Summary Detailed geological evaluation yields insights into the relative influence of post-volcanic structural and metamorphic processes on Ni tenor (Ni concentration in 100wt% sulphides) variation within the Wannaway N02 ore body, Western Australia. The ore body is characterised by highly variable geometrical configuration and ore zone morphology, and predominance of massive sulphides. Polyphase deformation and metamorphism to mid-amphibolite facies have modified the ore continuity, mineralogy, textures and fabrics. The up-dip and down-dip parts of the ore body are distinct from the central part, with significant structural relocation of massive ores, abundance of pyrrhotite-rich massive ores that lack mineralogical layering, and breccia ores. Massive sulphides plot within the field of Fe–Ni–S monosulphide solid solution (MSS) at 600°C and form separate low, and medium- to high-tenor populations. Nickel tenor in massive ores varies from 6.1% to 18.8% within the ore body. Moreover, massive ore tenor is highly variable (>8wt%) over distances of 20m, and the lowest tenor massive ores occur at the down-dip and up-dip parts of the ore body.Four models are evaluated as possible explanations for the wide Ni tenor variation within the Wannaway N02 ore body (i) R-factor, (ii) oxygen fugacity f(O2), (iii) metamorphic sulphidation, and (iv) structural relocation. The highly variable massive ore tenor over such short distances and the occurrence of lowest tenor massive ores in structurally complex areas all contradict strict application of the R-factor model. The abundance of magnetite within massive ores is relatively consistent throughout the ore body, which undermines the f(O2) model. Lack of correlation of pyrite and Ni tenor is inconsistent with the metamorphic sulphidation model. The bulk of the structural, mineralogical and geochemical evidence indicate a strong role for structural and metamorphic processes, in addition to primary volcanic processes, on Ni tenor variation. Sulphides reverted to Ni-poor MSS and Ni-rich MSS at peak metamorphism. As a result of ductility contrasts, syn- and post-peak metamorphic deformation, Ni-poor MSS was preferentially relocated along faults, producing massive ore tenor variations and destroying primary ore fabric and textures.Present address: Geoinformatics Explorations Ltd, Suite 1280, 625 Howe Street, Vancouver BC, V6C 2T6 Canada  相似文献

Summary Metamorphosed carbonatites and related skarn deposits, located in Fuerteventura Basal Complex, contain unusual Sr-rich minerals. Maximum SrO concentration in the following minerals are: calcite, 7.23wt%; apatite, 5.22wt%; epidote, 11.64wt%; clinozoisite, 1.25wt%; allanite, 5.63wt%; britholite, 4.11wt% and a Sr–Na aluminosilicate (probably stronalsite), 16.44wt% SrO. Calcite and apatite are chemically similar to those found in carbonatites and are therefore considered to be of igneous origin. Textural evidence indicates that the first skarn stage garnet+diopside+Sr–Na aluminosilicate formed as the result of chemical interaction between carbonatites and adjacent silicate rocks. The formation of Sr-bearing epidote/clinozoisite, allanite and britholite appears to be related to the release of Sr into the fluid phase from the breakdown of high temperature assemblages during the retrograde skarn stage. During the final evolution stages, further alteration of britholite by bastnäsite and törnebohmite took place. The occurrence of REE minerals shows that the fluids responsible for this metasomatism must also have transported significant quantities of REE.  相似文献

Summary The Ni–Cu–Platinum Group Element (PGE) sulfide deposits of the Sudbury Structure have provided a major portion of the worlds total nickel production and their host rocks have been the subject of numerous research studies, yet a number of perplexing problems remain to be solved. On the one hand, studies seeking to explain the formation of the Sudbury Structure have now converged on a genetic model which proposes that the Main Mass and Offset Dykes of the Sudbury Igneous Complex (SIC) were produced by crystallization of an impact-generated melt sheet. On the other hand, these models have yet to be fully reconciled with the production of the very large volume of magmatic Ni, Cu, Co, and PGE-rich sulfide mineralization and the associated mafic rock types. This paper explores this problem using new precious metal data from the Main Mass and Offset Dykes. These data are used to understand the relationships between these rocks, and to provide constraints on how the Ni–Cu–PGE sulfide ore deposits fit into the geological evolution of the Sudbury Structure.In the two drill cores selected for study in this project, the Mafic Norite has 1–5 modal percent pyrrhotite plus chalcopyrite, and elevated Ni (40–1000ppm), Cu (40–1140ppm), and PGE (1.9–7.8ppb Pd, 1.8–7.3ppb Pt); this is overlain by Felsic Norite that contains pyrrhotite, and has a wide range in concentration of Ni (13–257ppm), Cu (7–328ppm), and PGE (<0.01–6.4ppb Pd, <0.01–5ppb Pt). For a similar range of MgO, the upper portion of the Felsic Norite unit has 5–10 times lower Ni and Cu abundances than within-plate basalts and local crustal rocks, and PGE abundance levels are mostly below analytical determination limits. Stratigraphic studies of other compositional profiles around the SIC demonstrate that this depletion signature of Ni, Cu, and PGE is widespread and developed not only above mineralized embayments and offsets, but also above barren sections of the lower contact of the SIC.The depletion of the upper part of the Felsic Norite in Ni, Cu and PGE is presumably due to equilibration of the magma with magmatic sulfide, and accumulation of this dense sulfide liquid. Results of modeling indicate that the parental magma giving rise to the Mafic and Felsic Norites had initial Ni and Cu contents of 210 and 110ppm, respectively. In addition, Ni, Cu and PGE tenors calculated in 100% sulfide from the Copper Cliff Offset average 13% Cu, 6% Ni, 18ppm Pd, and 19ppm Pt indicating that these sulfides had formed by fractionation from magmas that contained 310ppm Ni, 310ppm Cu, 18ppb Pd and 19ppb Pt. These values are factors of 3 to 5 higher than the Ni, Cu, Pd, and Pt contents of the Onaping Formation with average values of 55ppm Ni, 48ppm Cu, and 4.9ppb Pd as well as the marginal sulfide-poor phase of the Worthington Offset quartz diorite, which has average values of 61ppm Ni, 59ppm Cu, 2.8ppb Pd and 4.0ppb Pt. Both the Onaping Formation and the marginal quartz diorite are believed to represent the initial composition of a large component of the melt sheet. There is therefore a fundamental problem in reconciling the initial metal contents of the SIC magma as indicated by the marginal phases of the Offset dykes and that of the Onaping Formation with the composition of the SIC magma at the times of formation of the sulfides as indicated by their Ni, Cu and PGE tenors.It is proposed that because the SIC melt sheet was initially superheated with a temperature of 1700°C, it was able to dissolve 5 times as much S as it could at its liquidus temperature of 1200°C. It was also initially composed of an emulsion of mafic and felsic melts (Marsh and Zieg, 1999), which may have formed discrete magma cells. As the temperature of the melt sheet decreased, some of these magma cells became S-saturated and the resultant Ni–Cu–PGE sulfides settled downwards and on reaching magma cells lower in the melt sheet were re-dissolved thereby raising the Ni, Cu and PGE contents of the lower magma cells. It was from these enriched magma cells that precipitation of the ore-forming Ni–Cu–PGE sulfide melts eventually took place.The mineral potential of Offset and embayment structures appears to be empirically linked to the thickness of the overlying noritic rocks; for example, the most heavily mineralized embayments and Offset Dykes are located in areas where the Felsic Norite is thickest. It appears unlikely that the entire 1–3km-thick melt sheet was convectively mixing throughout its lateral extent, and so the heterogeneity in sulfide distribution was retained after crystallization and cooling.  相似文献

Summary A detailed electron microprobe study of P, F, Ge and Ga-contents in rock-forming topaz was performed on a suite of Variscan granites at Podlesí in the western Kruné Hory Mts., Czech Republic. Topaz crystals from the relatively less evolved biotite- and protolithionite granites display homogeneous cathodo-luminescence (CL) intensities, whereas topaz from the marginal pegmatite, highly fractionated zinnwaldite granite and greisens show intense oscillatory zoning. Phosphorus contents reach 1.15wt% P2O5 in topaz from the zinnwaldite granite. Many topaz crystals are distinctly zoned with a maximum P content in the transition zone between core and rim. Phosphorus is incorporated into the topaz lattice by berlinite substitution: Al3++P5+=Si4++Si4+. The majority of analysed topazes are highly saturated in F, reaching 90–97% of the theoretical maximum saturation. Topaz from the marginal pegmatite only reaches 87–90% of F-saturation. There is a positive correlation between Ptopaz and Pwhole rock, but no correlation between Ftopaz and Fwhole rock. No difference has been found in P and F contents between magmatic and the hydrothermal (=greisen stage) topaz. Contents of Ge and Ga vary from around the detection limit (50ppm) up to 200ppm Ge and 100ppm Ga, respectively.  相似文献

Summary In this paper we present what is, to the best of our knowledge, the first comprehensive study of clinopyroxenes and plagioclases contained in the flows of the Grande Ronde Basalt member of the Columbia River Basalt Group (northwestern USA). The rocks have MgO(wt%)<6%, and trace amounts of Cr and Ni. About 56% of extracted solid containing normative clinopyroxene and plagioclase explains the liquid line of descent from the more mafic sample (MgO wt%=5.89) to the most evolved. The most ubiquitous phases in the basalts are plagioclase and augite. Ilmenite and magnetite are accessories in all rocks. Olivine is present in small amount only in one sample (RT 89-7). Based on principles of Ca–Na plagioclase–liquid exchange, estimates of pre-eruptive magmatic water are < 2.4wt%. From clinopyroxene–liquid equilibria, calculated pressures and temperatures of ascending magmas are between 1atm and 0.617GPa, and 1068°C and 1166°C, respectively. Compositions of magnetite–ilmenite pairs and olivine–clinopyroxene–oxide assemblages yield post-eruptive oxygen fugacities of NNO=–1.923, and one pre-eruptive value of NNO=– 2.455. A simple model of asthenospheric melting and magma ponding in the lower crust fits the physical parameters.Supplementary material to this paper is available in electronic form at http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s00710-003-0017-1  相似文献

Summary A large number of podiform chromitite bodies of massive, disseminated and nodular type have been located in ultramafic units, composed of depleted mantle harzburgite and dunite of the Marmaris Peridotite from Ortaca (Mula, SW Turkey). The chromite ore bodies are surrounded by dunite envelopes of variable thickness, exhibiting transitional boundaries to harzburgite host rocks. Chromitites, containing a large number of inclusions, i.e. silicates, base metal sulphides and alloys, and platinum-group minerals (PGM) have a wide range of chemical composition. The Cr# [Cr/(Cr+Al)] values of most chromitites are high (0.61–0.81) and Mg# [Mg/(Mg+Fe2+)] values range between 0.65 and 0.71 with TiO2 content lower than 0.24wt.%, which may reflect the crystallization of chromites from boninitic magmas in supra-subduction setting environment.Platinum-group minerals (PGM) such as laurite, erlichmanite and Os–Ir alloys, silicates such as olivine, clinopyroxene and amphibole, and base metal sulphides (BM-S), alloys (BM-A) and arsenides (BM-As) are found as inclusions in chromite or in the serpentine matrix. Platinum-group element (PGE) concentrations of the Ortaca chromitites (OC) are low in all samples. Total PGE (Ir+Ru+Rh+Pt+Pd) ranges from 63ng/g to 266ng/g and Pd/Ir ratios range between 0.23 and 4.75. PGE content is higher and the Pd/Ir ratio lower in Cr-rich chromitites compared to Al-rich ones. There is a strong negative correlation between the Cr# and Pd/Ir ratios (r=–0.930). The PGE patterns show a negative slope from Ru to Pt and a positive slope from Pt to Pd. The low PGE content in the majority of the OC may reflect a lack of sulphur saturation during an early stage of their crystallization. The laurite compositions show a wide range of Ru–Os substitution caused by relatively low temperature and increasing f(S2) during the chromite crystallization. The high Cr# of and hydrous silicate mineral inclusions in chromite imply that chromite crystallized in a supra-subduction setting.  相似文献

Summary On Diego de Almagro Island in Chilean Patagonia (51°30S), a convergent strike slip zone, the Seno Arcabuz shear zone, separates the Diego de Almagro Metamorphic Complex from very low grade metagreywackes in the east, which were intruded by Jurassic granitoids. The Diego de Almagro Metamorphic Complex is composed of a metapsammopelitic sequence containing blueschist intercalations in the west and (garnet) amphibolite lenses in the east. Peak metamorphic conditions (stage I) at 9.5–13.5kbar, 380–450°C in the blueschist and at 11.2–13.2, 460–565°C in the amphibolite indicate subduction and accretion at different positions within the deepest part of the accretionary wedge. A K–Ar age of 117±28Ma of amphibole approximately dates the peak of metamorphism in the amphibolite. The early retrograde stage of metamorphism occurred under static conditions and resulted in localized equilibration (stage II) at 6.3–9.6kbar, 320–385°C in the blueschist and 6.1–8.4kbar, 310–504°C in the amphibolite. Both P-T paths converge within a midcrustal level.In contrast, an orthogneiss of trondhjemitic composition occurring within the Seno Arcabuz shear zone is associated with a garnet mica-schist containing a high temperature/intermediate pressure assemblage formed at 4.9–6.5kbar, 580–690°C. A muscovite K–Ar age of 122.2±4.6Ma dates cooling after this event which is related to a concomitant magmatic arc. These rocks were overprinted by a mylonitic deformation, which is caused by convergent strike slip shearing and ends during formation of a retrograde phengite-chlorite-stilpnomelane assemblage at a minimum pressure of approximately 5.7kbar (at 300°C).Zircon fission track ages from rocks of the Seno Arcabuz shear zone are 64.9±2.7 and 64.9±2.7Ma; they record the end of shearing in the Seno Arcabuz shear zone that juxtaposed all rocks in the middle crust. Zircon fission track ages ranging from 78 to 105Ma in the South Patagonian batholith to the east indicate earlier cooling through 280°C. The rocks of the Diego de Almagro Metamorphic Complex were initially slowly exhumed and resided at a midcrustal level before being emplaced via shearing in the Seno Arcabuz shear zone. Apatite fission track ages (54±8Ma) from the Seno Arcabuz shear zone show that exhumation and cooling rates increased after this event. The incorporation of continental crust within the subduction system was a late process, which modified the Cretaceous accretionary wedge, resulting in considerable shortening of the convergent margin.  相似文献

Lake Joyce is one of the least studied lakes of the McMurdo Dry Valleys. Similar to other lakes in this region, Lake Joyce is a closed-basin, permanently ice-covered, meromictic lake. We present here a detailed investigation of major ions, nutrients, and dissolved trace elements for Lake Joyce. Specifically, we investigate the role of iron and manganese oxides and hydrous oxides in trace metal cycling.Lake Joyce is characterized by fresh, oxic waters overlying an anoxic brine, primarily Na–Cl. Surface waters have a maximum nitrate concentration of 26M with a molar dissolved inorganic nitrogen to phosphorus ratio of 477. The supply of nitrogen is attributed to atmospheric deposition, possibly from polar stratospheric clouds. Dissolved phosphorus is scavenged by hydrous iron oxides. The pH is highest (10.15) just beneath the 7-m thick ice cover and decreases to a minimum of 7.29 in the redox transition zone. Dissolved Al exceeds 8M in surface waters, and appears to be controlled by equilibrium with gibbsite. In contrast, concentrations of other trace elements in surface waters are quite low (e.g., 5.4nM Cu, 0.19nM Co, <20pM La). Dissolved Fe, Mn, Ni and Cd were below our detection limits of 13 nM, 1. 8 nM, 4.7 nM and 15pM (respectively) in surface waters. There was a 6-m vertical separation in the onset of Mn and Fe reduction, with dissolved Mn appearing higher in the water column than Fe. Based on thermodynamic calculations, dissolved Mn appears to be controlled by equilibrium with hausmannite (Mn3O4). Co tracks the Mn profile closely, suggesting Co(III) is bound in the lattice of Mn oxides, whereas the Ce profile is similar, yet the Ce anomaly suggests oxidative scavenging of Ce. Release of Cu, Ni, Cd and trivalent REE appears to be controlled by pH-induced desorption from Fe and Mn oxides, although Cu (and perhaps Ni) may be scavenged by organic matter in surface waters.  相似文献

Summary ¶This study experimentally investigated the transformation kinetics of synthetic polycrystalline aragonite to calcite at four temperature/pressure conditions (330°C/200MPa, 380°C/325MPa, 430°C/580MPa, and 480°C/875MPa), close to the calcite-aragonite equilibrium phase boundary. The extents of transformation measured as a function of time in a synthetic system, using in-situ annealed, high purity samples, are consistent with the kinetic model for grain-boundary nucleation and interface-controlled growth. The growth rates are slightly lower than those previously determined for a natural polycrystalline sample at 330 and 380°C. The activation energy (158kJ/mol) for calcite growth from synthetic samples is lower than that (247kJ/mol) from natural samples, but is close to the previously reported value (163kJ/mol) from a single crystal aragonite. The extrapolation of our experimental data to natural conditions reveals unusually fast transformation rates, in contrast to those of natural samples. The presence of deformational strain, fractures, defects or impurities in natural samples, and other factors may account for the discrepancy. This study suggests that the retrograde metamorphism of aragonite to calcite may proceed in a wide range of rates also depending on other geological factors than temperature and pressure.Received July 15, 2002; revised version accepted May 15, 2003  相似文献

Summary The provenance of the Mid-Devonian clastic sediments in the Teplá-Barrandian Unit (TBU) of the Bohemian Massif was investigated by laser ablation ICP-MS U–Pb zircon dating, bulk sediment geochemistry and mineralogical study of the heavy mineral fraction. In contrast to the island arc provenance of the TBU Neoproterozoic sediments, the Early Palaeozoic sediments contain significant amounts of differentiated crustal material. The detrital zircon populations in the Barrandian Mid-Devonian siltstones and sandstones show ages ranging from Archaean (3.0Ga) to Early Palaeozoic (0.39Ga). Major age maxima are at 2.6Ga, 2.0–2.25Ga, 0.62 and 0.51Ga. The youngest identified zircons so far correspond to Lower and Mid-Devonian ages. The extensive mechanical abrasion of zircons having Archaean (3.0, 2.8 and 2.6Ga) to Paleoproterozoic ages (2.25–2.0Ga) suggest their provenance from recycled old sedimentary sequences. The relatively large number of zircons with ages between 2.0 and 3.0Ga may indicate the presence of relicts of the Archaean/Paleoproterozoic crust in the source areas of the studied Mid-Devonian sediments. The absence of detrital zircon ages between 0.9 and 1.2Ga and the presence of zircon ages of 2.0–2.25 and 0.5–0.8Ga correspond to the zircon age pattern from the Gondwana-related North African, rather than Gondwana-related South American and Baltic terranes. The material was entering the basin predominantly from the west and consisted primarily of detrital material of Cambrian granitoids and recycled material of Neoproterozoic meta-sedimentary sequences.  相似文献

Summary The investigated Al-phosphate- and Al-borosilicate-bearing metaquartzite horizon belongs to the Middle Proterozoic Serra de Vereda member of the São Marcos Formation of the northern Espinhaço fold belt. Outcrops are located in the NNW–SSE trending hills of the Serra de Canas/Cana Brava (Northern Serra do Espinhaço, State of Bahia, NE Brazil) about 10km west of the town of Boquira. Sky blue lazulite and deep blue to lilac dumortierite are enriched in layers which sometimes show relic cross bedding. The occurrence of hematite patches and layers is typical. In rocks of type A, phosphorus contents range from 1.89wt.% to 10.73wt.% P2O5 and boron contents are mostly below 10ppm whereas in the rocks of type B phosphorus contents are below 1% and boron contents reach 2600ppm with a mean value of 1139ppm. REE distribution patterns of rocks are predominantly controlled by the amount of xenotime, monazite and zircon. Oxygen thermometry on quartz and hematite and the stability of kyanite, augelite, trolleite and berlinite allow to estimate the minimum metamorphic peak P-T conditions at 475°C and 3.8kbar i.e. within the stability field of scorzalite–lazulite and dumortierite. The association of Al-phosphates with hematite layers provides evidence for the deposition of the metaquartzite protolith in a seawater-fed sabkha-like sand flat fringing the Espinhaço rift. It is proposed that apatite, Al-phosphates and Al-borosilicates were chemically precipitated together with iron hydroxides from pore fluids. The antithetic behaviour of phosphorus and boron contents in the metaquartzites is the consequence of an influx of toxic boron-rich water that drastically affected algae populations and consequently reduced phosphorus precipitation.  相似文献

Summary Vein-type Mo mineralization at Alpeiner Scharte occurs in the Penninic units of the western Tauern Window in the Eastern Alps. Three types of previously undated metagranitoids (central gneisses) are distinguished and preserve intrusive contacts with pre-Alpine metamorphosed supracrustal rocks. The granitic protoliths represent fractionated late to post-orogenic, calc-alkaline, I-type magmas with minor S-type components. The Mo veins are restricted to a biotite and alkali feldspar-rich gneiss variety and occur in E–W trending normally sub-vertical quartz veins with adjacent thin discontinuous garnet- and biotite-rich zones; the latter are interpreted as metamorphosed vein selvages. Prior to this work the age of the intrusive host rocks as well as the age of Mo mineralization were unknown.The pre-Alpine Mo deposit and its host rocks were affected by four Alpine deformation events (D1–D4) and Young-Alpine regional metamorphism. The P-T conditions of this metamorphic event were 550°C and 8kbar and are in agreement with results of previous regional studies.Zircon grains from two orthogneiss samples were dated with the U–Pb method using ion probe techniques. Zircons from the metagranitic host rock of the Mo-veins yielded an emplacement age of 306.8±3.8Ma (2). A second sample from a more leucocratic gneiss lacking Mo-veins gave 305.0±6.6Ma (2). Re–Os dating of molybdenite from the veins yielded an age of 306.8±3.1Ma, in good agreement with the U–Pb zircon ages.This study confirms one of two alternative hypotheses discussed in the literature. It supports the idea that vein-type Mo-mineralization in the western Tauern Window is genetically related to Late Carboniferous (Westphalian) granitoids that were emplaced during the late to post-orogenic stage of the Variscan orogeny. They do not constitute an Alpine metamorphic-hydrothermal deposit. This study further confirms the strength of the Re–Os molybdenite chronometer, in that it was unaffected by subsequent Alpine medium grade regional metamorphism.Present address: Kremstalstraße 32, A-4501 Neuhofen an der Krems, Austria  相似文献

Summary Geochronological data (U–Pb, Rb–Sr and 40Ar/39Ar) are used to unravel the Late Alpine high-grade metamorphism, migmatisation and exhumation of Variscan granitoids within the core of the Central Rhodopean dome, Bulgaria. The age of the granitoid protolith is 300±11Ma, as determined by U–Pb analyses on single zircons selected from the core of the dome structure.Rb–Sr whole rock data define an errorchron with a large scatter of the data points due to the Late Alpine metamorphic overprint. The slope of the reference line indicates a Variscan magmatic event. Strontium characteristics are used to discriminate the samples most influenced by metamorphism from those, which reflect possible differences in the protolith age of the granitoids.Petrological-geochemical data, the initial strontium ratio of 0.708±0.001, and Hf zircon values ranging from –2.58 to –3.82 point to a mixed, but crust-dominated origin of the Variscan magmas; young crustal material and mantle fragments were sources for the I-type metagranitoids.The exhumation of the granitoids from depths greater than 20–25km to about 5km below the surface was a rapid geological process. It started with the formation of granitic eutectic minimum melts at the temperature peak of metamorphism. Monazite crystallisation at about 650°C continued during isothermal decompression to possible depths of about 10–12km. An age of 35.83±0.40Ma was determined using conventional U–Pb isotope methods on four multigrain monazite fractions. A maximum average age of 36.6–37.5Ma (assuming same error uncertainties) for crystallisation of the metamorphic monazites was calculated assuming 10 to 20% monazite resetting during the subsequent Oligocene volcanism and hydrothermal activity in the region of the Central Rhodopean Dome. The rocks were then cooled to about 350–300°C at 35.35±0.22Ma according to 40Ar/39Ar ages of biotites and below 300°C at 35.31±0.25Ma (Rb–Sr data), as indicated by crystallisation of adularia in an open vein subsequent to pegmatite intrusion. A minimum exhumation rate of 3–5km per 1 million years can therefore be calculated for the exhumation of the metagranitoids during the period from 38–35Ma.  相似文献

The axial base and skin capacities of piles bored in cohesion less soils are often estimated using empirical, semi-empirical and theoretical methods. The aim of this paper is to assess the applicability and evaluate the accuracy of different predictions methods available in the literature, via comparison with data from 43 field pile load tests conducted on shafts drilled in the region of the United Arab Emirates. Janbu's theoretical method (1989) with the parameter (=75°) and Vesics theoretical method (1975) yielded accurate predictions for the base resistances. Burlands approach (1973) overpredicts the skin capacities with an average predicted-to-estimated ratio (q p /q e) of three times greater than the unity while using values of the coefficient of earth pressure (k=05k o ) and the angle of soil-pile friction (=23).  相似文献

Summary High-grade gneisses from the Pulur complex in NE Turkey bear evidence for biotite-dehydration melting at 820°C and 0.7–0.8GPa, melt segregation and near-isothermal decompression to 0.4–0.5GPa. During further exhumation, the rocks underwent secondary pervasive rehydration at temperatures between 400 and 230°C and fluid pressures between 0.3 and 0.1GPa. Metamorphic peak conditions are dated at 331–327Ma, while hydrothermal retrogression occurred significantly later at 315–310Ma under static conditions. During the rehydration event, primary high-grade mineral assemblages including garnet, cordierite, sillimanite, spinel, biotite, plagioclase and ilmenite were extensively replaced by muscovite, paragonite, margarite, corundum, diaspore, chlorite, kaolinite, pumpellyite, prehnite, epidote, titanite, anatase, pyrite and chalcopyrite. Secondary mineral assemblages indicate that the infiltrating fluids were characterized by low fO2, very low XCO2 (<0.002), variable activities of Ca2+, K+, Na+ and H+ and relatively high activities of H2S and CH4. Quartz veins that might have acted as pathways for the fluids are rare. Ubiquitous veinlets consisting of (i) albite, (ii) chlorite+calcite+quartz or (iii) K-feldspar+calcite+quartz were formed after the pervasive rehydraton event by precipitation from aqueous solutions that were somewhat richer in CO2.  相似文献

Summary Titanite varieties doped with rare earth elements (REE) have been prepared by ceramic synthesis and quenching in air. Their crystal structure was determined by Rietveld analysis of the powder X-ray diffraction patterns. Two different substitution schemes, Ca1–xNax/2Smx/2TiSiO5 and Ca1–xDyxTi1–x SiO5, are studied at x=0.2. Both synthetic varieties of titanite adopt space group A2/a. This implies that both single-site and complex multivalent substitutional schemes destroy the coherence of the off-centering of octahedral chains in the titanite structure resulting in a P21/aA2/a phase transition. Unit cell dimensions obtained for the REE-bearing titanite varieties are as follows: a=7.0541(1)Å; b=8.7247(1)Å; c=6.5664(1)Å; =113.732(1)° for Ca0.8Na0.1Sm0.1TiSiO5; and a=7.0021(1)Å; b=8.7256(1)Å; c=6.5427(1)Å; =113.294(1)° for . Both REE-doped titanite samples and a control sample of the pure titanite end member have similar unit cell parameters and consist of polyhedra distorted to a similar extent with the exception of more-distorted SiO4 tetrahedron in CaSiTiO5. The structural data suggest that the Ca1–xNax/2Smx/2TiSiO5 and Ca1–xDyxTi1–xFexSiO5 solid solutions adopting the titanite structure might extend to x sufficiently greater than 0.2 and involve both heavier and lighter trivalent rare earth elements.Permanent address: Geological Institute KSC RAS, 14 Fersmana St., Apatity, 184200 Russia  相似文献

Recent observations of crustal rifting in the NE-Iceland axial zone are summarized and discussed. The thermal state of the crust in the axial zone is discussed on the basis of thermal gradient measurements, magnetotelluric soundings, and modelling of the accretion mechanism. The three independent methods are in good general agreement. Thermal modelling indicates that a zone of partial melting generally exists below approximately 6 km depth in the axial zone. It is suggested, that thermal stresses induced by the cooling of the lithosphere as it moves away from the axis are largely responsible for the off-axis volcanism, and that the thermal stresses also contribute to enhancing the vertical permeability for geothermal waters at intermediate crustal depths on the flanks of the axial zone.
Zusammenfassung Neue Beobachtungen von Driftbewegungen der Erdkruste in dem zentralen Bereich der aktiven Riftzone in Nordost-Island werden zusammengefaßt und diskutiert. Der thermische Zustand der Zentralzone wird diskutiert an Hand von Temperaturgradientmessungen, magnetotellurischen Messungen und Modelrechnungen, die die Entstehung der Kontinentalplatten beschreiben. Die Ergebnisse der drei unabhängigen Methoden sind in guter Übereinstimmung miteinander. Thermische Modelrechnungen weisen darauf hin, daß in einer Tiefe von etwa 6 km unterhalb der zentralen Zone, eine Schicht von teilweise geschmolzenen Gesteinsmassen allgemein vorhanden ist. Es wird vorgeschlagen, daß thermische Spannungen, die durch die Abkühlung der Lithosphäre auf seiner Bewegung weg von der zentralen Riftzone erzeugt werden, hauptsächlich für die vulkanische Aktivität außerhalb der Zentralzone verantwortlich sind. Die thermischen Spannungen erhöhen vermutlich auch eine vertikale Permeabilität für geothermales Wasser in der mittleren Kruste an den Flanken der aktiven Zone.
Résumé L'auteur résume et discute des observations récentes de formation de rift crustal dans la zone axiale du NE de l'Islande. Il discute l'état thermique de la croûte dans la zone axiale sur la base de mesures du gradient thermique, de sondages magnéto-telluriques et d'un modèle du mécanisme d'accroissement. Ces trois méthodes indépendantes sont en général en bon accord. Le modèle thermique indique qi'il existe généralement une zone de fusion partielle en-dessous d'une profondeur approximative de 6 km dans la zone axiale. Il est suggéré que des tensions thermales induites par le refroidissement de la lithosphere au fur et à mesure qu'il s'écarte de l'axe sont largement responsables du volcanisme à l'écart de l'axe, et que les tensions thermiques contribuent aussi à activer la perméabilité, suivant la verticale, pour les eaux chaudes aux profondeurs crustales moyennes sur les flancs de la zone axiale.

Summary The Etive complex, one of the Caledonian Newer Granites of Scotland, is a ring complex of Devonian age, ranging in composition from pyroxene-diorite to leucogranite. Six samples, representing the major rock units in the southern parts of the Etive complex were chosen for mineral chemical studies and for estimation of the pressure and temperature conditions of magmatic crystallisation. Application of Al- in-hornblende barometry and crossite contents of amphiboles indicates a pressure <3kbar for the intrusion, in good agreement with published independent pressure estimates of 2kbar from mineral equilibria in metasedimentary hornfelses in the Etive thermal aureole. Thermometry, using ternary and binary feldspar systems, yields low temperatures, which probably reflect late-stage, post-magmatic re-equilibration of these minerals. Several geothermometers have been applied to the Quarry Diorite, the outermost intrusion of the complex. The highest temperature for the rocks comes from orthopyroxene–clinopyroxene solvus thermometry, and is 1000°C; this is interpreted to reflect the initial crystallisation of the diorite magma immediately after its emplacement. The maximum temperature from hornblende-plagioclase thermometer is 816°C, which probably reflects late-stage crystallisation of the magma.  相似文献

Summary The paper investigates the role of primary magmatic phases in the fractionation and concentration of PGE in Archaean mafic and ultramafic systems. The composition of chromites and olivines in sulphur-poor (S<0.6wt%) komatiites from the Agnew-Wiluna Belt (Western Australia), and of chromite concentrated from komatiitic basalt, ferropicritic basalt and tholeiitic basalt from the Abitibi Belt (Canada) were analysed. The results of laser ablation ICP-MS analyses show that PGE-bearing alloys are not stable in crystallising komatiite and that ruthenium is soluble in chromite during crystallisation. Conversely, analyses of chromites separated from Theos Flow tholeiitic basalt indicate that Ir–Os–(±Pt) enrichments (>200ppb) reflect the presence of PGM. Chromites from Freds Flow komatiitic basalt contain Ir-rich clusters, whereas Pt enrichments (>370ppb) in Boston Creek ferropicritic basalt reflect the presence of Pt-rich compounds. The presence of PGE-bearing alloys in Theos Flow and Freds Flow is due to late S-supersaturation, whereas the presence of Pt-rich compounds in Boston Creek Flow reflects high state of melt oxidisation. The lack of PGE-bearing alloys in the olivines and chromites of komatiites can be explained by thermal instability of PGM, depletion in PGE at the mantle source, early S-supersaturation, the oxidisation conditions of the melt, or a combination of these factors.  相似文献

Deduced from empirical and theoretical work, a model is proposed for the rheology of bi- and polyphase rocks based on the rheology of the components, their volume fractions, and their geometrical distribution. The model is formulated for the common case where some minerals deform by crystall plasticity at steady state and others, stronger ones, deform in the vincinity of the brittle-ductile transition.The model results from a combination of a load-carrying framework model and a two-block model. The first model is valid for the field, where stress is mainly accommodated by interconnecting stronger phases. The second model describes the case where strain is concentrated mainly within the weaker phase. The transition-point from one partial-model to the other depends on the material properties of the minerals involved. With increasing strain, it shifts first to higher then to lower contents of weaker materials, due to an increase of contrast in competence and to the development of a mechanically induced compositional foliation. Finally, the rheology of the resulting well foliated rock is dominated by the rheology of the weakest component.
Zusammenfassung Basierend auf empirischen und theoretischen Arbeiten wird ein Modell für zwei- und mehrphasige Gesteine vorgestellt, mit dem die Gesamt-Rheologie als Funktion der Rheologien der einzelnen Phasen, ihren volumenmäßigen Anteilen am Gesamtgestein und ihrer geometrischen Verteilung formuliert werden kann.Das Modell entsteht durch die Verbindung zweier Teil-Modelle. Das eine nimmt ein tragendes Gerüst, aufgebaut durch härtere, vorwiegend spröd bis kataklastisch deformierende Mineralien an. Das zweite gilt für den Bereich, wo die Verformung vollständig durch weiche Komponenten aufgenommen wird.Der Übergang vom Gültigkeitsbereich des einen in denjenigen des anderen Teilmodells ist eine Funktion der Materialeigenschaften der beteiligten Mineralien. Er verlagert sich mit zunehmender Deformation zuerst in Richtung höherer, dann in Richtung niedrigerer Anteile von weicheren Komponenten, bedingt einerseits durch einen zunehmenden Kompetenzkontrast, andererseits durch die zunehmende, mechanisch bedingte Ausbildung einer Stoffbänderung. Die Rheologie des schlußendlich vollständig gebänderten Gesteins wird weitgehendst von der Rheologie der weichsten Komponente kontrolliert.
Résumé L'auteur, à partir de données empiriques et de travaux théoriques, présente un modèle de la rhéologie des roches biet poly-phasées, dans lequel cette propriété apparaît comme une fonction de la rhéologie de chacune des phases, des proportions en volume de celles-ci et de leurs relations géométriques. Ce modèle s'applique au cas le plus répandu dans lequel certains minéraux ont un comportement proche de la transition cassant-ductile, tandis que les autres fluent plastiquement à contrainte constante à l'intervention de processus intra-cristallins.Le modèle est la synthèse de deux modèles partiels. Le premier correspond au cas où la phase compétente forme un squelette absorbant la plus grande part de la contrainte («load-carrying framework model»). Le deuxième s'applique au cas où la déformation se concentre presque uniquement dans la phase incompétente («two bock model»). La transition d'un modèle partiel à l'autre dépend des propriétés physiques de ces deux phases. Lors d'une déformation progressive cette transition se déplace dans un premier temps vers les plus grandes teneurs en matériau moins compétent, en raison de l'accroissement de la différence de compétence. Puis elle glisse, au contraire, vers les plus petites teneurs en raison du développement d'un rubanement compositionnel d'origine mécanique. Finalement la rhéologie d'une roche ainsi entièrement rubanée est déterminée essentiellement par la rhéologie du matériau le moins compétent.
