The partition of Si, Al, Ti, Fe3+, Mg, Fe2+, Mn, Ca and Na between coexisting Ca-rich and Ca-poor pyroxenes from a wide variety of igneous and metamorphic rocks have been investigated systematically. Many of the distributions, and especially those for the partition of Ti, Mg, Fe2+, Mn and Na, indicate characteristic trends for pyroxenes from the various petrologic groups identified. The partition of Mg, Fe2+ and Mn correlate with inferred cooling rates, the partition co-efficients of pyroxenes from extruded and other quickly cooled rocks most nearly approaching unity. In contrast, the partition of Si and Ti and the absolute amounts of Al may be related to the physicochemical conditions prevailing during original crystallisation; Ti being particularly relatively enriched in Ca-rich pyroxenes of ultramafic associations. The trends of the compositions of the Ca-rich pyroxenes plotted in the pyroxene quadrilateral also correlate with cooling rates and comparison with the limited data available on the phase relations of coexisting pyroxenes suggests that sub-solidus chemical readjustments have occurred in both phases.  相似文献

The separate distributions for MgSiO3 and FeSiO3 in coexisting pyroxenes from the Skaergaard and Bushveld intrusions and charnockites, which were introduced in an earlier communication, indicate directly that significant amounts of both Fe2+ and Mg were present in the M(2) site of the Ca-rich pyroxene at the temperature of final intercrystalline equilibration. The calculated Fe2+ M(2) site occupancy in the Ca-rich pyroxene increases markedly with decrease in total MgSiO3 content but the corresponding Mg site occupancy appears largely independent of MgSiO3. The mean value of the distribution constant for intracrystalline exchange in the Ca-rich pyroxene decreases, away from unity, with decreasing temperature of equilibration. Occupancy of Mg and Fe2+ in the M (2) site of the Ca-rich pyroxene effectively compensates for the expected variation in K D with composition resulting from intracrystalline partition in Ca-poor pyroxene, and this largely accounts for the difference in K D between igneous and metamorphic pyroxenes. The variation of the augite limb of the pyroxene solvus within the pyroxene quadrilateral is developed as a possible geothermometer.  相似文献

A general theory for the partition of elements between coexisting, multicomponent phases is outlined and applied to data for Ca-rich pyroxene (Cap) — Ca-poor pyroxene (Op) assemblages from the Skaergaard and Bushveld intrusions and from charnockites. The intercrystalline partition of Mg and Fe2+ are studied separately rather than through the exchange reaction, MgSiO 3 Cap +FeSiO 3 Op FeSiO 3 Cap +MgSiO 3 Op .The separate distributions for xMgSiO3> and xFeSiO3> are quite distinct and demonstrate directly that solutions of both Mg and Fe2+ in the two pyroxenes are nonideal.  相似文献

Glaucophane-lawsonite facies blueschists representing a metamorphosed sequence of basic igneous rocks, cherts and shales have been investigated northeast of the district of Tav?anli in Northwest Turkey. Sodic amphiboles are rich in magnesium reflecting the generally high oxidation states of the blueschists. Lawsonite has a very uniform composition with up to 2.5 wt.% Fe2O3. Sodic pyroxenes show an extensive range of compositions with all the end-members represented. Chlorites are uniform in their Al/(Al+Fe+Mg) ratio but show variable Fe/ (Fe+Mg) ratios. Garnets from metacherts are rich in spessartine (>50%) whereas those from metabasites are largely almandine. Pistacite rich epidote is found in metacherts coexisting with lawsonite. Phengites are distinctly higher in their Fe, Mg and Si contents than those from greenschist facies. Hematites with low TiO2 are ubiquitous in metacherts. Fe2+/Mg partitioning between chlorite and sodic amphibole is strongly controlled by the calcium content of the sodic amphibole and ranges from 1.1 for low calcium substitution to 0.8 for higher calcium substitution. The Al/Fe3+ partition coefficient between sodic amphibole and sodic pyroxene is 2.1. A model system has been constructed involving projections from lawsonite, iron-oxide and quartz onto a tetrahedron with Na, Al, Fe2+ and Mg at its apices. Calcite is treated as an indifferent phase. The model system illustrates the incompatibility of the sodic pyroxene with chlorite in the glaucophanelawsonite facies; this assemblage is represented by sodic amphibole. Sodic amphibole compositions are plotted in terms of coexisting ferromagnesian minerals. Five major areas on the sodic amphibole compositional field are delineated, each associated with one of the following minerals: chlorite, stilpnomelane, talc, almandine, deerite.  相似文献

The model for the thermodynamic properties of multicomponent pyroxenes (Part I) is calibrated for ortho- and clinopyroxenes in the quadrilateral subsystem defined by the end-member components Mg2Si2O6, CaMgSi2O6, CaFeSi2O6, and Fe2Si2O6. This calibration accounts for: (1) Fe-Mg partitioning relations between orthopyroxenes and augites, and between pigeonites and augites, (2) miscibility gap features along the constituent binary joins CaMgSi2O6-Mg2Si2O6 and CaFeSi2O6-Fe2Si2O6, (3) calorimetric data for CaMgSi2O6-Mg2Si2O6 pyroxenes, and (4) the P-T-X systematics of both the reaction pigeonite=orthopyroxene+augite, and miscibility gap featurs, over the temperature and pressure ranges 800–1500°C and 0–30 kbar. The calibration is achieved with the simplifying assumption that all regular-solution-type parameters are constants independent of temperature. It is predicated on the assumptions that: (1) the Ca-Mg substitution is more nonideal in Pbca pyroxenes than in C2/c pyroxenes, and (2) entropies of about 3 and 6.5 J/K-mol are associated with the change of Ca from 6- to 8-fold coordination in the M2 site in magnesian and iron C2/c pyroxenes, respectively. The model predicts that Fe2+-Mg2+ M1-M2 site preferences in C2/c pyroxenes are highly dependent on Ca and Mg contents, with Fe2+ more strongly preferring M2 sites both in Ca-rich C2/c pyroxenes with a given Fe/(Fe+Mg) ratio, and in magnesian C2/c pyroxenes with intermediate Ca/(Ca+Fe+Mg) ratios.The proposed model is internally consistent with our previous analyses of the solution properties of spinels, rhombohedral oxides, and Fe-Mg olivines and orthpyroxenes. Results of our calibration extend an existing database to include estimates for the thermodynamic properties of the C2/c and Pbca pyroxene end-members clinoenstatite, clinoferrosilite, hedenbergite, orthodiopside, and orthohedenbergite. Phase relations within the quadrilateral and its constitutent subsystems are calculated for temperatures and pressures over the range 800–1700°C and 0–50 kbar and compare favorably with experimental constraints.  相似文献

Electron-microprobe analyses of coexisting Ca-rich and Ca-poor pyroxenes from rocks of the Skaergaard intrusion indicate that their compositional relationships are controlled by two types of tie-line in the pyroxene quadrilateral. Solidus tie-lines join bulk compositions of pairs of pyroxenes that crystallized contemporaneously from a melt at equilibrium. Subsolidus tie-lines join the compositions of lamellae and host materials in pyroxene exsolution intergrowths. The solidus tie-line for a pair of pyroxenes in a specimen and their subsolidus tie-lines do not coincide and the subsolidus tie-line for inverted pigeonite is further from the hedenbergite-ferrosilite join of the quadrilateral than that for augite.The orientation of solidus tie-lines within the pyroxene quadrilateral indicates that during the simultaneous crystallization of two pyroxenes from the Skaergaard magma there was similar partitioning of Mg and Fe in the two phases relative to the melt. The relationship of the subsolidus tie-lines of a pair of coexisting pyroxenes to their solidus tie-line indicates that during the formation of exsolution intergrowths, changes in the composition of the pyroxene matrix involved primarily a change in its CaMg+Fe ratio while those of the lamellae involved both a change in their CaMg+Fe ratio and in their MgFe ratio. The MgFe ratio of the augite lamellae in inverted pigeonite progressively increased with cooling while that of the Ca-poor lamellae in augite progressively decreased with cooling.  相似文献

A model is proposed for the thermodynamic properties of multicomponent pyroxenes in the composition space defined by the end-member component CaMgSi2O6 and the exchange components Fe(Mg)-1, TiAl2(MgSi2)-1, Fe3+(Al)-1, Fe3+Al(MgSi)-1, and Mg(Ca)-1. It is formulated for the simplifying assumptions that: (1) a molecular mixing type approximation describes changes in the molar configurational entropy associated with the coupled exchange substitutions TiAl2MgSi2, Fe3+AlMgSi, and Al2MgSi (and their ferroan equivalents), and (2) Fe2+ and Mg2+, and Al3+ and Fe3+ display long-range non-convergent ordering between M2 and octahedral M1 sites, and octahedral M1 and tetrahedral sites, respectively. The molar vibrational Gibbs energy is described by a Taylor expansion of second degree in seven linearly independent composition and ordering variables, which is extended to third degree to account for asymmetry in the mixing of Ca and Mg, and Ca and Fe on the M2 site, and is further modified for the assumption that the standard state properties of Ca end-member components of clinopyroxenes are linearly dependent on the coordination number of Ca2+ on the M2 site. The model is shown to be consistent with miscibility gap feaures of pyroxenes in the system CaMgSi2O6–CaTiAl2O6–CaAl2SiO6. In subsequent papers, the model is calibrated for the simplifying assumptions that: (1) all regular-solution-type parameters are constants independent of temperature, (2) Pbca and C2/c end-members have identical heat capacities and coefficients of thermal expansion and compressibility, and (3) the heat capacities and coefficients of thermal expansion and compressibility are zero for all reciprocal reactions relating Pbca and pigeonite or high-calcium pyroxene C2/c endmember components.  相似文献

The interdependence of the Fe(Mg)–1 (e.g., FeO-MgO in silicate melt; CaFeSi2O6-CaMgSi2O6 in pyroxene) and TiAl2(MgSi2)–1 exchange reactions between silicate melts and coexisting Ca-pyroxene has been examined. High-calcium clinopyroxenes were grown in 1 atmosphere melting and crystallization experiments on rock powders spanning the composition range tholeiite to melilitite (1,0922+Mg2+ exchange and suggest that at given values of extent of Fe(Mg)–1 substitution is strongly coupled with the TiAl2(MgSi2)–1 substitution in pyroxenes near the five-component space CaMg(Si2O6-CaFe(Si)2O6-CaTi(Al)2O6-CaFe(Al,Si)2O6-CaAl(Al,Si)2O6. The inferred stabilization of Ti in iron-rich relative to magnesium pyroxene is consistent with the operation of Fe2+Ti4+ intervalence charge transfer interactions (e.g., Rossman 1980) and observations on zoning in natural titanaugites (e.g., Tracy and Robinson 1977). Although the rims of some pyroxenes grown in some melting experiments exhibit prominent zoning in TiAl2(MgSi2)–1, the average values of inferred from the compositions of these pyroxenes, together with those of the relatively homogeneous pyroxenes produced in crystallization experiments, exhibit a 11 correlation with values of derived from the solution model of Ghiorso et al. (1983) with a standard error of 750 calories. The Ti contents of Ca-rich pyroxenes crystallizing from a wide range of natural silicate liquids can therefore be predicted.  相似文献

Garnet-clinopyroxene geothermometry has been applied to numerous rock types from the blueschist and eclogite terrain of the Sesia zone in the Western Alps. Discrepancies in apparent temperatures of up to 600° C have been found suggesting substantial deviation from ideal behaviour of the garnet-clinopyroxene equilibria in certain assemblages. Assemblages containing jadeitic pyroxenes rather than omphacitic or diopsidic pyroxenes yield very low K D (2.0) values and correspondingly high apparent temperatures (> 1,000° C). The garnets coexisting with high-Na pyroxenes have compositions similar to those coexisting with omphacitic pyroxenes. Departure from ideal behaviour of these garnets is likely to be minor and is accomodated in the formulation of the geothermometer. Numerous examples of coexisting garnet-clinopyroxene pairs indicate that there is no obvious relationship of K D with jadeite content in pyroxenes with jadeite content less than 70%, but at higher values, K D varies inversely with the jadeite content. The dependence of K D upon the jadeite content in the high-Na pyroxenes is believed to be due to the preference of M2 sites for Fe2+ in the enstatite-jadeite substitution (Fe2+MgNa–1Al–1). This substitution is usually very limited and has no demonstrable effect upon X Fe Cpx when the M1 (Fe2++Mg) content of the pyroxenes is high as in omphacitic and diopsidic pyroxenes. However, when the M1 (Fe2++Mg) content is low, as in jadeitic pyroxenes, the non-ideality of the enstatite type exchange has a marked effect on X Fe Cpx and consequently on garnet-clinopyroxene calculations.  相似文献

A revised regular solution-type thermodynamic model for twelve-component silicate liquids in the system SiO2-TiO2-Al2O3-Fe2O3-Cr2O3-FeO-MgO-CaO-Na2O-K2O-P2O5-H2O is calibrated. The model is referenced to previously published standard state thermodynamic properties and is derived from a set of internally consistent thermodynamic models for solid solutions of the igneous rock forming minerals, including: (Mg,Fe2+,Ca)-olivines, (Na,Mg,Fe2+,Ca)M2 (Mg,Fe2+, Ti, Fe3+, Al)M1 (Fe3+, Al,Si)2 TETO6-pyroxenes, (Na,Ca,K)-feldspars, (Mg,Fe2+) (Fe3+, Al, Cr)2O4-(Mg,Fe2+)2 TiO4 spinels and (Fe2+, Mg, Mn2+)TiO3-Fe2O3 rhombohedral oxides. The calibration utilizes over 2,500 experimentally determined compositions of silicate liquids coexisting at known temperatures, pressures and oxygen fugacities with apatite ±feldspar ±leucite ±olivine ±pyroxene ±quartz ±rhombohedral oxides ±spinel ±whitlockite ±water. The model is applicable to natural magmatic compositions (both hydrous and anhydrous), ranging from potash ankaratrites to rhyolites, over the temperature (T) range 900°–1700°C and pressures (P) up to 4 GPa. The model is implemented as a software package (MELTS) which may be used to simulate igneous processes such as (1) equilibrium or fractional crystallization, (2) isothermal, isenthalpic or isochoric assimilation, and (3) degassing of volatiles. Phase equilibria are predicted using the MELTS package by specifying bulk composition of the system and either (1) T and P, (2) enthalpy (H) and P, (3) entropy (S) and P, or (4) T and volume (V). Phase relations in systems open to oxygen are determined by directly specifying the f o 2 or the T-P-f o 2 (or equivalently H-P-f o 2, S-P-f o 2, T-V-f o 2) evolution path. Calculations are performed by constrained minimization of the appropriate thermodynamic potential. Compositions and proportions of solids and liquids in the equilibrium assemblage are computed.  相似文献

Clinopyroxene with exsolved orthopyroxene and coexisting orthopyroxene with exsolved clinopyroxene (inverted pigeonite) in metaigneous rocks from the Adirondacks, New York, were experimentally homogenized at temperatures near those inferred for their original crystallization. The purposes were several: (1) to test the graphical two-pyroxene geothermometer of Lindsley (1983); (2) to test the hypothesis of Bohlen and Essene (1978) that these were originally igneous pyroxenes; and (3) to test whether modal recombination of complexly exsolved pyroxenes yields realistic compositions. Experiments on Fe-rich compositions at 930° and 870° C (1 GPa) are compatible with the graphical thermometer of Lindsley (1983); however, this graphical thermometer yields apparent temperatures approximately 50° C too high for experiments at 1050° C and 1100° C (0 MPa). This suggests that at intermediate Mg/Fe the augite isotherms for these temperatures lie at lower wollastonite compositions than shown by Lindsley. The results are, however, in good agreement with isotherms derived from the solution model of Davidson (1985). When these isotherms are applied to a variety of terrestrial and lunar igneous rocks and the metaigneous rocks from the Adirondacks, temperatures given by augite and pigeonite compositions from coexisting pairs are similar. Comparison of the experimentally homogenized compositions with modally recombined compositions of Bohlen and Essene (1978) show that discrepancies between augite and pigeonite temperatures may nevertheless arise if pyroxene grains formed by granular exsolution are not correctly reintegrated.  相似文献

Summary The results of microprobe analyses of clinopyroxenes from alkaline melasyenites and layered melagabbros, produced by intra-plate magmatism of Paleocene age at Punta delle Pietre Nere, are here given and discussed.The analysed pyroxenes range from diopsidic to acmite-rich compositions.The first crystallized pyroxenes (diopside) show AlVI contents suggesting shallow depths of crystallization. In addition pyroxenes from melasyenite and those from melagabbro display different Cr contents, Al/Ti and Mg/(Mg+Fe2++Fe3+) ratios confirming their crystallization from melts produced by different parental liquids.Diopsides and salites show an overall trend towards high Al, Ti and Fe3+, suggesting that the crystallization occurred under decreasing SiO2/Al2O3 ratios and under relatively highpH2O–pO2 conditions.Pyroxenes from the Pietre Nere melasyenite show a progressive variation towards acmite rich compositions at Mg/(Mg+Fe2++Fe3+) lower than 0.5; those from the layered melagabbro, instead, show a continuous enrichment in Ca Fe3+ AlSiO6. This different behaviour is due to the co-crystallization, with the latest pyroxenes, of phases with different K/Na and Si/Al ratios.
Kristallisations-Tendenzen der Pyroxene aus Alkali-Subvulkaniten auf Punta delle Pietre Nere (Gargano, Süditalien)
Zusammenfassung Es werden die Ergebnisse der Mikrosonden-Untersuchungen von Klinopyroxenen aus Alkali-Melasyeniten und schichtigen Alkali-Melagabbros, die durch Intra-plate-Magmatismus paläozenen Alters auf Punta delle Pietre Nere entstanden sind, beschrieben und erörtert.Die untersuchten Pyroxene reichen von diopsidischen bis zu Akmit-reichen Zusammensetzungen.Die zuerst kristallisierten Pyroxene (Diopsid) zeigen AlVI-Gehalte, die auf geringe Tiefe des Kristallisationsvorganges hinweisen. Dazu zeigen die Pyroxene aus dem Melasyenit und aus dem Melagabbro unterschiedliche Cr-Gehalte; die Al/Ti- und Mg/(Mg+Fe2++Fe3+)-Verhältnisse bestätigen deren Kristallisation aus Schmelzen, die aus unterschiedlichen Ursprungsmagmen stammen.Die Diopside und Salite zeigen eine einheitliche Tendenz zu hohem Al-, Ti- und Fe3+-Gehalt; dies deutet darauf hin, daß die Kristallisation unter abnehmenden SiO2/Al2O3-Verhältnissen und unter relativ hohenpH2O–pO2-Bedingungen stattfand.Die Pyroxene aus dem Punta delle Pietre Nere-Melasyenit zeigen eine zunehmende Änderung zu Akmit-reichen Zusammensetzungen bei weniger als 0,5 Mg/(Mg+Fe2++Fe3+); die Pyroxene aus dem schichtig differenzierten Melagabbro zeigen dagegen eine allmähliche Zunahme von CaFe3+AlSiO6. Dieses unterschiedliche Verhalten rührt daher, daß Mineralphasen mit unterschiedlichen K/Na- und Si/Al-Verhältnissen zugleich mit den zuletzt gebildeten Pyroxenen kristallisierten.

Fifteen pairs of coexisting pyroxenes from basic granulites associated with leptynites in the khondalite suite of rocks are analysed and the distribution of Mg and Fe2+ ratios is presented. Temperature estimates for the coexisting pyroxenes from the basic granulites of Visakhapatnam may be expressed as 750±100†C corresponding to intermediate pressure granulites.  相似文献

This paper reports experiments carried out at 1-atm under conditions of controlled oxygen fugacity, using natural andesites and andesite mixed with augite+synthetic pigeonite or augite+orthopyroxene. The experimental results are used (1) to investigate the controls of Mg# (Mg/[Mg+Fe2+]) and temperature on low-Ca pyroxene stability (pigeonite vs orthopyroxene), (2) to quantify the effects of variations in bulk composition on the position of multiple saturation boundaries in mineral component projection schemes and (3) to develop a thermodynamic model for silica activity for melts saturated with olivine and pyroxene. Over the Mg# range of 0.80–0.30 the minimum temperature of pigeonite stability in natural compositions is equivalent to the Lindsley (1983) boundary determined for pure Ca-Mg-Fe pigeonites. For the low variance, 5-phase assemblage oliv-aug-low-Ca pyroxene-plag-liquid, expressions involving liquid (Na2O+K2O)/(Na2O+K2O+CaO),Mg# and TiO2 content predict temperature and the movement of multiple saturation boundaries in pseudoternary projections in response to changing melt composition. The equilibrium for the low pressure melting of low-Ca pyroxene to olivine+liquid is formulated as a geothermometer and monitor of silica activity. Equilibrium constants estimated from thermochemical data and activities calculated for experimentally produced olivine and pyroxenes are used to develop a model for silica activity in liquid.  相似文献

Distribution coefficients (K D·Fe ++ –Mg) calculated for orthopyroxene-clinopyroxene pairs from 12 basic granulites of the Quairading district, Western Australia, range from 1.87 for magnesian pyroxenes (Opx Mg value=78.1) to 1.70 for iron-rich varieties (Opx Mg value 37.7). Field and petrographic evidence indicates that these pyroxenes have probably reached equilibrium within a narrow temperature range. In order to account for the observed variation of K D values it is suggested that one (or both) of the pyroxene structures is not the ideal Fe++-Mg solution proposed in the thermodynamic model of the pyroxene equilibrium exchange. After consideration of the geometry of the pyroxene cation sites, the relative bond energies of each site (especially crystal field stabilization energy) and structural ordering a model is proposed to explain the non-ideal behaviour of Fe++-Mg in the pyroxene system. The distribution pattern in low-iron pyroxenes will probably show Fe++ favouring the M 2·Opx site; competing unfavourably with Mg++ for the M 1·Cpxsite; and probably excluded by Mg++ from the M 1·Opxsite. As the iron content of the system increases the M 2·Opxsite will begin to become saturated with Fe++ and this ion will enter the M 1·Opx site. Further increases in the iron content of the system will cause the Fe++-Mg distribution to depend increasingly on the relative attraction of the M 1 sites of both pyroxenes. Of these sites Fe++ should show preference to the more distorted M 1·Cpxsite. The distribution coefficient reflects this swing towards a relative enrichment of Fe++ in the clinopyroxene by decreasing regularly with increasing iron content. It is likely that this downward trend will not become evident until the iron content of the M 2·Opx site reaches saturation. This would explain why the K D values for the magnesian pyroxenes remain practically unchanged until the orthopyroxene Mg value is approximately 60; from here on the iron-rich pyroxenes show a rapid decrease in K D value with increasing iron content.The Ca content of the pyroxenes is also significant since the Quairading pyroxenes show a marked increase in mutual solubility with increasing iron content. Calcium taken into the orthopyroxene structure will enter the M 2 site ahead of Fe++ so that this site will reach Fe++ saturation at a lower iron content than when the orthopyroxene is Ca-free.The application of K D values to the regional study of basic granulites, particularly when establishing relative temperature zones on the basis of K D variation, should only be attempted when pyroxenes which extend over a wide range of Fe-Mg content are available.  相似文献

Most of the Al3+ entering the pyroxenes does so by substituting for tetrahedral Si4+. This creates a charge imbalance that requires the simultaneous entry of Cr3+, Ti4+, Fe3+ or Al3+ into octahedral sites. Cr3+, because of its high crystal field stabilisation energy (CFSE), is the most important of these elements to enter the early-formed pyrosenes but it is replaced by Ti4+ later in fractionation when the Cr3+ content of the melt becomes depleted. The dependence of Cr3+ and Ti4+ on charge balance controls their partition between coexisting pyroxenes and olivines. Ca-rich pyroxene which contains more Al3+ than Ca-poor pyroxene also has more Ti4+ and Cr3+ whereas olivine, which contains negligible Al3+, has low Cr3+ and Ti4+. The Al3+ content of pyroxenes is influenced by changes in P, T, \(a_{{\text{SiO}}_{\text{2}} }\) and \(a_{{\text{Al}}_{\text{2}} {\text{O}}_{\text{3}} }\) of the magma and by the nature of the ion providing charge balance in the octahedral site. Of these \(a_{{\text{SiO}}_{\text{2}} }\) is dominant and variations in the Al3+ content of the Jimberlana pyroxenes correspond closely with the expected changes in the \(a_{{\text{SiO}}_{\text{2}} }\) of the melt. The substitution of divalent ions, such as Mn2+ and Ni2+, in the pyroxene lattice is by replacement of Fe2+ or Mg2+ in the octahedral M 3 and M 2 sites and is therefore independent of charge balance. If there are no size restrictions, the principal factor to be considered is the CFSE the ion receives in octahedral co-ordination. Ni2+, which receives a high CFSE, partitions strongly between the early-formed pyroxenes and olivines and therefore becomes depleted in the magma with fractionation. Conversely Mn2+, which receives zero CFSE, concentrates in the magma with fractionation and becomes a more important substitute in the later-formed pyroxenes. Its geochemical behaviour is controlled by its size. The narrow miscibility gap of the Jimberlana pyroxenes and the high En content of the Ca-poor pyroxenes at the bronzite pigeonite changeover suggest that these pyroxenes crystallised at a higher temperature than pyroxenes of comparable composition from other intrusions.  相似文献

Anorthosites, mangerites and charnockites from metamorphosed anorthosite massifs (the Adirondacks and elsewhere) commonly contain coarsely exsolved pyroxenes with substantial amounts of exsolved orthopyroxene (in clinopyroxene) and clinopyroxene (in orthopyroxene). Electron microprobe reintegration of such pyroxenes yields compositions which indicate that pigeonite and subcalcic augite coexisted before metamorphic reequilibration. Equilibration temperatures of 1100 °±100 °C for anorthosite and 1000 °C±100 °C for mangerites and charnockites are inferred from the solvus of Ross and Huebner (1975). These temperatures constrain minimum magmatic thermal conditions and suggest that the magmas were relatively dry. Exsolution lamellae of coarse pyroxenes and small equant coexisting pyroxenes (with little or no exsolution) yield temperatures of 750 °C, consistent with equilibration during granulite facies metamorphism. Relict igneous textures and compositions persisted through the metamorphic event due to dry P(H2O) P(solid) metamorphic conditions. The reintegrated pyroxene compositions provide a window through the metamorphism and yield constraints on the pre-metamorphic igneous events.Contribution No. 340 from the Mineralogical Laboratory, Department of Geology and Mineralogy, The University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, Michigan, 48109, U.S.A.  相似文献

Lithium abundances and isotopic compositions were measured by ion microprobe in individual grains of pyroxene, and in a few maskelynites and Ca-phosphates grains, from the Martian meteorite Northwest Africa 480 (NWA 480).In pyroxenes Li abundances are nearly constant from core to rim with concentrations ranging between 3 and 4 μg/g. In contrast, a significant isotopic zoning is observed with δ7Li values increasing within single crystals from ∼ −17‰ in the core to ∼ +10‰ in the rim, most of the variability being observed in the core. Plagioclase (now maskelynite) and phosphate crystals, which co-crystallized with the pyroxene rims, display similar δ7Li values. Because of the incompatible behavior of Li, the present constancy of Li concentrations within zoned pyroxenes rules out any simple crystallization model in a closed system for Li. The large Li isotopic variations observed within pyroxenes support this conclusion. There is no evidence in support of secondary alteration of NWA 480 to explain the Li isotopic variations, which thus most likely reflect magmatic processes on Mars. Degassing might explain the Li systematics observed in NWA 480 pyroxenes. Because Li has a strong affinity with water-rich fluids, a significant loss of Li from NWA 480 parental melt can happen upon melt emplacement and cooling. Such a Li loss could compensate the effect of crystal fractionation and thus help to maintain constant the Li content of the melt. Li isotopic fractionation is anticipated to accompany this process, 7Li being depleted relative to 6Li in the volatile phase. The magnitude of the isotopic change of the fractionating melts is difficult to predict because it depends on the value of the Li isotopic fractionation and on the amount of Li loss, but at first glance it seems consistent with the increase of δ7Li values observed in NWA 480 pyroxenes with increasing fractionation. The present data suggest that degassing prevailed not only during the crystallization of shergottites like Zagami and Shergotty, but also during the crystallization of the other types of basaltic shergottites.  相似文献

Pyroxenes and olivines from the earlier stages of fractionation of the Skaergaard intrusion (Wager and Brown, 1968; Brown, 1957) have been studied using the electron microprobe. The subsolidus trend for both Ca-rich and Ca-poor pyroxenes has been established, from the Mg-rich portion of the quadrilateral to the Hed-Fs join, together with the orientations of the tie-lines joining coexisting pyroxenes. For the Mg-rich Ca-poor pyroxenes, Brown's (1957) solidus trend has been modified slightly. From a study of a previously undescribed drill core, reversals in the cryptic layering have been found in the Lower Zone. The reversals are attributed to existence within the convecting magma chamber of local temperature differences. The Skaergaard magma temperatures are postulated to have passed out of the orthopyroxene stability field into the pigeonite stability field at EnFs ratios of 7228, for Ca-free calculated compositions, and specimen 1849, a perpendicular-feldspar rock, is interpreted as straddling the orthopyroxene-pigeonite transition interval. The cessation of crystallisation of Ca-poor pyroxene and the increase in Wo content of the Ca-rich pyroxene trend have been reexamined, and Muir's (1954) peritectic reaction (pigeonite+liquid=augite) has been confirmed. The composition at which Ca-poor pyroxene starts reacting with the liquid is postulated as Wo10 En36.7Fs53 3. It is suggested that the cessation of crystallisation of Ca-poor pyroxene is sensitive to the amount of plagioclase crystallising from the liquid.A complete series of accurate olivine compositions for the whole Skaergaard sequence is presented for the first time, including the compositions of the Middle Zone olivine reaction rims.  相似文献

Pyroxenes of the Bushveld Intrusion, South Africa   总被引：1，自引：1，他引：1  
ATKINS  F. B. 《Journal of Petrology》1969,10(2):222-249
New analyses are presented, for major, minor, and trace elements,of eleven Ca-rich pyroxenes, four bronzites, and two invertedpigeonites from the Bushveld layered basic intrusion. The twenty-threeanalyses now available are believed to represent the entireBushveld fractionation sequence. The Ca-rich pyroxene trendis from Ca45.4Mg49.6Fe5.0 to Ca42.7Mg0.6Fe56.8, the ferrohedenbergitesshowing no evidence of inversion from ferriferous ß-wollastonites.The Ca-poor pyroxene trend is from bronzite (Ca2.8Mg85.0Fe12.2)through pigeonites to ferropigeonites (approximately Ca3Mg27Fe55).All the pigeonitic pyroxenes have inverted to orthopyroxene. The compositional trends are remarkably similar to those ofthe Skaergaard pyroxene series, but the Bushveld sequence isthe most complete known for a single fractionated intrusion.The compositional and other variations of the pyroxenes, consideredtogether with those of the coexisting olivines and feldspars,leave little doubt that the Bushveld rocks originated by crystalaccumulation from a slowly cooled and fractionated intrusionof tholeiitic basalt magma. The slight but significant differences between the Bushveldand Skaergaard pyroxene trend characteristics can be explainedin terms of a displacement, in one intrusion as compared withthe other, of the liquidus and solidus surfaces relative tothe solvus and inversion surfaces in the system Wo—En—Fs.This may be due to minor differences in the initial magma compositionsof the two intrusions. Differences in the Mg/Fe ratios of Bushveldand Skaergaard coexisting pyroxene pairs are believed to bedue, at least in part, to the greater depth of the Bushveldmagma chamber. The Bushveld trends are briefly discussed in the light of recentexperimental studies on compositions within the Di-Hed-En-Fspyroxene quadrilate  相似文献
