Evidence is presented for the primary high pressure crystallization of the Ewarara, Kalka and Gosse Pile layered intrusions which form part of the Giles Complex in central Australia. These pressures are estimated at 10 to 12 kb. The high pressure characteristics include subsolidus reactions between olivine and plagioclase, orthopyroxene and plagioclase, and orthopyroxene and spinel; spinel and rutile exsolution in both ortho- and clino-pyroxene; spinel exsolution in plagioclase; high Al2O3 and Cr2O3 contents of both ortho- and clinopyroxene; high AlVI in clinopyroxene; dominance of orthopyroxene as an early crystallizing phase; high distribution coefficients for co-existing pyroxene pairs; and thin chilled margins. Such phenomena are rare in documented layered basic intrusions.  相似文献

Distribution coefficients (K D·Fe ++ –Mg) calculated for orthopyroxene-clinopyroxene pairs from 12 basic granulites of the Quairading district, Western Australia, range from 1.87 for magnesian pyroxenes (Opx Mg value=78.1) to 1.70 for iron-rich varieties (Opx Mg value 37.7). Field and petrographic evidence indicates that these pyroxenes have probably reached equilibrium within a narrow temperature range. In order to account for the observed variation of K D values it is suggested that one (or both) of the pyroxene structures is not the ideal Fe++-Mg solution proposed in the thermodynamic model of the pyroxene equilibrium exchange. After consideration of the geometry of the pyroxene cation sites, the relative bond energies of each site (especially crystal field stabilization energy) and structural ordering a model is proposed to explain the non-ideal behaviour of Fe++-Mg in the pyroxene system. The distribution pattern in low-iron pyroxenes will probably show Fe++ favouring the M 2·Opx site; competing unfavourably with Mg++ for the M 1·Cpxsite; and probably excluded by Mg++ from the M 1·Opxsite. As the iron content of the system increases the M 2·Opxsite will begin to become saturated with Fe++ and this ion will enter the M 1·Opx site. Further increases in the iron content of the system will cause the Fe++-Mg distribution to depend increasingly on the relative attraction of the M 1 sites of both pyroxenes. Of these sites Fe++ should show preference to the more distorted M 1·Cpxsite. The distribution coefficient reflects this swing towards a relative enrichment of Fe++ in the clinopyroxene by decreasing regularly with increasing iron content. It is likely that this downward trend will not become evident until the iron content of the M 2·Opx site reaches saturation. This would explain why the K D values for the magnesian pyroxenes remain practically unchanged until the orthopyroxene Mg value is approximately 60; from here on the iron-rich pyroxenes show a rapid decrease in K D value with increasing iron content.The Ca content of the pyroxenes is also significant since the Quairading pyroxenes show a marked increase in mutual solubility with increasing iron content. Calcium taken into the orthopyroxene structure will enter the M 2 site ahead of Fe++ so that this site will reach Fe++ saturation at a lower iron content than when the orthopyroxene is Ca-free.The application of K D values to the regional study of basic granulites, particularly when establishing relative temperature zones on the basis of K D variation, should only be attempted when pyroxenes which extend over a wide range of Fe-Mg content are available.  相似文献

Lamellar nigerite is found in Zn-rich spinel from a sample that contains chiefly anthophyllite + spinel + cordierite, lesser amounts of quartz and chlorite, as well as sphalerite, pyrite, pyrrhotite, and galena, and rare cassiterite and rutile. Nigerite can be described as interlayering of spinel-like (R2+Al2O4) and nolanite-like ((Sn, Ti)Al4O8) structures. In nigerite, the spinel-like part is also compositionally related to spinel, but in the nolanite-like part only the structural analogy exists. Stoichiometric assumptions that relate the anhydrous cation sum to the amount of R4+ cations present, allow Fe3+ estimates from microprobe analyses, and a representative analysis gives the following anhydrous formula: Mg1.30Fe 0.65 2+ Zn3.03Mn0.03Al11.65Fe 0.35 3+ Sn0.32Ti0.18O24.The nigerite is Zn-rich with a Zn ratio (Zn/(Zn+Mg+ Fe2+)) of about 0.59, and the Sn ratio (Sn/(Sn+Ti)) that ranges from about 0.63 to 0.41. The Fe3+ content in these samples ranges from 0.35 to 0.52 (24 oxygen basis).Textures suggest that the nigerite could have formed by the breakdown of R 2 2+ (Sn, Ti)O4 and R2+Al2O4 spinel components during more complex reactions. An experimental investigation of the MgAl2O4-Mg2SnO4 join indicates that the solubility of Mg2SnO4 component in spinel over the T interval 500 to 900° C is about 0.5 to 3.0 mole %. This, coupled with the increased solubility expected from the presence of Ti, gives good agreement with the 2.4 to 2.6 mole % R 2 2+ (Sn, Ti)O4 component in spinel that is estimated to be the maximum necessary to form the compositions and amounts of observed nigerite.  相似文献

Existing data on the temperature and composition dependence of the Fe2+-Mg2+ distribution between Fe-Mg olivine and orthopyroxene, the intra-crystalline distribution of Fe2+ and Mg2+ between M1 and M2 sites in orthopyroxene, and macroscopic activity-composition relations in olivine and orthopyroxene are shown to be inconsistent with generally accepted thermodynamic formulations which assume that the non-configurational Gibbs energy of orthopyroxene is independent of the degree of long-range ordering of Fe2+ and Mg+ between M1 and M2 sites. These data are interpreted in terms of the constraints they provide on the size of Bragg-Williams type energy, entropy, and volume terms for olivine and orthopyroxene. The apparent equilibrium constant for Fe-Mg exchange between olivine and orthopyroxene is shown to be a potentially useful ‘geothermometer’ for olivine-orthopyroxene assemblages with olivines with mole fraction of Fe2SiO4 component less than 0.2 or greater than 0.6. A provisional calibration of this ‘geothermometer’ is presented.  相似文献

A crystal chemical investigation of clinopyroxenes from a suite of nepheline-bearing lavas located in the Nyambeni Range of Kenya has delineated the polyhedral site configurations and related intracrystalline relationships. These are distinct from those determined for the clinopyroxene in an analogous suite of leucite-bearing lavas from the Sabatini volcanoes in the Roman Region of Italy (Dal Negro et al. 1985).The Nyambeni clinopyroxene, varying from salite to hedenbergite, preferentially accepts Na in the M2 site to balance increasing Fe2+ and Si, respectively, whereas the Sabatini clinopyroxene is confined within the salite field and preferentially accepts Aliv to balance the effect of increasing (Fe3++Ti4++Alvi+Cr3+)M1.The Fe2+/Fe3+ and K/Na ratios of the host rocks emerge as significant factors in determining the different polyhedral configurations and evolutions of the clinopyroxene from the two lava suites, respectively. The resulting Mg-Fe2+ order-disorder relationships in M1–M2 are also distinct in the two clinopyroxenes. A high degree of MgFe2+ order in M1–M2 corresponds to the largest configurational, hence energetic, difference between M1 and M2 in the Nyambeni clinopyroxene, whereas the converse applies to the Sabatini clinopyroxene.In view of the significant crystal chemical differences and distinct evolution trends, it is proposed that salites from alkali volcanic rocks may be referred to as Nyambeni-type or Sabatini-type, respectively.  相似文献

 This paper presents an improved generalisation of cation distribution determination based on an accurate fit of all crystal-chemical parameters. Cations are assigned to the tetrahedral and octahedral sites of the structure according to their scattering power and a set of bond distances optimised for spinel structure. A database of 295 spinels was prepared from the literature and unpublished data. Selected compositions include the following cations: Mg2+, Al3+, Si4+, Ti4+, V3+, Cr3+, Mn2+, Mn3+, Fe2+, Fe3+, Co2+, Ni2+, Zn2+ and vacancies. Bond distance optimisation reveals a definite lengthening in tetrahedral distance when large amounts of Fe3+ or Ni2+ are present in the octahedral site. This means that these cations modify the octahedral angle and hence the shared octahedral edge, causing an increase in the tetrahedral distance with respect to the size of the cations entering it. Some applications to published data are discussed, showing the capacity and limitations of the method for calculating cation distribution, and for identifying inconsistencies and inaccuracies in experimental data.

Clinopyroxene and orthopyroxene megacrysts containing garnet lamellae up to 1.2 mm thick as an exsolved phase are found rarely in kimberlites from Frank Smith and Bellsbank. Chemically the clinopyroxenes are characteristically subcalcic, being within the range of 100 Ca/Ca + Mg + Fe = 27 to 36, and the orthopyroxenes are characterized by high Al2O3 and Cr2O3. Immediately after crystallization during very slow cooling, clinopyroxene and orthopyroxene exsolve wide-spaced orthopyroxene and clinopyroxene phases parallel to (100) of the host phases, respectively, then both host and exsolved phases exsolve garnet lamellae. Topotactic relations between pyroxenes and garnet are determined by X-ray for the first time. Partitioning of major and minor elements among the coexisting clinopyroxene, orthopyroxene and garnet in pyroxene megacrysts is the same as that of the granular-type garnet peridotite xenoliths in Lesotho and South African kimberlies. Mineralogy and chemistry indicate that subcalcic clinopyroxene and orthopyroxene megacrysts contain respectively about 10 and 3 mole % of the garnet molecule in solid solution.  相似文献

The partitioning of divalent (Co, Ni) and trivalent (Sc, Cr) trace elements between olivine, ortho- and clinopyroxene and spinel from spinel peridotite xenoliths has been investigated. These peridotites cover a wide range in modal composition from dunite to primitive lherzolites and have equilibrated in the upper mantle between >900° C and <1,200° C.The distribution of Co and Ni shows only minor variation through the whole sequence. In contrast, Sc partitioning between ortho- and clinopyroxene and olivine and clinopyroxene as well as Cr partitioning between olivine and clinopyroxene or olivine and orthopyroxene display high but systematic variations which can be assigned to dependences upon equilibration temperatues. Empirical temperature calibrations are given for Sc-orthopyroxene/clinopyroxene, Sc-olivine/clinopyroxene and Cr-olivine/clinopyroxene which, in principle, may permit to estimate equilibration temperatures not only for lherzolites or harzburgites but for orthopyroxene-free peridotites, too.Sc and Ni partition coefficients between spinel and mantle silicate minerals are primarily dependent upon the major element composition of spinel (e.g. Cr and Al) although a temperature dependence can still be identified. Probably such compositional effects are not observed for trace element partitioning between pyroxenes and olivine or ortho- and clinopyroxene only for the reason that in normal spinel peridotites these minerals show much less variation in major element composition than their coexisting spinels.  相似文献

The compositions of coexisting hornblendes and biotites from amphibolite and granulite facies gneisses from the south coast of Western Australia were controlled by host rock composition, paragenesis, metamophic grade, pressure, and oxygen fugacity. The Mg/(Mg + Fe2+) and Mn/Fe2+ ratios in both minerals and possibly the Alvi contents of the hornblendes are related to host rock compositions. Metamorphic grade appears to influence, perhaps only indirectly, the Ti, Mn, and Fe3+ contents of both minerals and possibly the hornblende Ca content. The higher Ti and lower Mn contents of the granulite facies hornblendes and biotites are attributed to their coexistence with pyroxenes, whereas their lower Fe3+/(Fe2+ + Fe3+) ratios are probably due to lower oxygen fugacity in the granulite facies environment. Grade-related colour variations in both minerals were controlled by their Ti/Fe2+ and Fe3+/(Fe2+ + Fe3+ ratios. The relatively low Alvi contents of the hornblendes suggest low- to moderate-pressure metamorphism.Variations in element distribution coefficients are related to variations in mineral compositions rather than metamorphic grade. Thus KD(Aliv ?Si) is related to the Aliv andedenite alkali contents of the hornblendes, KD(Fe2+ ?Mg) to the distributions of Aliv ?Si and Alvi + Ti + Fe3+, KD(Mn) to the Mn contents of both minerals, and KD(Alvi) to the Alvi contents of the biotites.  相似文献

Summary Chemical compositions of orthopyroxene and clinopyroxene from the Jinchuan ultramafic intrusion have been obtained by electron microprobe analysis. The Mg number (MgO/(MgO + FeO)) for both pyroxenes falls within narrow ranges, 82–87 for clinopyroxene and 81–85.5 for orthopyroxene, suggesting limited magma differentiation in regard to the present igneous body. The Al2O3 content ranges from 2.44 wt.% to 4.43 wt.% and increases with decreasing Mg of the pyroxenes, i.e., with the more evolved magma. This is attributed to the relatively greater effects of Al2O3, TiO2, Cr2O3 and Fe2O3 than that of SiO2 on pyroxene crystallization.Negative linear relationships between Ti4+ and Si4+, and Al3+ and Si4+ characterize the pyroxenes. In clinopyroxene, regression of Si4+ versus Al3+ results in a straight line with a slope of –1.012, indicating that the decrease of Si4+ in the crystal structure is matched by an increase only in tetrahedral Al3+; octahedral Al3+ has remained relatively constant. The negative linear relationship between Ti4+ and Si4+ in clinopyroxene reflects either a greater tendency of Ti4+ to occupy octahedral sites than Al3+, or that replacement of Al3+ for Si4+ demands a more efficient charge balance. The scatter in plots of Ti4+ versus Si4+ for orthopyroxene indicates that charge balance is not as critical as structure symmetry.The crystallization temperature of pyroxene is calculated to be 1108–1229°C usingWood andBanno's (1973) two pyroxene thermometer, and is within 40°C of that calculated fromWells's (1977) thermometer. The distribution coefficient (Kd) for Mg2+ and Fe2+ between clinopyroxene and orthopyroxene is estimated to be 0.86, which is higher than that of the other intrusions and lower than that of mantle nodules, but still falls within their Kd-1/T trend. This suggests that the Kd value of pyroxene is controlled mainly by temperature.
Mineralchemie der Pyroxene der Jinchuan-Intrusion, China
Zusammenfassung Die chemische Zusammensetzung von Orthopyroxenen und Klinopyroxenen aus der ultramafischen Jinchuan Intrusion wurden mit der Mikrosonde bestimmt. Die Mg-Zahl (MgO/(MgO + FeO)) beider Pyroxene liegt innerhalb enger Grenzen, 82–87 für Klinopyroxen und 81–85.5 für Orthopyroxen. Dies weist auf beschränkte magmatische Differentiation der Intrusion hin. Der Al2O3-Gehalt liegt zwischen 2.44 Gew.%. und 4.43 Gew.%. und nimmt mit der abnehmenden Mg-Zahl der Pyroxene ab, d.h. mit dem mehr entwickelten Magma. Dies wird damit erklärt, daß Al2O3, TiO2, Cr2O3 und Fe2O3 einen größeren Einfluß auf die Kristallisation der Pyroxene ausüben als SiO2.Die Pyroxene werden durch negative lineare Beziehungen zwischen Ti4+ und Si4+, sowie Al3+ und Si4+ charakterisiert. In Klinopyroxenen resultiert die Regression von Si4+ gegen Al3+ in einer geraden Linie mit einer Neigung von –1.012. Dies weist darauf hin, daß die Abnahme der Si4+ Gehalte in die Kristallstruktur durch Zunahme von ausschliesslich tetraedrischem Al3+ kompensiert wird; oktaedrisches Al3+ ist relativ konstant geblieben. Die negative lineare Beziehung zwischen Ti4+ und Si4+ in Klinopyroxenen geht entweder auf eine stärkere Tendenz des Ti4O2, oktaedrische Plätze zu besetzen zurück, oder darauf daß ein Ersatz von Al3+ für Si4+ einen effizienteren Ladungsausgleich verlangt. Die unregelmäßige Verteilung der Plots von Ti4+ gegen Si4+ in Orthopyroxenen läßt erkennen, daß Ladungsausgleich hier nicht so kritisch ist wie die Symmetrie der Struktur.Die Kristallisationstemperatur der Pyroxene wurde mit dem Zwei Pyroxenthermometer nachWood undBanno (1973) mit 1108–1229°C bestimmt. Diese Werte liegen innerhalb von 40°C des vonWells (1977) berechneten. Der Verteilungskoeffizient (Kd) für Mg2+ und Fe2+ zwischen Klinopyroxen und Orthopyroxen wird auf 0.86 berechnet; das ist höher als der aus anderen Intrusionen und niedriger als der von Mantelxenolithen, fällt aber immer noch innerhalb des Kd-1/T Trends derselben. Dies legt den Gedanken nahe, daß der Kd Wert der Pyroxene hauptsächlich durch Temperatur bestimmt wird.

Ferric iron contents of coexisting ortho- and clinopyroxene from spinel lherzolite xenoliths were measured with Mössbauer spectroscopy and found to be significant. In orthopyroxene, the range in Fe3+/Fe is from 0.04 to 0.14; in clinopyroxene, the range is from 0.12 to 0.24. Reactions involving coexisting olivine, orthopyroxene, and clinopyroxene, where either the esseneite (CaFe3+ AlSiO6) or the acmite (NaFe3+Si2O6) component in the clinopyroxene is considered, are used to calculate oxygen fugacities. These oxygen fugacities agree well with those calculated with the olivine-orthopyroxene-spinel oxybarometer. Because these reactions do not involve garnet, spinel, or plagioclase, they may be applied to lherzolites to give internally-consistent oxygen fugacities across the pressure-dependent facies boundaries between plagioclase, spinel, and garnet lherzolite. Another application of this method is to predict the Fe3+/Fe in clinopyroxene coexisting with olivine and orthopyroxene given pressure, temperature, , and the compositions of the coexisting phases in either experimental or natural assemblages. At values of equal to those of the synthetic fayalite-magnetite-quartz buffer, for example, 15–35% of the iron in the clinopyroxenes from these xenoliths would be ferric. The simplifying assumption that all Fe is divalent in silicate phases at geologically — reasonable oxygen fugacities must be re-evaluated.  相似文献

This paper reports detailed studies on harzburgite and serpentinite in the Hegenshan ophiolitic mélange. Harzburgite consists mainly of olivine and orthopyroxene with trace amounts of clinopyroxene and chromian spinel. Clinopyroxene occurs as isolated crystals or in the intergrowth of chromian spinel–clinopyroxene–orthopyroxene. Harzburgite is moderately to highly depleted, displaying high Fo contents in olivine (90.8–92.2), moderate Al2O3 contents in orthopyroxene (1.59–2.79 wt%), low heavy REE abundances in clinopyroxene, and moderate Cr# values of spinel (0.50–0.62). The modal proportions of olivine and orthopyroxene pseudomorph grains imply that the parent of the Hegenshan serpentinite should be harzburgite. Whole-rock compositions of the harzburgite and serpentinite samples are characterized by depletions in Al2O3 and CaO and enrichments in light REE, Sr, and U. Geochemical modeling suggests that the Hegenshan harzburgite represents residues after 17–18% partial melting of the primitive mantle. The melt in equilibrium with clinopyroxene is more depleted than typical forearc basalt and boninite. Various pyroxene thermobarometers yield equilibrated temperatures of 945–1067 °C and pressures of 4.8–8.0 kbar for the Hegenshan harzburgite. The oxygen barometer yields results of +0.4 to +1.7 log units above the fayalite–magnetite–quartz buffer for the Hegenshan harzburgite. These petrological and geochemical characteristics, as well as the estimated P–T–fO2 conditions support a back-arc setting for the Hegenshan ophiolitic mélange.  相似文献

Iron isotope and major- and minor-element compositions of coexisting olivine, clinopyroxene, and orthopyroxene from eight spinel peridotite mantle xenoliths; olivine, magnetite, amphibole, and biotite from four andesitic volcanic rocks; and garnet and clinopyroxene from seven garnet peridotite and eclogites have been measured to evaluate if inter-mineral Fe isotope fractionation occurs in high-temperature igneous and metamorphic minerals and if isotopic fractionation is related to equilibrium Fe isotope partitioning or a result of open-system behavior. There is no measurable fractionation between silicate minerals and magnetite in andesitic volcanic rocks, nor between olivine and orthopyroxene in spinel peridotite mantle xenoliths. There are some inter-mineral differences (up to 0.2‰ in 56Fe/54Fe) in the Fe isotope composition of coexisting olivine and clinopyroxene in spinel peridotites. The Fe isotope fractionation observed between clinopyroxene and olivine appears to be a result of open-system behavior based on a positive correlation between the Δ56Feclinopyroxene-olivine fractionation and the δ56Fe value of clinopyroxene and olivine. There is also a significant difference in the isotopic compositions of garnet and clinopyroxene in garnet peridotites and eclogites, where the average Δ56Feclinopyroxene-garnet fractionation is +0.32 ± 0.07‰ for six of the seven samples. The one sample that has a lower Δ56Feclinopyroxene-garnet fractionation of 0.08‰ has a low Ca content in garnet, which may reflect some crystal chemical control on Fe isotope fractionation. The Fe isotope variability in mantle-derived minerals is interpreted to reflect subduction of isotopically variable oceanic crust, followed by transport through metasomatic fluids. Isotopic variability in the mantle might also occur during crystal fractionation of basaltic magmas within the mantle if garnet is a liquidus phase. The isotopic variations in the mantle are apparently homogenized during melting processes, producing homogenous Fe isotope compositions during crust formation.  相似文献

Partition of Fe2+ and Mg between coexisting (Mg, Fe)2SiO4 spinel and (Mg, Fe)SiO3 pyroxene was investigated at pressures 80 and 90 kbar and at temperatures 840 and 1050° C, using tetrahedral-anvil type of high pressure apparatus. Olivine-spinel solid solution equilibria in the system Mg2SiO4-Fe2SiO4 were discussed in the light of the partition reaction. Partition of Fe2+ and Mg in both olivine-spinel and pyroxene-spinel systems can not be regarded as that between ideal solid solutions. By applying the simple solution model for the partition of Fe2+ and Mg, sign of the heat of mixing was estimated to be positive for all olivine, spinel and pyroxene. Relative concentration of Fe2+ in spinel in the pyroxene-spinel system is likely to cause some change in the chemical composition of modified spinel () or spinel () in the transition zone of the mantle. A considerable change is also expected in the transition pressure of to ( + ) and ( + ) to .Presented at the symposium Recent Advances in the Studies of Rocks and Minerals at High Pressures and Temperatures held in Montreal, 1972.

Sapphirine occurs in the orthopyroxene-cordierite and feldspar-sillimanite granulites in the Sipiwesk Lake area of the Pikwitonei granulite terrain, Manitoba (97°40W, 55°05N). The orthopyroxene-cordierite granulites have extremely high Al2O3 (24.5 wt%) and MgO (24.6 wt%) contents and contain sapphirine (up to 69.2 wt% Al2O3), aluminous orthopyroxene (up to 8.93 wt% Al2O3), cordierite, spinel, phlogopite, and corundum. Sapphirine forms coronas mantling spinel and corundum. Corona sapphirine is zoned and its composition varies through the substitution (Mg, Fe, Mn) Si=2 Al as a function of the phases with which it is in contact. Textural and chemical relationships of sapphirine with coexisting phases indicate that spinel + cordierite reacted to form orthopyroxene + sapphirine under conditions of increasing pressure. Moreover, decreasing core to rim variation of Al2O3 in orthopyroxene porphyroblasts suggests decreasing temperature during sapphirine formation. On the basis of experimentally determined P-T stability of the assemblage enstatite + sapphirine + cordierite, and the Al content of hypothetical Fe2+-free orthopyroxene associated with sapphirine and cordierite, metamorphic temperatures and pressures are estimated to be 860–890° C and 3.0–11.2 kbar.In the feldspar-sillimanite granulites, sapphirine occurs as a relict phase mantled by sillimanite and/or by successive coronas of sillimanite and garnet. These textural relations suggest the reaction sapphirine + garnet + quartz = orthopyroxene + sillimanite with decreasing temperature. Compositions of minerals in the assemblage garnet-orthopyroxene-sillimanite-plagioclase-quartz, indicate metamorphic P-T conditions of 780–880° C and 9±1 kb.The metamorphic conditions estimated in this study suggest that the sapphirine bearing granulites in the Sipiwesk Lake area represent Archean lower crustal rocks. Their formation might be related to the crustal thickening processes in this area as suggested by Hubregtse (1980) and Weber (1983).  相似文献

The El Arenal metagabbros preserve coronitic shells of orthopyroxene ± Fe‐oxide around olivine, as well as three different types of symplectite consisting of amphibole + spinel, clinopyroxene + spinel and, more rarely, orthopyroxene + spinel. The textural features of the metagabbros can be explained by the breakdown of the olivine + plagioclase pair, producing orthopyroxene coronas and clinopyroxene + spinel symplectites, followed by the formation of amphibole + spinel symplectites, reflecting a decrease in temperature and, possibly, an increase in water activity with respect to the previous stage. The metagabbros underwent a complex P–T history consisting of an igneous stage followed by cooling in granulite, amphibolite and greenschist facies conditions. Although the P–T conditions of emplacement of the igneous protolith are still doubtful, the magmatic assemblage suggests that igneous crystallization occurred at a pressure lower than 6 kbar and at 900–1100 °C. Granulitic P–T conditions have been estimated at about 900 °C and 7–8 kbar combining conventional thermobarometry and pseudosection analysis. Pseudosection calculation has also shown that the formation of the amphibole + spinel symplectite could have been favoured by an increase in water activity during the amphibolite stage, as the temperature of formation of this symplectite strongly depends on aH2O (<740 °C for aH2O = 0.5; <790 °C for aH2O = 1). Furthermore, but not pervasive, re‐equilibration under greenschist facies P–T conditions is documented by retrograde epidote and chlorite. The resulting counterclockwise P–T path consists of progressive, nearly isobaric cooling from the igneous stage down to the granulite, amphibolite and greenschist stage.  相似文献

Three methods of geothermometry, currently used for spinel lherzolites, are refined based on new experiments on subsolidus phase equilibria of olivine, pyroxenes and spinel in CaO-MgO-Al2O3-SiO2 and natural rock systems at 16 kb and 1200 °C. Although quasi-thermodynamic modelling is employed, the methods are essentially based on the pyroxene solvus, alumina contents in clinopyroxene and orthopyroxene. Increasing alumina contents in pyroxenes reduce enstatite and diopside components in clinopyroxene and orthopyroxene, respectively. Thus, neglect of alumina in pyroxenes causes underestimates of temperatures by the solvus method.The three geothermometers were tested by applying them to homogeneous spinel lherzolites which were especially selected for this purpose. Coincidence of the three temperatures thus estimated gives confidence in the effectiveness of the geothermometers.They were also applied to spinel lherzolite nodules in basalts and intrusive lherzolites described in the literature. It was found that equilibration temperature of the nodules varies from 1000 °C to 1300 °C, i.e., temperatures somewhat higher than have been generally thought. In contrast to the nodules, the intrusive spinel lherzolites show extensive disequilibrium, which is probably due to retrogressive metamorphism suffered by the intrusives.  相似文献

High-grade metamorphic rocks were used to explore oxygen isotope fractionations between pyroxene and garnet, and to investigate the effects on fractionation factors of the cation substitutions Fe3+Al?1 and Ca(Fe,Mg)?1. Recrystallized, granulite facies (725 °C) wollastonite ores from the northern Adirondack highlands contain essentially only the minerals clinopyroxene (a Di–Hd solid solution)+garnet (a Grs–Adr solid solution)±wollastonite, and exhibit a systematic dependence of measured fractionations on the Fe3+ content of calcic garnet: Δ(Cpx–CaGrt)=(0.14±0.12)+(0.78±0.20)XAdr and Δ(Wo–CaGrt)=(0.15±0.22)+(0.57±0.33)XAdr. In eclogites formed at T ≤650 °C, measured compositions of Ca-poor garnet and omphacite combined with experimental data indicate that Ca-poor, Fe-rich garnet is enriched in 18O compared to both diopside and grossular: extrapolating to 1000 K, Δ(Alm–Di)≈c. 0.2 and Δ(Alm–Grs)≈c. 0.5. Orthopyroxene and clinopyroxene from Gore Mountain, New York, show a constant fractionation that is independent of rock type, as expected if they have the same closure temperature. These data imply Δ(Opx-Cpx)≈c. 0.7 at 1000 K. Measured fractionations among Ca-poor garnet, orthopyroxene, clinopyroxene and hornblende in the Gore Mountain rocks further indicate an 18O enrichment in Ca-poor garnet over Grs (≈c. 0.5 at 1000 K). The new measurements are indistinguishable from expected equilibrium values based on experiments for the minerals enstatite, diopside, grossular, wollastonite and feldspar, but consistently indicate a significant isotope effect for the simple octahedral cation substitutions Fe3+Al?1 (Grs vs. Adr) and Ca(Fe,Mg)?1 (Ca-poor garnet vs. Grs; Opx vs. Cpx). Neither cation substitution has been directly investigated for its effect on 18O/16O fractionation with experiments in silicates. Chemical characterization of minerals is required prior to petrological interpretation of oxygen isotope trends.  相似文献

Abstract Sapphirine-bearing rocks occur in three conformable, metre-size lenses in intrusive quartzo-feldspathic orthogneisses in the Curaçà valley of the Archaean Caraiba complex of Brazil. In the lenses there are six different sapphirine-bearing rock types, which have the following phases (each containing phlogopite in addition): A: Sapphirine, orthopyroxene; B: Sapphirine, cordierite, orthopyroxene, spinel; C: Sapphirine, cordierite; D: Sapphirine, cordierite, orthopyroxene, quartz; E: Sapphirine, cordierite, orthopyroxene, sillimanite, quartz; F: Sapphirine, cordierite, K-feldspar, quartz. Neither sapphirine and quartz nor orthopyroxene and sillimanite have been found in contact, however. During mylonitization, introduction of silica into the three quartz-free rocks (which represent relict protolith material) gave rise to the three cordierite and quartz-bearing rocks. Stable parageneses in the more magnesian rocks were sapphirine–orthopyroxene and sapphirine–cordierite. In more iron-rich rocks, sapphirine–cordierite, sapphirine-cordierite–sillimanite, cordierite–sillimanite, sapphirine–cordierite–spinel–magnetite and quartz–cordierite–orthopyroxene were stable. The iron oxide content in sapphirine of the six rocks increases from an average of 2.0 to 10.5 wt % (total Fe as FeO) in the order: C,F–A,D–B,E. With increase in Fe there is an increase in recalculated Fe2O3 in sapphirine. The four rock types associated with the sapphirine-bearing lenses are: I: Orthopyroxene, cordierite, biotite, quartz, feldspar tonalitic to grandioritic gneiss; II: Biotite, quartz, feldspar gneiss; III: Orthopyroxene, clinopyroxene, hornblende, plagioclase meta-norite; IV: Biotite, orthopyroxene, quartz, feldspar, garnet, cordierite, sillimanite granulite gneiss. The stable parageneses in type IV are orthopyroxene–cordierite–quartz, garnet–sillimanite–quartz and garnet–cordierite–sillimanite. Geothermobarometry suggests that the associated host rocks equilibrated at 720–750°C and 5.5–6.5 kbar. Petrogenetic grids for the FMASH and FMAFSH (FeO–MgO–Al2O3–Fe2O3–SiO2–H2O) model systems indicate that sapphirine-bearing assemblages without garnet were stabilized by a high Fe3+ content and a high XMg= (Mg/ (Mg+Fe2+)) under these P–T conditions.  相似文献

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-Obrg 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 AlIV, AlVI, 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 AlVI und Fe MI 2+ , in Zusammenhang gebracht.Das Volumen der tetraedrischen T-Position ist normalerweise mit den Gehalten an AllIV in jeder Serie verknüpft. Ein Vergleich der Klinopyroxene von Mt. Leura und Mt. Noorat zeigte jedoch, daß bei gleichen Gehalten an AlVI das Volumen der tetraedrischen Position infolge einer Aufwertung der T-Obrg.-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.
