Orthopyroxene porphyroblasts zoned to interiors abnormally low in Al and Cr and containing numerous inclusions of olivine
occur in some spinel peridotite xenoliths from the Colorado Plateau. Rims of these orthopyroxene grains contain 2.5–3.0 wt%
Al2O3, consistent with equilibration in spinel peridotite at temperatures near 850 °C, but interiors contain as little as 0.20
wt% Al2O3 and 0.04 wt% Cr2O3. The Al-poor compositions are inferred to have equilibrated in chlorite peridotite, before porphyroblast growth during heating
and consequent reactions that eliminated talc, tremolite, and chlorite. The distinctive orthopyroxene textures are inferred
to have formed during reaction of talc and olivine. Rare intergrowths of orthopyroxene plus diopside are attributed to olivine-tremolite
reaction. Al and Cr have gradients at grain rims that appear little modified by diffusion, but divalent elements are almost
homogeneous throughout the porphyroblasts. Judging from the relative gradients, diffusion of Ca was at least 100 times faster
than that of Al and Cr at the temperatures near and below 850 °C. Diffusion of Al and Cr was most effective along subgrain
boundaries, and along these boundaries it appears to have been at least ten times faster than within the lattice: diffusion
along such boundaries may be a dominant mechanism for re-equilibration of orthopyroxene at low mantle temperatures. Orthopyroxene
with similar low Al and Cr occurs in chlorite peridotite xenoliths from the Navajo field, 300 km east of the Grand Canyon
localities, and in spinel peridotite xenoliths from the Sierra Nevada, 500 km west across the extended Basin and Range province.
Chlorite peridotite may therefore have been a significant minor component in much of the mantle lithosphere of western North
America, although evidence for it would be erased at the higher temperatures recorded by xenoliths from the Basin and Range.
Chemical changes during hydration may have been important in the evolution of these mantle volumes, and the case for addition
of Sr is particularly strong. Dehydration reactions during heating could have influenced patterns of extension and crustal
magmatism.

Jurassic basanite necks occurring at the junction of two major fault zones in Scania contain ultramafic (peridotites, pyroxenites)
and mafic xenoliths, which together indicate a diversity of upper mantle and lower crustal assemblages beneath this region.
The peridotites can be subdivided into lherzolites, dunites and harzburgites. Most lherzolites are porphyroclastic, containing
orthopyroxene and olivine porphyroclasts. They consist of Mg-rich silicates (Mg# = Mg/(Mg + Fetot) × 100; 88–94) and vermicular spinel. Calculated equilibration temperatures are lower in porphyroclastic lherzolites (975–1,007°C)
than in equigranular lherzolite (1,079°C), indicating an origin from different parts of the upper mantle. According to the
spinel composition the lherzolites represent residues of 8–13% fractional melting. They are similar in texture, mineralogy
and major element composition to mantle xenoliths from Cenozoic Central European volcanic fields. Dunitic and harzburgitic
peridotites are equigranular and only slightly deformed. Silicate minerals have lower to similar Mg# (83–92) as lherzolites
and lack primary spinel. Resorbed patches in dunite and harzburgite xenoliths might be the remnants of metasomatic processes
that changed the upper mantle composition. Pyroxenites are coarse, undeformed and have silicate minerals with partly lower
Mg# than peridotites (70–91). Pyroxenitic oxides are pleonaste spinels. According to two-pyroxene thermometry pyroxenites
show a large range of equilibration temperatures (919–1,280°C). In contrast, mafic xenoliths, which are mostly layered gabbronorites
with pyroxene- and plagioclase-rich layers, have a narrow range of equilibration temperatures (828–890°C). These temperature
ranges, together with geochemical evidence, indicate that pyroxenites and gabbroic xenoliths represent mafic intrusions within
the Fennoscandian crust. 相似文献

A suite of large and fresh peridotite xenoliths from a picritetuff deposit in the Cenozoic Vitim volcanic field, {small tilde}200km east of Lake Baikal, shows a continuous gradation from protogranularspinel through garnetspinel to very abundant garnet peridotites.This includes composite nodules in which all these lithologiescoexist on the scale of a few centimeters. Garnet and many spinellherzolites are remarkably fertile in terms of their basalticmajor element contents (CaO 3037%, MgO 3740%,Ca/Al=11, Cr/Al<013), whereas some garnetspineland spinel peridotites are moderately depleted (Cr/Al 014045).T estimates are 850880C for the fertile spinel lherzolitesapparently brought up from shallow depths of 4050 km.This contrasts with 9801030C for depleted spinel peridotitesand 10001150C for the garnet-bearing peridotites forwhich equilibration pressures between 16 and 23 kbar are inferred.The data suggest that garnet and spinel peridotites coexistin the sub-Vitim mantle at a pressure of {small tilde}18 kbarover an interval of {small tilde}2 kbar, with the appearanceof garnet, and with the garnetto-spinel ratio in this transitionalzone primarily being controlled by bulk rock contents of Ca,Al, Cr, and Cr/Al ratios, in addition to PT conditions. The Vitim peridotites show little evidence for metasomatic enrichment:they commonly show depletion of LREE compared with intermediateREE; this includes also rare amphibole-bearing veins. The fertilespinel and garnet lherzolites have very similar bulk rock majoroxide contents and REE distribution patterns; these featuresindicate a lack of significant chemical vertical mantle stratificationin that region. Garnet peridotites from Vitim show large differencesin modal and chemical composition from garnet peridotite xenolithsfrom Yakutian and South African kimberlites, suggesting distinctlithospheric mantle structure and composition in Archean cratonsand post-Archean mobile belts.

Feldspar-bearing lherzolite xenoliths in alkali basalts from Hamar-Daban,southern Baikal region,Russia 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
D. A. Ionov Suzanne Y. O'Reilly Igor V. Ashchepkov 《Contributions to Mineralogy and Petrology》1995,122(1-2):174-190
Lherzolite xenoliths in Miocene to Pleistocene basalts from five sites in the Hamar-Daban range in southern Siberia provide
sampling of the mantle close to the axis of the Baikal rift. These anhydrous spinel lherzolites commonly have foliated fabrics
and spongy rims around clinopyroxene, and many contain accessory feldspar. The feldspar occurs in reaction zones adjacent
to spinel and orthopyroxene (where it appears to have been formed by the reaction: spl+opx+cpx+fluid →fs+ol) and less commonly
as thin, irregular veins. The feldspars have variable compositions but are generally alkali-rich; their K2O content ranges from 0.3 to 11.2% and is much higher than in plagioclase from orogenic lherzolites (usually <0.1% K2O). The temperature range for the Hamar-Daban xenolith suite (950–1010° C) is more restricted than for spinel peridotite xenoliths
from other occurrences in the Baikal area. The feldspar-bearing lherzolites yield equilibration temperatures similar to or
slightly lower than feldspar-free ones. The majority of the Hamar-Daban lherzolites are fertile and clinopyroxene-rich, as
for most other occurrences in the Baikal region. Trace element compositions of selected xenoliths and their clinopyroxenes
were determined by ICP-MS, INAA and proton microprobe. Feldspar-bearing xenoliths are enriched in alkalies indicating that
feldspar formation is associated with addition of material and is not simply due to isochemical phase changes. Most xenoliths
and their clinopyroxenes studied are depleted in light REE and have contents of Sr, Zr and Y common for fertile or moderately
depleted mantle peridotites. Few are moderately enriched in LREE, Sr, Th and U. Sr-Nd isotope compositions of clinopyroxenes
indicate long-term depletion in incompatible elements similar to unmetasomatised xenoliths from other occurrences south and
east of Lake Baikal. The formation of feldspar and of spongy aggregates after clinopyroxene, and the enrichment in alkalies
appear to be recent phenomena related to infiltration of an alkali-rich, H2O-poor fluid into spinel peridotites.

Melting and metasomatism in the continental lithosphere: laser ablation ICPMS analysis of minerals in spinel lherzolites from eastern Australia 总被引:28,自引:0,他引:28
Marc D. Norman 《Contributions to Mineralogy and Petrology》1998,130(3-4):240-255
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.

Ultramafic xenoliths are found in Kishyuku Lava, Fukue-jima, Southwest Japan. These include spinel lherzolite, harzburgite
and dunite, as well as pyroxenite. The compositions of the constituent minerals of the peridotite xenoliths are in the range
of upper mantle peridotites. Variable Cr/(Cr+Al) ratios (0.1–0.5) of spinel, together with a limited range in olivine composition
(Fo90–Fo92), indicate that the xenoliths are derived from slightly to highly depleted residual mantle. The combination of previously
published clinopyroxene-olivine geothermobarometry and clinopyroxene-orthopyroxene geothermometry applied to the xenoliths
yields a high geotherm of 1070° C at 1.0 GPa up to 1200° C at 2.2 GPa. Existence of such depleted upper mantle is compatible
with the existing model of asthenospheric injection during the rifting of the Northeast China and the Japan Sea. The high
geotherm is caused by thermal perturbation due to the injection of the hot asthenosphere and/or post-rifting uprise of mantle
diapirs since 11 Ma.

Quaternary basalts in the Cerro del Fraile area contain two types of mantle xenoliths; coarse-grained (2–5 mm) C-type spinel
harzburgites and lherzolites, and fine-grained (0.5–2 mm) intensely metasomatized F-type spinel lherzolites. C-type xenoliths
have high Mg in olivine (Fo = 90–91) and a range in Cr# [Cr/ (Cr + Al) = 0.17–0.34] in spinel. Two C-type samples contain
websterite veinlets and solidified patches of melt that is now composed of minute quenched grains of plagioclase + Cr-spinel + clinopyroxene + olivine.
These patches of quenched melts are formed by decompression melting of pargasitic amphibole. High Ti contents and common occurrence
of relic Cr-spinel in the quenched melts indicate that the amphibole is formed from spinel by interaction with the Ti-rich
parental magma of the websterite veinlets. The fO2 values of these two C-type xenoliths range from ΔFMQ −0.2 to −0.4, which is consistent with their metasomatism by an asthenospheric
mantle-derived melt. The rest of the C-type samples are free of “melt,” but show cryptic metasomatism by slab-derived aqueous
fluids, which produced high concentrations of fluid-mobile elements in clinopyroxenes, and higher fO2 ranging from ΔFMQ +0.1 to +0.3. F-type lherzolites are intensely metasomatized to form spinel with low Cr# (∼0.13) and silicate
minerals with low MgO, olivine (Fo = ∼84), orthpyroxene [Mg# = Mg/(Mg + ΣFe) = ∼0.86] and clinopyroxene (Mg# = ∼0.88). Patches
of “melt” are common in all F-type samples and their compositions are similar to pargasitic amphibole with low TiO2 (<0.56 wt%), Cr2O3 (<0.55 wt%) and MgO (<16.3 wt%). Low Mg# values of silicate minerals, including the amphibole, suggest that the metasomatic
agent is most likely a slab melt. This is supported by high ratios of Sr/Y and light rare earth elements (REE)/heavy REE in
clinopyroxenes. F-type xenoliths show relatively low fO2 (ΔFMQ −0.9 to −1.1) compared to C-type xenoliths and this is explained by the fusion of organic-rich sediments overlying
the slab during the slab melt. Trench-fill sediments in the area are high in organic matter. The fusion of such wet sediments
likely produced CH4-rich fluids and reduced melts that mixed with the slab melt. High U and Th in bulk rocks and clinopyroxene in F-type xenoliths
support the proposed interpretation. 相似文献

Hf isotope compositions and HREE variations in off-craton garnet and spinel peridotite xenoliths from central Asia 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Garnet-facies continental mantle is poorly understood because the vast majority of mantle xenoliths in continental basalts are spinel peridotite. Peridotite xenoliths from Vitim (southern Siberia) and Mongolia provide some of the best samples of garnet and garnet-spinel facies off-craton lithospheric mantle. Garnets in those fertile to moderately depleted lherzolites show a surprisingly broad range of HREE abundances, which poorly correlate with modal and major oxide compositions. Some garnets are zoned and have Lu-rich cores. We argue that these features indicate HREE redistribution after the partial melting, possibly related to spinel-garnet phase transition on isobaric cooling. Most peridotites from Vitim have depleted to ultra-depleted Hf isotope compositions (calculated from mineral analyses: εHf(0) = +17 to +45). HREE-rich garnets have the most radiogenic εHf values and plot above the mantle Hf-Nd isotope array while xenoliths with normal HREE abundances usually fall within or near the depleted end of the MORB field. Model Hf isotope ages for the normal peridotites indicate an origin by ancient partial melt extraction from primitive mantle, most likely in the Proterozoic. By contrast, an HREE-rich peridotite yields a Phanerozoic model age, possibly reflecting overprinting of the ancient partial melting record with that related to a recent enrichment in Lu. Clinopyroxene-garnet Lu-Hf isochron ages (31-84 Ma) are higher than the likely eruption age of the host volcanic rocks (∼16 Ma). Garnet-controlled HREE migration during spinel-garnet and garnet-spinel phase transitions may be one explanation for extremely radiogenic 176Hf/177Hf reported for some mantle peridotites; it may also contribute to Hf isotope variations in sub-lithospheric source regions of mantle-derived magmas. 相似文献

The Mineral Chemistry of Ultramafic Xenoliths of Eastern China: Implications for Upper Mantle Composition and the Paleogeotherms 总被引:21,自引:0,他引:21
Ultramafic xenoliths of garnet lherzolite (?rare spinel), spinellherzolites, spinel harzburgites, clinopyroxenites, and clinopyroxenemegacrysts were collected from Cenozoic basalts in all partsof eastern China. From their modal composition and mineral chemistryall the xenoliths may be placed into three types representing:a fertile or more primitive mantle (garnet lherzolite and spinellherzolite), a refractory or more depleted mantle (spinel harzburgiteand dunite), and inclusions cognate with the host alkali basaltsat mantle pressures (pyroxenite and megacrysts). There are systematicdifferences between the mineral compositions of each type. Spinelshows a wide compositional range and the spinel cr-number [100Cr/(Cr + Al)] is a significant indicator of the xenolithtype. Spinel cr-number and Al2O3 of coexisting minerals (spinel,clinopyroxene, and orthopyroxene) are useful as refractory indicatorsfor spinel peridotite in that the cr-number increases and thepercentage of Al2O3 decreases with increasing degrees of melting.In garnet peridotite, however, the same functions vary withpressure, not degree of melting. According to PT estimates,the various xenoliths were derived from a large range of depthsin the upper mantle: spinel peridotite from approximately 11to 22 kb (3766 km), spinel/garnet lherzolite from 19to 24 kb (6280 km), and garnet lherzolite from 24 to25 kb (7983 km). We conclude that the uppermost mantlebeneath eastern China is heterogeneous, with a north-northeastzone of more depleted mantle lying beneath the continental marginand a more primitive mantle occurring towards the continentalinterior. 相似文献

The redox state of the continental lithospheric mantle of the Baikal-Mongolia region 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

The thermal and redox state of the upper mantle beneath the Baikal-Mongolia region was estimated on the basis of the investigation
of the chemical composition (including iron oxidation state) of major minerals (olivine, orthopyroxene, clinopyroxene, and
spinel) in spinel and garnet-spinel peridotite xenoliths from the Cenozoic alkali basalts of the volcanic fields of the Dariganga
Plateau, Tariat Depression, and Vitim Plateau. At temperatures of 1030–1500°C and pressures of 29–47 kbar, the Δlog$

$

values relative to the FMQ buffer (calculated using the olivine-spinel oxygen barometer) range from −0.9 to −1.7 for the
xenoliths of the Dariganga Plateau, from −0.9 to −1.8 for the Tariat Depression, and from −0.8 to −0.1 for the Vitim Plateau.
The oxygen fugacity of peridotites from all of the areas is, in general, lower than that of the WM buffer. Oxygen fugacity
is usually below the CCO and EMOD/G buffers in the peridotites of the Dariganga Plateau and the Tariat Depression and higher
than these buffers in the peridotites of the Vitim Plateau. The T-PΔlog$

relationships in the xenoliths suggest the existence of spatial heterogeneity in the thermal and redox state of the upper
mantle of the Baikal-Mongolia region. This heterogeneity is probably related to the influence of the plume that was responsible
for the Late Mesozoic-Cenozoic intraplate magmatism of this region and reflects the different distance of the respective mantle
domains from the plume head. The C-O-H fluids in equilibrium with the upper mantle peridotites are composed mainly of water
and carbon dioxide. The mantle of the Dariganga Plateau and the Tariat Depression (Δlog$

< −0.9) is characterized by the dominance of H2O, whereas CO2-rich fluids are characteristic of the more oxidized mantle of the Vitim Plateau (Δlog$

Mantle xenoliths entrained in Quaternary alkaline basalts from the Turkana Depression in southern Ethiopia (the East Africa
Rift) were studied for their geochemical and Sr–Nd–Pb isotopic compositions to constrain the evolution of the lithosphere.
The investigated mantle xenoliths are spinel lherzolites in composition with a protogranular texture. They can be classified
into two types: anhydrous and hydrous spinel lherzolites; the latter group characterized by the occurrences of pargasite and
phlogopite. The compositions of whole-rock basaltic component (CaO = 3.8–5.6 wt%, Al2O3 = 2.5–4.1 wt%, and MgO = 34.7–38.1 wt%), spinel (Cr# = 0.062–0.117, Al2O3 = 59.0–64.4 wt%) and clinopyroxene (Mg# = 88.4–91.7, Al2O3 = 5.2–6.7 wt%) indicate that the lherzolites are fertile and have not experienced significant partial melting. Both types
are characterized by depleted 87Sr/86Sr (0.70180–0.70295) and high 143Nd/144Nd (0.51299–0.51348) with wide ranges of 206Pb/204Pb (17.86–19.68) isotopic compositions. The variations of geochemical and isotopic compositions can be explained by silicate
metasomatism induced by different degree of magma infiltrations from ascending mantle plume. The thermobarometric estimations
suggest that the spinel lherzolites were derived from depths of 50–70 km (15.6–22.2 kb) and entrained in the alkaline magma
at 847–1,052°C. Most of the spinel lherzolites from this study record an elevated geotherm (60–90 mW/m2) that is related to the presence of rising mantle plume in an active tectonic setting. Sm–Nd isotopic systematic gives a
mean TDM model age of 0.95 Ga, interpreted as the minimum depletion age of the subcontinental lithosphere beneath the region. 相似文献

Carbonate-bearing mantle peridotite xenoliths from Spitsbergen: phase relationships,mineral compositions and trace-element residence 总被引:11,自引:0,他引:11
D. A. Ionov Suzanne Y. O’Reilly Yuri S. Genshaft Maya G. Kopylova 《Contributions to Mineralogy and Petrology》1996,125(4):375-392
Carbonates of mantle origin have been found in xenoliths from Quaternary basaltic volcanoes in NW Spitsbergen. The carbonates
range from dolomite to Mg-bearing calcite and have high Mg-numbers [Mg/(Mg+Fe)=(0.92–0.99)]. In some samples they occur interstitially,
e.g. at triple junctions of silicate minerals and appear to be in textural and chemical equilibrium with host lherzolite.
Most commonly, however, the carbonates make up fine-grained aggregates together with (Ca,Mg)-rich olivine and (Al,Cr,Ti)-rich
clinopyroxene that typically replace spinel, amphibole, and orthopyroxene as well as primary clinopyroxene and olivine. Some
lherzolites contain amphibole and apatite that appear to have formed before precipitation of the carbonates. In situ analyses by proton microprobe show very high contents of Sr in the clinopyroxene, carbonates and apatite; the apatite is
also very rich in LREE, U, Th, Cl, Br. Disseminated amphibole in carbonate-bearing rocks is very poor in Nb and Zr, in contrast
to vein amphibole and mica from carbonate-free rocks that are rich in Nb and Zr. Overall, the Spitsbergen xenoliths provide
evidence both for the occurrence of primary carbonate in apparent equilibrium with the spinel lherzolites (regardless of the
nature of events that emplaced them) and for the formation of carbonate-bearing pockets consistent with metasomatism by carbonate
melts. Calcite and amorphous carbonate-rich materials occur in com- posite carbonate-fluid inclusions, veins and partial melting
zones that appear to be related to fluid action in the mantle, heating of the xenoliths during their entrainment in basaltic
magma, and to decompression melting of the carbonates. Magnesite is a product of secondary, post-eruption alteration of the
xenoliths.

Garnet-bearing mantle xenoliths have been recovered from Quaternary alkali basalts, both within and peripheral to the Hangay
dome of central Mongolia. Microfabric analysis and thermobaromery, combining empirical thermobarometers and the self-consistent
dataset of THERMOCALC, indicate that garnet websterites from the Shavaryn-Tsaram volcanic centre at the dome core were formed
in the spinel-lherzolite upper mantle at pressures of 17–18 kbars and temperatures of 1,070–1,090°C, whereas garnet lherzolites
were derived from greater depths (18–20 kbars). Garnet lherzolites from the Baga Togo Uul vents near the dome edge were formed
at 18–22 kbars under significantly cooler conditions (960–1,000°C). These xenoliths reveal reaction coronas of (1) orthopyroxene,
clinopyroxene, plagioclase and spinel mantling garnets; (2) spongy rims of olivine replacing orthopyroxene and (3) low-Na,
low-Al clinopyroxene replacing primary clinopyroxene. Trace-element abundances indicate that clinopyroxene from these coronas
is in chemical equilibrium with the host magma. The thermobarometric and textural data suggest that lherzolite xenoliths from
both sites were derived from depths of 60–70 km and entrained in magma at 1,200–1,300°C. The average rate of ascent, as determined
by olivine zoning, lies in the range 0.2–0.3 m s−1. The contrast in thermal profiles of the upper mantle between the two sites is consistent with a mantle plume beneath the
Hangay dome with elevated thermal conditions beneath the core of the dome being comparable to estimates of the Pleistocene
geotherm beneath the Baikal rift. 相似文献

Mantle xenoliths in within-plate Cenozoic alkaline mafic lavas from NE Spain are used to assess the local subcontinental lithospheric
mantle geotherm and the influence of melting and metasomatism on its oxidation state. The xenoliths are mainly anhydrous spinel
lherzolites and harzburgites and gradations between, with minor pyroxenites. Most types show protogranular textures, but transitional
protogranular–porphyroclastic and equigranular lherzolites also exist. Different thermometers used in the estimates provide
higher subsolidus equilibrium temperatures for harzburgites (1,062 ± 29°C) than for lherzolites (972 ± 89°C), although there
is overlap; the lowest temperatures correspond to porphyroclastic lherzolites, whereas pyroxenites give the highest temperatures
(up to 1,257°C). Maximum pressures for subsolidus equilibrium of peridotites are at 2.0–1.8 GPa. Later they followed adiabatic
decompression and harzburgites registered lower pressures (1.02 ± 0.19 GPa) than lherzolites (1.41 ± 0.27 GPa). One pyroxenite
gives values consistent with the spinel lherzolite field (1.08 GPa). The shallowest barometric data are in agreement with
the highest local conductive geotherms, which implies that the lithosphere–asthenosphere boundary is at 70–60 km minimum depth.
Higher equilibrium temperatures for the harzburgites could be explained by the existence of mafic magma bodies or dykes at
the lower crust–mantle boundary. Paleo-fO2 conditions during partial melting as inferred from the covariation between V and MgO concentrations are mainly between QFM−1
and QFM−2 in log units. However, most thermobarometric fO2 estimates are between QFM−1 and QFM+1, suggesting oxidation caused by later metasomatism during uplift and cooling. 相似文献

A suite of spinel peridotite xenoliths in Mesozoic basalts of the Tuoyun basin in the Tianshan area of northwest China has a high proportion of amphibole/mica-bearing lherzolites, with high Cpx/Opx ratios (mean 0.74). Many aspects of mineral chemistry in the Tuoyun peridotites are intermediate between those of refractory Archean cratonic mantle and fertile Phanerozoic mantle. These include Ni/Cr and the contents of transition metals and Y in olivine and orthopyroxene and the abundances of elements such as Na, Al, Ti, Y, Sr and LREE in clinopyroxene. The data suggest that the mantle in Tuoyun is moderately depleted in basaltic components relative to both the refractory Archean mantle and the fertile Phanerozoic mantle. The wide variations in the CaO/Al2O3 (0.9–3.5) of whole rocks and LREE/HREE (0.8–14.2) and Ti/Eu (971–5,765) of clinopyroxenes in the Tuoyun peridotites are interpreted as the metasomatism of hydrous carbonatitic and potassic melt or the cumulative effects of mantle metasomatism by different agents (carbonatite and small-volume silicate melts) through time. The Tuoyun mantle shows closer affinity to the type of mantle found beneath the Proterozoic Cathaysia block, and especially to that beneath the East Central Asia Orogenic Belt (ECAOB), than to the mantle beneath the Archean North China Craton. This implies that the Tianshan subcontinental lithospheric mantle may have been generated during the accretion of the ECAOB. The high proportion of fine-grained microstructures, high Cpx/Opx ratio, obvious Ca enrichment and lower overall depletion in the Tuoyun mantle relative to that in other parts of the ECAOB reflect stronger mechanical and chemical modification of the Tuoyun mantle, near the translithospheric Talas-Ferghana strike-slip fault, which played a major role in controlling the strength of the mantle lithosphere and has channeled the upwelling mantle. 相似文献

Occurrences, petrography and major element chemistry of lherzolite nodules are reviewed. Spinel-garnet stability relationships in these nodules are discussed and are shown to be controlled by chemical as well as physical (P/T) considerations. On the basis of a survey of spinel compositions it is proposed that three classes of spinel bearing lherzolite nodules should be recognised: namely Al-spinel lherzolites [spinel 100 Cr/(Cr + Al)<25], Cr-spinel lherzolites [spinel 100 Cr/(Cr + Al) 25–65] and chromite lherzolites [spinel 100 Cr/(Cr + Al)>65].All lherzolite nodules yield sub-solidus P/T equilibration estimates and are interpreted as fragments of upper mantle wall rocks incorporated during the volatile charged eruptions. Depths of derivation increase from < 60 kms for most nodules in alkali basaltic magmas to > 150 kms for some nodules in kimberlites. The fact that Al-spinel lherzolites are the most common nodule type in magmas of the alkali basalt suite whilst garnet lherzolites are dominant in kimberlites is attributed to the combined effects of a typically steeper geotherm in the mantle beneath areas of alkali basaltic volcanism and a shallower depth of origin for this type of magmatism. Al-spinel lherzolites do, however, occur in the kimberlites of the western U.S.A. and south-west Greenland in contrast to their apparent absence in the kimberlites of southern Africa and Yakutia, U.S.S.R. This suggests that the uppermost mantle beneath these latter regions (as represented by nodules of chromite lherzolites and chromite or Cr-spinel harzburgites) has a more refractory residual type composition with a higher Cr/(Cr + Al) ratio—although the evidence indicates an overall decrease in the level of depletion in ‘basaltic’ magma yielding constituents with depth. Lherzolite nodules generally have chemical compositions which are depleted in such constituents relative to the pyrolite model compositions for primitive or pristine mantle; nevertheless their composition range is thought to encompass both highly ‘depleted’ and essentially ‘undepleted’ upper mantle compositions.The fact that consistent temperature estimates can be obtained from the various calibrated element exchange reaction geothermometers for some lherzolite nodules but not for others (notably those with strikingly porphyroclastic textures) may indicate that some lherzolite nodules comprise mantle derived rocks which failed to totally re-equilibrate following the diapiric movements which immediately preceded their incorporation and rapid transportation to the surface. 相似文献

Thermal and petrological structure of the lithosphere beneath Hannuoba, Sino-Korean Craton, China: evidence from xenoliths 总被引:36,自引:0,他引:36

Deep-seated xenoliths entrained in the Hannuoba basalts of the northern Sino-Korean Craton include mafic and felsic granulites, mantle wall-rock from spinel– and garnet–spinel peridotite facies, and basaltic crystallisation products from the spinel-pyroxenite and garnet-pyroxenite stability fields. The mineral compositions of the xenoliths have been used to estimate temperatures and, where possible, pressures of equilibration, and to construct a geothermal framework to interpret the upper mantle and lower crustal rock-type sequences for the region. The xenolith-derived paleogeotherm is constrained in the depth interval of 45–65 km and like others from areas of young basalt magmatism, is elevated and strongly convex toward the temperature axis. Two-pyroxene granulites give the lowest temperatures and garnet pyroxenites the highest, while the spinel lherzolites fall between these two groups. The present-day Moho beneath the Hannuoba area is defined at 42 km by seismic data, and coincides with the deepest occurrence of granulite. Above this boundary, there is a lower crust–upper mantle transition zone about 10-km thick, in which spinel lherzolites and mafic granulites (with variable plagioclase contents) are intermixed. It is inferred that this underplating has resulted in a lowering of the original pre-Cenozoic Moho (then coinciding with the crust–mantle boundary, CMB) from about 30 km to its present-day position and was due to intrusions of basaltic magmas that displaced peridotite mantle wall-rock and equilibrated to mafic granulites. Trace element patterns of the diopsides (analysed by laser ablation-ICPMS) from the Cr-diopside series spinel lherzolites and associated layered xenoliths (spinel lherzolites and pyroxenites) indicate a fertile uppermost mantle with moderate depletion by low degrees of partial melting and little evidence of metasomatic activity. The similarity in major and trace element compositions of the minerals in both rock types suggests that the layered ultramafic xenoliths formed by mantle deformation processes (metamorphic segregation), rather than by melt veining or metasomatism. 相似文献

The oxidation state, reflected in the oxygen fugacity (fO2), of the subcratonic lithospheric mantle is laterally and vertically heterogeneous. In the garnet stability field, the Kaapvaal
lithospheric mantle becomes progressively more reducing with increasing depth from Δlog fO2 FMQ-2 at 110 km to FMQ-4 at 210 km. Oxidation accompanying metasomatism has obscured this crystal-chemical controlled depth-fO2 trend in the mantle beneath Kimberley, South Africa. Chondrite normalized REE patterns for garnets, preserve evidence of
a range in metasomatic enrichment from mild metasomatism in harzburgites to extensive metasomatism by LREE-enriched fluids
and melts with fairly unfractionated LREE/HREE ratios in phlogopite-bearing lherzolites. The metasomatized xenoliths record
redox conditions extending up to Δlog fO2 = FMQ, sufficiently oxidized that magnesite would be the stable host of carbon in the most metasomatized samples. The most
oxidized lherzolites, those in or near the carbonate stability field, have the greatest modal abundance of phlogopite and
clinopyroxene. Clinopyroxene is modally less abundant or absent in the most reduced peridotite samples. The infiltration of
metasomatic fluids/melts into diamondiferous lithospheric mantle beneath the Kaapvaal craton converted reduced, anhydrous
harzburgite into variably oxidized phlogopite-bearing lherzolite. Locally, portions of the lithospheric mantle were metasomatized
and oxidized to an extent that conversion of diamond into carbonate should have occurred.

Roles of Melting and Metasomatism in the Formation of the Lithospheric Mantle beneath the Leizhou Peninsula, South China 总被引:2,自引:1,他引:1

This study characterizes the nature of fluid interaction andmelting processes in the lithospheric mantle beneath the Yingfenglingand Tianyang volcanoes, Leizhou Peninsula, South China, usingin situ trace-element analyses of clinopyroxene, amphibole andgarnet from a suite of mantle-derived xenoliths. Clinopyroxenesfrom discrete spinel lherzolites exhibit large compositionalvariations ranging from extremely light rare earth element (LREE)-depletedto LREE-enriched. Trace-element modelling for depleted samplesindicates that the Leizhou lherzolites are the residues of amantle peridotite source after extraction of 111% meltgenerated by incremental melting in the spinel lherzolite fieldwith the degree of melting increasing upwards from about 60km to 30 km. This process is consistent with gradational meltingat different depths in an upwelling asthenospheric column thatsubsequently cooled to form the current lithospheric mantlein this region. The calculated melt production rate of thiscolumn could generate mafic crust 56 km thick, whichwould account for most of the present-day lower crust. The formationof the lithospheric column is inferred to be related to Mesozoiclithosphere thinning. Al-augite pyroxenites occur in compositexenoliths; these are geochemically similar to HIMU-type oceanisland basalt. These pyroxenites postdate the lithospheric columnformation and belong to two episodes of magmatism. Early magmatism(forming metapyroxenites) is inferred to have occurred duringthe opening of the South China Sea Basin (3215 Ma), whereasthe most recent magmatic episode (producing pyroxenites withigneous microstructures) occurred shortly before the eruptionof the host magmas (60·3 Ma). Trace-element traversesfrom the contacts of the Al-augite pyroxenite with the spinelperidotite wall-rock in composite xenoliths record gradientsin the strength and nature of metasomatic effects away fromthe contact, showing that equilibrium was not attained. Significantenrichment in highly incompatible elements close to the contacts,with only slight enrichment in Sr, LREE and Nb away from thecontact, is inferred to reflect the different diffusion ratesof specific trace elements. The observed geochemical gradientsin metasomatic zones show that Sr, La, Ce and Nb have the highestdiffusion rates, other REE are intermediate, and Zr, Hf andTi have the lowest diffusion rates. Lower diffusion rates observedfor Nb, Zr, Hf and Ti compared with REE may cause high fieldstrength element (HFSE) negative anomalies in metasomatizedperidotites. Therefore, metasomatized lherzolites with HFSEnegative anomalies do not necessarily require a carbonatiticmetasomatizing agent.
