Neodymium isotopic composition of Quaternary island arc lavas from Indonesia     

David J Whitford  William M White  Peter A Jezek 《Geochimica et cosmochimica acta》1981,45(6):989-995

${}^{143}\text{Nd}{}^{144}\text{Nd}$ ratios measured in Quaternary lavas from Java and the Banda arc of Indonesia range from 0.51242 to 0.51280 and exhibit an inverse correlation with ${}^{87}\text{Sr}{}^{86}\text{Sr}$. Isotopically, the Indonesian samples resemble Andean rather than island arc lavas. The samples from Java plot either within, or adjacent to the mantle array, towards higher ${}^{87}\text{Sr}{}^{86}\text{Sr}$ ratios. Samples from the Banda arc and the anomalous calc-alkaline volcano Papandajan are characterized by relatively low ${}^{143}\text{Nd}{}^{144}\text{Nd}$ and high ${}^{87}\text{Sr}{}^{86}\text{Sr}$ ratios. These characteristics are consistent with the interpretation that subducted terrigenous material was involved in the genesis of these lavas. Furthermore the Banda arc samples appear to lie on a mixing line between isotopic compositions characteristic of the mantle and upper continental crust. A high-K trachyte from the alkaline volcano Muriah, Java, has isotopic characteristics of the mantle (${}^{143}\text{Nd}{}^{144}\text{Nd}\text{= 0.51270}$, ${}^{87}\text{Sr}{}^{86}\text{Sr}\text{= 0.70424}$), which implies that the extreme enrichment in large-ion-lithophile elements in its source must have occurred only shortly before its formation. The inferred ${}^{143}\text{Nd}{}^{144}\text{Nd}$ ratio of the unmodified mantle beneath Java and the Banda arc is lower than that observed in mid-ocean ridge basalt, which may have important implications for a better understanding of the geochemical structure of the mantle.  相似文献   

Sr and Nd isotopic evidence for petrogenesis of mid-tertiary felsic volcanism in the mineral district of Zacatecas,Zac. (Sierra Madre Occidental), Mexico     

Surendra P. Verma 《Chemical Geology》1984,46(1):37-53

Twelve samples of mid-Tertiary felsic volcanic rocks from Zacatecas and San Luis Potosí (both belonging to the Sierra Madre Occidental) and one sample of Lower Tertiary porphyritic andesite from Zacatecas are analyzed for ${}^{87}\text{Sr}{}^{86}\text{Sr}$, K, Rb, and Sr. Eight selected samples are also analyzed for ${}^{143}\text{Nd}{}^{144}\text{Nd}$. A linear regression of the present-day ${}^{87}\text{Sr}{}^{86}\text{Sr}\text{and}{}^{87}\text{Rb}{}^{86}\text{Sr}$ of the felsic volcanic rocks in Zacatecas gives an approximate date of 30 ± 8 Ma. The initial ${}^{87}\text{Sr}{}^{86}\text{Sr}$ ratios are high and widely distributed (from 0.705 to 0.712 or higher) whereas the initial ${}^{143}\text{Nd}{}^{144}\text{Nd}$ ratios are somewhat low and show a narrow range (0.5125–0.5127). The available isotopic and trace-element data are best explained in terms of a binary mixing model in which the magmas derived from a slightly depleted-mantle fractionate and mix with varying proportions of the overlying middle/upper continental crust and undergo further shallow-level fractional crystallization before eruption. This model is also compatible with the trace-element and Sr isotopic data published from other areas of the Sierra Madre Occidental for which a purely mantle origin has been proposed.  相似文献   

Columbia River volcanism: the question of mantle heterogeneity or crustal contamination     

R.W Carlson  G.W Lugmair  J.D Macdougall 《Geochimica et cosmochimica acta》1981,45(12):2483-2499

Basalts from the Columbia River flood basalt province of the northwestern U.S.A. show a large diversity in chemical and Nd and Sr isotopic compositions. ${}^{143}\text{Nd}{}^{144}\text{Nd}$ ranges from 0.51303 to 0.51208 and is strongly correlated with variations in ${}^{87}\text{Sr}{}^{86}\text{Sr}$. This correlation suggests mixing between two end member compositions, one characterized by ${}^{143}\text{Nd}{}^{144}\text{Nd}\text{> 0.51303}$ and ${}^{87}\text{Sr}{}^{86}\text{Sr}\text{< 0.7035}$, and the other with ${}^{143}\text{Nd}{}^{144}\text{Nd}\text{< 0.5120}$ and ${}^{87}\text{Sr}{}^{86}\text{Sr}\text{> 0.715}$. The more radiogenic component could be mantle enriched in incompatible elements during the Precambrian, or Precambrian materials of the continental crust. A quartz-rich xenolith found in the Columbia lavas has Rb-Sr and Sm Nd model ages of ≈ 1.4Æ, implying the existence of old, isotopically evolved crustal basement which could serve as contaminant. Nevertheless, crustal contamination alone cannot explain the chemical variation of the samples studied, and other fractionation processes must have occurred simultaneously. A model involving combined assimilation and crystal fractionation reproduces the chemical and isotopic characteristics of the volumetrically dominant Grande Ronde unit for an assumed crystallizing component of plagioclase, low calcium pyroxene and minor olivine. The data are not consistent with the suggestion that a ‘primordial’ mantle is the source for this continental flood basalt province. Rather they suggest that the main volume of these lavas was originally derived from a mantle similar in isotopic composition to island arc and ocean island basalts of the north Pacific. The primary magma was modified chemically and isotopically by crystal fractionation and assimilation of sialic crustal materials during its transport through, or storage in the continental crust.  相似文献   

Chemical and isotopic evidence for mixing between depleted and enriched mantle,northwestern U.S.A.     

William K. Hart 《Geochimica et cosmochimica acta》1985,49(1):131-144

Combined elemental and Sr, Nd, Pb and O isotopic data for late Cenozoic olivine tholeiite lavas from the northwestern Great Basin indicate derivation from at least two chemically and isotopically distinct mantle source regions with no significant modification by interaction with continental crust. The lack of crustal involvement is a direct reflection of the extensional tectonic environment which favors rapid ascent of magmas, minimal residence time in crustal magma chambers and scattered fissure eruptions.The observed chemical and isotopic variations in the tholeiite suite are attributed to mixing between depleted oceanic type mantle (${}^{87}\text{Sr}{}^{86}\text{Sr}\text{~ 0.7030}$ and ${}^{143}\text{Nd}{}^{144}\text{Nd}\text{~ 0.51305}$) and old, chemically heterogeneous, isotopically enriched subcontinental mantle (${}^{87}\text{Sr}{}^{86}\text{Sr}\text{~ 0.7078}$ and ${}^{143}\text{Nd}{}^{144}\text{Nd}\text{~ 0.51233}$). Model incompatible element concentrations suggest strong similarities between the depleted mantle and the mantles beneath normal oceanic ridge segments and back-arc basins and between the enriched mantle and the mantle beneath enriched oceanic ridge segments such as the Azores. Superimposed upon the characteristics derived from the two component mixing model may be the effects of a third mantle source which is identifiable only by its apparent radiogenic ${}^{206}\text{Pb}{}^{204}\text{Pb}$ ratios. If present, this third source may reflect a component derived from the downgoing slab of an ancient subduction zone.  相似文献

Rb—Sr and Sm—Nd geochronology of lower Proterozoic granite—greenstone terrains in French Guiana,South America     

Gerard Gruau  Herve Martin  Bernard Leveque  Raymond Capdevila  Alain Marot 《Precambrian Research》1985,30(1):63-80

Nine samples of metavolcanic rock from the lower parts of greenstone belts in central French Guiana (the Paramaca series) and 14 granitic samples from the intrusive gneisses (the Degrad Roche and Arawa gneisses) were selected for Sm—Nd and Rb—Sr analysis.The Sm—Nd results from the metavolcanic series (including two tholeiites, five peridotitic komatiites and two andesites) yield an isochron age of 2.11±0.09 (2 σ) Ga with an initial ${}^{143}\text{Nd}{}^{144}\text{Nd}$ ratio (I_Nd) of 0.51002±9 (2 σ), corresponding to ?_Nd(T) = + 2.1 ± 1.8. This isochron is interpreted as representing the age of initial volcanism of the Paramaca series. Acid intrusives were dated by the Rb—Sr method. A whole rock Rb—Sr isochron, including data points from both the Degrad Roche and Arawa gneisses, yields an age of 2.00±0.07 (2 σ) Ga with initial ${}^{87}\text{Sr}{}^{86}\text{Sr}$ ratio (I_Sr value) of 0.7019±4 (2 σ). This result is considered to be the time of emplacement of the orthogneiss protoliths.The positive ε_Nd value (+ 2.1 ± 1.8) obtained from the metavolcanic rocks of French Guiana suggests that their mantle sources have evolved in reservoirs slightly depleted in Light Rare Earth Elements (LREE). This result confirms the possible existence of ancient LREE-depleted reservoirs within the lower Proterozoic mantle. Moreover, the high ε_Nd(T) value for these rocks excludes any significant crustal contamination during magma genesis.The French Guianese orthogneisses yield a low I_Sr value (0.7019±4 (2 σ)) which, together with geochemical considerations, suggests that their granitic protoliths could have originated by partial melting of short-lived crustal precursors of basaltic to granodioritic composition.The present geochronological and isotopic study suggests that the Guiana Shield may represent a major continental accretion event during the lower Proterozoic.  相似文献   

The nature and origin of geochemical variation in Mid-Atlantic Ridge basalts from the Central North Atlantic     

William M. White  Jean-Guy Schilling 《Geochimica et cosmochimica acta》1978,42(10):1501-1516

Seventy-two basalts from 58 dredge stations located along the Mid-Atlantic Ridge from 29°N to 59°N have been analyzed for ${}^{87}\text{Sr}{}^{86}\text{Sr}$ and for K, Rb, Cc, Sr and Ba. The Sr-isotope profile along the ridge has three distinct maxima, one coinciding with the Azores platform (0.70345), one at 45°N (0.70340) and the third at 35°N, in the vicinity of the Oceanographer Fracture Zone. Basalts from ridge segments between 29°N and 33°N, and 49°N and 59°N have ${}^{87}\text{Sr}{}^{86}\text{Sr}$ ratios typical of ‘normal’ mid-ocean ridge basalts (0.70230–0.70280). Profiles of K, Rb, Cs, Sr, Bz, Rb/Sr and Ba/Sr are similar to the ${}^{87}\text{Sr}{}^{86}\text{Sr}$ profile, but Rb/K, Cs/K and Ba/K show broad maxima between 35°N and 45°N.These variations result from chemical and isotopic heterogeneity in the mantle, and are interpreted as caused by a mantle plume beneath the Azores which mixes with the LIL-element-depleted asthenosphere. Additional plumes may exist beneath 45°N and 35°N.Compared to the LIL-element-depleted asthenosphere, the Azores mantle plume is 10 to 30 times enriched in LIL elements with very small (? 0.1) bulk crystal/melt partition coefficients (Rb, Cs, Ba, La). Mildly incompatible elements (0.1 < D < 1) (Sr, Sm, Yb) are only 0.8–3 times enriched. These, observations suggest that LIL element differences between these two mantle reservoirs resulted from processes involving solid-liquid equilibria and not vapor-solid or vapor-liquid equilibria. Isotope systematics indicate that neither mantle reservoir remained a closed system since the formation of the Earth, but it is not possible to determine the time at which heterogeneity first developed.  相似文献   

87Sr86Sr in Late Proterozoic carbonates: evidence for a “mantle” event at ∼900 Ma ago     

Ján Veizer  William Compston  Norbert Clauer  Manfred Schidlowski 《Geochimica et cosmochimica acta》1983,47(2):295-302

Strontium isotopic measurements were made on Late Proterozoic carbonates from West African Craton. Comparison of samples with acceptable trace element patterns with coeval data from southern Africa and with the published Australian results suggests that the ${}^{87}\text{Sr}{}^{86}\text{Sr}$ ratio of the Late Proterozoic sea water evolved in the following manner about 0.7075 at 1000 ± 50 Ma, 0.7056 to 0.7074 at 900 ± 50 Ma, 0.7068 to 0.7091(0.7106) at 800 ± 50 Ma, 0.7074 to 0.7077 at 700 ± 50 Ma, and 0.7076 to 0.7089(0.7096) at 600 ± 50 Ma ago. The variations are comparable in magnitude and frequency to those described previously for the Phanerozoic. Strontium isotopic values in the radiogenic part of this range suggest that the continental river flux of Sr into Late Proterozoic oceans was of comparable isotopic composition to its present day counterpart (～0.711). Consequently, the non-radiogenic ${}^{87}\text{Sr}{}^{86}\text{Sr}$ value at ～900 ± 50 Ma ago signifies a large flux of “mantle” strontium into the ocean at this time. Because the present time resolution is only about 75 ± 25Ma, additional sampling as well as better stratigraphie resolution and more definite selection criteria are required for construction of a more detailed Late Proterozoic sea water curve.  相似文献   

Sr and Nd isotope geochronology,geologic history,and origin of the Adirondack Anorthosite     

Lewis D Ashwal  Joseph L Wooden 《Geochimica et cosmochimica acta》1983,47(11):1875-1885

We have analyzed samples from the Adirondack Marcy massif for Rb-Sr and Sm-Nd isotopes in an attempt to determine directly the primary crystallization age of a Proterozoic massif-type anorthosite rock suite. The oldest age obtained (1288 ± 36Ma) is from a 4 point Sm-Nd isochron defined by igneous-textured whole-rock and mineral separate data from a local layered sequence gradational from oxiderich pyroxenite to leuconorite. This age is older than Silver's (1969) 1113 Ma zircon age of associated charnockites, but is within the window of permissible anorthosite ages based on previous geochronology and field relationships. As such, 1288 Ma may represent the time of crystallization of the massif. For the most part, however, both Sm-Nd and Rb-Sr isotopic systems did not survive granulite facies metamorphism. Internal isochrons based on whole rocks and minerals yield ages between 995 and 919 Ma. These isotopic data suggest that the granulite fades metamorphism experienced by the massif was a prograde event that occurred a minimum of 100 Ma and as much as 350 Ma after crystallization of the massif. The relatively large range in Rb abundance, and in calculated initial ${}^{87}\text{Sr}{}^{86}\text{Sr}$ (0.7039–0.7050) and ${}^{143}\text{Nd}{}^{144}\text{Nd}$ ratios among anorthosite suite rocks, particularly those at or near the contacts of the Marcy massif is explicable by variable contamination with “crustal” materials and/or fluids, derived from surrounding acidic metaplutonic rocks, paragneisses, and marbles. Despite uncertainies caused by crustal contamination and metamorphic resetting of primary ages, Marcy samples have epsilon Nd values between +0.44 and +5.08, implying a source for the massif with long-term depletion in light rare earth elements. A probable source material would be depleted mantle.  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   

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   

Isotopic and geochemical systematics in Tertiary-Recent basalts from southeastern Australia and implications for the evolution of the sub-continental lithosphere     

W.F McDonough  M.T McCulloch  S.S Sun 《Geochimica et cosmochimica acta》1985,49(10):2051-2067

Tertiary-Recent Tasmanian and Newer (Victoria/South Australia) basalts range from quartz tholeiite to olivine melilitite and show systematic increases in their incompatible element abundances with increasing degree of silica undersaturation. These two basalt provinces show similar relative abundances of rare earth elements (REE), differences in the relative concentrations of Rb, Ba, Th, K and Nb, and distinct, restricted isotopic compositions. The Tasmanian basalts have ${}^{87}\text{Sr}{}^{86}\text{Sr}$ from 0.7026 to 0.7034, and ?_Nd from + 7.5 to + 5.8; the Newer basalts have higher ${}^{87}\text{Sr}{}^{86}\text{Sr}$ from 0.7038 to 0.7045, and lower ?_Nd from +4.2 to + 1.7. The range in Sr and Nd isotope compositions can be denned by primary magma compositions for both provinces, using Mg-values, Ni content and the presence of spinel lherzolite nodules. Major and trace element and Sr, Nd and Pb isotope compositions are uniform on a scale of up to 50 km for four separate Newer basanite centers. The chemical and isotopic data are consistent with a model whereby tholeiitic basalts are derived by large degrees of partial melting from a chemically uniform but isotopically variable source, and generation of undersaturated, alkaline basalts by smaller degrees of partial melting of the same source. No isotopic or geochemical evidence was found which would suggest that the more evolved basalts have been contaminated by continental crust.In contrast to tholeiitic and alkalic basalts from Hawaii, there is a continuous spectrum of isotope compositions for the Newer tholeiitic to alkalic basalts. A model is proposed for the generation of these basalts involving mixtures of hotspot mantle plume-derived melt and lithospheric mantle-derived melt, where observed differences between ocean island and continental alkaline basalts are attributed to differences between the sub-oceanic and sub-continental lithospheric mantles. Isotopic differences between tholeiitic and alkalic basalts are interpreted to be due to varying degrees of exchange and mixing between the hotspot plume and lithospheric mantle melt components. The model is consistent with the generation of these basalts from a source which has been recently enriched in the LREE.  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   

Composition isotopique du strontium d'eaux interstitielles extraites de sédiments récents: un argument en faveur de l'homogénéisation isotopique des minéraux argileux     

Norbert Clauer  Michel Hoffert  Daniel Grimaud  Georges Millot 《Geochimica et cosmochimica acta》1975,39(11):1579-1582

The ${}^{87}\text{Sr}{}^{86}\text{Sr}$ ratio of interstitial waters squeezed from recent sediments of the Pacific Ocean increases from 0.70920 ± 0.00017 (2σ) to 0.70960 ± 0.0023 and 0.70984 ± 0.00040 at 1.50 and 1.60 m depth—reference value for sea water: 0.70910 ± 0.00035. This variation underlines the likely existence of exchanges between the clays and the interstitial environment. The isotopic homogenization of strontium between the clays and their environment, result of these changes, becomes thus a credible phenomenon. This is a new argument for the dating of clays by the $\text{Rb}\text{Sr}$ method.  相似文献   

Isotopic and incompatible element constraints on the genesis of island arc volcanics from Cold Bay and Amak Island,Aleutians, and implications for mantle structure     

J.D Morris  S.R Hart 《Geochimica et cosmochimica acta》1983,47(11):2015-2030

Cold Bay and Amak Island, two Quaternary volcanic centers in the eastern Aleutians, are orthogonal relative to the trench and separated by ~50 km. Sr, Nd and Pb isotopic compositions of the calc-alkaline andesite magmas show no sign of contamination from continental crust (average ${}^{87}\text{Sr}{}^{86}\text{Sr}\text{= 0.70323}$, ${}^{143}\text{Nd}{}^{144}\text{Nd}\text{= 0.51301}$, ${}^{206}\text{Pb}{}^{204}\text{Pb}\text{= 18.82}$, ${}^{207}\text{Pb}{}^{204}\text{Pb}\text{= 15.571}$). These samples plot within the mantle arrays for Sr-Nd and for Pb and are similar to arcs such as the Marianas and New Britain (Sr-Nd) and Marianas and Tonga (Pb). Incompatible element ratios for the Aleutian andesites (K/Rb ~ 332, K/Cs ~ 10,600, K/Sr ~ 22.4, K/Ba ~ 18.3, Ba/La ~ 60) are within the range reported for arc basalts, despite the difference in degree of fractionation.Average K content, K/Rb, K/Ba and K/Sr are approximately the same for basalts from arcs and from oceanic islands (OIB); K/Cs is a factor of 4 lower and Ba/La almost 3 times higher in arcs. Abundance ratio correlations indicate that arcs are enriched in Cs and depleted in La relative to OIB, with other incompatible element abundances very similar. Histograms of Sr and Nd isotopic compositions for MORB, OIB, and intraoceanic arcs show remarkably similar peaks and distribution patterns for intraoceanic arcs and OIB.A “plum pudding” model for the upper mantle best accommodates a) geochemical coherence of OIB and IAV, b) the existence of mantle plumes at some oceanic islands, and c) the presence of a MORB-type source at back arc spreading centers. In this model, OIB plums are imbedded in a MORB matrix; small degrees of melting generate OIB-type magmas while larger degrees of melting dilute the OIB magma with MORB matrix melts.OIB plums are merely less robust lower mantle plumes (i.e., blobs) which are distributed throughout the upper mantle by convection. The existence of at least two types of OIB, as indicated by Sr, Nd, and Pb isotopes, suggests that nuggets of recycled oceanic lithosphère may coexist with lower-mantle plums and that both may be tapped in arcs and intraplate environments.  相似文献   

Chemical characteristics of island-arc basalts: Implications for mantle sources   总被引：3，自引：0，他引：3  

M.R. Perfit  D.A. Gust  A.E. Bence  R.J. Arculus  S.R. Taylor 《Chemical Geology》1980,30(3):227-256

Major-element, trace-element and isotopic compositions of approximately 1200 basalts (< 53 wt. % SiO₂) from intra-oceanic island arcs have been compiled to assess the nature and possible sources of primitive island-arc basalts (IAB). The chemical characteristics of IAB are examined with reference to those of mid-ocean ridge basalts (MORB) and intraplate oceanic basalts (IPB). Major-element compositions of primitive [$\text{Mg}\text{(}\text{Mg +Fe}{}^{\mathrm{2+}}\text{)}\text{> 65}$] IAB and MORB are similar, but differ significantly from IPB. In general, IAB do not have higher Al₂O₃, lower TiO₂ or a lack of Fe enrichment compared to primitive MORB but many do have greater K₂O contents. Differences in major- and minor-element contents between more evolved IAB and MORB result from the dominance of plagioclase + olivine crystal fractionation in MORB magmas vs. clinopyroxene + olivine controlled fractionation in IAB suites. This difference in crystallization history may be related to the higher P_H2O or greater depth of crystallization of IAB magmas compared to those inferred for MORB.IAB are characteristically enriched in large-ion-lithophile (LIL) elements and depleted in high-field-strength ions (e.g., Zr, Nb and Hf) relative to normal MORB (N-type) and IPB. The enrichment of some LIL elements (e.g., Sr, Rb, Ba and Pb) relative to the rare-earth elements in IAB is difficult to explain by simple partial melting alone and suggests a multistage petrogenesis involving an LIL-enriched component. Low abundances of high-field-strength ions in evolved IAB are explicable in terms of fractional crystallization, but the cause for consistently low abundances in primitive IAB remains problematic.Island-arc lavas contain greater concentrations of volatiles and have higher $\text{CO}{}_2\text{H}{}_2\text{O}$ and Cl/F ratios than either MORB or IPB, suggesting involvement of a slab-derived volatile component. However, this is not consistent with ${}^3\text{He}{}^4\text{He}$ data which indicate that only near-trench volcanics have been significantly affected by dehydration of the oceanic crust.Sr-, Nd-, Pb- and O-isotopic data, in conjunction with the trace-element data, clearly indicate that IAB are derived from heterogeneous, LIL-depleted mantle sources most similar to those which give rise to enriched MORB (E-type). The marked shift towards higher ${}^{87}\text{Sr}{}^{86}\text{Sr}$ in IAB compared to oceanic lavas with similar ${}^{143}\text{Nd}{}^{144}\text{Nd}$ values cannot be explained simply by the addition of radiogenic Sr from the slab. Variable degrees of contamination from a crustally-derived sedimentary component is consistent with the isotopic and trace-element data from a number of arcs. However, the lack of correlation between LIL/REE ratios and more radiogenic isotopic ratios suggests that this enrichment/contamination process is complex. A multi-stage petrogenetic model involving subducted oceanic crust (± sediments), dehydration/volatile transfer, and partial melting of metasomatized mantle beneath island arcs is considered the most reasonable, although least constrained, method to generate a variety of primitive IAB.  相似文献   

Strontium isotopic studies of the volcanic rocks of the Saunda arc,Indonesia, and their petrogenetic implications     

D.J Whitford 《Geochimica et cosmochimica acta》1975,39(9):1287-1302

Pleistocene and Recent lavas from the Sunda arc range from those showing affinities with the island arc tholeiitic series, through a spectrum of calc-alkaline to high-K alkaline rocks. The tholeiitic rocks have relatively low ${}^{87}\text{Sr}{}^{86}\text{Sr}$ ratios averaging 0–7043; the calc-alkaline rocks show a wide range (from 0.7038 to 0.7059, averaging 0.7048); the high-K alkaline rocks average 0.7045. A rhyolitic ignimbrite from Sumatra has an ${}^{87}\text{Sr}{}^{86}\text{Sr}$ ratio of 0.7139.The relationship between ${}^{87}\text{Sr}{}^{86}\text{Sr}$ and major and trace element geochemistry is variable and complex. Lavas from the same volcano sometimes show significant differences in ${}^{87}\text{Sr}{}^{86}\text{Sr}$ despite close geochemical relationships. Rocks of the calc-alkaline suite show a regular decrease in ${}^{87}\text{Sr}{}^{86}\text{Sr}$ from West Java to Bali and there is some evidence for increasing ${}^{87}\text{Sr}{}^{86}\text{Sr}$ with increasing depth to the Benioff zone. Calc-alkaline and tholeiitic rocks from the Sunda arc have significantly higher ${}^{87}\text{Sr}{}^{86}\text{Sr}$ ratios than those from other island arcs, except from those arcs where continental crustal involvement has been inferred (e.g. New Zealand).A model of ⁸⁷Sr enrichment due to isotopic equilibration of oceanic crust with sea water and disequilibrium melting in the slab and/or mantle is favoured to explain the Sr isotopic composition of the tholeiitic and normal calc-alkaline lavas. Calc-alkaline lavas with high ${}^{87}\text{Sr}{}^{86}\text{Sr}$ ratios are best explained by either sialic contamination, or the presence of alkali basalt as a component of the downgoing slab. The Sr isotopic data for the high-K alkaline lavas suggest a mantle origin. The high ${}^{87}\text{Sr}{}^{86}\text{Sr}$ ratio in the Lake Toba rhyolite implies a crustal origin.  相似文献

⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr composition of seawater during the Phanerozoic

${}^{87}\text{Sr}{}^{86}\text{Sr}$ measurements of 108 sedimentary carbonate rocks have been used to trace variations in the strontium isotopic composition of seawater during the Phanerozoic. The lowest ⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr observed for any suite of carbonates is taken as the best approximation to the value in well-mixed contemporary seawater. Our data support the existence of low ${}^{87}\text{Sr}{}^{86}\text{Sr}$ in the Cretaceous and Late Jurassic but they do not support further structure beyond a general trend through the Phanerozoic, which may correlate with the continental denudation rate.  相似文献
