新疆克拉玛依百口泉蛇绿混杂岩中辉长岩岩石学和地球化学研究 总被引：7，自引：3，他引：4
克拉玛依蛇绿混杂岩带百口泉剖面由尖晶石蛇纹岩、辉长岩、玄武岩和硅质岩组成。岩相学研究表明,百口泉辉长岩分为堆晶岩(具堆晶结构)和辉长岩(具辉长结构)两类,且均经历了低-中级变质改造。微量元素地球化学显示其岩浆起源于亏损地幔,强烈的Sr异常和Eu异常表明强烈的斜长石堆晶过程。根据其稀土配分模式推测其源区为尖晶石相的地幔橄榄岩。结合野外地质关系和地球化学特征,白碱滩尖晶石二辉橄榄岩能够代表其源区成分,利用微量元素模拟其岩浆演化过程显示:尖晶石二辉橄榄岩发生2.5%部分熔融所形成的熔体,通过10%～20%分离结晶可以形成堆晶辉长岩,经过80%～90%分离结晶则可以形成具辉长结构的辉长岩。因此,蛇绿混杂岩中零星分布的堆晶岩和辉长岩团块是同源岩浆演化的产物。对分离结晶过程中Nb元素地球化学行为的研究表明,岩浆的结晶分异能够导致辉长岩明显亏损Nb。 相似文献

江苏东海芝麻房预先导孔（CCSD-PPl）橄榄岩及其反映的上地幔亏损和交代事件 总被引：10，自引：2，他引：10
芝麻房预先导孔橄榄岩岩石类型有二辉橄榄岩、方辉橄榄岩、单辉橄榄岩和纯橄榄岩，其中前3种多数含有石榴子石。这些岩石在垂向上显示成层性，没有某种方向的韵律变化，它们之间呈渐变过渡关系。对样品进行主量元素、微量元素、稀土元素和Sr、Nd、O同位素分析表明，随着样品MgO含量的增高，Al2O3、CaO逐渐降低，呈良好的相关关系，并且大致上从石榴橄榄岩类到不含石榴子石的橄榄岩类主量元素的亏损程度增高，两者一般均比原始地幔主量元素亏损。稀土元素配分型式表现为右倾的轻稀土富集型，在微量元素蛛网图上，也表现为强不相容元素和微量元素到适度不相容元素的总体右倾型，与原始地幔相比，均富集强不相容元素。富集程度的不同与主量元素的亏损无对应关系，说明主量元素和微量元素各自的特点不是同一种事件造成的，而是先前地幔部分熔融作用之后又发生了富含不相容元素流体的交代作用。Sr、Nd同位素具有富集特点，变化范围较大，而且主量元素较亏损的岩石更富集Sr同位素，显示了交代富集的特点。稀土元素(Ce／Yb)x比值和εNd之间的负相关关系和Rb丰度与Sr同位素之间的正相关关系表明，富集Sr、Nd同位素的流体和富集不相容微量元素的流体均来自地幔。 相似文献

The paper reports data on the Nd isotopic composition and the evaluated composition of the sources of magmatism that produced massifs of alkali and basic rocks of the Khaldzan-Buregtei group. The massifs were emplaced in the terminal Devonian at 392–395 Ma in the Ozernaya zone of western Mongolia. The host rocks of the massifs are ophiolites of the early Caledonian Ozernaya zone, which were dated at 545–522 Ma. The massifs were emplaced in the following succession (listed in order from older to younger): (1) nordmarkites and dolerites syngenetic with them; (2) alkali granites and syngenetic dolerites; (3) dike ekerites; (4) dike pantellerites; (5) rare-metal granitoids; (6) alkali and intermediate basites and quartz syenites; and (7) miarolitic rare-metal alkali granites. Our data on the Nd isotopic composition [?Nd(T)] and conventionally used (canonical) ratios of incompatible elements (Nb/U, Zr/Nb, and La/Yb) in rocks from the alkaline massifs and their host ophiolites indicate that all of these rocks were derived mostly from mantle and mantle-crustal enriched sources like OIB, E-MORB, and IAB with a subordinate contribution of N-MORB (DM) and upper continental crustal material. The variations in the ?Nd(T) values in rocks of these massifs suggest multiple mixing of the sources or magmas derived from them when the massifs composing the Khaldzan-Buregtei group were produced. The OIB and E-MORB sources were mixed when the rocks with mantle signatures were formed. The occurrence of nordmarkites, alkali granites, and other rocks whose isotopic and geochemical signatures are intermediate between the values for mantle and crustal sources testifies to the mixing of mantle and crustal magmas. The crustal source itself, which consisted of rocks of the ophiolite complex, was obviously isotopically and geochemically heterogeneous, as also were the magmas derived from it. The model proposed for the genesis of alkali rocks of the Khaldzan-Buregtei massifs implies that the magmas were derived at two major depth levels: (1) mantle, at which the plume source mixed with an E-MORB source, and (2) crustal, at which the ophiolites were melted, and this gave rise to the parental magmas of the nordmarkites and alkali granites. The basites were derived immediately from the mantle. The mantle syenites, pantellerites, and rare-metal granitoids were produced either by the deep crystallization differentiation of basite magma or by the partial melting of the parental basites and the subsequent crystallization differentiation of the generated magmas. Differentiation likely took place in an intermediate chamber at depth levels close to the crustal (ophiolite) level of magma generation. Only such conditions could ensure the intense mixing of mantle and crustal magmas. The principal factor initiating magma generation in the region was the mantle plume that controlled within-plate magmatism in the Altai-Sayan area and the basite magmas related to this plume, which gave rise to small dikes and magmatic bodies in the group of intrusive massifs. 相似文献

The northeast part of the Czech Republic (Moravia) and the adjoining part of Poland host a 100-km-long and 15- to 25-km-wide belt containing numerous isolated bodies (mainly sills) of lamprophyre of Lower Cretaceous age. The lamprophyres range from mafic (melanocratic) to evolved, feldspar-rich (mesocratic) variants. Mineralogically, they are characterized by compositionally zoned kaersutite phenocrysts, biotite and high Al–Ti salitic to diopsidic clinopyroxene. The lamprophyres are typically alkaline as shown by high contents of P2O5, TiO2, alkalies and incompatible trace elements such as light REE, Zr, Nb, Y, Ba and Sr, and by high Ti/V (>50) and chondrite-normalized (La/Yb)n (8–25) ratios. They resemble alkali basalts, basanites and nephelinites. Major element composition and trace element patterns and Nd–Sr isotopic values (εNd ca. +5.5 to +6.6 and εSr ca. –9.5 to –24.0) indicate that the lamprophyric magma was derived from a mantle source that was compositionally similar to the source of ocean island basalts with HIMU affinities and some continental extension-related alkali basaltic suites. The lamprophyres do not show any subduction imprint. They were generated in the garnet stability field by a variable degree of melting. Evolved lamprophyres were formed by clinopyroxene-dominated fractional crystallization of mafic lamprophyric magma. The lamprophyres are interpreted to have been emplaced along conduits formed during the formation of a basin/graben structure in the Early Cretaceous. 相似文献

The intraplate Baegdusan (Changbai) and Ulleung volcanoes located on the border of China, North Korea, and East/Japan Sea, respectively, have been explained by appeals to both hotspots and asthenospheric mantle upwelling (wet plume) caused by the stagnant Pacific plate. To understand the origin of the Baegdusan and Ulleung volcanism, we performed geochemical analyses on the tephra deposits in the East/Japan Sea basins originating from the Baegdusan and Ulleung volcanoes. The volcanic glass in the tephra from the Baegdusan and Ulleung volcanoes ranged from alkaline trachyte to peralkaline rhyolite and from phonolite to trachyte, respectively. The tephra from the two intraplate volcanoes showed highly enriched incompatible elements, such as Tb, Nb, Hf, and Ta, distinct from those of the ordinary arc volcanoes of the Japanese islands. The straddle distribution of the Th/Yb and Ta/Yb ratios of the tephra deposits from the Baegdusan volcano may originate from the alkali basaltic magma resulting from mixing between the wet plume from the stagnant Pacific plate in the transition zone and the overlying shallow asthenospheric mantle. In contrast, the deposits from the Ulleung volcano show a minor contribution of the stagnant slab to the basaltic magma, implying either partial melting of a more enriched mantle, smaller degrees of partial melting of a garnet-bearing mantle source, or a combination of both processes as the magma genesis. Our study indicated that the Baegdusan and Ulleung volcanoes have different magma sources and evolutionary histories. 相似文献

Cenozoic alkali basaltic magmas of western Germany and their products of differentiation 总被引：11，自引：0，他引：11

Analytical data on major elements and 31 trace elements in olivine nephelinites, nepheline basanites, basanitic alkali olivine basalts and their differentiates (tephrites, hawaiites, mugearites, benmoreites, latites, phonolites and trachytes) from Hegau, Kaiserstuhl, Rhön, Hessian Depression, Vogelsberg, Westerwald, Siebengebirge, E Eifel and Hocheifel are evaluated. They were based on 400 samples with new or unpublished data on about one third of the rocks. The Sr–Nd isotopic compositions for 78 rocks are included. The alkali basaltic volcanism is caused by adiabatic decompression of asthenospheric mantle updomed to a minimum depth of 50 km in connection with the Alpine continent collision. The chemical compositions of the primary basaltic melts from the different areas are similar containing about one hundred-fold enrichment of highly incompatible elements relative to the primitive mantle from partial melting of depleted and secondarily enriched peridotite. The elements Cs, K, Pb and Ti are specifically depleted in the basalts partly because of phlogopite being residual at partial melting. The Tertiary alkali basalts range in Nd-isotopic composition from 0.51288 to 0.51273 and in Sr-isotopic ratios from 0.7032 to 0.7042. These ranges indicate mixtures of HIMU, depleted and enriched mantle components in the metasomatically altered peridotite source which resembles that of certain ocean islands. The Nd-Sr-isotopic compositions of the Quaternary E Eifel are close to bulk Earth ratios. East and W Eifel plots differ distinctly from the Tertiary Hocheifel which is geographically intermediate. This isotopic difference, beside specific K/Na ratios, is probably caused by separate metasomatic pulses that immediately preceded the respective periods of volcanism. The metasomatically altered mantle had partly primitive mantle signatures (Nb/Ta, Zr/Sm and Th/U ratios) and partly ocean island (or MORB) source properties (Rb/Cs). A MORB source can be excluded because of the low K/Rb and high Th/U ratios. A correlation of D with 87Sr/86Sr in amphibole and phlogopite and a slightly larger 18O than in MORB is conformable with a seawater and crustal impact on the source of alkali basalts. Slightly higher than average water concentrations in the source of certain primary basaltic melts (indicated by amphibole phenocrysts in their basalts) are required for differentiation of these basalts in magma chambers of the upper crust. Model calculations are presented to explain compositions of differentiates which range from about 60% to about 20% residual melt. The latter are represented by phonolites and trachytes. The Nd- and Sr-isotopic signatures of the majority of differentiates indicate contamination by a granitic partial melt from the wall rocks of magma chambers. Olivine nephelinite magma was the common source of contaminated differentiates. 相似文献

The Sarmiento and Tortuga complexes are two mafic complexes located in southern Chile that represent the remnants of the mafic
portion of the floor of an Early Cretaceous extensional back-arc basin. Basaltic dikes and lavas within each complex exhibit
tholeiite differentiation trends whereby FeO*, FeO*/MgO, TiO2, P2O5, Zr, and Y increase together without significant increases in SiO2. In both complexes, as FeO*/MgO increases, REE abundance increases without significant change in Ce/Yb ratio, but with an
increasing negative Eu anomaly. The Sarmiento complex contains intermediate icelandites and silicic dikes and lavas which
are conspicuously absent in the Tortuga complex. These non-basaltic compositions have higher Zr, Y and REE contents than the
associated basalts, but similar Ce/Yb ratios, suggesting co-genetic origin. Thick cumulate gabbro sequences in both complexes
suggest shallow level crystal-liquid fractionation as a major cause of the observed wide range of chemical variations.
Significantly, in basalts from the Tortuga complex, incompatible elements (Zr, Y, REE) increase in abundance more rapidly
with increasing FeO*/ MgO than in the Sarmiento complex. The rapid increase of incompatible elements relative to FeO*/ MgO
in the Tortuga complex is best modeled by fractionation within an open magma chamber steadily replenished with new batches
of undifferentiated magma. The observed chemical variations within the Sarmiento complex are best modeled by a magma chamber
replenished only a limited number of times by a continuously decreasing volume of undifferentiated magma, followed, subsequent
to the last input of new parental magma, by closed system fractionation which results in the formation of ferro-basalts, icelandites
and silicic differentiates. Ferro-gabbros (FeO* >20 wt °/00) found within the gabbro unit of the Sarmiento complex closely
approximate in composition the calculated crystal extracts required to evolve ferro-basalts into icelandites and the more
silicic differentiates.
The difference between the nature of the postulated magma chambers within the spreading centers at which the Sarmiento and
Tortuga complexes originated suggests that the zone of magma intrusion from the mantle may have been diffuse in the region
where the Sarmiento complex formed and more localized in the region where the Tortuga complex formed. This is consistent with
other geochemical and field evidence suggesting that the Sarmiento complex represents a less developed stage of evolution
than the Tortuga complex of the mafic floor of the Mesozoic back-arc basin in southern Chile.
The apparent decoupling of major and trace element variations in ocean floor basalts may be explained by shallow level igneous
fractionation without involving large proportions of clinopyroxene if the magma chambers within spreading centers at midocean
ridges behave as open systems periodically replenished with batches of undifferentiated parental magma as is inferred for
the Tortuga complex in southern Chile. 相似文献
