Evidence is presented for a carbonate-immiscibility phenomena in the upper mantle based on data from a set of strongly metasomatized xenoliths in a basanitic lava flow from Fernando de Noronha Island (southwest Atlantic). A petrological and geochemical study of lherzolitic and harzburgitic xenoliths reveals that the oceanic mantle of this region has been affected by very strong carbonate metasomatism. The metasomatism led to wehrlitization of the primary mantle mineral assemblage (ol, opx, sp). The wehrlitization was the result of interaction between a possibly ephemeral sodic dolomitic melt or fluid with the mantle peridotite according to the following reactions, which include sodic components: 4MgSiO3+CaMg(CO3)2=2Mg2SiO4+CaMgSi2O6+2CO2 3CaMg(CO3)2+CaMgSi2O6=4CaCO3+2Mg2SiO4+2CO2 The olivine has abundant micro-inclusions consisting of Na-Al-Si-rich glass, Fe, Ni and Cu-monosulfide, Ca-rich carbonate and dense CO2. The interrelationships between the glass, sulfide and carbonate inclusions permit speculation that silicate, sulfide, and Ca-rich carbonatite melts were in equilibrium with each other and originated from partial melting of metasomatized and wehrlitized peridotite underneath Fernando de Noronha Island. These results support a two-stage model of Ca-rich carbonatite formation: first stage - metasomatic wehrlitization and carbonatization of mantle rocks; second stage - partial melting of the carbonate-bearing wehrlitic rock resulting in the formation of immiscible silicate, sodic carbonate and sulfide liquids and the ultimately generation of calciocarbonatites.  相似文献

Using experimental results at 1·0 GPa for the systemsCaO–SiO2, MgO–SiO2, CaMgSi2O6–SiO2 and CaMgSi2O6–Mg2SiO4,and all the currently available phase equilibria and thermodynamicdata at 1 bar, we have optimized the thermodynamic propertiesof the liquid phase at 1·0 GPa. The new optimized thermodynamicparameters indicate that pressure has little effect on the topologyof the CaO–SiO2, CaMgSi2O6–SiO2, and CaMgSi2O6–Mg2SiO4systems but a pronounced one on the MgO–SiO2 binary. Themost striking change concerns passage of the MgSiO3 phase fromperitectic melting at 1 bar to eutectic melting at 1·0GPa. This transition is estimated to occur at 0·41 GPa.For the CaMgSi2O6–SiO2 and CaMgSi2O6–Mg2SiO4 pseudo-binaries,the size of the field clinopyroxene + liquid increases withincreasing pressure. This change is related to the shift ofthe piercing points clinopyroxene + silica + liquid (from 0·375mol fraction SiO2 at 1 bar to 0·414 at 1·0 GPa)and clinopyroxene + olivine + liquid (from 0·191 molfraction SiO2 at 1 bar to 0·331 at 1·0 GPa) thatbound the clinopyroxene + liquid field in the CaMgSi2O6·SiO2and CaMgSi2O6·Mg2SiO4 pseudo-binaries, respectively.

Ultramafic xenoliths (harzburgite, olivine-orthopyroxenite,orthopyroxenite, websterite and clinopyroxenite) in a Plio-Quaternarystrombolian cone near Tissemt (Egg?r?, Hoggar, Algerian Sahara)contain large (up to 1 mm in diameter) euhedral flakes of graphite.These xenoliths are associated with mafic granulites free ofgraphite. Petrological, mineralogical, and geochemical dataindicate that these rocks have been scavenged from a Precambrianlayered intrusion emplaced in the deep crust. Textural evidencesuggests that the graphite could have crystallized relativelyearly from a silica-saturated melt: following cumulus crystallizationof olivine and orthopyroxene, the graphite crystallized, togetherwith olivine, orthopyroxene, and spinel, as a component of theintercumulus assemblage. The crystallization of graphite directlyfrom the melt is related to relatively high pressure (c. 5 kb)of carbon-rich fluid (CO+CO2+H2O) at relatively low oxygen fugacity(–logfo2, 10 at 1200 ?C).  相似文献

A new variant of the olivine-clinopyroxene-spinel oxygen barometer was developed on the basis of the equilibrium 3CaMgSi2O6(Cpx) + 2Fe3O4(Spl) = 3CaMgSiO4(Ol) + 3Fe2SiO4(Ol) + O2. Oxygen fugacity was estimated for the mineral assemblages of meymechites, olivine-bearing rocks of the Guli intrusion, and olivine and clinopyroxene microphenocrysts from interstitial glasses in mantle xenoliths containing metal alloys from Sal Island, Cape Verde Archipelago. It was shown that oxygen fugacity may vary in mantlederived magmatic systems by 7–8 orders of magnitude. Thermodynamic analysis showed that the low water activity in the lower part of the subcratonic lithosphere prevents the formation of hydrocarbons even at the presence of elemental carbon and low oxygen fugacity. The most probable mechanism of diamond formation is the reduction of carbonate components in the composition of near-solidus melts coming into the lithosphere from ascending mantle plumes.  相似文献

The Sybille Monzosyenite, associated with the Laramie AnorthositeComplex, consists of rocks ranging in composition from monzogabbroto monzosyenite. There is a continuous range of mineral compositionswith plagioclase varying from An45 to An25 and olivine fromFa75 to Fa98 Strongly ternary (Or, Ab, An all > 10 mol%)feldspars–presently mesoperthites–are found in allrock types and define a continuous trend also in the feldsparternary system. The mineral compositions suggest that the rocktypes of the Sybille Monzosyenite could be part of a singledifferentiation sequence; contamination of the later units byassimilation of, or admixture of partial melts from, countryrock is also likely. Original magmatic temperatures of approximately950–1050?C are indicated by estimated original compositionsfor pyroxenes and feldspars; pressure was near 3 kb, as indicatedby the most magnesian olivine that coexists with quartz. Oxygenfugacity of crystallization is estimated as 1.5 to 2.0 log unitsbelow FMQ by using the displaced equilibrium: SiO2 + 2Fe2TiO3= 2FeTiO3 + Fe2SiO4. Such oxygen fugacities are consistent withthe occurrence of graphite and CO2-rich fluid inclusions, whichsuggest that crystallization took place in the presence of aCO2 vapor phase. Temperatures indicated by the present mineralassemblages show that all geothermometers used were reset duringcooling, first by intergrain and then by intragrain processes.  相似文献

Experimental Melting of Carbonated Peridotite at 6-10 GPa   总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2  
Partial melting of magnesite-bearing peridotites was studiedat 6–10 GPa and 1300–1700°C. Experiments wereperformed in a multianvil apparatus using natural mineral mixesas starting material placed into olivine containers and sealedin Pt capsules. Partial melts originated within the peridotitelayer, migrated outside the olivine container and formed poolsof quenched melts along the wall of the Pt capsule. This allowedthe analysis of even small melt fractions. Iron loss was nota problem, because the platinum near the olivine container becamesaturated in Fe as a result of the reaction Fe2SiO4Ol = FeFe–Ptalloy + FeSiO3Opx + O2. This reaction led to a gradual increasein oxygen fugacity within the capsules as expressed, for example,in high Fe3+ in garnet. Carbonatitic to kimberlite-like meltswere obtained that coexist with olivine + orthopyroxene + garnet± clinopyroxene ± magnesite depending on P–Tconditions. Kinetic experiments and a comparison of the chemistryof phases occasionally grown within the melt pools with thosein the residual peridotite allowed us to conclude that the meltshad approached equilibrium with peridotite. Melts in equilibriumwith a magnesite-bearing garnet lherzolite are rich in CaO (20–25wt %) at all pressures and show rather low MgO and SiO2 contents(20 and 10 wt %, respectively). Melts in equilibrium with amagnesite-bearing garnet harzburgite are richer in SiO2 andMgO. The contents of these oxides increase with temperature,whereas the CaO content becomes lower. Melts from magnesite-freeexperiments are richer in SiO2, but remain silicocarbonatitic.Partitioning of trace elements between melt and garnet was studiedin several experiments at 6 and 10 GPa. The melts are very richin incompatible elements, including large ion lithophile elements(LILE), Nb, Ta and light rare earth elements. Relative to theresidual peridotite, the melts show no significant depletionin high field strength elements over LILE. We conclude fromthe major and trace element characteristics of our experimentalmelts that primitive kimberlites cannot be a direct productof single-stage melting of an asthenospheric mantle. They rathermust be derived from a previously depleted and re-enriched mantleperidotite. KEY WORDS: multianvil; carbonatite melt; peridotite; kimberlite; element partitioning  相似文献

Subsolidus and liquidus phase relations along the join MgSiO3—CaMgSi2O6have been determined from the results of dry and hydrothermalruns. Two-pyroxene mixtures which crystallize within the solvusin dry runs form cryptoperthites, and X-ray methods must beused to determine their compositions and locate the boundariesof the solvus. Mg-rich and Ca-rich pyroxenes can, however, bedistinguished in well-crystallized hydrothermal runs by opticaltechniques. The results obtained indicate that solid solution along thisjoin is more restricted than was found by Atlas (1952). Thesolvus intersects the solidus over a composition interval of42 wt per cent. Additional data on the rhombic enstatite protoenstatiteinversion are consistent with Atlas's value of 985??10?C. Thisinversion has proved to be very sensitive to pressure, and thedT/dP slope of the transition is 84??10?/kb. The crystallization of natural pyroxenes from basaltic magmasis reviewed in the light of the experimental data. The solidsolution shown by Fe-poor pyroxene pairs from layered intrusionssuch as the Skaergaard is remarkably restricted. The temperatureof crystallization of these pyroxenes as deduced from the solvuson the join MgSiO3—CaMgSi2O6 is about 1000? C. In makingthis estimate it is assumed that any subsolidus exsolution hasnot proceeded beyond the stage of lamellae formation. This temperatureis below the dry solidus of basalt, and the result indicatesthat either the solid solution shown by these natural pyroxenesis influenced by impurities such as Al or Fe', or the meltinginterval of the magmas which formed the intrusions was loweredby a substantial vapor pressure of H2O. It is suggested that pyroxenes which have crystallized fromextrusive basalts and which have compositions that plot in thecentral portion of the pyroxene quadrilateral are metastablesolid solutions formed by quick cooling. Available informationis not sufficient to clarify the relationship between pigeoniteand the various polymorphs of MgSiO3. It is probable, however,that there is a first-order inversion between pigeonite andprotoenstatite, and possible phase relations between these formsin the system MgSiO3—FeSiO3 are discussed.  相似文献

 The carbonation reaction CaMg(CO3)2 (dolomite)+2SiO2 (coesite)=CaMgSi2O6 (diopside)+2 CO2 (vapor) has been determined experimentally between 3.5 and 6 GPa in a multiple-anvil, solid-media apparatus. This reaction, a candidate for carbonation of eclogites (garnet+clinopyroxene) in the Earth’s mantle, lies at higher pressure for a given temperature than do the carbonation reactions for peridotites (olivine+orthopyroxene±clinopyroxene). A depth interval may exist within the Earth’s mantle under either ‘normal’ or ‘subduction’ thermal regimes where carbonated peridotite could coexist with carbonate-free, CO2-bearing eclogite.

The Agnew nickel sulfide deposit is spatially associated with a lenticular body of ultramafic rocks which shows a concentric zonation in metamorphic mineralogy. Olivine + tremolite + chlorite + cummingtonite ±enstatite assemblages occur at the margin of the ultramafic lens, giving way to olivine + anthophyllite, olivine + talc and olivine + antigorite assemblages successively inwards. These rocks are interpreted as having crystallized from komatiitic lavas, and exhibit a spectrum of compositions from those of original flow tops to pure olivine adcumulates. The relative modal abundances of metamorphic olivine, tremolite and chlorite reflect original proportions of cumulus olivine and komatiite liquid in the protolith. Peak metamorphic conditions are estimated at 550° C, based on garnet-biotite thermometry, at a maximum pressure of 3 kb. This temperature falls within the narrow range over which metamorphic olivine may co-exist with enstatite, anthophyllite, talc or antigorite depending upon the fugacity of water in the metamorphic fluid. The observed mineralogical zonation is therefore attributed to infiltration by CO2-rich fluids, generated by decarbonation of talc-carbonate rocks formed during pre-metamorphic marginal alteration of the ultramafic lens. Metamorphic fluids were essentially binary mixtures of water and CO2, with minor H2S having a maximum partial pressure less than 1 percent of total pressure. Enstatite-bearing assemblages formed in the presence of CO2-rich fluids at fluid: rock volume ratios close to one, while anthophyllite, talc and antigorite bearing assemblages formed in the presence of progressively more water-rich fluids at progressively lower fluid-rock ratios.  相似文献

We document compositions of minerals and melts from 3 GPa partialmelting experiments on two carbonate-bearing natural lherzolitebulk compositions (PERC: MixKLB-1 + 2·5 wt% CO2; PERC3:MixKLB-1 + 1 wt% CO2) and discuss the compositions of partialmelts in relation to the genesis of alkalic to highly alkalicocean island basalts (OIB). Near-solidus (PERC: 1075–1105°C;PERC3: 1050°C) carbonatitic partial melts with <10 wt%SiO2 and 40 wt% CO2 evolve continuously to carbonated silicatemelts with >25 wt% SiO2 and <25 wt% CO2 between 1325 and1350°C in the presence of residual olivine, orthopyroxene,clinopyroxene, and garnet. The first appearance of CO2-bearingsilicate melt at 3 GPa is 150°C cooler than the solidusof CO2-free peridotite. The compositions of carbonated silicatepartial melts between 1350 and 1600°C vary in the rangeof 28–46 wt% SiO2, 1·6–0·5 wt% TiO2,12–10 wt% FeO*, and 19–29 wt% MgO for PERC, and42–48 wt% SiO2, 1·9–0·5 wt% TiO2,10·5–8·4 wt% FeO*, and 15–26 wt% MgOfor PERC3. The CaO/Al2O3 weight ratio of silicate melts rangesfrom 2·7 to 1·1 for PERC and from 1·7 to1·0 for PERC3. The SiO2 contents of carbonated silicatemelts in equilibrium with residual peridotite diminish significantlywith increasing dissolved CO2 in the melt, whereas the CaO contentsincrease markedly. Equilibrium constants for Fe*–Mg exchangebetween carbonated silicate liquid and olivine span a rangesimilar to those for CO2-free liquids at 3 GPa, but diminishslightly with increasing dissolved CO2 in the melt. The carbonatedsilicate partial melts of PERC3 at <20% melting and partialmelts of PERC at 15–33% melting have SiO2 and Al2O3 contents,and CaO/Al2O3 values, similar to those of melilititic to basaniticalkali OIB, but compared with the natural lavas they are moreenriched in CaO and they lack the strong enrichments in TiO2characteristic of highly alkalic OIB. If a primitive mantlesource is assumed, the TiO2 contents of alkalic OIB, combinedwith bulk peridotite/melt partition coefficients of TiO2 determinedin this study and in volatile-free studies of peridotite partialmelting, can be used to estimate that melilitites, nephelinites,and basanites from oceanic islands are produced from 0–6%partial melting. The SiO2 and CaO contents of such small-degreepartial melts of peridotite with small amounts of total CO2can be estimated from the SiO2–CO2 and CaO–CO2 correlationsobserved in our higher-degree partial melting experiments. Thesesuggest that many compositional features of highly alkalic OIBmay be produced by 1–5% partial melting of a fertile peridotitesource with 0·1–0·25 wt% CO2. Owing to verydeep solidi of carbonated mantle lithologies, generation ofcarbonated silicate melts in OIB source regions probably happensby reaction between peridotite and/or eclogite and migratingcarbonatitic melts produced at greater depths.

Hydrogen solubility and hydroxyl substitution mechanism in olivineat upper-mantle conditions are not only a function of pressure,temperature, water fugacity and hydrogen fugacity, but are alsoinfluenced by silica activity. Olivine synthesized in equilibriumwith magnesiowüstite displays hydroxyl stretching bandsin the wavenumber range from 3640 to 3430 cm–1. In contrast,olivine in equilibrium with orthopyroxene shows absorption bandsin a narrower wavenumber range from 3380 to 3285 cm–1.The two fundamentally different spectra are assigned to hydroxylin tetrahedral and octahedral sublattices, respectively. Olivinein equilibrium with orthopyroxene is also less capable of incorporatinghydroxyl, relative to olivines in equilibrium with magnesiowüstite,by about a factor of ten. A comparison of spectra obtained aspart of this study with hydroxyl spectra of natural mantle olivinesshows that the latter display hydroxyl stretching patterns reminiscentof equilibrium with magnesiowüstite, although undoubtedlyolivine in the Earth’s mantle coexists with orthopyroxene.This may be attributed to a metasomatic overprint by a low-silicafluid and/or melt that was in reaction relationship with orthopyroxene.A likely metasomatic agent is a carbonatitic melt. When carbonatiticmelts decompose to oxides and CO2, they may temporarily imposea low-aSiO2 environment inherited by the olivine structure.If this suggestion proves true, Fourier transform IR spectroscopymay be used to fingerprint metasomatic episodes in the lithosphericmantle.

Sodic basalts of Oligocene-Early Micene age occur within anEarly Tertiary graben in the Oatlands district of Tasmania.They include olivine tholeiites, alkali olivine basalts, basanites,transitional nephelinites, nepheline hawaiites, and nephelinemugearites. They have compositional characteristics in commonwith sodic alkaline basalt suites from other parts of the world.With decreasing SiO2, concentrations of CaO, alkalis, P2O5,and incompatible trace elements increase. Compositional and experimental data for the basalts are consistentwith their derivation by polybaric partial melting of a garnetlherzolite source enriched in P2O5, light rare earths, Nb, andother incompatible trace elements. Experimental data for a primitivenepheline basanite from the Oatlands district indicate thatconcentrations of H2O+CO2 need not have been more than 6?5 wt.%for the original basanite magma to have derived from an amphibole-bearinggarnet lherzolite source. In the case of more SiO2-undersaturatedolivine melilitites from the neighbouring Central Plateau, theexperimental evidence is consistent with either higher concentrationsof H2O+CO2 (approaching 14 wt.%), or higher pressures of origin(>35 kb). Petrographic and geochemical evidence suggeststhat the latter is the more probable of the alternatives.  相似文献

The equilibrium 3FeAl2O4 + 3Al2SiO3 = 5 Al2O3 (1) has been calibrated in the piston-cylinder apparatus. Experimentswere carried out using well-calibrated NaCl furnace assembliesand Ag80Pd20 capsules with oxygen fugacity buffered at or neariron–w?stite. The equilibrium is located at less than7?2 kb at 85O?C and between 8?0 and 8?2, 10?0 and 10?5, and12?0 and 12?2 kb at 900, 1000, and 1100?C, respectively. Experimentshave also been conducted to determine the effect of gahnite(ZnAl2O4) component in spinel on equilibrium (1). Graphite capsuleswere used with oxygen fugacity buffered at or near graphite-CO-CO2.The addition of zinc displaces the reaction to higher pressures.For hercyniteg86-gahnite14, the equilibrium is located between9?4 and 9?6 and 12?7 and 13?0kb at 900 and 1050?C, respectively.For hercynite70-gahnite30, the equilibrium is located between10?8 and 11?0 and 15?4 and 15?6 kb at 900 and 1050?C, respectively.The results indicate that hercynite-gahnite solutions are somewhatnon-ideal (WG = +6?54 kJ/mol at 900?Q assuming a symmetric regularsolution model. A thermobarometer based on equilibrium (1) is applicable inhigh-grade metapelitic rocks. Pressure/temperature estimatesusing this equilibrium agree with other well-calibrated thermometersand barometers. Failure of equilibrium (1) to intersect the equilibrium 3 FeAl2O4 + 5 SiO2 = Fe3Al2Si3O12 + 2 Al2SiO5 (2) indicates that the equilibrium corundum + quartz = sillimaniteis metastable at all pressures and temperatures. This impliesthat co-occurrences of corundum and quartz in granulites aremetastable.  相似文献

Equilibrium H2O pressure (PeH2O) was fixed at values less thantotal pressure (PT) in melting experiments on mixtures of 1921Kilauea tholeiite, H2O, and CO2 (58.5 mole per cent H2O, 41.5mole per cent CO2), buffered by Ni+NiO. New determinations ofthe beginning of melting of mixtures of 1921 Kilauea tholeiiteand H2O buffered by quartz+fayalite+magnetite were made at 2and 3 kb. Microprobe analyses of coexisting glass, clinopyroxene,?olivine, ?amphibole were determined for several runs. Decreasing H2O fugacity (fH2O) to about six-tenths the fugacityof pure H2O (f?II2O) raises the solidus and the upper stabilitylimit of plagioclase. Plagioclase and clinopyroxene coexistin equilibrium with liquid-a feature not observed in the pureH2O system. Amphibole is stable to about 970 ?C at 2 kb, 1025?C at 5 kb and 1060 ?C at 8 kb. The Al (VI)+Ti contents of theamphibole increase with P, yielding kaersutite at 1050 ?C and8 kb. Calculated modes for the condensed phases reveal large differencesin the amount of glass (liquid) present and large differencesin liquid composition below and above the breakdown temperatureof amphibole at 5 and 8 kb. Liquids coexisting with amphibole,clinopyroxene, olivine, and magnetite are dacitic near the solidusand silica-rich andesites around 1000 ?C at 5 and 8 kb. Theresults of this study substantiate the model for the generationof the calc-alkaline suite by partial melting of H2O-rich basalts.  相似文献

The system CaMgSi2O6CaAl2SiO6CaFeAlSiO6 has been studied in air at 1 atm. The phase assemblage at subsolidus temperatures in the CaMgSi2O6-rich portion is Cpx + An + Mel and that in the CaMgSi2O6-poor portion Cpx + An + Mel + Sp. At subsolidus temperatures the sigle-phase field of clinopyroxene increases with an increase in the CaFeAlSiO6 component of the system. The Al2O3 content of clinopyroxene, however, continues to increase beyond the single-phase field and attains at least 16.04 wt.% Al2O3 with 3.9 wt.% Fe2O3. The stability field of fassaite in the system over a range of pressures and oxygen fugacities has been estimated from data in the literature as well as the present data. The CaFeAlSiO6 content of fassaite is dependent on oxygen fugacity, but is not influenced by pressure. The stability field is strongly influenced by oxygen fugacity at low and high pressure, and decreases with decreasing oxygen fugacity. Clinopyroxenes in both volcanic and metamorphic rocks from various localities, when plotted on the CaMgSi2O6CaAl2SiO6CaFeAlSiO6 triangle, show that there is no compositional gap between diopside and fassaitic pyroxene in metamorphic rocks, and that the fassaitic pyroxene in alkalic rocks becomes richer in both CaAl2SiO6 and CaFeAlSiO5 components as crystallization proceeds. These results agree with those obtained in the experimental study.  相似文献

Field evidence from intrusive and effusive carbonatites supportsthe existence of calciocarbonatite magmas. Published experimentalevidence in the model system Na2O–CaO–Al2O3–SiO2–CO2indicated the formation of nearly pure (99%) CaCO3 immiscibleliquids from a carbonated silicate liquid. This evidence hasbeen used to support interpretations of extremely CaCO3-richcalciocarbonatite magmas, and immiscible liquids with compositionsof almost pure CaCO3 in metasomatized mantle peridotite andeclogite. Detailed phase relationships are constructed in themodel system, based on phase fields intersected by the joinNaAlSi3O8–CaCO3 (Ab-CC) at 1.0, 1.5, and 2.5 GPa between1100 and 1500C, and analyzed immiscible liquids. The miscibilitygap between silicate-rich liquid and carbonate-rich liquid intersectedby the join Ab-CC contracts considerably with decreasing pressure:2.5 GPa, between Ab10CC90 (by wt%) and Ab65CC35 above 1310C;1.5 GPa, betweenAb23CC77 and Ab43CC57 above 1285C; 1.0 GPa,not intersected. The liquidus piercing point between calciteand silicates becomes enriched in CaCO3 with decreasing pressure,from Ab80CC20 at 2.5 GPa to Ab47CC53 at 1.0 GPa. No immiscibleliquid contains more than 80% dissolved CaCO3, and all containat least 5% Na2CO3. A round CaCO3 phase exhibiting morphologysimilar to that displayed by immiscible liquid globules is determinedto be crystalline calcite under experimental conditions. Thetopology of the phase fields and field boundaries illustratesthe kinds of processes and controls existing in magmatic systems.Calciocarbonatite magmas cannot be produced by equilibrium immiscibilityprocess in the mantle. Carbonated silicate magmas in the crustyield residual calciocarbonatite magmas by fractionation alongthe silicate-calcite field boundary, reached either directlyfrom the silicate liquidus or more commonly via the miscibilitygap. Immiscible carbonaterich magmas when freed from the silicateparent cool down a sleep silicate liquidus until they reacha silicate-carbonate field boundary. There is no experimentalevidence for immiscible calciocarbonatite magmas with > 80%CaCO3, and calcite lapilli cannot be formed from 99% CaCO3 magmas.Sovites are surely cumulates.

Mineral paragenescs in the prehnite-pumpellyite to greenschistfades transition of the Karmutsen metabasites are markedly differentbetween amygdule and matrix, indicating that the size of equilibriumdomain is very small. Characteristic amygdule assemblages (+chlorite + quartz) vary from: (1) prehnite + pumpeUyite + epidote,prehnite + pumpellyite + calcite, and pumpellyite + epidote+ calcite for the prehnite-pumpellyite facies; through (2) calcite+ epidote + prehnite or pumpellyite for the transition zone;to (3) actinolite + epidote + calrite for the greenschist facies.Actinolite first appears in the matrix of the transition zone.Na-rich wairakites containing rare analcime inclusions coexistwith epidote or Al-rich pumpellyite in one prehnite-pumpellyitefacies sample. Phase relations and compositions of these wairakite-bearingassemblages further suggest that pumpellyite may have a compositionalgap between 0.10 and 0.15 XFe?. Although the facies boundaries are gradational due to the multi-varianceof the assemblages, several transition equilibria are establishedin the amygdule assemblages. At low Xco2, pumpellyite disappearsprior to prehnite by a discontinuous-type reaction, pumpellyite+ quartz + CO2 = prehnite + epidote + calcite + chlorite + H2O,whereas prehnite disappears by a continuous-type reaction, prehnite+ CO2 = calcite + epidote + quartz-l-H2O. On the other hand,at higher XCO2 a prehnite-out reaction, prehnite + chlorite+ H2O + CO2 = calcite + pumpellyite + quartz, precedes a pumpellyiteoutreaction, pumpellyite + CO2 = calcite + epidote + chlorite +quartz + H2O. The first appearance of the greenschist faciesassemblages is defined at both low and high XCOj by a reaction,calcite + chlorite + quartz = epidote + actinolite+ H2O + CO2.Thus, these transition equilibria are highly dependent on bothXFe3+ + of Ca-Al silicates and XH20 of the fluid phase. Phaseequilibria together with the compositional data of Ca-Al silicatesindicate that the prehnite-pumpellyite to greenschist faciestransition for the Karmutsen metabasites occurred at approximately1.7 kb and 300?C, and at very low Xco2, probably far less than0.1.  相似文献

Diamonds containing ferropericlase (Mg,Fe)O and other silicate (enstatite [(Mg,Fe)SiO3], in particular) assemblages are generally believed to be derived from the Earth's lower mantle. On the basis of the observed ratio between ferropericlase and enstatite inclusions and the FeO content of these ferropericlases, it is concluded that most of these minerals entrapped in diamonds may not represent the lithology of the lower mantle itself as has been suggested by many investigators. Instead, ferropericlases in these diamonds represent most likely the disproportionate product of ferromagnesite [(Mg,Fe)CO3], which underwent a decarbonation reaction to form both diamond and ferropericlase simultaneously in the lower mantle. The wide variation in the Mg# of ferropericlase inclusions in diamonds is attributed to the decarbonation "loop" of the MgCO3-FeCO3 solid solutions. Some of the enstatite inclusions coexisting with these ferropericlases in the same diamond may represent the most abundant mineral species of (Mg,Fe)SiO3-perovskite in the lower mantle. The latter mineral phase experienced a retrogressive transition into enstatite during the transport of diamonds to the Earth's surface.  相似文献

Two experiments were carried out at 20 kb pressure for the measurement of partition coefficients of ten lanthanides and barium between diopside clinopyroxene and liquid in the synthetic system diopside-enstatite-silica-H2O. Starting materials are glass of two different compositions CaMgSi2O6 56, MgSiO3 14, SiO2 30 weight % and CaMgSi2O6 80, MgSiO3 20 weight %.In the experiment on the former composition, the partition coefficient increases regularly with decrease of ionic radii from La to Dy and decreases also regularly from Dy to Lu. In the experiment on the latter composition, stepwise shift of partition coefficient was observed between Dy and Er.The results suggest that the lanthanide cations occupy the site of 8-fold coordination in the clinopyroxene and that the partition coefficients depend on the ionic radii of lanthanide elements and also on the chemical composition of the starting material or heating process during the run.  相似文献

The results of study of phase equilibria in the MgO–SiO2–ZrO2 system at 1450–1550°C are reported. The studied system contains two eutectic points and six fields: (I) MgSiO3 + SiO2; (II) MgSiO3 + ZrO2; (III) ZrSiO4 + SiO2; (IV) MgSiO3 + Mg2SiO4; (V) ZrO2 + MgO; (VI) ZrSiO4 + ZrO2. The presence of fields (II) and (III) on the diagram shows that zircon in equilibrium with olivine and pyroxene crystallizes at very low concentrations of ZrO2 in the system. This provides a solution for one of the most important problems in zirconology of dunites: the probability of the formation and preservation of zircon in the course of the formation and evolution of dunite.  相似文献
