extensive fractionation within theupper crust of a mantle-derived low 87Sr/86Sr-low Sr magma,which became progressively contaminated with comparatively radiogeniccrustal Sr. The lowest measured (87Sr/86Sr)l values of 0.70307and 0.70308, for a Preshal Mhor basalt and for an SMLS basaltrespectively, are consistent with the hypothesis that thesetwo magma types were produced by successive phases of partialmelting from a single volume of upper mantle. (87Sr/86Sr)l values for additional miscellaneous basaltic lavas,dykes and major intrusives from Skye and from nearby Isle ofMull exhibit considerable variability within the range 0.7038to 0.7072, whilst three basaltic dykes from Northern Englandare in the range 0.7089 to 0.7123. The latter values overlapwith published (87Sr/86Sr)l values for some of the granitesin the Tertiary Province of northwest Scotland and indirectlyremove objections based on Sr-isotopic arguments to the genesisof the granites by fractionation of basalt contaminated withcrustal Sr, but neither prove this nor disprove large-scalecrustal partial fusion.  相似文献

Twelve new Sr-isotope analyses and seventeen new rare earthelement distribution patterns are reported for basalts fromIceland and the Reykjanes Ridge, together with Rb, Sr, Na2O,K2O, TiO2, and P2O5 contents. The samples were chosen to representthe widest range of basalt types known from the Iceland-ReykjanesRidge system. 87Sr/86Sr ratios range from 0.70291 ?4 to 0.70325?5 for tholeiitesand up to 0.70341 ?7 for alkali basalt. Rare earth elementsalso show a wide range of both total abundance and degree oflight-REE fractionation (chondrite-normalised Ce/Yb ratios of0.30 to 3.36 for tholeiites and up to 7.07 for alkali basalt).As found in previous studies of either Sr-isotope compositionor REE distribution, the ocean floor basalts from the southernportion of the Reykjanes Ridge have lower 87Sr/86Sr and CeN/YbNratios than most of the Icelandic basalts. However, some highlyMg-rich tholeiites from Theistareykir in northern Iceland andKj?lur in central Iceland also have among the lowest valuesfor these parameters and are indistinguishable in this respectfrom the ridge basalts. There is a very strong positive, linear,correlation between 87Sr/86Sr and CeN/YbN for all the tholeiitesincluding some up to 16 m.y. old, but this relationship doesnot hold for the alkali basalts which have proportionately farhigher CeN/YbN ratios. There is also a positive, linear, correlationbetween 87Sr/86Sr and Sr content, but not between 87Sr/86Srand 1/Sr. These relationships are found to be incompatible with disequilibriummelting of a single mantle source region, whether by variabledegrees of partial melting with different mineral stabilityconditions, or by removal of successive incremental melts. Itis certain that the data reflect relatively gross chemical heterogeneityin the upper mantle beneath Iceland, but the correlation withSr content apparently rules out simple binary mixing models(mantle-plume hypothesis). It is proposed that the heterogeneities result from establishmentof a lithophile element gradient during a single chemical fractionationevent in the upper mantle at least 100–200 m.y. ago. Itis not possible at present to relate this geochemical gradientto known mantle structure.  相似文献

The Tourem granitic complex (North Portugal) consists of quartz-and alkali-feldspar-rich felsic granites, biotite- and plagioclase-richheterogeneous granites, and cordierite-biotite granites, containingnumerous enclaves of orthogneisses and metapelitic schists.Mineralogical, chemical, and experimental data suggest thatall the granites and the orthogneiss enclaves are geneticallyrelated. The felsic granites are characterized by normally zoned plagioclase,absence of cordierite, high SiO2 and K2O (72–74 wt.% and5?4–6?4 wt.%, respectively), moderate P2O5 and REE (0?22–0?24%and 85?0–95?7 ppm), and low Fe2O3* and Zr contents (1?3–1?5%and 80–90 ppm). These features are consistent with thoseof restite-free melts formed by low extents of melting. Meltingexperiments show that these felsic granites are likely to bederived by melting of a source material similar to the orthogneissenclaves under low water activities (0?5), at relatively hightemperature ( 800?C) and <30% melting. The heterogeneous and cordierite-biotite granites display highcordierite contents (up to 30%) in addition to biotite (5–25%),complexly zoned plagioclase, and high Fe2O3 (2?72–6?99%),CaO (0?56–1?95%), Zr (101–213 ppm), and Ce (39?8–98?1ppm) contents, suggesting that the melts contained significantproportions of residual biotite, cordierite, plagioclase, andaccessories. Experimental data indicate that the melts weregenerated under water-undersaturated conditions but by higherextents of melting (30–60% melting) with probably a largeramount of available water compared with the felsic granites. The major and trace element chemical trends of the granites,which do not define single arrays on two-element variation diagrams,and experimental data show that the generation of the Touremanatectic complex cannot be explained by the restite unmixingmodel but could have resulted from sequential low extents ofmelting with efficient melt segregation followed by higher extentsof melting with restite retention.  相似文献

Ultramafic xenoliths from alkali basalts in the Perjani Mountainsin the Eastern Transylvanian Basin (ETB) of Romania are mainlyspinel Iherzolites, although spinel harzburgites, websterites,clinopyroxenites and amphibole pyroxenites are also present.Amphibole veins cut some spinel peridotite samples. All arederived from the shallow lithospheric upper mantle. In general,textural variations are restricted to protogranular and porphyroclastictypes, compared with the more varied textures found in mantlexenoliths from the alkali basalts of the neighbouring PannonianBasin. Also, ETB peridotites are richer in amphibole. Thus,the mantle beneath the edge of the ETB is less deformed butmore strongly metasomatized than the mantle closer to the centreof the Pannonian Basin.Mineralogical and bulk-rock geochemicalvariations resemble those of spinel Iherzolites from other sub-continentalshallow mantle xenolith suites. There is no apparent correlationbetween deformation and geochemistry, and much of the majorand trace element variation is due to variable extraction ofpicritic melts. The REE patterns of separated clinopyroxenesfrom the peridotite xenoliths are mostly LREE depleted, althoughclinopyroxenes from regions adjacent to amphibole veins haveexperienced an enrichment in La and Ce and a change in theirSr and Nd isotopic values towards those of the vein, while stillretaining an overall LREE depletion. Clinopyroxenes from thewebsterites and clinopyroxenites are more variable. Amphibolein the hydrous pyroxenites and amphibole veins is strongly LREEenriched and is considered to be metasomatic in origin. 87Sr/86Srand 143Nd/l44Nd isotopic ratios of the xenoliths vary between07018 and 07044, and 051355 and 0 51275, respectively. Thesevalue are more depleted than those obtained for xenoliths fromthe Pannonian Basin. The lower l43Nd/l44Nd and higher 87Sr/Sr86values are found in anhydrous pyroxenites, metasomatic amphibolesin veins and amphibole pyroxenites, and in the only exampleof an equigranular spinel Iherzolite in the suite.The ETB xenolithswere brought to the surface in alkaline vokanism which post-dateda period of Miocene to Pliocene subduction-related cak-alkalinevolcanism. However, the effects of the passage of either slab-derivedfluids or cak-alkaline magmas through the ETB lithospheric mantlecannot be discerned in the chemistry of the xenoliths. The metasomaticamphibole has 87Sr/Sr86 and 143Sr/Sr144 ratios similar to thehost alkali basalts, but the least evoked cak-alkaline magmasalso have similar Sr and Nd isotope compositions. The REE patternsof the amphibole resembk those of amphiboles considered to havecrystallized from alkaline melts. No preferential enrichmentin elements typically associated with slab-derivedfluids (K,Rb and Sr) relative to elements typically depleted in cak-alkalinemagmas (Ti, 2jr and Nb) has been observed in the vein amphiboles,although some interstitial amphibole is depleted in all incompatibletrace elements, including LREE. Thus, despite its position closeto the calc-alkaline volcanic arc of the Eastern Carpathians,we cannot readily detect any interaction between the lithosphericupper mantle beneath the ETB and subduction-related magmas orfluids. Metasomatism in the lithospheric mantle is instead largelyrelated to the passage of a primitive alkaline magma similarto the host alkali basal *corresponding author  相似文献

The Petrogenesis of the Kirwan Basalts of Dronning Maud Land, Antarctica   总被引：3，自引：3，他引：0  
The 420 m thick sequence of Kirwan basalt crops out along thesouthernmost 50 km of the Kirwanveggen Escarpment (74?S, 6?W).There is little variation in major element chemistry of thesebasalts (SiO2 49?3–51?6 wt.%; MgO 5?1–6?6 wt.%),but the concentrations of certain incompatible elements (e.g.,Zr) vary by factors of approximately two or more. Most interelementplots show rather poor correlation (r<0?78), but rocks fromopposite ends of the data array can be related by 30% fractionationof plagioclase, clinopyroxene, olivine, and magnetite in theproportions 51:35:11:3. Plagioclase is much more abundant inphenocryst assemblages (85%) and it appears that selective transportof plagioclase to the surface occurred. The range in incompatible element concentrations cannot be explainedby crystal fractionation and is most probably a result of theparent liquids of these basalts being derived by slightly differentdegrees of partial melting of a common source, or alternativelyof open-system (RTF) magma processes. The strontium isotopedata for the freshest rocks (R0=0?7049–0?7065) may beexplained by 7% contamination by crustal material with an R0of 0?709 and bulk Sr of800 ppm, but there is little supportingevidence from other trace element variations for this hypothesis.Oxygen isotope determinations on whole-rock-plagioclase pairsshow that alteration has resulted in a 0?5%o shift in (18O.Alteration also appears to have resulted in a greater spreadof data, particularly for the LIL elements and Sr isotopes.The Sr and Nd isotopic composition of the suite is close tobulk Earth at 172 Ma and this, together with REE and other traceelement data, shows these basalts to be similar in compositionto the more primitive basalts among the Karoo basalt lavas.It is suggested that the Kirwan basalts were derived from asource which was similar to that of the southern Lebombo variantof the Sabie River Basalt Formation of the Karoo Volcanic Province.This part of the Karoo was closest to the Kirwanveggen beforethe break-up of Gondwanaland.  相似文献

A major, but gradual, reversal in the cryptic variation patternof the plagioclase and pyroxenes, of 13 mol% anorthite and 10mol% Mg/ (Mg + Fe) respectively, is documented in the Main Zoneof the western Bush veld Complex. These changes are accompaniedby a decrease in initial 87Sr/86Sr ratio from > 0.708 to< 0.707. The Pyroxenite Marker, a distinctive orthopyroxenitelayer, occurs close to the top of this reversed differentiationsequence. This is attributed to addition of less differentiatedmagma. On the basis of a mass balance calculation of the initial87Sr/ 86Sr ratios, it is estimated that the volume of magmaadded was comparable to that of the resident magma. Increases in the Fe2O3, TiO2, Al2O3, and Na2O contents of thepyroxenes above the level of magma addition indicate that thenew magma had a lower silica activity and higher fO2 than theresident magma. Quantification of the trace element and REEcontent of the two magmas is hampered by the very low proportionof trapped intercumulus component in these adcumulate rocks.However, semi-quantitative modelling indicates that the traceand REE signatures of the two magmas were similar, with moderateLREE enrichment and flat HREE profiles. The new magma had aslightly higher La/ Sm ratio than the resident magma, consistentwith its more alkaline nature. The new magma was probably added gradually, while 100–150m of cumulates formed. It probably intruded at an intermediatelevel within an existing stratified magma chamber, where itcooled and crystallized, and composite packets of liquid pluscrystals plunged to the base of the chamber. The cores of plagioclasegrains formed during this mixing interval show a wider rangeof compositions than in other sections, and plagioclase primocrystsfrom both magmas may be preserved within single samples. Therefore,although intimate physical mixing of packets of unknown sizeof the two magmas occurred, re-equilibration of the major oxidecomposition of the plagioclase primocrysts was not achieved.However, the data and calculations based on diffusion ratesindicate that partial Sr isotopic resetting of plagioclase mayhave occurred.  相似文献

Igneous rocks of broadly basaltic composition are widely distributedin the anorthosite-bearing Adirondack Highlands of New York.They constitute a mafic series of rocks that occurs on the marginsof the anorthosite series and up to 50 km away from the anorthosite.On an Sr reference diagram, the mafic series has an apparentinitial 87Sr/86Sr value of 0.7036, which is consistent with1100 Ma subcontinental mantle. The series was probably emplacedin the interval 1150–1100 Ma, during which time anorthositeand granitic magmas were also emplaced. The rocks were metamorphosedshortly thereafter ({small tilde} 1088 Ma) under upper-amphiboliteand granulite facies conditions. Individual bodies of maficrocks range in thickness from small enclaves and layers >>1 m thick to large lensoid masses several tens of meters thick.Despite deformation and metamorphic recrystallization, manyof the rocks retain chiHed margins, cross-cutting relationships,and relict igneous textures. Selected samples of the mafic series have been analyzed fortheir major and trace element compositions. Metamorphism didnot significantly alter the igneous geochemical relationships,and the rocks retain mantle-like values for Zr/Nb, K/Zr, K/Rb,Rb/Sr, and 87Sr/86Sr. The most primitive rocks of the seriesare silica-undersaturated gabbroic troctolites, and the moreevolved rocks are basaltic in composition. The mafic seriesas a whole has high abundances of A12O3, FeO, the light rareearth elements (LREE), and other incompatible trace elements.Even the most geochemically primitive compositions have highFeO contents. The Fe enrichment and Si depletion that are shownby chemically evolved compositions are consistent with a Fennertrend of fractionation. Low levels of normative di indicatethat high Fe is not a result of the extensive fractionationof cpx. The geochemical trends that are defined by the traceelements, including the REE, suggest the basaltic rocks maybe differentiates of a parental magma of gabbroic troctolitecomposition. The main compositional trend of the mafic seriescan be simulated by 61% crystallization of olivine and plagioclaseof a gabbroic troctolite, followed by 13% crystallization ofolivine, plagioclase, clinopyroxene, and titanomagnetite atthe final stages. The modelled ratio of olivine to plagioclasecrystallization changes from 1–8: 1 to 0–64: 1.These non-cotectic ratios may reflect a delay in the crystallizationof plagioclase relative to olivine, possibly as a result oflow nucleation rates. At later stages of differentiation, plagioclasewas more important in the crystallization of the series. Delayedcrystallization of plagioclase may also have resulted in thehigh A12O3 contents and enhancement of Eu and Sr relative toother trace elements at early stages of differentiation. The mafic series and the silica-saturated anorthosite seriestogether form an anorthosite-norite-troctolite (ANT) suite.More than one mantle composition may have been involved in generatingthe Adirondack mafic magmas. The rocks retain geochemical evidenceof a source that was depleted in basaltic components (cpx) butenriched in Fe, Ti, K, and the LREE. Previously documented evidenceof anticlockwise cooling paths (Bohlen, 1987) and of a regionalgravity high centered beneath the Adirondack region (Simmons,1964) suggests that of the continental crust by basaltic magmasmay have underplating of the continental crust by basaltic magmasmay have been an important feature of the tectonic evolutionofthe region. A model of mantle upwelling beneath thinning continentalcrust explains the geochemically hybrid nature of the maficseries magmas. It is also consistent with a tectonic settingof incipient or failed continental rifting, to which the generationof the anorthosites is commonly attributed.  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
