Principe is one of the volcanic centres comprising the Cameroun line in West Africa. The volcanic rocks can be divided into two stratigraphic units:
  1. Younger lava series — basanite and nephelinite overlying.
  2. Older lava series — transitional to mildly alkaline basalt and hawaiite.
These units lie on a basement of palagonite breccias of tholeiitic affinities. The basic lavas are intruded by plugs ranging in composition from tristanite to phonolite and are overlain by phonolite lavas. These rocks form two chemically and mineralogically distinct suites:
  1. Phonolites which evolved by low pressure crystal fractionation of the younger lava series basanitic magma, and
  2. Tristanite — trachyte — trachyphonolite suite which may have evolved by high pressure crystal fractionation of the older lava series magma.

Geologic, petrological and geochemical investigations have been carried out in the western part of the “Zillertaler Alpen”. Important results are:
  1. The premetamorphic material of the Greiner series consists of conglomerates, breccias, arcosic-sandstones or greywackes, bituminous shales, volcanic lavas and tuffs.
  2. The southern part of the “Zentralgneis” shows a differentiation trend from alkaline granite to quarzdiorite with predomination of granodiorite.
  3. Chemical relationships of granodiorite to its restitic inclusions allow the supposition of a palingenetic origin of the granitic rocks.
  4. At least two stages of metamorphism can be differentiated.
  5. Parts of the Greiner series, covered by triassic metasediments, are supposed to be of Permian age. A lower age boundary can not yet be given.
  6. Some vertical, northeast striking faults with throws of more than 1 or 2 kilometers produced southward verging drag folds.
  7. Geodynamic aspects, revealed from regional metamorphism and tectonics, are discussed.

Six lithologic units in tectonic contact with each other have been defined during mapping of the Devonian in the Beaujolais area of the northeastern Massif Central. Five main igneous suites have been recognized:
  1. A transitional basaltic suite restricted to a single unit.
  2. An acid volcanic-plutonic suite the members of which are related by fractional crystallization and magma mixing.
  3. Low-TiO2 volcanic rocks with calc-alkaline affinities.
  4. A TiO2-rich tholeiitic suite related to an ophiolitic complex.
  5. A plutonic suite with close resemblances to Alaskantype intrusions.
The transitional metabasalts (1) form the oldest igneous suite and could represent either an intraplate magmatic forerunner of rifting or tectonic slices of weakly metamorphosed rocks representing a pre-Acadian event. The next three suites may be related to a short-lived ensialic marginal basin that developed between the Acadian and Bretonian orogenies. The basin is asymmetric, with the ophiolite of the central part flanked by an acid ridge on one side and a passive continental margin on the other. Quartz-keratophyres (2) and calc-alkalic basic volcanic rocks (3) were intercalated in varying proportions to form a bimodal volcanic pile before the rifting event that led to the formation of the ophiolites (4). The acid ridge (2) may be due to the reactivation of a continental basement. Cumulate rocks with Alaskan-type affinities occur as olistoliths, emplaced before the formation of the rift basin, supporting a comparison of the Hercynian belt with accreted magmatic arc terranes.  相似文献

The paper presents novel information on the Caledonian orogeny in Ireland. A series of Dalradian (Upper Precambrian-Lower Cambrian) metasedimentary rocks occur as an envelope to a granitic igneous complex at Slieve Gamph, Western Ireland. These metasedimentary rocks have been deformed at several distinct times and evidence is shown for the following sequence of events:
  1. formation of major nappe structures and a tectonic slide. The axial-plane traces of the folds probably trended N. E.-S. W.
  2. formation of upright, gently plunging folds with axial-plane traces of the folds trending N. E.-S. W. Emplacement of the components of the Slieve Gamph igneous complex.
  3. formation of a conjugate set of folds:
    1. Open folds with N. N. E.-S. S. W. trending axial-planes which dip to the east,
    2. Open folds with E.W. trending axial-planes which dip to the north.
  4. formation of kink-bands, open and conjugate folds with an axialplane trace trending N. W.-S. E.
Late phase of faulting. No isotopic dates are available for these structural events.  相似文献

Prior experimental work has shown that in the laboratory the mineralogy of eclogites is sensitive to the ratio of CaO ∶ MgO ∶ FeO and that the reaction pyroxene + kyanite?garnet + quartz proceeds to the right at high pressures in rocks rich in magnesium and to the left in rocks rich in calcium and iron. Typical basalts crystallized at high pressure never contain kyanite. The chemistry and mineralogy of a large number of naturally occurring eclogites show they belong to three classes.
  1. Kyanite-free magmatic eclogites, rich in magnesium, from:
  2. kimberlites
  3. dunites and serpentinites.
  4. Kyanite-bearing eclogites and grosspydites rich in CaO and low in FeO with intermediate MgO from:
  5. kimberlites
  6. gneisses.
  7. Kyanite-free eclogites of metamorphic origin rich in iron with low magnesium and intermediate amounts of calcium from:
  8. glaucophane schists
  9. gneisses.

The release of thermal fluids is expected during tectonic movement. These thermal fluids may be trapped by minerals (newly formed or recrystallized) to form fluid inclusions. The aim of this paper is to discuss the tectonic relations between the North China Platform and the Qinling Geosyncline based mainly on the fluid inclusion data. Some preliminary conclusions have been drawn as follows:
  1. Recognized between the platform and the geosyncline are several tectonic belts, each of which has different characteristics with respect to fluid inclusions.
  2. Various tectonic belts are bounded by the fault, on both sides of which fluid inclusions found are considerably different.
  3. Research on fluid inclusions provides further information on the history of tectonic evolution of the North China Platform and the Qinling Geosyncline.
This work is an initial attempt to the study of tectonic geology in terms of fluid inclusion data.  相似文献

The Elzevir batholith belongs to a suite of trondhjemitic intrusions emplaced at ca. 1,240 Ma in the Grenville Province of eastern Ontario. New major and trace element data, including REE, combined with isotopic and petrographic data indicate that:
  1. the batholith has calc-alkalic affinities;
  2. the Elzevir parental magma is very similar to that of dacites in the nearby, coeval metavolcanic rocks; the magma formed by partial melting of crustal material at granulite grade;
  3. chemical differences between the plutonic and volcanic rocks can be best explained by accumulation of plagioclase in the plutonic environment;
  4. fractionation was dominated by plagioclase and quartz, with lesser biotite and epidote, and minor zircon and apatite.
It is suggested that melting of sialic crust took place during the ‘docking’ of a partly-evolved, originally ensimatic arc system against the main cratonic mass to the northwest.  相似文献

The author's concept (1970, 1974) of evaluating metamorphic conditions is explained on the basis of most recent petrologic data. The major points treated are:
  1. Instead of usual petrographic mapping, petrographic work in the field is aimed at specific “targets”, i.e., rock compositions. This is so because only specific rocks may give petrogenetically relevant information in the four metamorphic grades.
  2. There are very many mineral reactions in metamorphism but only a few are petrogenetically significant. These are important to know, and they are graphically demonstrated. Any mineral assemblage that is formed by a significant mineral reaction must be verified as a paragenesis of mutually contacting minerals. Only such parageneses deserve to be mapped in the field as isograds or isoreactiongrads.
  3. Crossing isograds or isoreactionsgrads provide data on temperature and pressure during metamorphism for that part of a metamorphic terrane where the crossing has been observed.
  4. The sequence of isograds or isoreaction-grads may be a pressure indicator. Moreover, such a sequence provides geodynamic information whether a larger metamorphic area has been lifted up evenly or has been tilted while it was uplifted after metamorphism.

In Sconser quarry, Isle of Skye, a thin Tertiary basic sill is cut by vertical veins which formed fluid conduits in a major meteoric-hydrothermal system. In order to study the relative mobility of different elements during hydrothermal metamorphism, sill material adjacent to a large (6 mm wide) vein was cut into slices and subjected to geochemical and isotopic analysis. Isotopic evidence indicates that the basic magma which formed the sill was contaminated by Lewisian (Archaean) gneisses at depth, while material from Torridonian (Proterozoic) sandstone country rocks was introduced by hydrothermal fluids after crystallisation. The behaviour of the different elements during hydrothermal metamorphism divides them into 4 groups.
  1. Large-ion low-charge elements Ba, K, Rb and Cs were strongly leached from the wall rock in the vicinity of the vein.
  2. Other elements including Sr and Pb were depleted near the vein, but isotopic evidence indicates addition of some material from the fluids. This two-way nuclide transport forms an exchange process.
  3. Many high-field-strength elements including the REE are slightly enriched near the vein, but Nd isotope evidence reveals no addition of material from fluids. These elements must have been relatively enriched by the removal of other elements (mainly Si and Al).
  4. Ca and Na were added to the wall rock from fluid. The variable mobility of these elements is explained by the differing ease with which they could be incorporated into a new albite-calcite-chlorite-epidote mineralogy. The constitution of this hydrothermal mineralogy was largely determined by the primary igneous mineralogy, though the composition of hydrothermal fluids had a subordinate influence.

Massive sulfide deposits located on Hercynian islets of northwestern Morocco exhibit four main characteristics:
  • They are strata-bound massive pyrrhotite deposits mined for sulfur and/or base metals occasionally occurring as sulfides of workable grade.
  • Volcanic rocks with which these massive sulfide orebodies are associated are scarce, although always present as acid flows of submarine emissions of either rhyolitic or more often quartz-keratophyric nature. Later on, basic plutonics intruded the pelitic country rocks.
  • Stockworks underlying the massive sulfide orebodies are common, but not systematic. When present, they occur in siltite ± phyllite ± carbonate rocks at the wall of massive sulfide lenses. They consist of fissural disseminations transformed by epimetamorphic recrystallization and by one schistosity generally concordant with s0.
  • Associated alterites and exhalites belong to three types, i.e., sericitite (or biotite-rich rock), chloritite, and/or chert (jasper).
  • Generally well located in a back-arc basin environment characterized by a two-phase geological history, i.e., “extension and volcanism, compression and metamorphism”, these volcano-sedimentary deposits exhibit distal features with regard to the volcanism coeval with their sedimentation. They are mostly linked with strongly reducing environmental properties entailing pyrrhotite and/or magnetite syngenetic deposition, whatever the iron activity.  相似文献

    U-Pb data on zircons from the largest mafic-ultramafic body (6×2 km) of the French Central Massif (Sauviat-sur-Vige) yield the following age results: Primary magmatic crystallization of the gabbroic and peridotitic protoliths took place in the Cambro-Ordovician (496±25/17 m.y.). Variable transformation under eclogite facies conditions was Hercynian (320±29/36 m.y.). The same age pattern, derived by U-Pb monazite analyses, was found also for the immediate country rocks, i.e. kyanite bearing, coarse-grained metagranites occurring to the W and N of the Sauviat massif. Due to the fact that there is no regional Hercynian high-grade metamorphism in this part of the French Central Massif (e.g. Duthou 1977; Bernard-Griffiths 1975), both mafic-ultramafic complex as well as immediate felsic country rocks must have been emplaced tectonically into pre-Hercynian (Acadian±Caledonian) crustal rocks. The cause for such a Hercynian tectonism is thought to be due to continent-continent collision of the Spanish with the Armorican plate. Preliminary U-Pb zircon results on one eclogite sample taken about 50 km S of the Sauviat complex indicate also an Early Palaeozoic age for the magmatic protolith and a Hercynian transformation into eclogite, combined with and/or followed by tectonic emplacement. However, opposite to the continental Sauviat massif, we are probably dealing here with oceanic material, possibly deposited in an Early Palaeozoic marginal sea basin. Thus, subduction and tectonic emplacement of oceanic crust into continental crust terminated in this area also in the Hercynian. Concerning U-Pb systematics of zircon and monazite the following conclusions can be drawn:
    1. U-Pb systems of primary magmatic zircons of mafic and ultramafic rocks are only weakly disturbed during static eclogite facies metamorphism (T>820° C; P> 15 kbar);
    2. New- and overgrowth of zircon during eclogite facies metamorphism seems to be the major cause for the degree of discordance;
    3. Amphibolitization of metagabbros and eclogites had no effect on the degree of discordance of zircon;
    4. U-Pb systems of monazites remained undisturbed during intense weathering of the mother rock.

    Basalts from DSDP Site 417 (109 Ma) exhibit the effects of several stages of alteration reflecting the evolution of seawater-derived solution compositions and control by the structure and permeability of the crust. Characteristic secondary mineral assemblages occur in often superimposed alteration zones within individual basalt fragments. By combining bulk rock and single phase chemical analyses with detailed mineralogic and petrographic studies, chemical changes have been determined for most of the alteration stages identified in the basalts.
    1. Minor amounts of saponite, chlorite, and pyrite formed locally in coarse grained portions of massive units, possibly at high temperatures during initial cooling of the basalts. No chemical changes could be determined for this stage.
    2. Possible mixing of cooled hydrothermal fluids with seawater resulted in the formation of celadonite-nontronite and Fe-hydroxide-rich black halos around cracks and pillow rims. Gains of K, Rb, H2O, increase of Fe3+/FeT, and possibly some losses of Ca and Mg occurred during this stage.
    3. Extensive circulation of oxygenated seawater resulted in the formation of various smectites, K-feldspar, and Fe-hydroxides in brown and light grey alteration zones around formerly exposed surfaces. K, Rb, H2O, and occasionally P were added to the rocks, Fe3+/FeT increased, and Ca, Mg, Si and occasionally Al and Na were lost.
    4. Anoxic alteration occurred during reaction of basalt with seawater at low water-rock ratios, or with seawater that had previously reacted with basalt. Saponite-rich dark grey alteration zones formed which exhibit very little chemical change: generally only slight increases in Fe3+/FeT and H2O occurred.
    5. Zeolites and calcite formed from seawater-derived fluids modified by previous reactions with basalt. Chemical changes involved increases of Ca, Na, H2O, and CO2 in the rocks.
    6. A late stage of anoxic conditions resulted in the formation of minor amounts of Mn-calcites and secondary sulfides in previously oxidized rocks. No chemical changes were determined for this stage.
    Recognition of such alteration sequences is important in understanding the evolution of submarine hydrothermal systems and in interpreting chemical exchange due to seawater-basalt reactions.  相似文献

    Three profils of fossil Bauxites probably of Early Tertiary age in the Shevaroy Hills and in the Nilgiri Hills, South India, are examined. They are formed by isovolumetric transformation of charnockites under conservation of relict structures. The chemical and mineralogical composition of the bauxites depends on the petrology of the source rock. Na, K, Ca, Mg and the main quantity of silica are extracted, Al and Fe have been enriched relatively and in certain places even absolutely. The mineral transformation in the beginning of the weathering developped in two phases:
    1. Leaching and precipitation within the cleavage pattern of the minerals,
    2. Leaching and precipitation in the places of the former mineral relicts.
    Different later phases of weathering produced Fe- and Al-rich solutions, which are precipitated in the intervals of porous rocks.  相似文献

    The analysis of the martian relief leads to the conclusion that some of the most important relief elements are either concentrically or radially arranged with respect to a central structure and hence form aureoles. In this paper four different types of aureoles are identified and described:
    1. impact aureoles (as result of extradynamics),
    2. volcanic aureoeles (as result of lava flow through vents),
    3. tectonic aureoles (as result of isostatic adjustment and/or settlement),
    4. permafrost-related aureoles and mega-aureoles (as result of migration above thawing permafrost in areas with high relief).
    The spatial distribution of these different types of aureoles indicates the predominant type of relief-forming dynamics in the area of their distribution (impact-related aureoles occur predominantly in the area of the Southern Uplands; volcanic, tectonic and permafrost-related aureoles in the area of large-scale updomings-TaNoVa, Elysiumand their volcanic provinces).  相似文献

    Scapolite at Mary Kathleen (North-Western Queensland) occurs in calcareous and non-calcareous metapelites, acid and basic metavolcanics and metadolerites. Graphical treatment of the relationship between scapolite composition (Me%) and the host rock oxide ratios CaO/Na2O and Al2O3/(CaO + Na2O) reveals the following points:
    1. The calcareous metapelites are also very sodic.
    2. Scapolite in calcareous metapelites is more marialitic than that in low-calcium equivalents.
    3. In graphs of Me% against CaO/Na2O and Al2O3/(CaO + Na2O) the metasediments and the metaigneous rocks show markedly different trends.
    It is concluded that scapolite in the metasediments originated by isochemical metamorphism of shales and marls containing evaporitic halite. The local abundance of halite was the main control on the composition and distribution of the scapolite, but the relative abundance of CaO and Na2O was a modifying factor. In the metaigneous rocks scapolite formed metasomatically during regional metamorphism by the introduction of volatile-rich fluids derived from the adjacent evaporitic sediments. The relative availability of CO2 and Cl2 again appears to have been the primary control on scapolite composition and may in turn have been controlled by bulk rock composition.  相似文献

    The Brazilian state of Goiás and parts of Mato Grosso represent the centre of the Brazilian shield, between the Guaporé craton in the west and the São Francisco craton in the east. In contrast to opinions before, early Precambrian gneisses and migmatites form only small parts of the shield complex whereas middle and late Precambrian sequences dominate. From tectonic position, an eugeosynclinal central zone can be distinguished accompanied by younger miogeosynclinal series to the east and west. The ultrabasic massifs of Goiás can be differentiated into following types:
    1. alpinotype serpentinised dunites and peridotites,
    2. gabbro-pyroxenite-peridotite associations,
    3. pyroxenite-metagabbro associations,
    4. dunite-pyroxenite-alkalisyenite associations,
    5. lamprophyre dykes.
    Nos. 1, 2 and 3 are of Precambrian age whereas 4 and 5 are surely of post-Devonian, probably of Cretaceous age and can be attributed to the phase of Paraná volcanism. The most economic types at the moment (Nos. 1 and 2) yield Ni, Cu and Co in lateritic enrichment, Cr, Pt and related elements as primary constituents. Latest, the types 4 and 5 cause special interest. From their association with carbonatites they are related to the Araxá complex of Minas Gerais and anticipate mineralizations of Nb, Ta, Ti and P.  相似文献

    The Mesozoic lavas and minor intrusions in the thrust sheets of western Sicily have the following characteristics:
    1. The lavas in the Triassic Mufara Formation in the north were broken into fragments which rotated independently within the incompetent strata that enclose them. This behavior is characteristic of igneous rocks found within the more internal (northerly) thrust units.
    2. The Jurassic lavas in the more external (southerly) units have consistent directions which agree with those of the Ammonitico Rosso limestones in the same zone and lie about 30° clockwise from those of coeval autochthonous formations in Tunisia.Schult's presumed Cretaceous directions from Custonaci on the north coast (similar to those found in the Cretaceous Scaglia Rossa at Terrasini to the east byChannel et al., 1980) are rotated still more (140°) with respect to those of the autochthonous Iblean platform of SE Sicily. These differences are believed to reflect rotation of the thrust sheets during tectonic transport in Cenozoic times, the internal units being the most strongly rotated.
    3. All the igneous rocks are highly altered: generally the original mineralogy cannot be completely determined. Relative abundances of some of the less mobile elements (Ti, Sr, Y) suggest that they are intraplate basalts.

    A comparative study of xenoliths from lavas and granitic rocks of central France indicates that:
    1. The evolution of the xenoliths is essentially the same in intermediate to acid lavas as in granites. The major factor in this evolution is the assimilation by the host magmas of the quartzofeldspathic components of the xenoliths, which then become Al, Fe, Mg-rich restites.
    2. Liquid immiscibility between melted xenoliths and host magmas can only be postulated for acid xenoliths in alkali basalts.
    3. The basic microgranular xenoliths in some granites do not show important compositional gaps with their host rocks, though they are regularly more basic. They can be considered as early segregations (cumulates).

    The Niutoushan basaltic cone, consisting of subalkali (quartz-tholeiite and olivine-tholeiite) and alkali basalts, is Late Tertiary in age. Its major characteristics are generalized as follows:
    1. Both early subalkali and late alkali bali basalts are formed under the same geological environment.
    2. The continuity in chemical composition from subalkali to alkali and the low FeO/MgO in alkali basalts show that they are the products of cognate magmatic differentiation.
    3. The change from low REE abundance and weak enrichment of LREE in subalkali to high REE abundance and strong enrichment of LREE in alkali basalts indicates obvious REE enrichment and fractionation during magmatic differentiation. Weak positive Eu anomalies in the REE patterns are indicative of their formation under low oxygen fugacity conditions.
    4. According to the calculated values, 70–75% of the primary olivine tholeiitic magma had been separated as subalkaline basaltic magma, the rest residual magma became alkaline basaltic magma. This result is consistent to the field observation that the outcrop area of subalkali basalts is four times as much as that of alkali basalts.
    5. The basaltic rocks of Niutoushan show an S-type distribution straddling the thermal barrier on Ol′-Ne′-Qu′ diagram and an evolution tendency for Ne to increase with increasing FeO/MgO. This is in agreement with the melting experimental data on olivine basalts at 10–20 kb.
    6. Mantle-derived inclusions (spinel lherzolite) in this area occur in both alkali olivine basalts and olivine tholeiites. The latter is of extremely rare occurrence. The formation temperature and pressure of the inclusions in alkalibasalts and olivine tholeiites have been calculated. The results show that the alkaline basaltic magma was separated from the subalkaline basaltic magma at about 20 kb.
    Basaltic rocks in Niutoushan were formed through the so-called “high pressure differentiation”, that is, at about 20 kb the crystallization of clinopyroxene and orthpyroxene resulted in the separation of subalkaline basaltic magma from the primary olivine tholeiitic magma, and then the residue gradually became alkaline olivine basaltic magma.  相似文献
