Ultrapotassic basaltic lavas erupted 3.4–3.6 m.y. ago(K/Ar) in the central Sierra Nevada and originated by partialmelting of a phlogopite-enriched, garnet-bearing upper mantlesource. Ultrapotassic basanites (K2O: 5–9 per cent), whichare spatially related to contemporaneous potassic olivine basalts(K2O: 3–5 per cent) and alkali olivine basalts (K2O: 1–3per cent), contain the K2O-bearing minerals phlogopite, sanidine,and leucite as well as olivine, diopside, apatite, magnetite,and pseudobrookite. The presence and modal abundance of theK2O-bearing minerals closely reflects the east to west increasein K2O throughout the basaltic suite. Many lines of evidence support the derivation of the ultrapotassicbasanites and the related basalts from an upper mantle source:TiO2 in phlogopite phenocrysts and groundmass crystals, 2–3and 7–9 per cent respectively, support phlogopite phenocrystcrystallization at high pressure, whole rock Mg values (100Mg/Mg + 0.85 Fe) range from 66–78, phlogopite-rich pyroxeniticand periodotitic nodules are included in some flows, and geobarometriccalculations indicate depths of generation at 100–125km. Also, model calculations show that the major, rare earth,and trace elements, except for Ba, Rb, and Sr, can be accuratelygenerated by 1.0–2.5 per cent melting of a phiogopite-and garnet-bearing clinopyroxene-rich upper mantle source. Partialmelting occurred after a general upper mantle enrichment beneaththe Sierra Nevada, the phlogopite- and clinopyroxene-rich sourceof the ultrapotassic lavas being the extreme result of the enrichmentprocess. Clinopyroxene enrichment of the upper mantle probablyoccurred by introduction of a partial melting fraction intothe upper mantle source areas. Enrichment of the upper mantlein the alkali and alkali-earth elements was not accomplishedby a partial melt, but resulted from influx of a fluid phaserich in Ba, K, Rb, Sr, and, probably, H2O The continuous rangein K2O of the erupted lavas implies that the upper mantle enrichmentis a cumulative process. The inverse relationship in the SierraNevada between uplift and the K2O content of the erupted basaltsimplies that a critical relationship may exist between upliftand upper mantle enrichment.  相似文献

Sodic basalts of Oligocene-Early Micene age occur within anEarly Tertiary graben in the Oatlands district of Tasmania.They include olivine tholeiites, alkali olivine basalts, basanites,transitional nephelinites, nepheline hawaiites, and nephelinemugearites. They have compositional characteristics in commonwith sodic alkaline basalt suites from other parts of the world.With decreasing SiO2, concentrations of CaO, alkalis, P2O5,and incompatible trace elements increase. Compositional and experimental data for the basalts are consistentwith their derivation by polybaric partial melting of a garnetlherzolite source enriched in P2O5, light rare earths, Nb, andother incompatible trace elements. Experimental data for a primitivenepheline basanite from the Oatlands district indicate thatconcentrations of H2O+CO2 need not have been more than 6?5 wt.%for the original basanite magma to have derived from an amphibole-bearinggarnet lherzolite source. In the case of more SiO2-undersaturatedolivine melilitites from the neighbouring Central Plateau, theexperimental evidence is consistent with either higher concentrationsof H2O+CO2 (approaching 14 wt.%), or higher pressures of origin(>35 kb). Petrographic and geochemical evidence suggeststhat the latter is the more probable of the alternatives.  相似文献

Metasomatic mineral-bearing and/or trace element-enriched ultramaficassemblages have been reported from very few Alpine-type massifs.The small ultramafic body from Caussou (Ari?ge, northeasternPyrenees) compared with other north Pyrenean ultramafic complexesshows distinctive features which are similar to those of modallymetasomatized mantle xenoliths found in alkali basalts. It ismainly composed of clinopyroxene-rich spinel lherzolites (cpx/opxratios 1), with subordinate titanian pargasite-rich peridotites,both greatly depleted in orthopyroxene. Moreover the Caussouperidotites differ from other Ari?ge peridotites in the presenceof ilmenite, the abundance of sulfide inclusions in pyroxenesand amphiboles, higher Al, Ca, Na, K, Ti, and lower Mg contents,and enrichment in incompatible trace elements (ITE). Such mineralogicaland geochemical features are interpreted as resulting from modalmetasomatism produced by influxes of silicate melt into theperidotites. At Caussou, the metasomatic assemblage comprisesTi-pargasite+Ti-bearing clinopyr oxene+ilmenite+Ti-phlogopite+sulphide+fluid,suggesting that K, Ti, Na, ITE (including S, H2O CO2 and possiblyFe and Ca, were introduced by the metasomatizing agent. Thismetasomatism was probably imposed on an ultramafic associationdominated by LREE-depleted peridotites similar to the northPyrenean spinel lherzolites. These features indicate that, underupper lithospheric mantle conditions, a mafic melt locally infiltratedlherzolites by a grain-boundary percolation process and reactedwith the original mineral assemblage. The infiltration of alkali-basalticliquids into spinel peridotite led to: (1) partial dissolutionof orthopyroxene and, locally, spinel; (2) crystallization ofclinopyroxene directly from introduced melts; and (3) re-crystallization/equilibrationof pre-existing clinopyroxene with these magmatic liquids. Inthe last stage of the metasomatism, segregation of more fractionatedsilicate liquids, coexisting with a (CO2+H2O) fluid phase, mayhave been responsible for the crystallization of titanian pargasite,possibly by means of hydro-fracturing mechanism. The pervasive modal metasomatism at Caussou was contemporaneouswith the segregation of amphibole-bearing dykes in the Lherz-Freychin?debodies (northeast Pyrenees) (101–103 Ma). They representtwo manifestations of the same magmatic event in the lithosphericmantle, probably related the Middle Cretaceous alkaline magmatisrnof the Pyrenees.  相似文献

A suite of mantle peridotite xenoliths from the Malaitan alnoitedisplay both trace element enrichment and modal metasomatism.Pargasitic amphibole is present in both garnet- and spinelbearingxenoliths, formed by reaction of a metasomatic fluid (representedby H2O and Na2O) with the peridotite assemblage. Two pargasite-formingreactions are postulated, whereby spinel is totally consumed: 6MgAl2O4 + 8CaMgSi2O6 + 7Mg2Si2O6 + 4H2O + 2Na2O = 4NaCa2Mg4Al3Si6O12(OH)2+ 6Mg2SiO4 or spinel is both a reactant (low Cr) and a product (high Cr): 24MgAlCrO4 + 16CaMgSi2O6 + 14Mg2Si2O6 + 8H2O + 4Na2O = 8NaCa2Mg4Al3Si6O12(OH)2+ 12MgCr2O4 + 12Mg2SiO4 Seven garnet—spinel-peridotites display cryptic metasomatismas demonstrated by the LREE enrichment in clinopyroxenes. TheLREE enrichment correlates positively with 143ND/144ND (0?512771–0?513093)which defines a mixing line between a mantle MORB source anda metasomatic fluid. Isotopic evidence (Sr and Nd) from garnet,clinopyroxene, and amphibole demonstrate this fluid has notoriginated in the alnoite sensu stricto. Calculated amphiboleequilibrium liquids show a range in La/Yb and Ce/Yb ratios similarto those calculated for the augite and subcalcic diopside megacrysts.Sr and Nd isotope analyses from amphibole are within error ofthe augite (PHN4074) and subcalcic diopside megacrysts (CRN2I6,PHN4069, and PHN4085). It is concluded that fluids emanatedfrom a proto-alnoite magma throughout megacryst fractionation,and the mixing line was generated during the crystallizationof the subcalcic diopsides. This study demonstrates that metasomatismrepresented in these xenoliths is not a prerequisite for alnoitemagmatism, but is a consequence of it.  相似文献

Studies of the mantle-derived iherzolites from Nushan show that in addition to CO2,there were present H2O and small amounts of CO, CH4, SO2,Cl and F in the initial mantlc fluids derived fron the asthenospheric mantlc plumc .The imitial fluids accumulated in some regions of the mantle, resulting in lowering of the mantle solidus (and liquidus) and partial melting of the upper mantle. Melts formed from low-degree of fluid-involved partial melting of the upper mantle would be highly enriched in incompatible elements.Fluies and melts are allthe metasomatic agents for mantle metasomatism, and the interaction between them and the depleted mantle could result in the substan-tial local enrichment of LREE and incompatible elements in the latter.In case that the concentration of H2O in the fluids (and melts) is lower ,only cryptic metasomatism would occur, in case that the concentration of H2O is higher,the degree of partial melting would be higher and hydrous metasomatic phases(e.g. amphiboles )would nucleate. Under such circumstances, there would occur model metasomatism.  相似文献

The effects of small amounts of H2O (<4 wt % in the melt)on the multiply saturated partial melting of spinel lherzolitein the system CaO–MgO–Al2O3–SiO2 ±Na2O ± CO2 have been determined at 1·1 GPa inthe piston-cylinder apparatus. Electron microprobe analysisand Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy were used to analysethe experimental products. The effects of H2O are to decreasethe melting temperature by 45°C per wt % H2O in the melt,to increase the Al2O3 of the melts, decrease MgO and CaO, andleave SiO2 approximately constant, with melts changing fromolivine- to quartz-normative. The effects of CO2 are insignificantat zero H2O, but become noticeable as H2O increases, tendingto counteract the H2O. The interaction between H2O and CO2 causesthe solubility of CO2 at vapour saturation to increase withincreasing H2O, for small amounts of H2O. Neglect of the influenceof CO2 in some previous studies on the hydrous partial meltingof natural peridotite may explain apparent inconsistencies betweenthe results. The effect of small amounts of H2O on multiplysaturated melt compositions at 1·1 GPa is similar tothat of K2O, i.e. increasing H2O or K2O leads to quartz-normativecompositions, but increasing Na2O produces an almost oppositetrend, towards nepheline-normative compositions.

Four natural peridotite nodules ranging from chemically depletedto Fe-rich, alkaline and calcic (SiO2 = 43.7–45.7 wt.per cent, A12O3 = 1.6O–8.21 wt. per cent, CaO = 0.70–8.12wt. per cent, alk = 0.10–0.90 wt. per cent and Mg/(Mg+Fe2+)= 0.94–0.85) have been investigated in the hypersolidusregion from 800? to 1250?C with variable activities of H2O,CO2, and H2. The vapor-saturated peridotite solidi are 50–200?Cbelow those previously published. The temperature of the beginningof melting of peridotite decreases markedly with decreasingMg/(Mg+SFe) of the starting material at constant CaO/Al2O3.Conversely, lowering CaO/Al2O3 reduces the temperature at constantMg/(Mg+Fe) of the starting material. Temperature differencesbetween the solidi up to 200?C are observed. All solidi displaya temperature minimum reflecting the appearance of garnet. Thisminimum shifts to lower pressure with decreasing Mg/(Mg + Fe)of the starting material. The temperature of the beginning ofmelting decreases isobarically as approximately a linear functionof the mol fraction of H2O in the vapor (XH2Ov). The data alsoshow that some CO2 may dissolve in silicate melts formed bypartial melting of peridotite. Amphibole (pargasitic hornblende) is a hypersolidus mineralin all compositions, although its P/T stability field dependson bulk rock chemistry. The upper pressure stability of amphiboleis marked by the appearance of garnet. The vapor-saturated (H2O) liquidus curve for one peridotiteis between 1250? and 1300?C between 10 and 30 kb. Olivine, spinel,and orthopyroxene are either liquidus phases or co-exist immediatelybelow the temperature of the peridotite liquidus. The data suggest considerable mineralogical heterogeneity inthe oceanic upper mantle because the oceanic geotherm passesthrough the P/T band covering the appearance of garnet in variousperidotites. The variable depth to the low-velocity zone is explained byvariable aHjo conditions in the upper mantle and possibly alsoby variations in the composition of the peridotite itself. Itis suggested that komatiite in Precambrian terrane could formby direct melting of hydrous peridotite. Such melting requiresabout 1250?C compared with 1600?C which is required for drymelting. The genesis of kimberlite can be related to partial meltingof peridotite under conditions of XH2Ov = 0.5–0.25 (XCO2v= 0.5–0.75). Such activities of H2O result in meltingat depths ranging between 125 and 175 km in the mantle. Thisrange is within the minimum depth generally accepted for theformation of kimberlite.  相似文献

Volatile Components, Magmas, and Critical Fluids in Upwelling Mantle   总被引：9，自引：2，他引：7  
The phase diagram for lherzolite–CO2–H2O providesa framework for interpreting the distribution of phase assemblagesin the upper mantle with various thermal structures, in differenttectonic settings. Experiments show that at depths >80 km,the near-solidus partial melts from lherzolite–CO2–H2Oare dolomitic, changing through carbonate–silicate liquidswith rising temperatures to mafic liquids; vapor, if it coexists,is aqueous. Experimental data from simple systems suggest thata critical end-point (K) occurs on the mantle solidus at anundetermined depth. Isobaric (T–X) phase diagrams forvolatile-bearing systems with K elucidate the contrasting phaserelationships for lherzolite–CO2–H2O at depths belowand above a critical end-point, arbitrarily placed at 250 km.At levels deeper than K, lherzolite can exist with dolomiticmelt, aqueous vapor, or with critical fluids varying continuouslybetween these end-members. Analyses of fluids in microinclusionsof fibrous diamonds reveal this same range of compositions,supporting the occurrence of a critical end-point. Other evidencefrom diamonds indicates that the minimum depth for this end-pointis 125 km; maximum depth is not constrained. Constructed cross-sectionsshowing diagrammatically the phase fields intersected by upwellingmantle indicate how rising trace melts may influence trace elementconcentrations within a mantle plume.

Modal mantle metasomatism, involving the re-enrichment of depletedmantle by the introduction or production of new hydrous phases,apatite and other minerals, has been proposed as a criticalprecursor to alkaline volcanism. The merits of the modal metasomatismmodel are evaluated by examining whole-rock 100 Mg/(Mg+Fe2+)ratios and the abundances of TiO2, K2O and P2O5 in mafic volcanicsspanning the mafic alkaline-subalkaline compositional spectrum.Upper mantle amphiboles and micas are also discussed becausethey would be major donors of Ti, Fe, and K to melts duringanatexis of either modally metasomatized depleted mantle orundepleted mantle. Compared with tholeiitic and calc-alkaline basalts and andesites,basanites and alkali basalts and alkali andesites are neitherdistinctive nor unique by virtue of persistant or well-definedhigher abundances of TiO2, K2O, and P2O5 or lower 100 Mg/(Mg+Fe2+)ratios, features which might reflect precursor modal metasomatismof the alkaline sources. Some basanites and alkali basalts dohave higher abundances of TiO2, K2O, and P2O5 than some tholeiitesbut these abundances may be the result of lower degrees of meltingof similar undepleted mantle sources for both magma types. The most widespread mantle phases of inferred metasomatic originare interstitial amphiboles and micas in Group I spinel peridotitexenoliths. These have high 100 Mg/(Mg+Fe) ratios ({small tilde}90) and high Cr2O3 and low TiO2 abundances, and the K2O/Na2Oratios of the amphiboles (chromian pargasites) are low, generallyless than 0?3. Interstitial amphiboles and micas developed asa result of near-isochemical hydration reactions which largelyinvolved Cr-spinel and Cr-diopside. Their formation was probablyinduced in many instances by fluids derived from crystallizingmafic magmas. Metasomatized Group I xenoliths with interstitialhydrous phases remain depleted in TiO2, K2O, and P2O5, and theyretain the high 100 Mg/(Mg+Fe) ratios characterizing depletedGroup I xenoliths. Together with the low K2O/Na2O ratios, thesefeatures preclude such peridotites as suitable sources of mostalkaline (and subalkaline) volcanics. It is suggested that modalmetasomatism plays an insignificant role in the genesis of mostmantle-derived mafic volcanics. Compared with the interstitial phases, kaersutitic amphibolesand titaniferous micas from vein, Group II inclusion and megacrystupper mantle parageneses have lower 100 Mg/(Mg+Fe) ratios andCr2O3 contents, and much higher TiO2 abundances. K2O/Na2O ratiosof the Ti-amphiboles are also much more wide-ranging (0?3 togreater than 1?0). These Fe, Ti-rich amphiboles and micas areneither widespread nor pervasive phases in metasomatized mantle.They are directly related to alkaline magmatism in the uppermantle where they may be associated with incompatible elementenrichment of peridotite wallrocks in the immediate vicinityof frozen conduits of alkaline mafic magmas. The varying K2O/Na2O ratios of mafic volcanics (MORB constitutea major exception) indicate that the principal K-bearing phasesin undepleted mantle are kaersutitic amphibole and titaniferousmica, in varying proportions. The former is probably the majorsource of Ti and K for low K/Na volcanics (K2O/Na2O < 0?5)and also many medium K/Na types (0?5 < K2O/Na2O < 1?0),whereas mica is more likely to be the major K-bearing phasein the source regions of high K/Na extrusives (K2O/Na2 >1?0). Experimental data indicate that kaersutitic amphibole,mica and apatite probably coexist in undepleted spinel- andgarnet lherzolites at pressures up to 25 kb, with mica persistingto pressures as high as 50 kb. It is proposed that undepleted asthenospheric mantle is heterogeneouswith respect to its amphibole, mica, and apatite contents (andhence TiO2, K2O, and P2O5 abundances and K2O/Na2O ratios), andalso with respect to 100 Mg/(Mg+Fe2+ ) ratios which may be significantlyless than the ratios generally assigned to undepleted mantle,namely 88–90.  相似文献

Four natural peridotite nodules ranging from chemically depletedto Fe-rich, alkaline and calcic (SiO2=43?7–45?7 wt. percent, Al2O3=1?6O–8?21 wt. per cent, CaO=0?70–8?12wt. per cent,alk=0?10–0?90 wt. per cent and Mg/(Mg+Fe2+)=0?94–0?85)have been investigated in the hypersolidus region from 800?to 1250?C with variable activities of H2O, CO2, and H2. Thevapor-saturated peridotite solidi are 50–200?C below thosepreviously published. The temperature of the beginning of meltingof peridotite decreases markedly with decreasing Mg/(Mg+Fe)of the starting material at constant CaO/Al2O3. Conversely,lowering CaO/Al2O3 reduces the temperature at constant Mg/(Mg+Fe)of the starting material. Temperature differences between thesolidi up to 200?C are observed. All solidi display a temperatureminimum reflecting the appearance of garnet. This minimum shiftsto lower pressure with decreasing Mg/(Mg+Fe) of the startingmaterial. The temperature of the beginning of melting decreasesisobarically as approximately a linear function of the mol fractionof H2O in the vapor (XH2O). The data also show that some CO2may dissolve in silicate melts formed by partial melting ofperidotite. Amphibole (pargasitic hornblende) is a hypersolidus mineralin all compositions, although its P/T stability field dependson bulk rock chemistry. The upper pressure stability of amphiboleis marked by the appearance of garnet. The vapor-saturated (H2O) liquidus curve for one peridotiteis between 1250? and 1300?C between 10 and 30 kb. Olivine, spinel,and orthopyroxene are either liquidus phases or coexist immediatelybelow the temperature of the peridotite liquidus.

The variable depth to the low-velocity zone is explained byvariable aH2O conditions in the upper mantle and possibly alsoby variations in the composition of the peridotite itself. It is suggested that komatiite in Precambrian terrane couldform by direct melting of hydrous peridotite. Such melting requiresabout 1250?C compared with 1600?C which is required for drymelting. The genesis of kimberlite can be related to partial meltingof peridotite under conditions of (). Such activities of H2Oresult in melting at depths ranging between 125 and 175 km inthe mantle. This range is within the minimum depth generallyaccepted for the formation of kimberlite.  相似文献

Dehydration melting experiments of alkali basalt associatedwith the Kenya Rift were performed at 0·7 and 1·0GPa, 850–1100°C, 3–5 wt % H2O, and fO2 nearnickel–nickel oxide. Carbon dioxide [XCO2 = molar CO2/(H2O+ CO2) = 0·2–0·9] was added to experimentsat 1025 and 1050°C. Dehydration melting in the system alkalibasalt–H2O produces quartz- and corundum-normative trachyandesite(6–7·5 wt % total alkalis) at 1000 and 1025°Cby the incongruent melting of amphibole (pargasite–magnesiohastingsite).Dehydration melting in the system alkali basalt–H2O–CO2produces nepheline-normative tephriphonolite, trachyandesite,and trachyte (10·5–12 wt % total alkalis). In thelatter case, the solidus is raised relative to the hydrous system,less melt is produced, and the incongruent melting reactioninvolves kaersutite. The role of carbon dioxide in alkalinemagma genesis is well documented for mantle systems. This studyshows that carbon dioxide is also important to the petrogenesisof alkaline magmas at the lower pressures of crustal systems.Select suites of continental alkaline rocks, including thosecontaining phonolite, may be derived by low-pressure dehydrationmelting of an alkali basalt–carbon dioxide crustal system.

New H2O, CO2 and S concentration data for basaltic glasses fromLoihi seamount, Hawaii, allow us to model degassing, assimilation,and the distribution of major volatiles within and around theHawaiian plume. Degassing and assimilation have affected CO2and Cl but not H2O concentrations in most Loihi glasses. Waterconcentrations relative to similarly incompatible elements inHawaiian submarine magmas are depleted (Loihi), equivalent (Kilauea,North Arch, Kauai–Oahu), or enriched (South Arch). H2O/Ceratios are uncorrelated with major element composition or extentor depth of melting, but are related to position relative tothe Hawaiian plume and mantle source region composition, consistentwith a zoned plume model. In front of the plume core, overlyingmantle is metasomatized by hydrous partial melts derived fromthe Hawaiian plume. Downstream from the plume core, lavas tapa depleted source region with H2O/Ce similar to enriched Pacificmid-ocean ridge basalt. Within the plume core, mantle components,thought to represent subducted oceanic lithosphere, have waterenrichments equivalent to (KEA) or less than (KOO) that of Ce.Lower H2O/Ce in the KOO component may reflect efficient dehydrationof the subducting oceanic crust and sediments during recyclinginto the deep mantle.

Geochemical data from back-arc volcanic zones in the Manus Basinare used to define five magma types. Closest to the New Britainarc are medium-K lavas of the island arc association and back-arcbasin basalts (BABB). Mid-ocean ridge basalts (MORB), BABB andmildly enriched T-MORB (transitional MORB) occur along the ManusSpreading Center (MSC) and Extensional Transform Zone (ETZ).The MSC also erupted extreme back-arc basin basalts (XBABB),enriched in light rare earth elements, P, and Zr. Compared withnormal MORB, Manus MORB are even more depleted in high fieldstrength elements and slightly enriched in fluid-mobile elements,indicating slight, prior enrichment of their source with subduction-relatedcomponents. Chemical variations and modeling suggest systematic,coupled relationships between extent of mantle melting, priordepletion of the mantle source, and enrichment in subduction-relatedcomponents. Closest to the arc, the greatest addition of subduction-relatedcomponents has occurred in the mantle with the greatest amountof prior depletion, which has melted the most. Variations inK2O/H2O indicate that the subduction-related component is bestdescribed as a phlogopite and/or K-amphibole-bearing hybridizedperidotite. Magmas from the East Manus Rifts are enriched inNa and Zr with radiogenic 87Sr/86Sr, possibly indicating crustalinteraction in a zone of incipient rifting. The source for XBABBand lavas from the Witu Islands requires a mantle componentsimilar to carbonatite melt. KEY WORDS: Manus back-arc basin, mantle metasomatism, magma generation  相似文献

Evidence is presented for a carbonate-immiscibility phenomena in the upper mantle based on data from a set of strongly metasomatized xenoliths in a basanitic lava flow from Fernando de Noronha Island (southwest Atlantic). A petrological and geochemical study of lherzolitic and harzburgitic xenoliths reveals that the oceanic mantle of this region has been affected by very strong carbonate metasomatism. The metasomatism led to wehrlitization of the primary mantle mineral assemblage (ol, opx, sp). The wehrlitization was the result of interaction between a possibly ephemeral sodic dolomitic melt or fluid with the mantle peridotite according to the following reactions, which include sodic components: 4MgSiO3+CaMg(CO3)2=2Mg2SiO4+CaMgSi2O6+2CO2 3CaMg(CO3)2+CaMgSi2O6=4CaCO3+2Mg2SiO4+2CO2 The olivine has abundant micro-inclusions consisting of Na-Al-Si-rich glass, Fe, Ni and Cu-monosulfide, Ca-rich carbonate and dense CO2. The interrelationships between the glass, sulfide and carbonate inclusions permit speculation that silicate, sulfide, and Ca-rich carbonatite melts were in equilibrium with each other and originated from partial melting of metasomatized and wehrlitized peridotite underneath Fernando de Noronha Island. These results support a two-stage model of Ca-rich carbonatite formation: first stage - metasomatic wehrlitization and carbonatization of mantle rocks; second stage - partial melting of the carbonate-bearing wehrlitic rock resulting in the formation of immiscible silicate, sodic carbonate and sulfide liquids and the ultimately generation of calciocarbonatites.  相似文献

Whole-rock major and trace element and O, Sr, Nd and Pb isotopicdata are reported for 3·0–0·89 Ma lamproitesfrom the Leucite Hills, Wyoming, USA. The two main groups oflamproites, madupitic lamproites and phlogopite lamproites,are geochemically distinct and cannot be related to one anotherby either fractional crystallization or crustal contamination.It seems likely that the geochemical differences between thesetwo rock types are related to variations in source mineralogyand depth of partial melting. The high Mg-number and large ionlithophile element abundances and negative Nd values of thelamproites indicate a mantle source that has experienced stagesof both depletion and enrichment. The negative Nb, Ta and Tianomalies in mantle-normalized trace element diagrams and lowtime-integrated U/Pb, Rb/Sr and Sm/Nd ratios of both lamproitegroups and other Cenozoic igneous rocks from the Wyoming ArcheanProvince indicate an ancient metasomatic enrichment (>1·0Ga) of the mantle source associated with the subduction of carbonate-bearingsediments. Other chemical characteristics of the Leucite Hillslamproites, especially their high K2O and volatile contents,are attributed to more recent metasomatism (<100 Ma) involvinginflux from upwelling mantle during back-arc extension or plumeactivity.

Unusually alumina-poor orthopyroxene is found in a spinel peridotitefrom the Horoman Peridotite Complex, Japan. Al2O3, Cr2O3 andCaO contents in the low-Al orthopyroxene (named Low-Al OPX hereafter)are <0·25 wt %, <0·04 wt % and <0·3wt %, respectively, and are distinctively lower than those inorthopyroxene porphyroclasts. The Low-Al OPX occurs in two modes,both at the margin of olivine. The first mode of occurrenceis as the rim of a large orthopyroxene porphyroclast in contactwith olivine. This type of Low-Al OPX occurs only locally (15µm x 45 µm), and the orthopyroxene rim in contactwith olivine more commonly has normal Al2O3 contents (>2wt %). In the second mode of occurrence, the Low-Al OPX occursas a thin film, 5 µm x 50 µm in dimension, at agrain boundary between olivine and clinopyroxene. Trace elementcompositions of porphyroclast clinopyroxene in the sample indicatethat the sample having the Low-Al OPX underwent metasomatismalthough there are no hydrous minerals around the Low-Al OPX.Petrographic observations and trace element compositions ofclinopyroxene combined with an inferred P–T history ofthe Horoman peridotite suggest that the Low-Al OPX was formedthrough a very local reaction between peridotite and invasivefluids, probably formed by dehydration of a subducted slab,in a late stage of the history of the Horoman peridotite. Crystallizationof orthopyroxene, representing addition of silica to mantlelherzolite via a CO2 + H2O-bearing fluid phase, is a mechanismfor metasomatic alteration of mantle wedge peridotite.

Mineral paragenescs in the prehnite-pumpellyite to greenschistfades transition of the Karmutsen metabasites are markedly differentbetween amygdule and matrix, indicating that the size of equilibriumdomain is very small. Characteristic amygdule assemblages (+chlorite + quartz) vary from: (1) prehnite + pumpeUyite + epidote,prehnite + pumpellyite + calcite, and pumpellyite + epidote+ calcite for the prehnite-pumpellyite facies; through (2) calcite+ epidote + prehnite or pumpellyite for the transition zone;to (3) actinolite + epidote + calrite for the greenschist facies.Actinolite first appears in the matrix of the transition zone.Na-rich wairakites containing rare analcime inclusions coexistwith epidote or Al-rich pumpellyite in one prehnite-pumpellyitefacies sample. Phase relations and compositions of these wairakite-bearingassemblages further suggest that pumpellyite may have a compositionalgap between 0.10 and 0.15 XFe?. Although the facies boundaries are gradational due to the multi-varianceof the assemblages, several transition equilibria are establishedin the amygdule assemblages. At low Xco2, pumpellyite disappearsprior to prehnite by a discontinuous-type reaction, pumpellyite+ quartz + CO2 = prehnite + epidote + calcite + chlorite + H2O,whereas prehnite disappears by a continuous-type reaction, prehnite+ CO2 = calcite + epidote + quartz-l-H2O. On the other hand,at higher XCO2 a prehnite-out reaction, prehnite + chlorite+ H2O + CO2 = calcite + pumpellyite + quartz, precedes a pumpellyiteoutreaction, pumpellyite + CO2 = calcite + epidote + chlorite +quartz + H2O. The first appearance of the greenschist faciesassemblages is defined at both low and high XCOj by a reaction,calcite + chlorite + quartz = epidote + actinolite+ H2O + CO2.Thus, these transition equilibria are highly dependent on bothXFe3+ + of Ca-Al silicates and XH20 of the fluid phase. Phaseequilibria together with the compositional data of Ca-Al silicatesindicate that the prehnite-pumpellyite to greenschist faciestransition for the Karmutsen metabasites occurred at approximately1.7 kb and 300?C, and at very low Xco2, probably far less than0.1.  相似文献

Reported in this paper are the chemical compositions and trace element (REE,Ba,Rb,Sr,Nb,Zr,Ni,Cr,V,Ga,Y,Sc,Zn,Cu,etc)abundances of Tertiary continental alkali basalts from the Liube-yizheng area,Jiangsu Province,China.The olivine basalt,alkali olivine basalt and basanite are all derived from evolved melts which were once af-fected by different degrees of fractional crystallization of olivine and clinopyroxene(1:2)under high pres-sures.The initial melts were derived from the garnet lherzolite-type mantle source through low-degree par-tial melting.The mantle source has been affected by recent mantle-enrichment events(e.g.mantle metasomatism),resulting in incompatible trace element enrichment and long-term depletion of radiogenic isotopic compositions of Sr and Nd.  相似文献

The late Archaean Panozero pluton in Central Karelia (BalticShield) is a multi-phase high-Mg, high-K intrusion with sanukitoidaffinities, emplaced at 2·74 Ga. The magmatic historyof the intrusion may be subdivided into three cycles and includesmonzonitic and lamprophyric magmas. Compositional variationsare most extreme in the monzonite series and these are interpretedas the result of fractional crystallization. Estimates of thecomposition of the parental magmas to the monzonites and lamprophyresshow that they are enriched in light rare earth elements, Sr,Ba, Cr, Ni and P but have low contents of high field strengthelements. Radiogenic isotope data indicate a low U/Pb, highTh/U, high Rb/Sr, low Sm/Nd source. The magmatic rocks of thePanozero intrusion are also enriched in H2O and CO2; carbonisotope data are consistent with mantle values, indicating afluid-enriched mantle source. The similarity in trace elementcharacter of all the Panozero parental magmas indicates thatall the magmas were derived from a similar mantle source. Thepattern of trace element enrichment is consistent with a mantlesource enriched by fluids released from a subducting slab. Nd-isotopedata suggest that this enrichment took place at c. 2·8Ga, during the main episode of greenstone belt and tonalite–trondhjemite–granodioriteformation in Central Karelia. Sixty million years later, at2·74 Ga, the subcontinental mantle melted to form thePanozero magmas. Experimental studies suggest that the monzoniticmagmas originated by the melting of pargasite–phlogopitelherzolite in the subcontinental mantle lithosphere at 1–1·5GPa. The precise cause of the melting event at 2·74 Gais not known, although a model involving upwelling of asthenosphericmantle following slab break-off is consistent with the geochemicalevidence for the enrichment of the Karelian subcontinental mantlelithosphere by subduction fluids.
