Chemistry of potassium feldspars from three zoned pegmatites,Black Hills,South Dakota: Implications concerning pegmatite evolution

An initial phase of an extensive geochemical study of pegmatites from the Black Hills, South Dakota, indicates potassium feldspar composition is useful in interpreting petrogenetic relationships among pegmatites and among pegmatite zones within a single pegmatite. The $\text{K}\text{Rb}$ and $\text{Rb}\text{Sr}$ ratios and Li and Cs contents of the feldspars within each zoned pegmatite, to a first approximation, are consistent with the simple fractional crystallization of the potassium feldspar from a silicate melt from the wall zone to the core of the pegmatites. Some trace element characteristics (i.e. Cs) have been modified by subsolidus reequilibration of the feldspars with late-stage residual fluid.$\text{K}\text{Rb}$ ratios of the potassium feldspar appear to be diagnostic of the pegmatite mineral assemblage. The relationship between $\text{K}\text{Rb}$ and mineralogy is as follows: Harney Peak Granite (barren pegmatites) > 180; Li-Fe-Mn phosphate-bearing pegmatites = 90?50; spodumene-bearing pegmatites = 60?40; pollucitebearing pegmatites < 30. Although the $\text{K}\text{Rb}$ ratios suggest that the pegmatites studied are genetically related by fractional crystallization to each other and the Harney Peak Granite, overlapping $\text{Rb}\text{Sr}$ ratios and the general increase in Sr and Ba with decreasing $\text{K}\text{Rb}$ indicate the genetic relationship is much more complex and may also be dependent upon slight variations in source (chemistry and mineralogy) material composition and degrees of partial melting.  相似文献   

Isotopic composition of strontium in Indian kimberlites     

D.K Paul 《Geochimica et cosmochimica acta》1979,43(3):389-394

Strontium isotopic studies on twenty three whole rock kimberlites from two petrographic provinces in India show variation of initial ${}^{87}\text{Sr}{}^{86}\text{Sr}$ ratios from 0.7027 to 0.7102. The variation is unrelated to the degree of alteration. Between the micaceous and basaltic varieties there is some overlap in the Sr isotopic ratios. Leaching experiments on whole rock samples showed more highly radiogenic Sr in leaches compared to the bulk samples.In two diatremes, the initial ${}^{87}\text{Sr}{}^{86}\text{Sr}$ ratios show a positive correlation with $\text{Rb}\text{Sr}$ which is believed to reflect a source event earlier than the formation of the kimberlites. The observed Sr isotopic data can be caused by (i) melting of a heterogeneous source or (ii) disequilibrium partial melting in the source region. In the former case, variable isotopic composition would be a necessary consequence of melting in small subsystems.  相似文献   

Agents of low temperature ocean crust alteration     

Hubert Staudigel  Karlis Muehlenbachs  Stephen H. Richardson  Stanley R. Hart 《Contributions to Mineralogy and Petrology》1981,77(2):150-157

¹⁸O and⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr isotopic data from smectites, calcites, and whole rocks, together with published isotopic age determinations, alkali element concentration data and petrographic observations suggest a sequential model of ocean floor alteration. The early stage lasts about 3 m.y. and is characterized by palagonite and smectite formation, and solutions with a large basaltic component, increasing with temperature which varies from 15° to 80° C at DSDP site 418A. Most carbonates are depositedafter this stage from solutions with a negligible basaltic Sr component and temperatures of 15° to 40° C. Water of seawater Sr and O isotopic composition is shown to percolate to at least 500 m into the basaltic basement. No evidence was found for continuing exchange of strontium or oxygen after 3 m.y.Lamont-Doherty Geological Observatory Contribution number 3199  相似文献   

Alkali differentiation in LL-chondrites     

F Wlotzka  H Palme  B Spettel  H Wänke  K Fredriksson  A.F Noonan 《Geochimica et cosmochimica acta》1983,47(4):743-757

The LL-group chondrites Krähenberg (Krbg) and Bhola are heterogeneous agglomerates containing a variety of lithic fragments and chondrules as well as crystal fragments. The $\text{Fe}\text{Fe}$ + Mg content of most olivine grains is uniform (Fa₂₈), although a few with distinctly lower Fe contents were found (Fa₁₉). Both meteorites contain large, cm-sized, fragments with high enrichments of K (~12×), Rb (~45×) and Cs (~70×) relative to LL-chondrites, while the REE concentrations are normal (except for a negative Eu anomaly); Na and Sr are depleted (~0.5×) and the $\text{Na}\text{K}$ weight ratio is 0.33 compared to 11 in the host. However, there is no difference in the sum of Na + K atoms. Also, the major elements, Si, Al, Mg, Ca and Fe, are nearly the same in fragments as in the host material. The K-rich igneous lithic fragments have a microporphyritic texture of euhedral to skeletal olivines in a partly devitrified glass with ~4% K₂O. The main pans of both Krbg and Bhola contain mesostasis glasses in porphyritic chondrules and lithic fragments with varying K content (0.1–8.6% K₂O) and $\text{Na}\text{K}$ ratios (0.2–100). Crystalline plagioclase is depleted in K with an average $\text{Na}\text{K}$ ratio of 22, i.e. higher than that for ordinary chondritic plagioclase, 8.4. Olivines in the large, K-rich fragments and in the host meteorites have the same iron content (Fa₂₈), indicating that both formed under the same oxygen fugacity and probably on the same parent body.Conceivable mechanisms for the formation of the K-rich rocks from normal LL-chondrite parent material are: 1, magmatic differentiation: 2. Na-K exchange via a vapor phase; 3. silicate liquid immiscibility; 4. volatilization and condensation in impact events. Process 2 appears most feasible for forming a rock enriched only in K and heavier alkalies and depleted in Na without noticeably changing other elements including the REE.  相似文献   

RbSr studies of CI and CM chondrites     

David W Mittlefehldt  George W Wetherill 《Geochimica et cosmochimica acta》1979,43(2):201-206

RbSr whole rock analyses have been performed on 2 CI and 3 CM chondrites. Four of these stones (Ivuna, Orgueil, Cold Bokkeveld and Erakot) were previously studied in this laboratory and were shown to be discordant from a 4.6 Gyr isochron. The fifth, Murchison, was not previously studied. The new data support the discordance of the first four stones, and indicate that Murchison is also discordant. Studies of Sr isotope ratios in unspiked Orgueil show that the discordance is not due to inhomogeneities in the $\text{Sr}{}^{84}\text{Sr}{}^{86}$ ratio caused by incomplete mixing of nucleosynthesis products.In order to gauge the effects of weathering, two leaching experiments were performed on fresh, interior samples of Murchison; one for a period of 1.5 hr and the other for 117 hr. The results indicate that the relative solubility of nonradiogenic Sr is approximately twice that of Rb and radiogenic Sr is more soluble than the nonradiogenic Sr. This gives the residue a lower model age than the whole rock both by increasing the $\text{Rb}\text{Sr}$ ratio and by decreasing the $\text{Sr}{}^{87}\text{Sr}{}^{86}$ ratio. This result is in contrast to that expected from studies of ordinary chondrite finds, which generally show higher model ages than falls. The constancy of $\text{K}\text{Rb}$ and $\text{K}\text{Sr}$ ratios between the two leaching experiments, and their difference from the unaltered whole rock ratios suggest that the bulk ratios are produced by dissolution of a single phase, and the higher radiogenic Sr content by selective leaching of other phases.  相似文献   

Vredefort core: a cross-section of the upper crust?     

W.F Slawson 《Geochimica et cosmochimica acta》1976,40(1):117-121

Sixty-three samples from the granitic core of the Vredefort ring structure have been analyzed for K, Rb, and Sr. The $\text{Sr}{}^{87}\text{Sr}{}^{86}$ ratios were determined for thirteen of these. An isochron yielding an age of 2.85 × 10⁹ yr was obtained. The $\text{Rb}\text{Sr}$ and $\text{K}\text{Rb}$ ratios exhibit a ‘bulls-eye’ pattern in the granite suggesting the central portion has been extruded from depth. Diapiric flow and subsequent erosion has exposed a section of the continental crust within the Vredefort core.  相似文献   

Trace elements and Sr-isotopes in some mantle-derived hydrous minerals and their significance     

Asish R. Basu 《Geochimica et cosmochimica acta》1978,42(6):659-668

New analyses of K, Rb, Sr and Ba contents and the ${}^{87}\text{Sr}{}^{86}\text{Sr}$ ratios of eight amphiboles, one phlogopite, two diopsides and one host alkalic basalt for an amphibole are reported: The samples are mostly inclusions in alkalic basalts and occur in association with peridotite inclusions. Two of the samples are from alpine-type peridotite bodies — one from the Etang de Lhers massif in the French Pyrenees and the other from the Finero massif in the Ivrea zone in northern Italy. The kaersutites come from the following localities: Hoover Dam, Arizona; Deadman Lake, California; Massif Central, France; Queensland; Spring Mountain, New South Wales.The data indicate that kaersutitic amphiboles are genetically unrelated to their host basalts. The isotopic and trace element data of these amphiboles further strengthens the suggestion of BASU and MURTHY (1977) that kaersutites play a significant role in ocean ridge basalt genesis. In addition, pargasitic amphibole with higher ${}^{87}\text{Sr}{}^{86}\text{Sr}$ ratios, if present, may be important in the source regions of alkalic basalts.The bulk amphibole lherzolite from Lherz has the $\text{K}\text{Rb}$ratio and ${}^{87}\text{Sr}{}^{86}\text{Sr}$ ratio appropriate for source material of ridge tholeiites. If the diopside and the amphibole in this rock had isotopically equilibrated under upper mantle conditions, the data show the time of last equilibration to be approximately 735 m.y., in contrast to the young emplacement age of the ultramafic massif.The coexisting phlogopite and diopside in the spinel lherzolite inclusion from Kilbourne Hole, New Mexico, show, surprisingly, isotopic equilibration under upper mantle conditions despite their drastically different $\text{Rb}\text{Sr}$ ratios. The data show that the phlogopite must have formed very recently in the upper mantle. This phlogopite also has a high $\text{K}\text{Rb}$ ratio (1133), contrary to the commonly held view that mantle phlogopites have low $\text{K}\text{Rb}$ ratios. The coexisting diopside shows high K content (778 ppm) and a lower $\text{K}\text{Rb}$ ratio than the phlogopite. This phlogopite lherzolite has trace elemental and isotopic characteristics that may be adequate for the origin of alkalic basalts upon partial melting.  相似文献   

⁸⁷Rb-⁸⁷Sr age of fragments and soils from the lunar sea of fertility     

Jean Louis Birck  Claude J Allegre 《Geochimica et cosmochimica acta》1973,37(9):2025-2031

The Luna 16 materials were dated by the Rb-Sr method.An internal isochron age of 3.4 ± 0.2 has been determined for a 6 mg fragment.The Luna 16 total soil is poorer in radiogenic Sr than any other analyzed soil from the Moon. Apollo 14 and 15 soils have also been studied; all of them fall nearly on a 4.65 b.y. isochron with the ADOR initial ${}^{87}\text{Sr}{}^{86}\text{Sr}$ ratio.A comparison of the integrated $\text{Rb}\text{Sr}$ of the basalt source region and the $\text{Rb}\text{Sr}$ of the rocks suggests that these basaltic fragments have been generated with only minor $\text{Rb}\text{Sr}$ fractionation.The existence of an old Rb-rich subcrust which contaminated the basalts is also in agreement with the present results.  相似文献

A kinetic approach to describe trace-element distribution between particles and solution in natural aquatic systems     

Urs P Nyffeler  Yuan-Hui Li  Peter H Santschi 《Geochimica et cosmochimica acta》1984,48(7):1513-1522

The partitioning of radioactive trace elements between seawater and particulate matter from surface sediments and sediment traps was investigated in laboratory experiments. For the elements Na, Zn, Se, Sr, Cd, Sn, Sb, Cs, Ba, Hg, Th and Pa (group I) constant distribution coefficients (K_d) were found after a few days of equilibration, whereas the elements Be, Mn, Co and Fe (group II) showed an increasing K_d over the whole time of observation of 108 days. The time dependence of K_d is described by an adsorption-desorption equilibrium (group I elements), followed by a lattice transport reaction step (group II elements). The reaction rate constants are compared to Mn oxidation rates and to adsorption rate constants derived from in situ measurements of the $\text{U}\text{Th}$ disequilibrium as available from literature.  相似文献

The formation of high temperature clay minerals from basalt alteration during hydrothermal discharge on the East Pacific Rise axis at 21°N     

《Geochimica et cosmochimica acta》1986,50(9):1933-1939

Aluminous, high-temperature clay minerals form from alteration of tholeiitic basaltic glass and calcic plagioclase during hydrothermal venting on the crest of the East Pacific Rise at 21°N. The clay alteration assemblages are layered crusts (up to 1 mm thick) completely replacing glass and calcic plagioclase adjacent to surfaces exposed to hydrothermal fluids. The interiors of the affected basalt samples have unaltered appearances and oxygen isotopic compositions just slightly heavier than that of MORB. The surficial alteration crusts are mixtures of beidellitic smectite (aluminous, dioctahedral), randomly interstratified mixed-layer Al-rich chlorite/smectite, minor chlorite, an x-ray amorphous aluminosilicate material, and possible minor serpentine (amesite). A δ¹⁸O value of +4.1 ± 0.2%. (SMOW) is determined for the beidellitic smectite. Assuming that this smectite equilibrated with hydrothermal fluid having an oxygen isotope value between that of seawater (0%.) and 350°C hydrothermal fluid from EPR, 21°N vents (+1.6%.), an equilibration temperature between 290°C and 360°C is calculated for the beidellitic smectite. This is substantially higher than any previously reported temperature for an oceanic smectite. The mixed-layer Al-rich chlorite/smectite has a δ¹⁸O value of +3.5%., which corresponds to equilibration at 295°–360°C. The aluminous composition of the alteration assemblage is uncommon for clay minerals produced by submarine hydrothermal basalt alteration. We suggest that this assemblage is largely the product of high-temperature interaction between basalt glass + plagioclase and Mg-poor, acidic hydrothermal fluids, with possibly some contribution of Mg from bottom seawater, and that the aluminous clays either incorporate Al³⁺ remobilized from basalt by lowpH hydrothermal fluids, or are residual phases remaining after intense alteration of basaltic glass + plagioclase.  相似文献

A study of strontium in core 119K,Discovery deep,Red Sea     

M.O.U. Ikpeama  P.D. Boger  G. Faure 《Chemical Geology》1974,13(1):11-22

The isotopic composition of strontium of pore water and of authigenic minerals leached from the sediment of core 119K with hot aqua regia is similar to that of the brine in the Discovery deep and differs from that of normal seawater. The average ${}^{87}\text{Sr}{}^{86}\text{Sr}$ ratio of strontium removed by acid leaching is 0.7077 ± 0.0007 (1σ) compared to a value of 0.70904 for the Red Sea. The detrital silicate fraction exhibits an approximate inverse correlation between ${}^{87}\text{Sr}{}^{86}\text{Sr}$ ratios and strontium concentrations which provides tentative support for a model in which the detrital silicate fraction of deep-sea sediment is considered to be a mixture of terrigenous dust of sialic composition enriched in radiogenic ⁸⁷Sr and of volcanogenic material of basaltic composition and low ⁸⁷Sr abundance. The ${}^{87}\text{Sr}{}^{86}\text{Sr}$ ratios of the shells of foraminifers and pteropods, expressed as δ ⁸⁷Sr‰ relative to 0.70904 for seawater, decrease from $\text{?0.23 ± 0.17‰}$ at 90 cm to $\text{?0.82 ± 0.17‰}$ at 273 cm and remain constant at this value to a depth of 450 cm. The lowering of the δ ⁸⁷Sr values is attributed both to the presence of aragonite overgrowths on pteropod shells and to possible isotope exchange with strontium in the connate fluid.  相似文献   

Kiglapait geochemistry V: Strontium     

S.A Morse 《Geochimica et cosmochimica acta》1982,46(2):223-234

The Kiglapait intrusion contains 330 ppm Sr and has $\text{Sr}\text{Ca}\text{= 5 × 10}{}^{\mathrm{?3}}$ and $\text{Rb}\text{Sr}\text{= 3 × 10}{}^{\mathrm{?3}}$, as determined by summation over the Layered Group of the intrusion. Wholerocks in the Lower Zone contain 403 F_L^0.141 ppm Sr, where F_L is the fraction of liquid remaining; Sr drops to 180 ppm at the peak of augite production (F_L = 0.11) and rises to a maximum of 430 ppm in the Upper Zone before decreasing to 172 ppm at the end of crystallization. Feldspars in the Lower Zone contain 532 F_L^0.090 ppm Sr, increasing to 680 ppm in the Upper Zone before decreasing to 310 ppm at the end. Clinopyroxenes contain 15 to 30 ppm Sr and have a mineral-melt distribution coefficient D = 0.06 except near the top of the intrusion where D = 0.10.The calculated feldspar-liquid distribution coefficient has an average value near 1.75 but shows four distinct trends when plotted against X_An of feldspar. The first two of these are strongly correlated with the modal augite content of the liquid, on average by the relation D = 1.4 + 0.02 Aug^L. The third (decreasing) trend is due to co-crystallization of apatite, and the fourth (increasing) trend can best be attributed to a triclinic-monoclinic symmetry change in the feldspar at An₂₆, 1030°C. The compound feldspar-liquid distribution coefficient K_D for $\text{Sr}\text{Ca}$ bears out these deductions in detail and yields ΔG_r for the Sr-Ca exchange ranging from nearly zero at the base of the Lower Zone to ?26 kJ/gramatom at the end of crystallization. The compound feldspar-liquid distribution coefficient K_D for $\text{Rb}\text{Sr}$ varies from 0.3 in the Lower Zone to 1.1 at the end of crystallization.The ratio $\text{Ca}{}^{\mathrm{F}}\text{Ca}{}^{\mathrm{L}}$ is about 1.45 for troctolitic liquids containing 5% augite, for which K_D (Sr-Ca) = 1.0 and D_Ca = D_Sr. For common basaltic liquids containing 20% augite, the Kiglapait data predict $\text{solSr}{}^{\mathrm{F}}\text{Sr}{}^{\mathrm{L}}\text{= 1.8}$, as commonly found elsewhere. The strong dependence of D_sr on augite content of the liquid illuminates the role of liquid composition and structure in determining the feldspar-liquid distribution coefficient. Conversely, a discontinuous change in the trend of D_Sr when apatite arrives shows that the effect is due to apatite crystallization itself, not to the continuous variation of the liquid as it becomes enriched in apatite component.  相似文献   

The rare alkalies in hydrothermal alteration at Wairakei and Broadlands,geothermal fields,N.Z.     

Reiner Goguel 《Geochimica et cosmochimica acta》1983,47(3):429-437

Drillcores and waters from Wairakei and Broadlands geothermal areas New Zealand have been analyzed for Li, Rb, Cs, Na, K, Mg, Ca, Al, Ti, Mn, and Be. The drillcores were altered to various degrees at temperatures below 300°C in slightly alkaline chloride water, probably derived from rock-water interaction in untapped horizons at higher temperature. It changes its composition as it leaches Ca and Na from the rock and adds K, Rb, Cs and Li. Evaluation of these changes in relation to the dimensions of the altered zone under observation suggests that a high mass ratio of water to rock (e.g., 100) and a period of up to 1 million years are responsible for the present stage of alteration.Increase of K and Rb in the altered rocks is a result of the formation of abundant adularia in addition to illite. The $\text{K}\text{Rb}$ ratio of the rock decreases during alteration but remains higher than that of the fluid. Only clay materials and zeolites that preferentially absorb Rb give slightly lower $\text{K}\text{Rb}$ ratios than the fluid.The mineral phases responsible for the uptake of lithium during alteration are chlorite (300 ppm Li) and quartz (up to 430 ppm Li). Li uptake in quartz is considered to be the mechanism by which Al-rich quartz crystallises from alumino-silicates. $\text{Li}\text{Al}$ atomic ratios of 0.3–0.57 and Al concentrations up to 3000 ppm have been observed.Relatively small concentrations of Cs are found in potassic minerals (e.g. 10 ppm Cs in adularia, 44 ppm Cs in illite). However, 240 ppm Cs are found in wairakite from Wairakei equilibrated at 235°C. Lower equilibration temperatures may lead to higher cesium concentrations. This effect, in conjunction with a more concentrated hydrothermal fluid, could explain a content of 4500 ppm Cs in wairakite extracted from a drillcore taken in the El-Tatio geothermal field in Chile.  相似文献   

The use of major elemental ratios in detailed geochemical prospecting utilizing primary halos     

R.W. Boyle 《Journal of Geochemical Exploration》1974,3(4):345-369

The behaviour of the ratios K₂O/Na₂O, SiO₂/CO₂, and $\text{SiO}{}_2\text{H}{}_2\text{O}\text{+ CO}{}_2\text{+ S}$ in the alteration envelopes of a variety of epigenetic deposits is documented. It is concluded that the ratio K₂O/Na₂O is the most suitable for estimating proximity to ore during exploration drilling programs. The other two ratios are useful in indicating proximity to ore only under certain geological conditions. Before the use of ratios is contemplated in detailed exploration programs within a given mineral belt orientation studies should be carried out to determine the trend of the ratios with proximity to mineralization.  相似文献   

Strontium isotope variations in lower tertiary-quaternary volcanic rocks from the Kurile island arc     

J. C. Bailey  O. Larsen  T. I. Frolova 《Contributions to Mineralogy and Petrology》1987,95(2):155-165

Average ⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr ratios for lavas from Quaternary and Pleistocene volcanoes of the Kurile island arc, NW Pacific, decrease from 0.7035 in the south to 0.7032 in the north. The northern Kuriles are characterised by K₂Oricher volcanics and by an older crust. Varying ratios show no simple relation to crustal thickness or geochemical indicators of crustal contamination. This is thought to reflect the immature character of the crust — its simatic composition, low Rb/Sr ratios and youthfulness. Older lavas from the Kuriles (Lower Tertiary, Miocene) have similar or slightly higher ⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr ratios; some have suffered slight alteration and possibly crustal contamination. Quaternary volcanics from the Kurile and Aleutian arcs have the lowest ⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr ratios of all circum-Pacific arcs and this may be ascribed to (a) the isotopic individuality of the landward North American plate and/or (b) the high degree of mechanical coupling between the Pacific and North American plates reducing the amount of subducted ⁸⁷Sr-rich sediments and seawater. An isotopic boundary between island arcs is located in central Hokkaido. The primary basaltic magmas of the Kuriles were derived from mantle recently contaminated by radiogenic Sr. Subsequent fractionation to andesites and dacites occurred by closed-system fractional crystallization.  相似文献   

Acid-sulphate Type Alteration and Mineralization in the Desmos Caldera, Manus Back-arc Basin, Papua New Guinea     

Kaul Gena    Toshio Mizuta    Daizo Ishiyama  Tetsuro Urabe 《Resource Geology》2001,51(1):31-44

Abstract: The Onsen acid‐sulphate type of mineralization is located in the Desmos caldera, Manus back‐arc basin. Hydrothermal precipitates, fresh and altered basaltic andesite collected from the Desmos caldera were studied to determine mineralization and mobility of elements under seawater dominated condition of hydrothermal alteration. The mineralization is characterized by three stages of advanced argillic alteration. Alteration stage I is characterized by coarse subhedral pyrophyllite with disseminated anhedral pyrite and enargite which were formed in the temperature range of 260–340°C. Alteration stage II which overprinted alteration stage I was formed in the temperature range of 270–310°C and is characterized by euhedral pyrite, quartz, natroalunite, cristobalite and mixed layer minerals of smectite and mica with 14–15 Å XRD peak. Alteration stage III is characterized by amorphous silica, native sulphur, covellite, marcasite and euhedral pyrite, which has overprinted alteration stages I and II. Relative to the fresh basaltic andesite samples, the rims and cores of the partly altered basaltic andesite samples have very low major, minor and rare earth elements content except for SiO₂ which is much higher (58–78 wt%) than SiO₂ content of the fresh basaltic andesite (55 wt%). REE patterns of the partly altered basaltic andesite specimens are variably depleted in LREE and have pronounced negative Eu anomalies. Normalization of major, minor and REE content of the partly altered basaltic andesites to the fresh basaltic andesite indicates that all the elements except for SiO2 in the partly altered basaltic andesite are strongly lost (e.g. Al₂O₃ = ‐8.3 to ‐10.9 g/100cm³, Ba = ‐2.2 to ‐5.6 mg/100cm³, La = ‐130 to ‐200 μg/100cm³) during the alteration process. Abnormal depletion of MgO, total Fe as Fe₂O₃, LREE especially Eu and enrichment of SiO₂ in the altered basaltic andesites from the Desmos caldera seafloor is caused by interaction of hot acidic hydrothermal fluid, which originates from a mixing of magmatic fluid and seawater.  相似文献   

Concentrations,sources, and losses of H₂O,CO₂, and S in Kilauean basalt     

David M Harris  Alfred T Anderson 《Geochimica et cosmochimica acta》1983,47(6):1139-1150

Basaltic glasses included in olivine phenocrysts from Kilauea volcano contain concentrations of H₂O, CO₂, and S similar to glassy Kilauean basalt dredged from the deep sea floor and greater than vesicular, subaerial Kilauean basalt. Our result contrasts with earlier reports that inclusions of basaltic glass in phenocrysts have little or no H₂O and large ratios of $\text{CO}{}_2\text{H}{}_2\text{O}$. Our analysed inclusions of glass are larger than 100 micrometers thick and similar in chemical composition to the host glass surrounding the olivine crystals indicating that the trapped melts are representative of the bulk liquid from which the crystals grew. Crystallization of about 2–8% of olivine from the melts after they were trapped is indicated by slight departures from the experimentally established equilibrium distribution of Mg and Fe between olivine and liquid. The measured concentrations of CO₂ correspond to phenocryst crystallization pressures of about 1.3 kbar for a subaerial basalt and about 5 kbar for a submarine basalt, consistent with geophysical models of Kilauea volcano. The compositions of volcanic gas predicted from our analyses are consistent with restored compositions of actual Kilauean gases. The rate of sulfur emission predicted from our analyses is greater than the sulfur dioxide emission rate observed during repose, but probably consistent with total degassing including eruptive episodes. The concentrations of H₂O, K₂O, Cl, and P in parental Kilauean basalt can be derived from upper mantle phlogopitic mica, pargasitic amphibole and apatite with compositions close to those of natural primary minerals in ultramafic xenoliths from continental kimberlites, or solely from apatite and phlogopitic mica with $\text{H}{}_2\text{O}\text{K}{}_2\text{O}$ near 0.47 ± 0.03, slightly higher than the range of values reported. The amounts of phlogopitic mica and pargasitic amphibole contributing volatiles to Kilauean tholeiite is about 10 percent by mass of the parental liquid, or about 5% if the source does not include amphibole. In view of an estimated 20% of partial melting of mantle source rock to produce Kilauean tholeiites, there may be about 2 weight percent of mica plus amphibole in part of the mantle beneath Kilauea, or about 1 weight percent of phlogopitic mica if amphibole is absent.  相似文献
