Field observations together with petrochemical and geochemical data were used to develop the scheme and sequence of the formation of the Selitkan Zone, the largest volcanoplutonic zone of the Mongol-Okhotsk orogenic belt. Geochemically, this zone is subdivided into essentially andesite and rhyolite sequences associated with plutonic counterparts. All the rocks show negative Nb and Ta anomalies, enrichment in LREE and large ion lithophile elements (Ba, Rb, K, Th, U). They were presumably formed in a subduction setting in three stages: the amagmatic, magmatic andesitic, and magmatic rhyolitic. The entire process of the formation of the Selitkan volcanoplutonic zone lasted for 5 Ma.  相似文献

Analytical data are presented for the following elements: Cs, Rb, Ba, K, Sr, Ca, Na, Fe, Mg, Cu, Co, Ni, Li, Sc, V, Cr, Ga, Al, Si, La, Y, and Zr. Eight samples were analysed by the spark source method for rare earths, Tl, Pb, Hf, Sn, Nb, Mo, Bi, and In. In addition to data on rhyolitic volcanics, a small number of intermediate volcanics and eugeosynclinal sediments were analysed for comparative purposes. The following features are shown by the trace element data:
  1. The rhyolitic rocks have consistently lower concentrations of most trace and minor elements when compared with recent estimates of average concentrations in granites. None of the criteria for strong fractionation (e.g. low K/Rb, Ba/Rb and K/Cs ratios) are present.
  2. The data do not indicate any systematic differences between the rhyolitic lavas and ignimbrites, although the very young rhyolitic pumices are consistently more “basic” in their element concentrations compared to the other rhyolitic analyses.
  3. The residual glasses (and devitrified matrices) are depleted, relative to the total rock compositions, in Fe, Mg, Ca, Sr, V, Sc, and Al, and enriched in Cs, Rb, K, Ba, and Si. Zr is depleted in the residual glasses separated from rhyolites, but not in the andesitic residual matrices.
  4. The rare earth fractionation patterns of the rhyolitic and andesitic extrusives are very similar, being intermediate between chondritic and sedimentary patterns i.e., there is no evidence of strong fractionation. The rhyolitic patterns also indicate a slight Eu depletion.
  5. Comparable trace and minor element behaviour (with the possible exception of Zr) seems to exist through the rhyolite-andesite compositional range. This is supported by the whole rock-residual liquid trends for the various elements studied, which broadly coincide with the observed whole rock trends, both through the rhyolitic-andesitic compositonal range, and within the rhyolitic compositional range.
The data are finally discussed in the light of the possible origin of the rhyolitic magmas. It is believed that the analytical data presented are qualitatively consistent with the recently proposed idea that the magmas are derived by partial fusion of the associated Triassic-Jurassic eugeosynclinal greywacke-argillite sedimentary sequence.  相似文献

位于长江中下游的宣城水东地区发育一套酸性火山岩,主要由流纹质角砾岩、流纹岩和珍珠岩组成。本文对该套火山岩进行了详细的锆石U-Pb年代学、主量元素、微量元素以及Nd-Hf同位素研究。LA-ICP MS锆石U-Pb定年结果显示3种岩性的火山岩年龄分别为133.2±0.8、133.4±0.8和131.5±0.9 Ma。主量元素组成上,这套酸性火山岩具高硅(72.51%~81.79%)、富钾(K_2O/Na_2O=2.04~14.93,平均6.72)、贫钙镁(Ca O=0.19%~1.57%,Mg O=0.06%~0.29%)的特征,属于弱过铝质(A/CNK=1.02~1.24)的高钾钙碱性-钾玄岩系列岩石。微量元素方面,轻重稀土元素分馏明显[(La/Yb)_N=5.43~9.17],具明显的负铕异常(Eu/Eu~*=0.44~0.60),富集大离子亲石元素(LILE)Rb、Th、K和Pb等,亏损Ba、Sr、Nb、P和Ti等元素,表现出壳源的特征。全岩Sr-Nd和锆石Hf同位素组成变化范围相对较小,(~(87)Sr/~(86)Sr)_i为0.707 3~0.708 8,εNd(t)值为-7.05~-5.56,εHf(t)为-8.6~-1.3。结合区域地质研究成果,认为宣城水东地区酸性火山岩可能是在约135 Ma古太平洋板块俯冲作用之后的伸展-拉伸环境下,由新元古代早期新生地壳重熔而成。  相似文献

The Island Park-Mount Jackson series in the Yellowstone volcanic field, Wyoming (USA), is a suite of rhyolitic domes and lavas that erupted between the caldera-forming eruptions of the Mesa Fall Tuff (1.3 Ma) and the Lava Creek Tuff (0.6 Ma). Combined zircon U/Pb geochronology, Raman spectroscopy, oxygen isotopic and trace elemental compositions document storage conditions of these magmas between consecutive supereruptions. Based on comparison with co-erupted melt compositions and textural criteria, four zircon compositional groups are identified that record different stages along a continuous magmatic evolution from trace element-poor rhyolite at high temperatures to extremely fractionated rhyolite where zircon trace elements are highly enriched (e.g., >?1000 ppm U). These latter zircon domains are dark in cathodoluminescence images and show broadened Raman peaks relative to near-endmember zircon, indicating that substitution of non-stoichiometric trace elements into zircon leads to distortion of the crystal lattice. Some of these zircon domains contain inclusions of U-Th-REE-phases, likely originating from coupled dissolution–reprecipitation of metastable trace element-rich zircon in the presence of a fluid phase. Rhyolite-MELTS simulations indicate that at the conditions required to produce the observed enrichment in trace elements, a fluid phase is likely present. These findings illustrate that zircons can be assembled from a variety of co-existing magmatic environments in the same magma reservoir, including near-solidus volatile-rich melts close to the magmatic–hydrothermal transition.  相似文献

黑龙江省先锋北山金矿床地处完达山造山带西南段,矿体主要赋存在流纹岩、岩屑晶屑凝灰岩和流纹质角砾岩中。文章系统研究了与成矿密切相关的火山岩的地球化学特征,同时,对其进行了LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb测年。与成矿相关的火山岩(流纹岩、岩屑晶屑凝灰岩、流纹质角砾岩)表现出高硅、富碱,贫铝、镁、钙的特征,属碱性系列岩石;具有弱的Eu负异常;富集大离子亲石元素K、Rb、Th等;亏损高场强元素Ta、Nb、P、Ti等。同时,Ba、Sr、Eu等元素亦表现为亏损,具有典型的同碰撞环境的地球化学特征。LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb测年显示,流纹岩、流纹质角砾岩和石英闪长玢岩的206Pb/238U谐和年龄分别为(116.98±0.47)Ma、(116.98±0.42)Ma和(108.48±0.99)Ma。结合矿区侵入接触关系,限定先锋北山金矿床的形成时间介于(116.98±0.47)Ma~(108.48±0.99)Ma,即早白垩世晚期。该矿床的形成与太平洋板块的俯冲和佳木斯与完达山地块的拼合有着密切的关系,系古太平洋板块构造体制由挤压变为伸展背景下的产物。  相似文献

本文旨在通过分析苏门答腊岛苏里安斑岩型铜矿至苏利特河矽卡岩型铜矿成矿带中埃达克质侵入岩及矽卡岩的岩石学和地球化学特征,探讨其成因意义。该成矿带是巴东地区辛卡拉克湖以东地球化学异常带的主体部分,其绝大多数侵入岩浆体皆为为Ⅰ-型花岗岩复合体,相当于印支晚期同碰撞火山弧和燕山早期碰撞后岩浆侵入活动的产物。该成矿带内的埃达克质花岗岩和闪长斑岩(早侏罗世和早白垩世)具有低的Y、Yb含量、高的ΣREE含量和Eu正异常,在构造环境判别图上落在活动大陆边缘(ACM)火山弧环境中。埃达克质岩浆来源于俯冲洋壳板片部分熔融。然而,矽卡岩主量元素与岩浆岩侵入体相比,其CaO含量增多,SiO2、Al2O3、K2O以及Na2O含量降,REE普遍表现为Eu负异常。该成矿带内矿化矽卡岩与侵入岩的微量元素模式在蛛网图上显示某些相似性,但是二者的REE配分模式却不尽相同。矽卡岩的微量元素和稀土元素具有低Rb、Ba含量和K、Sr、P、Ti低谷,主要继承了原始岩浆和母岩埃达克质岩的共同特征。矽卡岩化是引起Ti、Yb、Y和REE总量降低的主导控制作用。  相似文献

The generalized stratigraphic sequence (20–21.8 m.y.)of the northern flank of the Tweed Volcano is: Beechmont Basalt(base)—Rhyolite (composed of two distinct units, the Springbrookand Binna Burra rhyolites)—Hobwee Basalt. In addition,comendite occurs as a postrhyolite intrusive phase. Chemicallyand mineralogically, the ‘basalts’ are tholeiiticandesites, which are conveniently divided into olivine-normativeand quartz-normative types. Phenocryst mineralogy is olivineand labradorite (microphenocrystic) in the olivine-normativelavas, and plagioclase plus rare augite in the quartz-normativelavas. Rhyolites (which constitute some 7 vol. per cent of the TweedShield volume) are of the potassic two-feldspar type; theseare characterized by highly fractionated trace element patterns,which are most extreme in the Binna Burra rhyolites. The latter,for example, have low K/Rb (<100) and La/Yb, highly depletedEu, Ba, Sr, V, Ni, Cr, and variably enriched Rb, U, Th, Pb,Nb, and Zn. Phenocryst phases are: quartz, oligoclase, sanidine,ilmenite, ferrohypersthene (Springbrook rhyolite), and quartz,sanidine, oligoclase, ilmenite, rare Fe-rich fluor-biotite,and very rare resorbed grains of extremely ulvöspinel-richtitanomagnetite (Binna Burra rhyolite). Phenocryst equilibrationtemperatures are estimated to be in the range 900–1050°C for the Springbrook rhyolite and 800–950 °Cfor the Binna Burra rhyolite, at oxygen fugacities in proximityto the WM buffer. The comendites are characterised by sanidine,quartz, fluor-arfvedsonite, minor acmite, and ilmenite. Pb isotopic compositions indicate at least two distinct groupsof mafic lavas; certain olivine-normative tholeiitic andesiteswith compositions less radiogenic than modern oceanridge basalts(possibly indicative of lower crustal contamination), and asecond more radiogenic group including the remaining isotopicallyanalysed tholeiitic andesites. Sr isotopes reveal small differencesbetween the Beechmont and Hobwee Groups. Pb and Sr isotopiccompositions of the three rhyolitic groups are distinct, andall more radiogenic than the mafic lavas. It is concluded that the tholeiitic andesites represent thefractionation products from an olivine-normative tholeiiticbasalt, and calculations suggest that olivine-plagioclase-aluminousclinopyroxene-Fe-Ti oxides were the likely fractionating mineralphases. The potassic rhyolites are interpreted also in termsof fractionation from a basaltic parent, although the geochemistryof the Binna Burra rhyolite has been further modified by continuedfractionation at the quartz-feldspar minimum. Chemical and mineralogicaldata, however, suggest some modification of the rhyolitic magmasby crustal equilibration (possibly lower crust). Although thecomendite is isotopically distinct from the exposed rhyolites,various least squares mixing calculations suggest that the comenditemay have developed by continued late stage quartz-feldspar ternaryminimum fractionation of rhyolitic magma.  相似文献

A follow-up surface lithogeochemical survey was implemented at North Mammoth Prospect, northeast Victoria, to investigate possible extensions to polymetallic vein mineralization outcropping as a 20-m-wide by 200-m-long gossanous zone in rugged, scree-covered terrain. The en-echelon pyritic veins contain subeconomic Sn, Cu, Pb, Zn, Ag and Au mineralization and occur within locally folded, fractured, brecciated and bleached metasediments adjacent to high-level, altered, quartz feldspar porphyry dykes. The dykes form part of the 3.5-km-long Mammoth Porphyry Complex. An orientation traverse across the mineralized zone and adjacent wall rocks over a 1300 m × 200 m area involved the collection of 27 rock chip samples (0.5–1.0 kg) that were analyzed for 20 major and trace elements by XRF and AAS methods. Acid soluble Sn and cxF were also determined. The results showed that the less mobile elements including Sn (total), Au, As (as the arsenate), Pb and Ba were most effective in outlining the mineralized zone. Major elements (K, Na, Fe, Ca, Mg), more mobile trace elements (Cu, Zn, Rb, Sr, cxF), acid soluble Sn and element ratios (K/Na, Fe/Mg, Rb/Sr, Zr/Y, Ti/Zr) were either difficult to interpret or failed to increase the anomaly size. The expanded lithogeochemical programme (130 samples from a 2.4-km2 area) showed that weakly to strongly anomalous Sn, Pb and As values outline a zone of mineralized and bleached metasediments east of the porphyry complex. A 750 m × 250 m halo of anomalous Sn values includes North Mammoth Prospect as well as possible strike extensions to the mineralized veins. Contrasting dispersions for Au and Ba may indicate a multiphase intrusive/mineralization history for the porphyry complex. Pervasive fracturing infilled by iron oxides in the host rocks has probably facilitated lithogeochemical trace element dispersion in the weathered zone.  相似文献

Phonolite and trachyte are the felsic magmas of the alkaline magma suites, which characterize the Canary Islands. The October 2011 submarine eruption off El Hierro, the westernmost island, nevertheless, produced a small volume of rhyolitic magma. The rhyolite occurred as highly vesicular, white coloured pumices enveloped in and mingled with darker coloured basanitic pumice. The basanitic pumice is relatively crystal poor with a few euhedral olivines (mostly Fo77–79), clinopyroxenes and Fe-rich spinels, whereas very rare olivine of same composition is found together with equally rare Fe-sulphide and FeTi-rich oxides in the rhyolite. The Fe–Mg exchange equilibrium in the oxides permits to calculate an equilibrium temperature of 970–890 °C for the rhyolite, in agreement with quartz-melt equilibrium at ca. 930 °C. A striking mineralogical feature of the rhyolite is the presence of rounded to contorted grains of milky quartz, which are xenocrysts incorporated and partly dissolved into the magma. Analyses of residual volatile concentrations in the glasses show that the rhyolite melt was highly degassed, whereas the basanitic glass still has important halogen concentrations. Trace element patterns of the mafic glasses and their elevated incompatible element concentrations are typical of the western Canary Island basanites. In contrast, the trace element composition of the rhyolite shows surprisingly low concentrations for all elements except the most incompatible ones (e.g. Rb, Ba, K and Th). All other measured LILE, HFSE and REE have significantly lower concentration than the basanitic counterpart that can be explained by fractionation of accessory phases (1 % apatite, 1 % sphene and 0.1 % zircon). Surprisingly, low U concentration is presumably related to elevated oxygen fugacity in the rhyolite, causing U to be in a hexavalent state, and fluxing of F-rich gas leading to volatilization of UF6, known to emanate at low temperature. The results suggest that a gas-rich basanitic melt remobilized a small volume of stagnant rhyolitic melt formed by incorporation of approximately 10 % quartz-rich sediment into a late differentiate of trachytic composition. Sediments at the interface of an old oceanic crust adjacent to a continental shield and younger volcanic island are likely to act as magma traps were sediment assimilation may alter the mantle-derived magma composition. Quartz assimilation thus explains the production of rhyolite magma in a volcanic island characterized by an alkaline magma series from primitive basanites to trachytes.  相似文献

Basaltic lava flows and high-silica rhyolite domes form the Pleistocene part of the Coso volcanic field in southeastern California. The distribution of vents maps the areal zonation inferred for the upper parts of the Coso magmatic system. Subalkalic basalts (<50% SiO2) were erupted well away from the rhyolite field at any given time. Compositional variation among these basalts can be ascribed to crystal fractionation. Erupted volumes of these basalts decrease with increasing differentiation. Mafic lavas containing up to 58% SiO2, erupted adjacent to the rhyolite field, formed by mixing of basaltic and silicic magma. Basaltic magma interacted with crustal rocks to form other SiO2-rich mafic lavas erupted near the Sierra Nevada fault zone.Several rhyolite domes in the Coso volcanic field contain sparse andesitic inclusions (55–61% SiO2). Pillow-like forms, intricate commingling and local diffusive mixing of andesite and rhyolite at contacts, concentric vesicle distribution, and crystal morphologies indicative of undercooling show that inclusions were incorporated in their rhyolitic hosts as blobs of magma. Inclusions were probably dispersed throughout small volumes of rhyolitic magma by convective (mechanical) mixing. Inclusion magma was formed by mixing (hybridization) at the interface between basaltic and rhyolitic magmas that coexisted in vertically zoned igneous systems. Relict phenocrysts and the bulk compositions of inclusions suggest that silicic endmembers were less differentiated than erupted high-silica rhyolite. Changes in inferred endmembers of magma mixtures with time suggest that the steepness of chemical gradients near the silicic/mafic interface in the zoned reservoir may have decreased as the system matured, although a high-silica rhyolitic cap persisted.The Coso example is an extreme case of large thermal and compositional contrast between inclusion and host magmas; lesser differences between intermediate composition magmas and inclusions lead to undercooling phenomena that suggest smaller T. Vertical compositional zonation in magma chambers has been documented through study of products of voluminous pyroclastic eruptions. Magmatic inclusions in volcanic rocks provide evidence for compositional zonation and mixing processes in igneous systems when only lava is erupted.  相似文献

Thick rhyolite sheets occur within the middle Palaeozoic cauldron subsidence complexes in Victoria. Well‐preserved eutaxitic and vitroclastic textures in the basal regions of the Rubicon, Jemba, and Ryans Creek rhyolites provide evidence of an ash‐flow origin. Subsequent recrystallization during cooling has masked these primary textures towards the central and upper parts of the rhyolitic sheets. All three rhyolites show dense welding throughout and the major zonation observed is in the degree of granophyric recrystallization.

Despite the turbulent ash‐flow emplacement and the possibility of post‐eruptive chemical modification, the mineralogical and chemical trends within vertical sequences in the Rubicon and Jemba Rhyolites are essentially continuous and represent the inverted variation within the original magma body. The bulk compositions of the rhyolites suggest that conditions of water saturation were closely approached or attained within the magma chamber. The chemical variation with increasing height and phenocryst content in the rhyolites can be summarized as: increasing K, Ca, Ba and Sr, and decreasing Na and Rb. Whereas this variation is in accord with frac‐tionation theories, it is more likely to have resulted from the partial fusion process believed to have been responsible for the generation of the acid magmas.  相似文献
