Apatite as an indicator mineral for mineral exploration: trace-element compositions and their relationship to host rock type 总被引:7,自引:0,他引:7

Over 700 apatite grains from a range of rock types have been analysed by laser-ablation microprobe ICPMS for 28 trace elements, to investigate the potential usefulness of apatite as an indicator mineral in mineral exploration. Apatites derived from different rock types have distinctive absolute and relative abundances of many trace elements (including rare-earth elements (REE), Sr, Y, Mn, Th), and chondrite-normalised trace-element patterns. The slope of chondrite-normalised REE patterns varies systematically from ultramafic through mafic/intermediate to highly fractionated granitoid rock types. (Ce/Yb)cn is very high in apatites from carbonatites and mantle-derived lherzolites (over 100 and over 200, respectively), while (Ce/Yb)cn values in apatites from granitic pegmatites are generally less than 1, reflecting both HREE enrichment and LREE depletion. Within a large suite of apatites from granitoid rocks, chemical composition is closely related to both the degree of fractionation and the oxidation state of the magma, two important parameters in determining the mineral potential of the magmatic system. Apatite can accept high levels of transition and chalcophile elements and As, making it feasible to recognise apatite associated with specific types of mineralisation. Multivariate statistical analysis has provided a user-friendly scheme to distinguish apatites from different rock types, based on contents of Sr, Y, Mn and total REE, the degree of LREE enrichment and the size of the Eu anomaly. The scheme can be used for the recognition of apatites from specific rock types or styles of mineralisation, so that the provenance of apatite grains in heavy mineral concentrates can be determined and used in geochemical exploration. 相似文献

Trace element concentrations in the four principal peridotitic silicate phases (garnet, olivine, orthopyroxene, clinopyroxene)
included in diamonds from Akwatia (Birim Field, Ghana) were determined using SIMS. Incompatible trace elements are hosted
in garnet and clinopyroxene except for Sr which is equally distributed between orthopyroxene and garnet in harzburgitic paragenesis
diamonds. The separation between lherzolitic and harzburgitic inclusion parageneses, which is commonly made using compositional
fields for garnets in a CaO versus Cr2O3 diagram, is also apparent from the Ti and Sr contents in both olivine and garnet. Titanium is much higher in the lherzolitic
and Sr in the harzburgitic inclusions. Chondrite normalised REE patterns of lherzolitic garnets are enriched (10–20 times
chondrite) in HREE (LaN/YbN = 0.02–0.06) while harzburgitic garnets have sinusoidal REEN patterns, with the highest concentrations for Ce and Nd (2–8 times chondritic) and a minimum at Ho (0.2–0.7 times chondritic).
Clinopyroxene inclusions show negative slopes with La enrichment 10–100 times chondritic and low Lu (0.1–1 times chondritic).
Both a lherzolitic and a harzburgitic garnet with very high knorringite contents (14 and 21 wt% Cr2O3 respectively) could be readily distinguished from other garnets of their parageneses by much higher levels of LREE enrichment.
The REE patterns for calculated melt compositions from lherzolitic garnet inclusions fall into the compositional field for
kimberlitic-lamproitic and carbonatitic melts. Much more strongly fractionated REE patterns calculated from harzburgitic garnets,
and low concentrations in Ti, Y, Zr, and Hf, differ significantly from known alkaline and carbonatitic melts and require a
different agent. Equilibration temperatures for harzburgitic inclusions are generally below the C-H-O solidus of their paragenesis,
those of lherzolitic inclusions are above. Crystallisation of harzburgitic diamonds from CO2-bearing melts or fluids may thus be excluded. Diamond inclusion chemistry and mineralogy also is inconsistent with known
examples of metasomatism by H2O-rich melts. We therefore favour diamond precipitation by oxidation of CH4-rich fluids with highly fractionated trace element patterns which are possibly due to “chromatographic” fractionation processes.

Summary An experimental study on the phase relationships of three potassium-rich ultramafic rocks from the Damodar Valley, Gondawana
basins, has been performed under upper mantle P–T conditions (1.0–2.5 GPa, 700–1200 °C). The Mohanpur lamproite and Satyanarayanpur
minette, both from the Raniganj basins, have been investigated with the addition of 15 wt% H2O. No water was added in the experiments done on an olivine minette from the Jarangdih coal mine, Bokaro Basin, which originally
contains 15 wt% CO2 and 2.86 wt% H2O.
In all cases, olivine is the liquidus phase followed by phlogopite. The subsolidus assemblage for the three rocks is a phlogopite-bearing
harzburgite, associated with apatite, Mg-ilmenite and carbonates for the Jarangdih rock; apatite, chromian spinel and carbonates
and priderite (only between 1.0 and 1.2 GPa) in the case of the Mohanpur lamproite, and finally apatite, chromian spinel,
rutile, and carbonate in the Satyanarayanpur sample.
Although orthopyroxene is absent in the natural potassium-rich ultramafic rocks, its presence in the run products of the Jarangdih
rock is possibly related to a reaction between olivine and a CO2-bearing fluid phase. The presence of orthopyroxene in the run products of Mohanpur and Satyanarayanpur rocks may be due to
a reaction between K-feldspar, olivine and a vapour phase to produce phlogopite and orthopyroxene.
On the basis of present experimental investigation and isotopic studies made by previous investigators, it has been suggested
that these K-rich rocks have crystallized from melts derived by vein-plus-wall-rock melting of a phlogopite-bearing harzburgite
source rock.

SIMS analyses have been carried out on clinopyroxenes, plagioclases and amphiboles of six gabbroic samples from Holes 921–924
of the Ocean Drilling Program Leg 153 sited in the MARK area of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge at the ridge–transform intersection,
to investigate the rare earth, trace and volatile element distribution in the lower ocean crust during igneous crystallization
and higher grade metamorphic conditions. The metagabbros underwent granulite to subgreenschist facies conditions through three
main tectono-metamorphic phases: (1) ductile regime (750 < T < 1000 °C and P ≈ 0.3 GPa); (2) transitional regime (600 < T < 700 °C
and P ≈ 0.2 GPa); (3) brittle regime (350 ≤ T < 600 °C and P < 0.2 GPa). Igneous clinopyroxenes show C1-chondrite normalized
patterns depleted in LREE, and nearly flat for HREE. The rare earth and trace element distributions in igneous clinopyroxenes
and plagioclases indicate that these minerals act as REE reservoirs, and comprise the main contribution to the overall rock
content. The abundances in igneous minerals reflect the degree of fractionation of the parent liquids. In metamorphic clinopyroxenes
recrystallized in anhydrous assemblages, the REE and trace elements patterns mimic those of the primary ones. Conversely,
clinopyroxene re-equilibrated in amphibole-bearing assemblages shows a significant increase in REE, Ti, Zr, Y and V, a negative
Eu anomaly, and slight decreases in Sr and Ba. An overall increase of REE and some trace elements is evident in hydrous assemblages,
with preferential partitioning in the amphibole. It shows high Ti (18196–22844 ppm), LREE depleted patterns and LaN/SmN=0.10–0.33, LaN/YbN=0.10–0.30. Amphiboles from granoblastic assemblages show homogeneous patterns with no or a positive anomaly for TiN and negative anomalies for SrN and ZrN. Volatiles in amphibole are low, with Cl/F < 1; H2O% is significantly lower than the stoichiometric ratio (1.33–1.53%). The composition of the clinopyroxene and amphibole recrystallized
in low-strain domains records evidence of incomplete re-equilibration, and element diffusion and partitioning is in part controlled
by the textural site. The possible origins of the fluids involved in the metamorphic recrystallization are discussed: (1)
remobilization from igneous amphibole; (2) exsolution from evolved melts; (3) introduction of seawater-derived fluids modified
in rock-dominated systems; (4) injection of highly evolved hydrous melts during the metamorphic process.

Alkaline-basic dike from the Yllymakh Massif (Central Aldan) has been studied. Its partially crystallized matrix contains
corroded phenocrysts of olivine and hypidiomorphic phenocrysts of clinopyroxene and pseudo-, epileucite. It was found that
phenocrysts of clinopyroxene contain abundant primary inclusions, Ti-magnetite and apatite bear only single inclusions, whereas
olivine is enriched in secondary inclusions, which are confined to the cleavage of host mineral (along second and third pinacoids)
and its cracks. The homogenization temperatures of the primary inclusions in clinopyroxene and secondary inclusions in olivine
are approximately equal and lie within 1260–1240°C. The compositions of melt inclusions in olivine and clinopyroxene are also
similar and corresponded to the malignite-pseudoleucite phonolite-monzonite pulaskites, which are developed at the Yllymakh
Massif. Unheated inclusions in apatite and Ti-magnetite compositionally approach monzonites and nepheline syenites—tinguaites,
respectively. It was concluded that the alkaline basaltoid magma was presumably parental magma for the entire rock complex
of the Yllymakh Massif. Its crystallization and differentiation presumably provided all observed rock variety from ultrabasics
(early derivatives located at depth) and malignites (later derivatives) to leucite phonolites, monzonites, and alkaline pulaskites,
which were obtained during subsequent stages of the melt evolution. The parental magma, and especially its derivatives, were
enriched in BaO (0.8–0.1 wt %), Cl (0.1–0.3 wt %) and trace elements (primarily, LREE and MREE), which are several times higher
than mantle values. At the same time, ion microprobe (SIMS) study showed that derivative melts were dry: contained only 0.01–1.13
wt % H2O. The trend of melts conserved in the minerals and the massif rocks corresponds to the evolution of alkalinebasaltoid magma
with increase in Si, Al, alkalis and decrease in Mg, Ca, and Fe, i.e. the Bowen trend. The considered alkaline-basic dike
was presumably formed from the derivative of leucite-phonolite melt, which during emplacement captured olivine xenocrysts
from previously fractionated ultrabasic rocks. The parental magma was presumably derived by high-degree melting of garnet-spinel-facies
depleted mantle at some influence of crustal material. 相似文献

Peridotitic inclusions in alluvial diamonds from the Kankan region of Guinea in West Africa are mainly of lherzolitic paragenesis.
Nevertheless, extreme Cr2O3 contents (max. 17 wt%) in some of the exclusively lherzolitic garnets document that the diamond source experienced a previous
stage of melt extraction in the spinel stability field. This initial depletion was followed by at least two metasomatic stages:
(1) enrichment of LREE and Sr and (2) introduction mainly of MREE–HREE and other HFSE (Ti, Y, Zr, Hf). The Ti- and HFSE-poor
character of stage (1) points towards a CHO-rich fluid or carbonatitic melt, the high HFSE in stage (2) favour silicate melts
as enriching agent. Eclogitic inclusions are derived from a large depth interval ranging from the lithosphere through the
asthenosphere into the transition zone. The occurrence of negative Eu anomalies in garnet and clinopyroxene from both lithosphere
and transition zone suggests a possible relationship to subducted oceanic crust. Lithospheric eclogitic inclusions are derived
from heterogeneous sources, that may broadly be divided into a low-Ca group with LREE depleted trace element patterns and
a high-Ca group representing a source with negative LREE–HREE slope that is moderately enriched in incompatible elements relative
to primitive mantle. High-Ca inclusions of majoritic paragenesis are significantly more enriched in incompatible elements,
such as in Sr and LREE. Calculated whole rock compositions require metasomatic enrichment even if a derivation from MORB is
assumed.

Trace element distribution in Central Dabie eclogites 总被引:16,自引:0,他引:16
R. Sassi B. Harte D. A. Carswell H. Yujing 《Contributions to Mineralogy and Petrology》2000,139(3):298-315
Coesite-bearing eclogites from Dabieshan (central China) have been studied by ion microprobe to provide information on trace
element distributions in meta-basaltic mineral assemblages during high-pressure metamorphism. The primary mineralogy (eclogite
facies) appears to have been garnet and omphacite, usually with coesite, phengite and dolomite, together with high-alumina
titanite or rutile, or both titanite and rutile; kyanite also occurs occasionally as an apparently primary phase. It is probable
that there was some development of quartz, epidote and apatite whilst the rock remained in the eclogite facies. A later amphibolite
facies overprint led to partial replacement of some minerals and particularly symplectitic development after omphacite. They
vary from very fine-grained dusty-looking to coarser grained Am + Di + Pl symplectites. The eclogite facies minerals show
consistent trace element compositions and partition coefficients indicative of mutual equilibrium. Titanite, epidote and apatite
all show high concentrations of REE relative to clinopyroxene. The compositions of secondary (amphibolite facies) minerals
are clearly controlled by local rather than whole-rock equilibrium, with the composition of amphibole in particular depending
on whether it is replacing clinopyroxene or garnet. REE partition coefficients for Cpx/Grt show a dependence on the Ca content
of the host phases, with D
REE
Cpx/Grt
decreasing with decreasing D
Ca
. This behaviour is very similar to that seen in mantle eclogites, despite differences in estimated temperatures of formation
of 650–850 °C (Dabieshan) and 1000–1200 °C (mantle eclogites). With the exception of HREE in garnet, trace elements in the
eclogites are strongly distributed in favour of minor or accessory phases. In particular, titanite and rutile strongly concentrate
Nb and Zr, whilst LREE–MREE go largely into epidote, titanite and apatite. If these minor/accessory minerals behave in a refractory
manner during melting or fluid mobilisation events and do not contribute to the melt/fluid, then the resultant melts and fluids
will be strongly depleted in LREE–MREE.

The trace element distribution in three selected olivine-bearing gabbros from the Northern Apennine ophiolites has been determined.
These rocks consist of euhedral plagioclase and olivine, and subhedral to poikilitic clinopyroxene. Fe-Ti-oxides, titanian
pargasite, orthopyroxene and apatite occur as interstitial accessory minerals. Plagioclase, clinopyroxene and accessory minerals
were analysed for rare earth (REE) and selected trace elements by secondary ion mass spectrometry. Both plagioclase and clinopyroxene
are compositionally zoned. The plagioclase rims have slightly lower anorthite component and higher light REE (LREE), Ba and
K than the cores. Likewise, the clinopyroxene rims show a slight Mg and Cr decrease, and a marked increase in Zr, REE and
Y relative to the core. The rims of plagioclase and clinopyroxene, Fe-Ti-oxides, apatite and titanian pargasite most likely
formed through post-cumulus fractional crystallization of interstitial liquid. It is argued that such interstitial liquid
had an exotic component, probably related to the infiltration of highly evolved, slightly LREE enriched liquid in the cumulate
pile. On the basis of mass balance calculations, we show that Fe-Ti-oxides play an important role in the Ti budget of the
whole rock, as does apatite for LREE.

Petrologic and geochemical investigation of carbonates in peridotite xenoliths from northeastern Tanzania 总被引:5,自引:1,他引:4
Cin-Ty Lee Roberta L. Rudnick William F. McDonough Ingo Horn 《Contributions to Mineralogy and Petrology》2000,139(4):470-484
Primary carbonates in peridotite xenoliths from the East African Rift in northeastern Tanzania occur as intergranular patches
with accessory minerals (olivine and spinel), as patches with accessory magmatic minerals (nepheline), and as round monomineralic
inclusions in primary olivine grains. All are characterized by calcitic compositions (Ca/Ca + Mg + Fe from 0.83 to 0.99),
extremely low SiO2 + Al2O3 + Na2O + K2O, low trace element abundance [total rare-earth element (REE) abundance <25 ppm], uniform extinction, and lack of reaction
textures with the host xenolith. Calculated Fe–Mg exchange coefficients between carbonate and primary olivine indicate disequilibrium
in most samples. Combined with the lack of significant reaction textures, this suggests that the carbonates were introduced
shortly before or during eruption of the host magma. A global compilation of electron microprobe analyses of mantle-derived
carbonates (in xenoliths, xenocrysts, and megacrysts) reveals compositional clusters near end member calcite, end member magnesite,
and stoichiometric dolomite. Eutectic liquid compositions are less common, suggesting that many carbonate inclusions reported
worldwide may be crystalline precipitates. Likewise, the calcites in this study are not interpreted to represent quenched
carbonatitic melts, but are interpreted instead to be crystalline cumulates from such melts. These inferences are consistent
with recent experiments, which show that carbonatitic melts cannot become more calcitic than CaCO3∼80 wt%. Low trace element abundance may be a diagnostic feature of cumulate carbonate, and in combination with petrography
and major element composition, serve to distinguish it from quenched carbonated liquid.

Spinel and plagioclase peridotites from the Mt.Maggiore (Corsica, France) ophiolitic massif record a composite asthenosphere–lithosphere
history of partial melting and subsequent multi-stage melt–rock interaction. Cpx-poor spinel lherzolites are consistent with
mantle residues after low-degree fractional melting (F = 5–10%). Opx + spinel symplectites at the rims of orthopyroxene porphyroclasts indicate post-melting lithospheric cooling
(T = 970–1,100°C); this was followed by formation of olivine embayments within pyroxene porphyroclasts by melt–rock interaction.
Enrichment in modal olivine (up to 85 wt%) at constant bulk Mg values, and variable absolute REE contents (at constant LREE/HREE)
indicate olivine precipitation and pyroxene dissolution during reactive porous melt flow. This stage occurred at spinel-facies
depths, after incorporation of the peridotites in the thermal lithosphere. Plagioclase-enriched peridotites show melt impregnation
microtextures, like opx + plag intergrowths replacing exsolved cpx porphyroclasts and interstitial gabbronoritic veinlets.
This second melt–rock interaction stage caused systematic chemical changes in clinopyroxene (e.g. Ti, REE, Zr, Y increase),
related to the concomitant effects of local melt–rock interaction at decreasing melt mass, and crystallization of small (<3%)
trapped melt fractions. LREE depletion in minerals of the gabbronoritic veinlets indicates that the impregnating melts were
more depleted than normal MORB. Preserved microtextural evidence of previous melt–rock interaction in the impregnated peridotites
suggests that they were progressively uplifted in response to lithosphere extension and thinning. Migrating melts were likely
produced by mantle upwelling and melting related to extension; they were modified from olivine-saturated to opx-saturated
compositions, and caused different styles of melt–rock interaction (reactive spinel harzburgites, vs. impregnated plagioclase
peridotites) depending on the lithospheric depths at which interaction occurred.

Rare earth elements in apatite and magnetite in Kiruna-type iron ores and some other iron ore types 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6
An investigation of the content and distribution of REE in apatite and magnetite in the iron ores of Kiruna type and some other iron ores is presented. REE in apatite and magnetite in different ore types show characteristic patterns which are related to different modes of formation of the ores.The magnetite-apatite iron ores of the world can be divided into two types: (a) Kiruna iron ores proper which occur in volcanic rocks, and (b) iron ores connected with deuteric processes and/or related to intrusive rocks. Apatite of the Kiruna ores proper in Fennoscandia (e.g. Kiirunavaara, Malmberget and Grängesberg) shows a common pattern with 2000–7000 ppm REE, a weak to moderate LREE/HREE fractionation and negative Eu anomalies. In the Kiruna area, apatite of the main, P-poor ores and of the later, hydrothermal-exhalative P-rich ores, have the same REE distribution which indicates a common source. There is a similar REE distribution in magnetite-apatite trachytic-rhyodacitic host rock which confirms a close magmatic relationship. Apatite in phosphorites (such as the Paleoproterozoic Påläng deposit in northern Sweden) has a different composition (< 1000 ppm REE with Ce depletion) which excludes a sedimentary origin of the Kiruna apatite.Apatite in other volcanogenic magnetite-apatite ores outside Fennoscandia differ by a stronger LREE/HREE fractionation and by a medium to large Eu depletion, partly indicating a relationship to alkaline intrusions. The Avnik apatite, Turkey, shows a weak differentiation in combination with a pronounced negative Eu anomaly, indicating provenance from silicic magmatic sources.The REE pattern of apatite in the deuteric-hydrothermal apatite-bearing iron ores is in general similar to that of apatite in the Kiruna iron ores proper. The similarity indicates a common process of formation for both ore types.The apatite-iron ores of the Kiruna type proper were formed by a late-magmatic differentiation. The ores of the Kiruna area are, in similarity with some other magnetite-apatite ores, emplaced along regional fracture-fault lines and close to an older basement. In general the REE pattern of apatite in the different deposits shows an affinity to alkaline or sub-alkaline magmas, indicating a rifting environment. The alkaline, trachytic volcanics hosting the Kiruna ores in northern Sweden are clearly related to an extensional setting where rifting was important. A probable source for this large-scale ore-forming process was partial melting of deep-seated rocks. The ores evolved in an intracontinental setting with magma generation caused by underplating of older crust.The process giving rise to magnetite-apatite ores of the Kiruna type has occurred during the time span from Paleoproterozoic to Tertiary. The Proterozoic ores occur mainly in cratonized areas, whereas the younger ones occur in fold belts. The amount of ore formed in post-Proterozoic time is as large as that formed in Proterozoic time. 相似文献

Komatiite lava flows in the Crixás greenstone belt, Goiás, Brazil, have textures and volcanic structures typical of Archean
komatiites, but are geochemically most unusual. The flows are porphyritic and massive, or layered with spinifex upper parts
and olivine cumulate lower parts. MgO contents range from 18 to 40%. In such lavas, only olivine (and minor chromite) can
have crystallized, but neither major nor trace elements fall on olivine control lines. In MgO variation diagrams, CaO and
Sr fall on lines with slopes steeper than olivine control lines; SiO2, FeO, Na2O, K2O and Y show little systematic variation; Zr shows a large variation that does not correlate with MgO; and Al2O3 decreases markedly with decreasing MgO. The aberrant behaviour is highlighted by the REE (rare earth elements) in spinifex
and olivine cumulate layers from three flows: in the spinifex layers, chondrite-normalized REE patterns are hump-shaped with
maxima at Nd or Sm ((La/Sm)N=0.6, (Gd/Yb)N=1.6–2.3), whereas cumulate zones in the same flows have steadily sloping patterns, with LREE enriched relative to HREE ((La/Sm)N=1.3, (Gd/Yb)N=1.4). Neither normal magmatic processes acting during emplacement of the komatiites, nor thermal erosion and wall-rock assimilation
can explain these effects, and we speculate that elements commonly thought of as “immobile” (e.g. Al, Zr, REE) migrated during
hydrothermal alteration or metamorphism. A Pb-Pb whole rock isochron gave an age of 2,728±140 Ma and selected Sm-Nd analyses
an apparent isochron age of 2,825±98 Ma (ɛNd≈0). The Pb-Pb age is believed to be the approximate time of emplacement. Interpretation of the Sm-Nd data is complicated
by the evidence of mobility of REE. 相似文献

The concentrations of trace elements in apatite from granitoid rocks of the Mt Isa Inlier have been investigated using the laser‐ablation inductively coupled plasma‐mass spectrometry (ICP‐MS) microprobe. The results indicate that the distribution of trace elements (especially rare‐earth elements (REE), Sr, Y, Mn and Th) in apatite strongly reflects the chemical characteristics of the parental rock. The variations in the trace‐element concentrations of apatite are correlated with parameters such as the SiO2 content, oxidation state of iron, total alkalis and the aluminium saturation index (ASI). The relative enrichment of Y, HREE and Mn and the relative depletion of Sr in the apatites studied reflect the degree of fractionation of the host granite. Apatites from strongly oxidised plutons tend to have higher concentrations of LREE relative to MREE. Manganese concentrations are higher in apatite from reduced granitoids because Mn2+substitutes directly for Ca2+. The La/Ce ratio of apatite is well‐correlated with the whole‐rock K2O and Na2O contents, as well as with the oxidation state and ASI. Because apatite trace‐element composition reflects the chemistry of the whole rock, it can be a useful indicator mineral for the recognition of mineralised granite suites, where particular mineralisation styles are associated with granitoids that have specific geochemical fingerprints. 相似文献

Bacterial dissolution of fluorapatite as a possible source of elevated dissolved phosphate in the environment 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5

In order to understand the contribution of geogenic phosphorus to lake eutrophication, we have investigated the rate and extent of fluorapatite dissolution in the presence of two common soil bacteria (Pantoea agglomerans and Bacillus megaterium) at T = 25 °C for 26 days. The release of calcium (Ca), phosphorus (P), and rare earth elements (REE) under biotic and abiotic conditions was compared to investigate the effect of microorganism on apatite dissolution. The release of Ca and P was enhanced under the influence of bacteria. Apatite dissolution rates obtained from solution Ca concentration in the biotic reactors increased above error compared with abiotic controls. Chemical analysis of biomass showed that bacteria scavenged Ca, P, and REE during their growth, which lowered their fluid concentrations, leading to apparent lower release rates. The temporal evolution of pH in the reactors reflected the balance of apatite weathering, solution reactions, bacterial metabolism, and potentially secondary precipitation, which was implied in the variety of REE patterns in the biotic and abiotic reactors. Light rare earth elements (LREE) were preferentially adsorbed to cell surfaces, whereas heavy rare earth elements (HREE) were retained in the fluid phase. Decoupling of LREE and HREE could possibly be due to preferential release of HREE from apatite or selective secondary precipitation of LREE enriched phosphates, especially in the presence of bacteria. When corrected for intracellular concentrations, both biotic reactors showed high P and REE release compared with the abiotic control. We speculate that lack of this correction explains the conflicting findings about the role of bacteria in mineral weathering rates. The observation that bacteria enhance the release rates of P and REE from apatite could account for some of the phosphorus burden and metal pollution in aquatic environments. 相似文献

Major element compositions and rare-earth element (REE) and transition element(Ni,Cr and V) abundances have been determined on 44 basalt samples from eastern China.These basalts have SiO2 contents ranging from 38.63 to 55.24(wt.%),and Na2O K2O from 3.1 to 9.4(wt.%).Ni and Cr abundances are largely variable,respectively falling in ranges 60-605 and 78-1150 ppm.REE abundances,especially light rare-earth elements(LREE), are highly variable.La/Sm and La/Yb ratios vary 2.8 to 7.6 and 1.8 to 8.1. Although the segregation mainly of olivine and clinopyroxene is requested to account for the vari-able and low MgO,CaO/Al2O3,Cr and Ni characteristic of these basalts studied here,the differ-ences in REE composition of the basalts are still related mainly to the partial melting process.Obvious varations in REE abundances could be principally attributed to the partial melting process.Obvious variations in REE abundances could be principally attributed to the partial melting processes that took place at different depths,in spite of some variations caused by the fractional crystallization processes.REE abundances and La/Sm and La/Yb ratios systematically decrease with increasing SiO2,which probably indicated that the basaltic magma derived from a deeper level has higher LREE and LREE/HREE ratios than that from a shallower level.As viewed from the fact that the D^Yb/D^La ratios of clinopyroxenes in the basaltic system increase with increasing pressure,the increase of LREE/HUEE ratios with increasing melting depth can be interpreted as the pressure dependence of bulk D^HREE/D^LREE ratios of silicate minerals,in addition to the pressure control over the melting degree. 相似文献

In western part of the CEIM (Central-East Iranian Microcontinent) (Bayazeh area, Isfahan province, Iran), a series of Paleozoic
basaltic rocks, occur. Major minerals of these basalts are olivine, clinopyroxene (diopside, augite), plagioclase (albite),
sanidine, amphibole (kaersutite), phlogopite, ilmenite and magnetite. Secondary minerals include epidote, pumpellyite, albite,
calcite and chlorite. Olivine and clinopyroxene are as phenocryst, while feldspars are restricted to groundmass. Chemical
composition of clinopyroxenes indicates crystallization during ascending of magma. Geochemical analysis of whole rock samples
shows that these rocks are characterized by low SiO2 (43.21–48.45 wt %), high TiO2 (1.81–3.00 wt %) and P2O5 (0.18–0.34 wt %). Petrography, chemistry of clinopyroxenes and whole rock analyses reveal an alkaline nature of these basalts.
They are enriched in alkalis (Na2O + K2O = 4.1–7.7 wt %), LILE, HFSE and LREE. The Bayazeh alkali-basalts present strong enrichment in LREE relative to HREE (La/Lu
ratio = 77.6–119.6) and were dominantly derived from partial melting of a metasomatized asthenospheric garnet-amphibole lherzolite.
Field relationships reveal that junction of faults in west of the Bayazeh prepared a suitable path for ascending of magma
from deep regions to surface and intra-plate continental magmatism. The Paleo-Tethys subduction from lower to upper Paleozoic
is too enough for mantle enrichment in volatiles and basaltic alkaline magmatisrn in upper Paleozoic of Bayazeh area. 相似文献

Olivine, low-Ca pyroxene, diopside, and spinel from a suite of protogranular lherzolite xenoliths from southeastern Australia
have been analysed for their major and trace element compositions using electron microprobe and laser ablation ICPMS. Bulk
compositions of the lherzolites range from fertile (12–13% modal diopside) to depleted (2–3% modal diopside), with equilibration
temperatures of 850–900 °C indicating entrainment of these lherzolites from relatively shallow depths (probably ≤ 35 km) within
the lithosphere. Mineral compositions and abundances indicate a primary control by partial melting, with decreasing abundance
of modal diopside accompanied by increasing Mg# of olivine and pyroxene, decreasing Al and Ti contents of diopside, increasing
Ni contents of olivine, and increasing Cr/Al of spinel. HREE, Y, and Ga in diopside also follow melting trends, decreasing
in concentration with increasing Mg#. In contrast, highly incompatible elements such as LREE, Nb, and Th reveal divergent
behaviour that cannot be ascribed entirely to partial melting. Diopsides from the fertile lherzolites have mantle-normalized
patterns that are depleted in Th, Nb, and the LREE relative to Y and the HREE, whereas, diopsides from the cpx-poor samples
are strongly enriched in Th, Nb and the LREE, and have elevated Sm/Hf and Zr/Hf, and low Ti/Nb. All diopsides have strongly
negative Nb anomalies relative to Th and the LREE. Trace element patterns of diopside in the fertile lherzolites can be reproduced
by ≤ 5% batch melting of a primitive source. The negative Nb anomalies are a consequence of this melting, and do not require
special conditions or tectonic environments. The low concentrations of Y and HREE in diopside from the cpx-poor lherzolites
cannot be produced by realistic degrees of batch melting, but can be accomplished by up to ∼20% fractional melting, suggesting
multiple episodes of melt depletion. Os isotopic compositions of these lherzolites show that the melt depletion events occurred
in the middle and late Proterozoic, demonstrating the long-term stability of lithospheric mantle beneath regions of eastern
Australia. The LREE-enriched diopsides are well equilibrated and record metasomatic enrichment events that pre-date the magmatism
that entrained these xenoliths. Trace element patterns of these pyroxenes suggest a carbonatitic melt as the metasomatic agent.

The accessory minerals apatite and sphene are the main carriers of REE in alkaline rocks.Their chondrite-normalized REE patterns decline sharply to the right as those of the host rocks,In the patterns an obvious negative Eu anomaly and a positive Ce anomaly can be seen in apatite and sphene,respectively.Zircon from alkaline rocks is different in REE pattern,I,e,. a nearly symmetric“V“-shaped pattern with a maximum negative Eu anomaly.Compared with the equivalents from granites,apatite,sphene and zircon from alkaline rocks are all characterized by higher (La/Yb)N ratio and less Eu depletion,As to the relative contents of REE in minerals,apatite,sphene and zircon are enriched in LREE,MREE and HREE respectively,depending on their crystallochemical properties. 相似文献

The N–S trending, 2–4 km wide Ramagiri schist belt is made up of three blocks dominated by metavolcanic rocks, separated
and surrounded by granitic rocks of distinct characteristics. The metavolcanic rocks are tholeiitic in composition and are
very similar in their major element composition as well as in their abundances of some trace elements. However, the rare earth
elements (REE) require distinct sources. The rocks of the amphibolite facies eastern block have LREE depleted REE patterns
([Ce/Yb] = 0.7–0.9), requiring derivation from depleted mantle-like sources. The greenschist facies metatholeiitic rocks of
the central block have LREE enriched REE patterns ([Ce/Yb] = 3–6), reflecting the nature of their source(s). The Nd isotopic
data require that the LREE enriched nature could not have been attained significantly prior to its melting. The fine-grained,
upper greenschist facies metatholeiites of the western block have flat to slightly LREE depleted patterns ([Ce/Yb] = 0.8–0.95).
Minor fractional crystallization of rock forming minerals may relate a few samples to each other among samples from each of
the three blocks. Different extents of partial melting of distinct mantle sources have played a dominant role in the generation
of the parent magmas to the central versus eastern and western block metatholeiites.
The geochemical data suggest that the mantle sources were non-lherzolitic, and that these sources may have seen previous episodes
of melt addition and extraction prior to melting that gave rise to the parent melts to the rocks ∼2750 Ma ago. The REE data
indicate that while the sources of the eastern and western block rocks were similar to depleted mantle (ɛNd(
i
) about +2), the source of the central block rocks (ɛNd(
i
) about +3.5) were enriched in large ion lithophile element (LILE)-rich fluids/melts probably derived from subducting oceanic
crust. This and other trace element signatures point to magma extraction in tectonic settings similar to modern island arcs.
Subsequent to magma emplacement and crystallization, all the three suites of rocks were affected by interaction with low-temperature,
crustal derived fluids (ɛNd 2750Ma of about −8 to −12), probably during the accretion of the three blocks of the belt in the present form. The inferred source
characteristics, tectonic setting of magma generation and the crustal fluid processes seem to suggest that Phanerozoic-style
tectonic processes may have been important in the generation of Archean crust in the Dharwar craton.

Isotopic and geochemical data of the Zerenda series metamorphic rocks from the Kokchetav massif are reported. Some of these
rocks contain microdiamond inclusions in garnets and other indicators of ultrahigh pressure metamorphism (P > 40 kbar, T = 900–1000 °C). The diamond-bearing rocks exhibit distinctive geochemical characteristics compared to typical crustal rocks.
The REE patterns range from LREE depleted to slightly LREE enriched [chondrite normalized (La/Yb)N– 0.1–5.4] with a negative Eu anomaly. They are depleted in incompatible elements (e.g. Sr, Ba, U, Th) with respect to the
upper crust. In contrast non-diamondiferous rocks of the Zerenda series exhibit normal crustal geochemistry. All rocks of
the Zerenda series have very radiogenic lead isotopes. The measured μ values (238U/204Pb) compared with those calculated for the interval between crust formation and ultrahigh pressure (UHP) metamorphism suggest a decrease by factors of up to 200 during the UHP metamorphism. The Sm-Nd mineral isochrons from the diamond-bearing rocks and other rock types of the Zerenda series give
a Middle Cambrian (524–535 Ma) age of metamorphism. The Nd model ages show that crust formation occurred about 2.3 Ga ago.
Significant fractionation of Sm and Nd and loss of incompatible elements may be due to partial melting of the protoliths.
The Ar-Ar age determinations of secondary biotite and muscovite from the diamond-bearing rocks yield an age of 517 ± 5 Ma.
This cooling age requires a short time interval between UHP metamorphism and uplift to a crustal level. Ultrahigh pressure metamorphism might be a significant source of Pb for the mantle.
We propose that the radiogenic Pb of the oceanic array is the contamination traces of numerous UHP events. Beside the geological aspect we demonstrate a method of dating a high grade metamorphic terrain using Nd isotopes.
We compare whole rock isochrons and mineral isochrons and in this way get some insight into the behaviour of the Sm-Nd system
during very high grade metamorphic events.
