Picritic units of the Miocene shield volcanics on Gran Canaria, Canary Islands, contain olivine and clinopyroxene phenocrysts
with abundant primary melt, crystal and fluid inclusions. Composition and crystallization conditions of primary magmas in
equilibrium with olivine Fo90-92 were inferred from high-temperature microthermometric quench experiments, low-temperature microthermometry of fluid inclusions
and simulation of the reverse path of olivine fractional crystallization based on major element composition of melt inclusions.
Primary magmas parental for the Miocene shield basalts range from transitional to alkaline picrites (14.7–19.3 wt% MgO, 43.2–45.7
wt% SiO2). Crystallization of these primary magmas is believed to have occurred over the temperature range 1490–1150° C at pressures
≈5 kbar producing olivine of Fo80.6-90.2, high-Ti chrome spinel [Mg/ (Mg+Fe2+)=0.32–0.56, Cr/(Cr+Al)=0.50–0.78, 2.52–8.58 wt% TiO2], and clinopyroxene [Mg/(Mg+Fe)=0.79–0.88, Wo44.1-45.3, En43.9-48.0, Fs6.8-11.0] which appeared on the liquidus together with olivine≈Fo86. Redox conditions evolved from intermediate between the QFM and WM buffers to late-stage conditions of NNO+1 to NNO+2. The
primary magmas crystallized in the presence of an essentially pure CO2 fluid. The primary magmas originated at pressures >30 kbar and temperatures of 1500–1600° C, assuming equilibrium with mantle
peridotite. This implies melting of the mantle source at a depth of ≈100 km within the garnet stability field followed by
migration of melts into magma reservoirs located at the boundary between the upper mantle and lower crust. The temperatures
and pressures of primary magma generation suggest that the Canarian plume originated in the lower mantle at depth ≈900 km
that supports the plume concept of origin of the Canary Islands.

Peridotite xenoliths found in Cenozoic alkali basalts of northern Victoria Land, Antarctica, vary from fertile spinel-lherzolite
to harzburgite. They often contain glass-bearing pockets formed after primary pyroxenes and spinel. Few samples are composite
and consist of depleted spinel lherzolite crosscut by amphibole veins and/or lherzolite in contact with poikilitic wehrlite.
Peridotite xenoliths are characterized by negative Al2O3–Mg# and TiO2–Mg# covariations of clino- and orthopyroxenes, low to intermediate HREE concentrations in clinopyroxene, negative Cr–Al trend
in spinel, suggesting variable degrees of partial melting. Metasomatic overprint is evidenced by trace element enrichment
in clinopyroxene and sporadic increase of Ti–Fetot. Preferential Nb, Zr, Sr enrichments in clinopyroxene associated with high Ti–Fetot contents constrain the metasomatic agent to be an alkaline basic melt. In composite xenoliths, clinopyroxene REE contents
increase next to the veins suggesting metasomatic diffusion of incompatible element. Oxygen isotope data indicate disequilibrium
conditions among clinopyroxene, olivine and orthopyroxene. The highest δ18O values are observed in minerals of the amphibole-bearing xenolith. The δ18Ocpx correlations with clinopyroxene modal abundance and geochemical parameters (e.g. Mg# and Cr#) suggest a possible influence
of partial melting on oxygen isotope composition. Thermobarometric estimates define a geotherm of 80°C/GPa for the refractory
lithosphere of NVL, in a pressure range between 1 and 2.5 GPa. Clinopyroxene microlites of melt pockets provide P–T data close
to the anhydrous peridotite solidus and confirm that they originated from heating and decompression during transport in the
host magma. All these geothermometric data constrain the mantle potential temperature to values of 1250–1350°C, consistent
with the occurrence of mantle decompressional melting in a transtensive tectonic regime for the Ross Sea region. 相似文献

Jurassic basanite necks occurring at the junction of two major fault zones in Scania contain ultramafic (peridotites, pyroxenites)
and mafic xenoliths, which together indicate a diversity of upper mantle and lower crustal assemblages beneath this region.
The peridotites can be subdivided into lherzolites, dunites and harzburgites. Most lherzolites are porphyroclastic, containing
orthopyroxene and olivine porphyroclasts. They consist of Mg-rich silicates (Mg# = Mg/(Mg + Fetot) × 100; 88–94) and vermicular spinel. Calculated equilibration temperatures are lower in porphyroclastic lherzolites (975–1,007°C)
than in equigranular lherzolite (1,079°C), indicating an origin from different parts of the upper mantle. According to the
spinel composition the lherzolites represent residues of 8–13% fractional melting. They are similar in texture, mineralogy
and major element composition to mantle xenoliths from Cenozoic Central European volcanic fields. Dunitic and harzburgitic
peridotites are equigranular and only slightly deformed. Silicate minerals have lower to similar Mg# (83–92) as lherzolites
and lack primary spinel. Resorbed patches in dunite and harzburgite xenoliths might be the remnants of metasomatic processes
that changed the upper mantle composition. Pyroxenites are coarse, undeformed and have silicate minerals with partly lower
Mg# than peridotites (70–91). Pyroxenitic oxides are pleonaste spinels. According to two-pyroxene thermometry pyroxenites
show a large range of equilibration temperatures (919–1,280°C). In contrast, mafic xenoliths, which are mostly layered gabbronorites
with pyroxene- and plagioclase-rich layers, have a narrow range of equilibration temperatures (828–890°C). These temperature
ranges, together with geochemical evidence, indicate that pyroxenites and gabbroic xenoliths represent mafic intrusions within
the Fennoscandian crust. 相似文献

Garnet-bearing mantle xenoliths have been recovered from Quaternary alkali basalts, both within and peripheral to the Hangay
dome of central Mongolia. Microfabric analysis and thermobaromery, combining empirical thermobarometers and the self-consistent
dataset of THERMOCALC, indicate that garnet websterites from the Shavaryn-Tsaram volcanic centre at the dome core were formed
in the spinel-lherzolite upper mantle at pressures of 17–18 kbars and temperatures of 1,070–1,090°C, whereas garnet lherzolites
were derived from greater depths (18–20 kbars). Garnet lherzolites from the Baga Togo Uul vents near the dome edge were formed
at 18–22 kbars under significantly cooler conditions (960–1,000°C). These xenoliths reveal reaction coronas of (1) orthopyroxene,
clinopyroxene, plagioclase and spinel mantling garnets; (2) spongy rims of olivine replacing orthopyroxene and (3) low-Na,
low-Al clinopyroxene replacing primary clinopyroxene. Trace-element abundances indicate that clinopyroxene from these coronas
is in chemical equilibrium with the host magma. The thermobarometric and textural data suggest that lherzolite xenoliths from
both sites were derived from depths of 60–70 km and entrained in magma at 1,200–1,300°C. The average rate of ascent, as determined
by olivine zoning, lies in the range 0.2–0.3 m s−1. The contrast in thermal profiles of the upper mantle between the two sites is consistent with a mantle plume beneath the
Hangay dome with elevated thermal conditions beneath the core of the dome being comparable to estimates of the Pleistocene
geotherm beneath the Baikal rift. 相似文献

Feldspar-bearing lherzolite xenoliths in alkali basalts from Hamar-Daban,southern Baikal region,Russia 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4

Lherzolite xenoliths in Miocene to Pleistocene basalts from five sites in the Hamar-Daban range in southern Siberia provide
sampling of the mantle close to the axis of the Baikal rift. These anhydrous spinel lherzolites commonly have foliated fabrics
and spongy rims around clinopyroxene, and many contain accessory feldspar. The feldspar occurs in reaction zones adjacent
to spinel and orthopyroxene (where it appears to have been formed by the reaction: spl+opx+cpx+fluid →fs+ol) and less commonly
as thin, irregular veins. The feldspars have variable compositions but are generally alkali-rich; their K2O content ranges from 0.3 to 11.2% and is much higher than in plagioclase from orogenic lherzolites (usually <0.1% K2O). The temperature range for the Hamar-Daban xenolith suite (950–1010° C) is more restricted than for spinel peridotite xenoliths
from other occurrences in the Baikal area. The feldspar-bearing lherzolites yield equilibration temperatures similar to or
slightly lower than feldspar-free ones. The majority of the Hamar-Daban lherzolites are fertile and clinopyroxene-rich, as
for most other occurrences in the Baikal region. Trace element compositions of selected xenoliths and their clinopyroxenes
were determined by ICP-MS, INAA and proton microprobe. Feldspar-bearing xenoliths are enriched in alkalies indicating that
feldspar formation is associated with addition of material and is not simply due to isochemical phase changes. Most xenoliths
and their clinopyroxenes studied are depleted in light REE and have contents of Sr, Zr and Y common for fertile or moderately
depleted mantle peridotites. Few are moderately enriched in LREE, Sr, Th and U. Sr-Nd isotope compositions of clinopyroxenes
indicate long-term depletion in incompatible elements similar to unmetasomatised xenoliths from other occurrences south and
east of Lake Baikal. The formation of feldspar and of spongy aggregates after clinopyroxene, and the enrichment in alkalies
appear to be recent phenomena related to infiltration of an alkali-rich, H2O-poor fluid into spinel peridotites.

Mantle xenoliths in within-plate Cenozoic alkaline mafic lavas from NE Spain are used to assess the local subcontinental lithospheric
mantle geotherm and the influence of melting and metasomatism on its oxidation state. The xenoliths are mainly anhydrous spinel
lherzolites and harzburgites and gradations between, with minor pyroxenites. Most types show protogranular textures, but transitional
protogranular–porphyroclastic and equigranular lherzolites also exist. Different thermometers used in the estimates provide
higher subsolidus equilibrium temperatures for harzburgites (1,062 ± 29°C) than for lherzolites (972 ± 89°C), although there
is overlap; the lowest temperatures correspond to porphyroclastic lherzolites, whereas pyroxenites give the highest temperatures
(up to 1,257°C). Maximum pressures for subsolidus equilibrium of peridotites are at 2.0–1.8 GPa. Later they followed adiabatic
decompression and harzburgites registered lower pressures (1.02 ± 0.19 GPa) than lherzolites (1.41 ± 0.27 GPa). One pyroxenite
gives values consistent with the spinel lherzolite field (1.08 GPa). The shallowest barometric data are in agreement with
the highest local conductive geotherms, which implies that the lithosphere–asthenosphere boundary is at 70–60 km minimum depth.
Higher equilibrium temperatures for the harzburgites could be explained by the existence of mafic magma bodies or dykes at
the lower crust–mantle boundary. Paleo-fO2 conditions during partial melting as inferred from the covariation between V and MgO concentrations are mainly between QFM−1
and QFM−2 in log units. However, most thermobarometric fO2 estimates are between QFM−1 and QFM+1, suggesting oxidation caused by later metasomatism during uplift and cooling. 相似文献

Permo-Triassic alkaline dykes in the Sunnhordland region contain angular inclusions of spinellherzolite composed of olivine (Fo89.5), high-alumina pyroxenes, and Al2O3-rich spinel. Mineral chemistry suggests that the lherzolites represent mantle material which equilibrated at temperatures in the ranges 1050 to 1150°C, compatible with an oceanic geotherm. Megacrysts of augite and spinel are associated with the xenoliths, and have compositions which differ from analogous phases occurring both as phenocrysts and as xenolith constituents. Systematic chemical variations in the clinopyroxene megacrysts may reflect magmatic fractionation processes. Megacrysts may represent disaggregated parts of coarsely crystalline polymineralic assemblages precipitated at high pressures, and temperatures above that indicated by the xenoliths, with subsequent exsolution at temperatures of about 1060°C. 相似文献

Approximately 200 upper mantle xenoliths from Summit Lake, near Prince George, British Columbia, were collected from a basanitoid flow of Late Cenozoic (possibly post-glacial) age. The most abundant xenolith is spinel lherzolite (55%), with subordinate wehrlite (22%), clinopyroxenite (10%), olivine websterite (10%), websterite (2%) and dunite (1%). Xenoliths have granular textures and both green chrome diopside-bearing and black aluminous augitebearing xenoliths are present. About 5% of the xenoliths are banded on a cm scale, suggesting that the upper mantle beneath north-central British Columbia is heterogeneous on a scale of cm to meters.Microprobe data on the mineral phases indicate that the xenoliths are generally well equilibrated. Typically in spinel lherzolite, olivines are Fo89, orthopyroxenes are En90 and chrome diopside is Wo45En50Fs5. Spinels vary in composition from xenolith to xenolith. The evidence for partial melting observed in five xenoliths, may be due to heating during incorporation of the xenoliths within the host magma or to instability caused by decompression as the xenoliths are transported to the surface.Using element partition geothermometers, equilibration temperatures are calculated to be between 1080–1100° C. Pressures, estimated from a Cordilleran geotherm, are between 18–20 kbar. These temperatures are somewhat higher than estimates from xenoliths from other localities in Late Cenozoic alkali basalts in south and central British Columbia. It is concluded, therefore, that either the Summit Lake suite represents samples from a deeper source region in the upper mantle or the Late Cenozoic geotherm varied in time and space.On leave from the Geological Institute, University of Tokyo 相似文献

Mantle derived xenoliths in India are known to occur in the Proterozoic ultrapotassic rocks like kimberlites from Dharwar
and Bastar craton and Mesozoic alkali igneous rocks like lamrophyres, nephelinites and basanites. The xenoliths in kimberlites
are represented by garnet harzburgites, lherzolites, wehrlite, olivine clinopyroxenites and kyaniteeclogite varieties. The
PT conditions estimated for xenoliths from the Dharwar craton suggest that the lithosphere was at least 185 km thick during
the Mid-Proterozoic period. The ultrabasic and eclogite xenoliths have been derived from depths of 100–180 km and 75–150 km
respectively. The Kalyandurg and Brahmanpalle clusters have sampled the typical Archaean subcontinental lithospheric mantle
(SCLM) with a low geotherm (35 mW/m2) and harzburgitic to lherzolitic rocks with median Xmg
olivine > 0.93. The base of the depleted lithosphere at 185–195 km depth is marked by a 10–15 km layer of strongly metasomatised
peridotites (Xmg
olivine > ∼0.88). The Anampalle and Wajrakarur clusters 60 km to the NW show a distinctly different SCLM; it has a higher geotherm
(37.5 to 40 mW/m2) and contains few subcalcic harzburgites, and has a median Xmg
olivine = 0.925. In contrast, the kimberlites of the Uravakonda and WK-7 clusters sampled quite fertile (median Xmg
olivine ∼0.915) SCLM with an elevated geotherm (> 40 mW/m2).
The lamrophyres, basanites and melanephelinites associated with the Deccan Volcanic Province entrain both ultramafic and mafic
xenoliths. The ultramafic group is represented by (i) spinel lherzolites, harzburgites, and (ii) pyroxenites. Single pyroxene
granulite and two pyroxene granulites constitutes the mafic group. Temperature estimates for the West Coast xenoliths indicate
equilibration temperatures of 500–900°C while the pressure estimates vary between 6–11 kbar corresponding to depths of 20–35
km. This elevated geotherm implies that the region is characterized by abnormally high heat flow, which is also supported
by the presence of linear array of hot springs along the West Coast. Spinel peridotite xenoliths entrained in the basanites
and melanephelinites from the Kutch show low equilibrium temperatures (884–972°C). The estimated pressures obtained on the
basis of the absence of both plagioclase and garnet in the xenoliths and by referring the temperatures to the West Coast geotherm
is ∼ 15 kbar (40–45 km depth). The minimum heat flow of 60 to 70 mW/m2 has been computed for the Kutch xenolith (Bhujia hill), which is closely comparable to the oceanic geotherm. Xenolith studies
from the West Coast and Kutch indicate that the SCLM beneath is strongly metasomatised although the style of metasomatism
is different from that below the Dharwar Craton. 相似文献

Garnet and spinel in fertile and depleted mantle: insights from thermodynamic modelling 总被引:2,自引:1,他引:1
Luca Ziberna Stephan Klemme Paolo Nimis 《Contributions to Mineralogy and Petrology》2013,166(2):411-421
We performed thermodynamic calculations based on model and natural peridotitic compositions at pressure and temperature conditions relevant to the Earth’s upper mantle, using well-established free energy minimization techniques. The model is consistent with the available experimental data in Cr-bearing peridotitic systems and can therefore be used to predict phase relations and mineral compositions in a wide range of realistic mantle compositions. The generated phase diagrams for six different bulk compositions, representative of fertile, depleted and ultra-depleted peridotitic mantle, shown that the garnet + spinel stability field is always broad at low temperatures and progressively narrows with increasing temperatures. In lithospheric sections with hot geotherms (ca. 60 mW/m2), garnet coexists with spinel across an interval of 10–15 km, at ca. 50–70 km depths. In colder, cratonic, lithospheric sections (e.g. along a 40 mW/m2 geotherm), the width of the garnet–spinel transition strongly depends on bulk composition: In fertile mantle, spinel can coexist with garnet to about 120 km depth, while in an ultra-depleted harzburgitic mantle, it can be stable to over 180 km depth. The formation of chromian spinel inclusions in diamonds is restricted to pressures between 4.0 and 6.0 GPa. The modes of spinel decrease rapidly to less than 1 vol % when it coexists with garnet; hence, spinel grains can be easily overlooked during the petrographical characterization of small mantle xenoliths. The very Cr-rich nature of many spinels from xenoliths and diamonds from cratonic settings may be simply a consequence of their low modes in high-pressure assemblages; thus, their composition does not necessarily imply an extremely refractory composition of the source rock. The model also shows that large Ca and Cr variations in lherzolitic garnets in equilibrium with spinel can be explained by variations of pressure and temperature along a continental geotherm and do not necessarily imply variations of bulk composition. The slope of the Cr# [i.e. Cr/(Cr + Al)mol] isopleths in garnet in equilibrium with spinel changes significantly at high temperatures, posing serious limitations to the applicability of empirical geobarometric methods calibrated on cratonic mantle xenoliths in hotter, off-craton, lithospheric mantle sections. 相似文献

Clinopyroxene-rich, poorly metasomatised spinel lherzolites are rare worldwide but predominate among xenoliths in five Quaternary
basaltic eruption centres in Tariat, central Mongolia. High-precision analyses of the most fertile Tariat lherzolites are
used to evaluate estimates of primitive mantle compositions; they indicate Mg#PM = 0.890 while lower Mg# in the mantle are likely related to metasomatic enrichments in iron. Within a 10 × 20 km area, and
between ~45 and ≥60 km depth, the sampled xenoliths suggest that the Tariat mantle does not show km-scale chemical heterogeneities
and mainly consists of residues after low-degree melt extraction at 1–3 GPa. However, accessory (<1%) amphibole and phlogopite
are unevenly distributed beneath the eruption centres. Ca abundances in olivine are controlled by temperature whereas Al and
Cr abundances also depend on Cr/Al in coexisting spinel. Comparisons of conventional and high-precision analyses obtained
for 30 xenoliths show that high-quality data, in particular for whole-rocks and olivines, are essential to constrain the origin
of mantle peridotites.

Mantle xenoliths in alkali basalt at three locations in South Korea—Boun, the Gansung area, and Baegryung Island—are spinel lherzolites composed of olivine, orthopyroxene, clinopyroxene, and spinel. The xenoliths generally display triple junctions between grains, kink-banding in olivine and pyroxenes, and protogranular and equigranular textures, with no preferred crystal orientation. Anhedral brown spinels occur interstitially. Minerals in lherzolites from each of the three localities are compositionally homogeneous. Olivine compositions have Fo89.0 to Fo90.2, low CaO (.03 to 0.12 wt%), and NiO of 0.34 to 0.40 wt%; the orthopyroxene is enstatite with En89.0 to En90.0 Al2O3 of 4 to 5 wt%; the clinopyroxene is diopside with En47.2 to En49.1 and Al2O3 of 7.42 to 7.64 wt% from Boun and 4.70 to 4.91 wt% from Baegryung. Spinel chemistry shows a distinct negative trend, with increasing Al corresponding with decreasing Cr, and Mg# and Cr# of 75.1 to 81.9 and 8.5 to 12.6, respectively. Temperatures and pressures of equilibration for these mantle xenoliths were estimated using various pyroxene geothermometers (Wood and Banno, 1973; Wells, 1977; Mercier, 1980; Sachtleben and Seck, 1981; Bertrand and Mercier, 1985; Brey and Köhler, 1990) and the Al-solubility geobarometer (Mercier, 1980; Lane and Ganguly, 1980). Temperature estimates from the recipes of Mercier (1980) and Sachtleben and Seck (1981) are compatible. The equilibrium temperatures of these xenoliths, taken as the average obtained from these two methods, lie between 970 and 1020° C, and equilibrium pressures derived from Mercier (1980) fall within the range of 12 to 19 kbar (i.e., 42 to 63 km). These temperatures and pressures are reinforced by considerations of the Al-isopleths in the MAS system (Lane and Ganguly, 1980), as adjusted for the Fe effect on Al solubility in orthopyroxene (Lee and Ganguly, 1988). The equilibrium temperatures and pressures of xenoliths, as considered in P/T space, belong to the oceanic geotherm, based upon the various mantle geotherms presented by Mercier (1980). This geotherm is completely different from continental geotherms, e.g., from South Africa (Lesotho) and southern India. Mineral compositions of spinel-lherzolites in South Korea and eastern China are primitive; paleogeotherms of both are quite similar, but degrees of depletion of the upper mantle could vary locally. This is demonstrated by eastern China, which has various depleted xenoliths caused by different degrees of partial melting. 相似文献

Two types of melt pockets occur in Hawaiian mantle xenoliths: amphibole-bearing (AMP) and spinel-bearing (SMP). AMPs contain
amphibole (kaersutite), olivine (Fo92), clinopyroxene (with 7–11% Al2O3), vesicles and glass. SMPs contain olivine, clinopyroxene, spinel, glass, and vesicles. The glasses in SMPs (SiO2=44–45%, 11–12% alkalis, La=90–110 ppm) and AMPs (SiO2=49–54%, 6–8.5% alkalis, La=8–14 ppm) are distinct in color and composition. Both glasses are generally characterized by LREE-enriched
(chondrite-normalized) patterns. Amphibole and clinopyroxene have gently convex upward-to-moderately LREE-enriched patterns.
Mineral/glass trace element abundance ratio plots show a strong negative Ti anomaly and a gentle negative Zr anomaly for clinopyroxene/glass;
whereas amphibole/glass patterns show a distinctive positive Ti spike. The amphibole/glass trace element ratios are similar
to published megacryst/lava values. An earlier study showed that the Hawaiian spinel lherzolites (lithosphere) have largely
been metasomatized during post-erosional Honolulu magmatic activity. REE abundances of SMP glasses (melts) overlap the REE
abundances calculated for such metasomes. The occurrence of hydrous, alkaline, mafic melt pockets in Hawaiian upper mantle
xenoliths implies that (1) such hydrous liquids are generated in the upper mantle, and (2) water plays a role in magmatic
activity associated with the Hawaiian plume. Although we are uncertain about the source (plume, lithosphere, or asthenosphere)
of this water, we speculate that such melts and other alkalic lavas erupted on Oahu and on the sea-floor over the Hawaiian
arch were generated from a broad „wet“ rim of a radially layered Hawaiian plume, whose hot and „dry“ core supplied the shield-forming
magmas.

Orthopyroxene porphyroblasts zoned to interiors abnormally low in Al and Cr and containing numerous inclusions of olivine
occur in some spinel peridotite xenoliths from the Colorado Plateau. Rims of these orthopyroxene grains contain 2.5–3.0 wt%
Al2O3, consistent with equilibration in spinel peridotite at temperatures near 850 °C, but interiors contain as little as 0.20
wt% Al2O3 and 0.04 wt% Cr2O3. The Al-poor compositions are inferred to have equilibrated in chlorite peridotite, before porphyroblast growth during heating
and consequent reactions that eliminated talc, tremolite, and chlorite. The distinctive orthopyroxene textures are inferred
to have formed during reaction of talc and olivine. Rare intergrowths of orthopyroxene plus diopside are attributed to olivine-tremolite
reaction. Al and Cr have gradients at grain rims that appear little modified by diffusion, but divalent elements are almost
homogeneous throughout the porphyroblasts. Judging from the relative gradients, diffusion of Ca was at least 100 times faster
than that of Al and Cr at the temperatures near and below 850 °C. Diffusion of Al and Cr was most effective along subgrain
boundaries, and along these boundaries it appears to have been at least ten times faster than within the lattice: diffusion
along such boundaries may be a dominant mechanism for re-equilibration of orthopyroxene at low mantle temperatures. Orthopyroxene
with similar low Al and Cr occurs in chlorite peridotite xenoliths from the Navajo field, 300 km east of the Grand Canyon
localities, and in spinel peridotite xenoliths from the Sierra Nevada, 500 km west across the extended Basin and Range province.
Chlorite peridotite may therefore have been a significant minor component in much of the mantle lithosphere of western North
America, although evidence for it would be erased at the higher temperatures recorded by xenoliths from the Basin and Range.
Chemical changes during hydration may have been important in the evolution of these mantle volumes, and the case for addition
of Sr is particularly strong. Dehydration reactions during heating could have influenced patterns of extension and crustal
magmatism.

Ultra-depleted, shallow cratonic mantle beneath West Greenland: dunitic xenoliths from Ubekendt Ejland 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Stefan Bernstein Karen Hanghøj Peter B. Kelemen C. Kent Brooks 《Contributions to Mineralogy and Petrology》2006,152(3):335-347
Dunitic xenoliths from late Palaeogene, alkaline basalt flows on Ubekendt Ejland, West Greenland contain olivine with 100 × Mg/(Mg + Fe), or Mg#, between 92.0 and 93.7. Orthopyroxene has very low Al2O3 and CaO contents (0.024–1.639 and 0.062–0.275 wt%, respectively). Spinel has 100 × Cr/(Cr + Al), or Cr#, between 46.98 and 95.67. Clinopyroxene is absent. The osmium isotopic composition of olivine and spinel mineral separates shows a considerable span of 187Os/188Os values. The most unradiogenic 187Os/188Os value of 0.1046 corresponds to a Re-depletion age of ca. 3.3 Gy, while the most radiogenic value of 0.1336 is higher than present-day chondrite. The Os isotopic composition of the xenoliths is consistent with their origin as restites from a melt extraction event in the Archaean, followed by one or more subsequent metasomatic event(s). The high Cr# in spinel and low modal pyroxene of the Ubekendt Ejland xenoliths are similar to values of some highly depleted mantle peridotites from arc settings. However, highly depleted, arc-related peridotites have higher Cr# in spinel for a given proportion of modal olivine, compared to cratonic xenolith suites from Greenland, which instead form coherent trends with abyssal peridotites, dredged from modern mid-ocean ridges.

We report on high-pressure and high-temperature experiments involving carbonates and silicates at 30–80 GPa and 1,600–3,200 K,
corresponding to depths within the Earth of approximately 800–2,200 km. The experiments are intended to represent the decomposition
process of carbonates contained within oceanic plates subducted into the lower mantle. In basaltic composition, CaCO3 (calcite and aragonite), the major carbonate phase in marine sediments, is altered into MgCO3 (magnesite) via reactions with Mg-bearing silicates under conditions that are 200–300°C colder than the mantle geotherm.
With increasing temperature and pressure, the magnesite decomposes into an assemblage of CO2 + perovskite via reactions with SiO2. Magnesite is not the only host phase for subducted carbon—solid CO2 also carries carbon in the lower mantle. Furthermore, CO2 itself breaks down to diamond and oxygen under geotherm conditions over 70 GPa, which might imply a possible mechanism for
diamond formation in the lower mantle. 相似文献

An alkali basalt near Glen Innes, northeastern New South Wales, contains a suite of Cr-diopside group ultramafic xenoliths
which includes some spinel peridotites but which is dominated by a diverse spinel pyroxenite assemblage. Pyroxenite xenoliths
range from subcalcic clinopyroxenites (composed largely of unmixed prismatic subcalcic clinopyroxene megacrystals and lesser
orthopyroxene megacrystals) to equant mosaic textured websterites (orthopyroxene and Ca-rich clinopyroxene ± spinel). Rare
orthopyroxenite xenoliths also occur. The pyroxenite xenoliths are characterised by high 100Mg/(Mg + Fe2+) ratios (M˜ 90) and low concentrations of Ti, K, P, La, Ce and Zr. The websterites are mineralogically and chemically similar to many
spinel pyroxenites occurring as layers or dykes in peridotite massifs such as those at Ronda in southern Spain and at Ariège
(French Pyrénées). T / P estimates indicate crystallization temperatures of 1250–1350 °C for subcalcic clinopyroxene-orthopyroxene megacrystal pairs
and 900–1000 °C for the equilibrated mosaic textured websterites and associated peridotites at pressures of 9–13 kbar. Subcalcic
clinopyroxene megacrystals, websterites and orthopyroxenites have LREE-depleted chondrite-normalised REE abundances with (La/Yb)CN < 1 and their convex-upwards REE patterns are typical of subcalcic clinopyroxene-dominated cumulates. The pyroxenites are
not residua from partially melted pyroxenite layers or dykes in mantle peridotites nor are they completely crystallized protobasaltic
or protopicritic magmas. They are interpreted as high-pressure crystal segregations from basaltic magmas (probably mildly
alkaline or transitional) flowing within narrow mantle conduits (the flow crystallization model of Irving, 1980). The parental
magma(s) was Ti-poor (0.6–0.7% TiO2) and relatively Mg-rich (M˜ 74 − 70). Pyroxenite genesis was a two-stage process involving crystallization of tschermakitic subcalcic clinopyroxenes
and orthopyroxenes ±spinel as liquidus or near-liquidus phases at 1250–1350 °C and 9–13 kbar to yield “primary” subcalcic
clinopyroxenites which then re-equilibrated at 900–1000 °C and similar pressures to produce the mosaic textured “secondary”
websterites. The pyroxenites show a wide range of 143Nd/144Nd and 87Sr/86Sr values (0.513298–0.512473 and 0.702689–0.704659, respectively). Their isotopic ratios appear to have been variably modified
by exchange with adjacent mantle peridotites or migrating basaltic melts.

The solubility of hydroxyl in the α, β and γ phases of (Mg,Fe)2SiO4 was investigated by hydrothermally annealing single crystals of San Carlos olivine. Experiments were performed at a temperature
of 1000° or 1100 °C under a confining pressure of 2.5 to 19.5 GPa in a multianvil apparatus with the oxygen fugacity buffered
by the Ni:NiO solid-state reaction. Hydroxyl solubilities were determined from infrared spectra obtained of polished thin
sections in crack-free regions ≤100 μm in diameter. In the α-stability field, hydroxyl solubility increases systematically
with increasing confining pressure, reaching a value of ∼20,000 H/106Si (1200 wt ppm H2O) at the α-β phase boundary near 13 GPa and 1100 °C. In the β field, the hydroxyl content is ∼400,000 H/106Si (24,000 wt ppm H2O) at 14–15 GPa and 1100 °C. In the γ field, the solubility is ∼450,000 H/106Si (27,000 wt ppm H2O) at 19.5 GPa and 1100 °C. The observed dependence of hydroxyl solubility with increasing confining pressure in the α phase
reflects an increase in water fugacity with increasing pressure moderated by a molar volume term associated with the incorporation
of hydroxyl ions into the olivine structure. Combined with published results on the dependence of hydroxyl solubility on water
fugacity, the present results for the α phase can be summarized by the relation C
OH
= A(T)f nH2Oexp(−PΔV/RT), where A(T) = 1.1 H/106Si/MPa at 1100 °C, n = 1, and ΔV = 10.6×10–6 m3/mol. These data demonstrate that the entire present-day water content of the upper mantle could be incorporated in the mineral
olivine alone; therefore, a free hydrous fluid phase cannot be stable in those regions of the upper mantle with a normal concentration
of hydrogen. Free hydrous fluids are restricted to special tectonic environments, such as the mantle wedge above a subduction
zone.

Mantle xenoliths entrained in Quaternary alkaline basalts from the Turkana Depression in southern Ethiopia (the East Africa
Rift) were studied for their geochemical and Sr–Nd–Pb isotopic compositions to constrain the evolution of the lithosphere.
The investigated mantle xenoliths are spinel lherzolites in composition with a protogranular texture. They can be classified
into two types: anhydrous and hydrous spinel lherzolites; the latter group characterized by the occurrences of pargasite and
phlogopite. The compositions of whole-rock basaltic component (CaO = 3.8–5.6 wt%, Al2O3 = 2.5–4.1 wt%, and MgO = 34.7–38.1 wt%), spinel (Cr# = 0.062–0.117, Al2O3 = 59.0–64.4 wt%) and clinopyroxene (Mg# = 88.4–91.7, Al2O3 = 5.2–6.7 wt%) indicate that the lherzolites are fertile and have not experienced significant partial melting. Both types
are characterized by depleted 87Sr/86Sr (0.70180–0.70295) and high 143Nd/144Nd (0.51299–0.51348) with wide ranges of 206Pb/204Pb (17.86–19.68) isotopic compositions. The variations of geochemical and isotopic compositions can be explained by silicate
metasomatism induced by different degree of magma infiltrations from ascending mantle plume. The thermobarometric estimations
suggest that the spinel lherzolites were derived from depths of 50–70 km (15.6–22.2 kb) and entrained in the alkaline magma
at 847–1,052°C. Most of the spinel lherzolites from this study record an elevated geotherm (60–90 mW/m2) that is related to the presence of rising mantle plume in an active tectonic setting. Sm–Nd isotopic systematic gives a
mean TDM model age of 0.95 Ga, interpreted as the minimum depletion age of the subcontinental lithosphere beneath the region. 相似文献

High pressure phase relation of the system Fe2SiO4–Fe3O4 was investigated by synthesis experiments using multi-anvil high pressure apparatus. A complete solid solution with spinel
structure along Fe2SiO4–Fe3O4 join occurs above 9 GPa at 1200 °C. Lattice constants of the solid solution show almost linear variation with composition.
A spinelloid phase is stable for intermediate compositions in the pressure range from 3 to 9 GPa. the synthesized spinelloid
phase is successfully indexed assuming nickel aluminosilicate V type structure.
