The Fongen–Hyllingen Intrusion (FHI) is considered to have crystallised from stratified magma residing in a bowl-shaped magma chamber. Seven olivine-rich units, representing the most primitive cumulates in the central part of the intrusion, are associated with compositional reversals and are interpreted as having formed at the lowest part of the magma chamber floor. Based on phase-relationships, the crystallisation order is explained in terms of magma mixing and fractional crystallisation. Repeated influxes of small volumes of dense, primitive magma at the base of the chamber had a major impact on the crystallising assemblage on the local floor and a decreasing effect towards the flanks of the chamber. This was due to the small volume of replenishing magma, the geometry of the chamber and the consequent restriction of magma mixing to the deepest part of the chamber where the new magma was emplaced. It is estimated that the chamber floor sloped as little as 1–2°, but this was sufficient to give widely different cumulate sequences near the bottom of the chamber and on the flanks. 相似文献

Mechanisms of fractional crystallization with simultaneous crustalassimilation (AFC) are examined for the Kutsugata and Tanetomilavas, an alkali basalt–dacite suite erupted sequentiallyfrom Rishiri Volcano, northern Japan. The major element variationswithin the suite can be explained by boundary layer fractionation;that is, mixing of a magma in the main part of the magma bodywith a fractionated interstitial melt transported from the mushyboundary layer at the floor. Systematic variations in SiO2 correlatewith variations in the Pb, Sr and Nd isotopic compositions ofthe lavas. The geochemical variations of the lavas are explainedby a constant and relatively low ratio of assimilated mass tocrystallized mass (‘r value’). In the magma chamberin which the Kutsugata and Tanetomi magmas evolved, a strongthermal gradient was present and it is suggested that the marginalpart of the reservoir was completely solidified. The assimilantwas transported by crack flow from the partially fused floorcrust to the partially crystallized floor mush zone throughfractures in the solidified margin, formed mainly by thermalstresses resulting from cooling of the solidified margin andheating of the crust. The crustal melt was then mixed with thefractionated interstitial melt in the mushy zone, and the mixedmelt was further transported by compositional convection tothe main magma, causing its geochemical evolution to be characteristicof AFC. The volume flux of the assimilant from the crust tothe magma chamber is suggested to have decreased progressivelywith time (proportional to t–1/2), and was about 3 x 10–2m/year at t = 10 years and 1 x 10–2 m/year at t = 100years. It has been commonly considered that the heat balancebetween magmas and the surrounding crust controls the couplingof assimilation and fractional crystallization processes (i.e.absolute value of r). However, it is inferred from this studythat the ratio of assimilated mass to crystallized mass canbe controlled by the transport process of the assimilant fromthe crust to magma chambers.

The Marginal Border Series (MBS) of the Skaergaard intrusionconsists of rocks formed by in situ crystallization againstthe walls of the intrusion. Most of these rocks are productsof fractional crystallization, though samples believed to representchilled liquid occur locally at the intrusive contact. The MBScomprises only 5% of the exposed volume of the intrusion, butwithin its thickness, the order of crystallization and the compositionsof fractionated rocks and minerals vary systematically withdistance inward from the intrusive contact in largely the samemanner as rocks and minerals upward through the Layered Series(LS). Earliest differentiates are cumulates of olivine and plagioclase.The most basic compositions of cumulus plagioclase (An72) andolivine (Fo84) in these rocks indicate that the amount of fractionationpreceding formation of the exposed LS was substantially lessthat previously believed. Field and compositional data indicatethat picritic blocks are xenoliths rather than cumulates ofthe Skaergaard magma. Xenoliths of gneiss in all stages of reactionare locally abundant; however, there is no evidence that uppercrustal material contaminated the magma from which the MBS cumulatesformed. Compositions of cumulus minerals in the MBS differ fromthose in comparable LS rocks. Cumulates in the lower marginscontain more calcic plagioclase, more magnesian augite in allbut the late differentiates, and more iron-rich olivine. Thecompositions of cumulus olivine and to a lesser degree thoseof other mafic silicates, were modified to more iron-rich compositionsby re-equilibration with relatively large amounts of interstitialliquid. The lower MBS and LS crystallized from the same magma, but fractionationoccurred at different rates on the walls and floor of the intrusion.The upper margin may have crystallized from a magma of modifiedcomposition and fractionated at rates different from that inthe lower margin and Upper Border Series (UBS). Crystals onthe floor and roof of the intrusion accumulated faster or moreefficiently than on the walls. At any given stage of fractionation,crystals also accumulated against all sides of the magma chamberat about the same rate. Either the rates of cooling, crystallization,and crystal retention affected accumulation rates locally asfunctions of rock type and geometry of the walls, or these rateswere largely independent of wall rock owing to buffering ofconductive heat loss possibly to an envelope of hydrothermalfluid circulating around the crystallizing magma. The appearanceor disappearance of cumulus minerals in the lower MBS occursat higher structural levels than in the LS and at lower structurallevels than in the UBS. These relationships together with cumulusmineral compositions indicate that magma at the margins wasalways somewhat less fractionated than that at the floor androof of the chamber. It is proposed that these relationshipsreflect the combined effects of liquid and crystal fractionationof the magma within largely independent convection systems inthe lower and upper parts of the chamber. 相似文献

The Punta Falcone gabbroic complex represents an evolved high-alumina basalt which rose from the mantle through the lower crust, and subsequently intruded a granite magma in middle crustal levels, during the calc-alkaline magmatic activity which took place in the Sardinian and Corsican islands in the Carboniferous. The gabbroic complex has a stratified sub-vertical structure, and consists of three zones developing from the bottom to the top of the magma chamber. An interaction zone can be recognized along contacts with the surrounding granite stock, and it is characterized by finer-grained and more evolved rocks than the interior of the gabbroic complex. Processes occurring in its interior zone have been substantially different from those occurring in its marginal interaction zone. Petrographical and geochemical features indicate that the differentiation of the interior of the gabbroic complex can be accounted for by low pressure, closed-system in-situ crystallization. The different gabbroic units represent mixtures between cumulus phases and trapped liquid. Plagioclase + pyroxenes, and successively plagioclase + calcic amphibole + oxides nucleated and grew in-situ on the floor and walls of the chamber. Floating of plagioclase towards the top of the magma chamber resulted in the accumulation of the denser liquid at the bottom. Compaction phenomena and convective fractionation processes permitted the development of the pile of cumulus crystals with their trapped liquid, and the migration of part of this evolved liquid towards the top of the magma chamber. On the basis of major and trace element modelling a mathematical artifice has been developed to evaluate cumulus-intercumulus processes that occurred in the interior of the gabbroic complex. Accordingly, the formation of the different units can be modelled by mixtures between the parental magma and different percentages of minerals formed during the first stages of crystallization. Contemporaneously with the differentiation of the interior zone, the envelope of fine-grained rocks enclosing and grading into the coarser inner part of the gabbroic complex experienced both chemical and physical processes. Chemical processes resulted in the evolution of the marginal interaction zone by crystal fractionation plus contamination by the acid magma. Physical processes were closely related to the thermodynamic instability of this marginal zone, and consisted of mingling and back veining phenomena which developed interdigitations of granite veins along contacts. In addition, an increase of the melt fraction of the granite magma, superheated by the latent heat of crystallization of the mafic magma, caused the occurrence of tilting of the mafic magma chamber, and resulted in the development of the sub-vertical structure of the gabbroic complex. 相似文献

Evolution of Holocene Dacite and Compositionally Zoned Magma, Volcan San Pedro, Southern Volcanic Zone, Chile 总被引：1，自引：2，他引：1
Volcán San Pedro in the Andean Southern Volcanic Zone(SVZ) Chile, comprises Holocene basaltic to dacitic lavas withtrace element and strontium isotope ratios more variable thanthose of most Pleistocene lavas of the underlying Tatara–SanPedro complex. Older Holocene activity built a composite coneof basaltic andesitic and silicic andesitic lavas with traceelement ratios distinct from those of younger lavas. Collapseof the ancestral volcano triggered the Younger Holocene eruptivephase including a sequence of lava flows zoned from high-K calc-alkalinehornblende–biotite dacite to two-pyroxene andesite. Notably,hornblende–phlogopite gabbroic xenoliths in the daciticlava have relatively low 87Sr/86Sr ratios identical to theirhost, whereas abundant quenched basaltic inclusions are moreradiogenic than any silicic lava. The latest volcanism rebuiltthe modern 3621 m high summit cone from basaltic andesite thatis also more radiogenic than the dacitic lavas. We propose thefollowing model for the zoned magma: (1) generation of hornblende–biotitedacite by dehydration partial melting of phlogopite-bearingrock similar to the gabbroic xenoliths; (2) forceful intrusionof basaltic magma into the dacite, producing quenched basalticinclusions and dispersion of olivine and plagioclase xenocryststhroughout the dacite; (3) cooling and crystallization–differentiationof the basalt to basaltic andesite; (4) mixing of the basalticandesite with dacite to form a small volume of two-pyroxenehybrid andesite. The modern volcano comprises basaltic andesitethat developed independently from the zoned magma reservoir.Evolution of dacitic and andesitic magma during the Holoceneand over the past 350 kyr reflects the intrusion of multiplemafic magmas that on occasion partially melted or assimilatedhydrous gabbro within the shallow crust. The chemical and isotopiczoning of Holocene magma at Volcán San Pedro is paralleledby that of historically erupted magma at neighboring VolcánQuizapu. Consequently, the role of young, unradiogenic hydrousgabbro in generating dacite and contaminating basalt may beunderappreciated in the SVZ.

The volcanic rocks of Aden, Little Aden, and Ras Imran, heredesignated as belonging to the Aden Volcanic Series, were eruptedthrough central-vent, strato-volcanoes about 5 m.y. ago. Inits major element chemistry the Aden Volcanic Series is intermediatebetween the alkaline and tholeiitic associations, and this isdemonstrated by comparing it with the alkaline suite of Hawaiiand the tholeiitic series of Thingmuli, Iceland. It is proposedthat the most acceptable ‘parental’ magma is a mildlyalkaline olivine basalt which, on fractionation, produced aseries ranging from trachybasalts through trachyandesites andtrachytes to rhyolites. These rhyolites are peralkaline as themolecular proportion of alumina is less than that of the combinedalkalis, and are comenditic as the series is poor in normativefemic constituents. Trace element data suggest that the peralkalinesilicic eruptives are chemically comparable with those of MayorIsland, New Zealand, where a mildly alkaline olivine basaltparent has also been postulated. Although the age of eruption of c. 5 m.y., given by K-Ar measurements,is entirely consistent with an age deduced from geomorphologicalcriteria, an 87Sr/86Sr versus 87Rb/86Sr isochron plot suggeststhat the series is related to a thermal event some 20-30 m.y.older than the age of eruption. As this earlier age correspondsdirectly to the age of the previous magmatic episode, the eruptionof the Yemen Trap Series, the upper part of which is petrologicallysimilar to the Aden Volcanic Series, and as the initial 87Sr/86Srratios suggest that the magma originated in the mantle, it isproposed that the most acceptable petrogenetic scheme, whichwould also explain the anomalously old Rb-Sr age, is: (a) Partialfusion in the upper mantle giving rise to the alkaline YemenTrap Series, (b) After the cessation of surface activity, alarge body of magma existed in the upper mantle and this magma,on crystallizing, fractionated to produce a layered sequence,(c) About 5 m.y. ago some event, either pressure relief or furtherthermal activity, resulted in the partial remelting of thisfractionated plutonic sequence and the liquids so formed reachedthe surface without significant mixing or chemical fractionation. 相似文献

Petrology of Rhyolitic and Mixed Magma Ejecta from the 1875 Eruption of Askja, Iceland 总被引：3，自引：0，他引：3
Volcanic activity in Askja central volcano and its fissure swarmin 1875 occurred in response to a crustal rifting episode inIceland, resulting in up to 70 km lateral flow of magma withinthe crust, caldera collapse and a plinian eruption of acid magma(0·2 km3 dense-rock equivalent). Petrologic studies ofthe predominantly rhyolitic and crystal-poor ejecta reveal thata complex array of other liquid compositions was also present,including icelandite (0.75 per cent) and basalt (1.9 per cent),as well as leucocratic xenoliths of trondhjemite type. Mineralgeothermometers indicate that the rhyolite evolved at 990 to1010 °C and 0·5 Kb PH2O, the icelandite at 1005 to1020 °C and at fO2 10–10 atm. and the basalt at 1140to 1170 °C. A petrologic model of Askja in 1875 consists of a density-stratifiedmagma chamber with a rhyolitic upper part and a lower part offerrobasalt, with an intervening layer of icelandite. The modelcalculations show that the icelandite can be derived from ferrobasaltby 50 per cent fractional crystallization, but one-stage fractionalcrystallization models cannot account for generation of theacid magma. Simple partial or complete fusion of the field-associatedtrondhjemite xenoliths cannot produce the acid magma. Instead,a more complex fusion, hybridization and fractional crystallizationmodel is presented, which is consistent with the available petrologicevidence. This model involves large-scale fusion of pre-existingtrondhjemite intrusions or reactivation of previously consolidatedroof-rock in the magma chamber followed by hybridization ofthe acid magma with 7 to 14 per cent basaltic magma. Finally,10 to 11 per cent fractional crystallization of the dacite hybridis required to produce the observed compositional range withinthe rhyolite ejecta. The 1875 explosive eruption was causedby the ascent of tholeiitic basalt magma from depth during crustalrifting. Influx of new basalt magma in 1874–75 triggeredconvective mixing and hybridization in the compositionally zonedmagma chamber. 相似文献

The Dufek intrusion is a stratiform mafic body, 24,000 to 34,000km2 in area and 8 to 9 km thick, in the Pensacola Mountainsof Antarctica. Textures, structures, magmatic stratigraphy,and chemical variation indicate that layered gabbros and relatedrocks of this body developed by accumulation of crystals thatsettled on the floor of a magma chamber. The major cumulus phasesin the exposed part of the intrusion are plagioclase, pyroxene,and iron-titanium oxides. The base of the Dufek intrusion is not exposed, and both Ca-richand Ca-poor pyroxene coexist as cumulus phases in the lowerexposed rocks. The Ca-rich pyroxenes belong to an augite-ferroaugiteseries (Ca36.4Mg48.7Fe14.9-Ca30.0Mg23.5Fe46.5) that extendsup through the 300 m thick capping granophyre. The Ca-poor pyroxenesbelong to a bronzite-inverted pigeonite series (Ca3.5Mg69.1Fe27.4-Ca11.4Mg34.0Fe54.6)that extends only to about 200 m below the granophyre layer.In addition to the cumulus pyroxenes some rocks contain post-cumulusgreen calcic augite and ferrohypersthene. The compositional change of the cumulus pyroxenes with stratigraphicheight is one of general iron enrichment. Superimposed on thistrend are (1) a 1 km thick section in the lower part of thebody that shows slight to no iron enrichment and (2) a markedreversal in the Fe/(Fe+Mg) ratio about 1 km below the top ofthe body. The variations from the general trend are associatedwith cyclic units and are best explained by convective overturnof the magma. In general, the pyroxene compositional trends are similar tothose of the Skaergaard and Bushveld intrusions. One significantdifference in the Dufek intrusion is the limited iron enrichmentof its Ca-rich pyroxenes, that may relate to a slower decreaseof PO2 during crystallization of the Dufek magma. 相似文献

Summary Major and trace element data are presented for four alkali gabbroic inclusions, two monzonitic inclusions, and nine syenitic inclusions from Ulreung island, Korea. Analytical results are also given for the mineral constituents. Although the major element chemistry suggests that the plutonic inclusions are comagmatic with the associated volcanic rocks, the trace element data demonstrate that they do not represent a simple liquid line of descent. In addition, the mineralogical data indicate that they are not likely to represent cumulates on the floor of the magma chamber from which the observed volcanic rocks have been derived. Titanbiotite crystallization preceded kaersutite crystallization in the plutonic rocks but that order was inverse in the volcanic rocks. The trachytic-phonolitic rocks contain Fe-rich olivine phenocrysts, whereas the plutonic inclusions do not. These discrepancies can be accounted for by the assumption that the investigated plutonic rocks represent some cumulus parts of intrusive bodies solidified at shallower depth than the magma reservoir beneath the island. Petrographic features of the gabbroic inclusions are suggestive that olivine was probably in a reaction relationship with liquid to form titanbiotite. Comparison with petrological data of the volcanic rocks also implies that olivine was in a reaction relationship with an intermediate alkalic magma in both the intruded magmas at shallow depth and in the magma chamber at great depth. This is the cause of the olivine compositional gap in the high-K volcanic suite. Titanbiotite is a major reaction product.

Plutonische Einschlüsse und Olivine in Kalium-reichen Vulkaniten von Ulreung Island, Korea
Zusammenfassung Haupt- und Spurenelementdaten von vier alkalischen gabbroiden, zwei monzonitische Haupt- und Spurenelementdaten von vier alkalischen gabbroiden, zwei monzonitische und neun syenitischen Einschlüssen von Ulreung Island, Korea, sowie analytische Daten der Mineralkomponenten werden vorgelegt. Obwohl der Hauptelementchemismus andeutet, daß die plutonischen Intrusionen und die vergesellschafteten vulkanischen Gesteine comagmatisch sind, zeigen die Spurenelementdaten, daß diese nicht eine einfache Magmenlinie darstellen. Außerdem zeigen die mineralogischen Daten an, daß die Gesteine wahrscheinlich keine Kumulate vom Boden der Magmenkammer sind, von welcher die beobachteten vulkanischen Gesteine herstammen. In den plutonischen Gesteinen kristallisierte Titan-Biotit früher als der Kaersutit. In den vulkanischen Gesteinen ist diese Reihenfolge jedoch umgekehrt. Die trachitischen/phonolitischen Gesteine enthalten im Gegensatz zu den plutonischen Einschlüssen Fe-reiche Olivin-Phenokrysten. Diese Unterschiede können durch die Annahme erklärt werden, daß die untersuchten plutonischen Gesteine bestimmte Kumulate eines intrusiven Körpers sind, der in geringerer Tiefe als das Magmenreservoir unterhalb der Inseln erstarrte. Petrographische Kennzeichen von gabbroischen Einschlüssen deuten darauf hin, daß der Olivin wahrscheinlich mit der Schmelze reagiert hat und Titan-Biotit bildete. Ein Vergleich der petrographischen Daten der vulkanischen Gesteine Vergleich der petrographischen Daten der vulkanischen Gesteine läßt ebenfalls den Schluß zu, daß Olivin mit einem intermediären alkalischen Magma in beiden, dem intrudierten Magma in geringer Tiefe und der Magmakammer in großer Tiefe, reagierte. Dies ist der Grund für die Lücke in der Olivinzusammensetzung in der Kalium-reichen vulkanischen Suite. Titan-Biotit ist ein Hauptreaktionsprodukt.

Gabbroic intrusions of the El-Aradiya area are a part of the Neoproterozoic basement cropping out in the central Eastern Desert of Egypt. They are composed mainly of gabbroic cumulates (diopside-plagioclase cumulate and plagioclase-augite cumulate) and fine-grained noncumulate gabbro. Mineral chemistry data indicate that the plagioclase core compositions of the gabbroic cumulates range between An90 and An60, whereas fine-grained noncumulate gabbro plagioclase core compositions are An61−56 and rim compositions are An54−42. The clinopyroxenes are diopside and augite in the gabbroic cumulate, and augite in the fine-grained noncumulate gabbro. Chemical re-equilibration between pyroxenes of gabbroic cumulates vary from 1150-900°C and for fine-grained noncumulate gabbro range from 1200-1100°C. The amphiboles are calcic, varying from tschermakite and tschermakitic hornblende, and Mg-hornblende in the gabbroic cumulate and only Mg-hornblende in the fine-grained noncumulate gabbro. They indicate an island-arc tholeiitic setting for gabbroic intrusions of the El-Aradiya area. Major and trace element data suggest arc tholeiite characters, a comagmatic suite and subduction-related magma with enrichment of LILE and depletion in HFSE relative to MORB. The estimated parent magma is similar to tholeiitic Aleutian arc primary magma. The gabbroic intrusions are analogous to intrusions emplaced in an immature island-arc setting in which the oceanic crust was thin. 相似文献

The Vandfaldsdalen macrodike is a layered and differentiatedgabbroic dike approximately 3?5 km long and from 200 to 500m wide. It appears to cut the eastern margin of the Skaergaardintrusion and may have served as a feeder for the Basistoppensill. The macrodike can be divided into three series of rocks:a marginal series of differentiated gabbros adjacent to thewalls of the dike; a central series of differentiated and subhorizontallylayered gabbros and ferrodiorites in the interior of the dike;and an upper felsic series of granophyric rocks with abundantquartzo-feldspathic xenoliths. The mineral and bulk-rock compositionsthrough both the marginal series and central series show progressiveiron enrichment. The most Ca-rich plagioclase (An69) and mostmagnesian pyroxene (Wo42 En46 Fs12) occur in olivine-bearingrocks of the marginal series about 5 m from the contact withwall rocks. The most Na-rich plagioclase (An39) and Fe-richpyroxene (Wo38 En24 Fs38) are in olivine-free ferrodiorite ofthe central series, about 20 m below the contact with the felsicseries. Evidence from field observations, bulk-rock chemical compositions,and Sr and Nd isotopic data indicate the felsic series formedas a mixture of the initial macrodike magma and granitic countryrock. 87Sr/86Sr ratios of specimens from the felsic series rangebetween 0?7129 and 0?7294. 143Nd/144Nd ratios vary between 0?51208and 0?51118. Both ratios vary serially with the SiO2 contentsof the specimens. We suggest that the felsic series evolvedas a separate body of low density liquid which floated on thedenser gabbroic magma of the central series. Heat from crystallizationof the gabbroic magma must have diffused into the felsic layer,enabling extensive assimilation of the granitic xenoliths, butour data indicate there was very little exchange of chemicalcomponents between the two liquids. 相似文献

The Munni Munni Complex, Western Australia: Stratigraphy, Structure and Petrogenesis 总被引：3，自引：0，他引：3
The late Archaean Munni Munni Complex is a layered mafic-ultramaficintrusion emplaced into granitic rocks of the west Pilbara Block.It consists of a lower Ultramafic Zone with a maximum thicknessof 1850 m and an overlying Gabbroic Zone at least 3600 m thick.There are strong geometrical and stratigraphic similaritiesto the Great Dyke of Zimbabwe. The Ultramafic Zone comprises multiple macrorhythmic cyclesof olivine-clinopyroxene adcumulates and mesocumulates. Layeringdips towards the centre of the intrusion and trends laterallyinto a narrow and variably contaminated chilled margin. Higherlayers extend progressively further up the sloping floor ofthe intrusion. Cryptic layering is defined by rapid fluctuationsin Cr content of cumulus clinopyroxene, accompanied by relativelysmall variation in Fe/Mg ratio. The base of the Gabbroic Zone is marked by the first appearanceof cumulus plagioclase and the simultaneous appearance of pigeoniteas a persistent cumulus phase. Magnetite appears as a cumulusphase 400–600 m above this. Gabbroic Zone cumulates showa gradual linear upward increase in Fe/Mg and an absence ofcyclic layering, suggesting crystallization in a closed chamber. Chilled margin samples show evidence of in situ contamination,but indicate that the parent magma to the ultramafic portionof the intrusion was a high-Mg, low-Ti basalt with similaritiesto typical Archaean siliceous high-Mg basalts. Partial meltingof granitic wall rocks occurred along steep side walls but wasless extensive along the shallow-dipping floor. A pyroxenitedyke, the Cadgerina Dyke, intersects the floor of the intrusionat a level close to the top of the Ultramafic Zone, and appearsto have acted as a feeder conduit to the Gabbroic Zone and theuppermost layers of the Ultramafic Zone. The contact zone between the Ultramafic Zone and the GabbroicZone is a distinctive 30–50 m thick pyroxenite layer,the Porphyritic Websterite Layer, which also exlends laterallyup the side walls of the intrusion to form a 200 m thick marginalborder zone separating Gabbroic Zone cumulates from countryrock granites. A distinctive suite of bronzite-rich xenoliths,some containing Al-rich, Cr-poor spinel seams, occurs withinand just above the Porphyritic Websterite Layer in the centralpart of the intrusion. There is a steep gradient of decreasing Cr and increasing Fe/Mgin cumulus clinopyroxenes across the upper 100 m of the UltramaficZone. A sharp downward step in Cr occurs a few metres belowthe base of the Gabbroic Zone, immediately beneath a stronglyorthocumulate layer of augite cumulate containing disseminatedplatinum-group element (PGE)-rich sulphides. Lateral pyroxenecomposition trends within the Porphyritic Websterite Layer canbe accounted for by an increase in cumulus porosity as thislayer approaches the floor of the intrusion. Quantitative modelling of pyroxene composition trends indicatesthat Ultramafic Zone cumulates crystallized from relativelysmall volumes of magma, an order of magnitude less than thesize of the magma body inferred from trends in the GabbroicZone. This conclusion, together with the geometry of the PorphyriticWebsterite Layer, implies that the Porphyritic Websterite Layermarks a level at which the chamber expanded as a result of amajor new influx of magma. Pyroxene composition trends indicatethat this influx was of a distinetly different and more fractionatedcomposition than that parental to the Ultramafic Zone. Injection of fractionated tholeiitic magma into more primitivehigh-Mg basalt resident magma formed a turbulent fountain, whichentrained the resident magma and formed a cool, dense basalhybrid layer. Crystallization of the Porphyritic WebsteriteLayer occurred where the top of this hybrid layer impinged onthe sloping floor. Continuing injection of tholeiitic magmaexpanded the thickness of the hybrid layer, causing the PorphyriticWebsterite Layer to accrete progressively up the sloping floorand the walls. After the conclusion of the influx phase, thehybrid layer became homogenized to a final tholeiite-rich composition,which eventually crystallized to form the Gabbroic Zone. Thexenolithic rocks within and above the Porphyritic WebsteriteLayer were probably derived initially by crystallization ofa contaminated silica-enriched melt layer at the roof of theintrusion, followed by detachment and sinking or slumping tothe floor. Orthopyroxene phenocrysts within the PorphyriticWebsterite Layer may also have originated within this roof zone. 相似文献

Oxygen isotope analyses have been obtained on rocks and coexistingminerals, principally plagioclase and clinopyroxene, from about400 samples of the Skaergaard layered gabbro intrusion and itscountry rocks. The 18O values of plagioclase decrease upwardin the intrusion, from ‘normal’ values of about+6.0 to +6.4 in the Lower Zone and parts of the Middle Zone,to values as low as –2.4 in the Upper Border Group. The18O depletions of the plagioclase all took place under subsolidusconditions, and were produced by the Eocene meteoric-hydrothermalsystem established by this pluton. Clinopyroxene, which is moreresistant to 18O exchange than is plagioclase, also underwentdepletion in 18O, but to a lesser degree (18O = +5.2 to +3.5).The 18O-depleted rocks typically show reversed 18Oplag–pxfractionations, except at the top of the Upper Zone, where thepyroxenes are very fine-grained aggregates pseudomorphous afterferrowollastonite; these inverted pyroxenes were much more susceptibleto subsolidus 18O exchange (18O = +3–9 to +0.7). D/H analysesof the chloritized basalt country rocks and of the minor quantitiesof alteration minerals in the pluton (D = –116 to –149)confirm these interpretations, indicating that the rocks interactedwith meteoric groundwaters having an original D –100.and 18O –14. Low D values ( –125) were also foundthroughout the biotites of the Precambrian basement gneiss,requiring that small amounts of water penetrated downward todepths of at least 6 to 10 km. These values, together with thelack of 18O depletion of the gneiss, imply that the overallwater/rock ratios were very small in that unit (<0.01), andthus that convective circulation of these waters was much morevigorous in the overlying highly jointed plateau basalts (18O –4.0 to +4–0) than in the relatively impermeablegneiss (18O +7–3 to +7–7). This contrast in permeabilitiesof the country rocks is also reflected in the distribution of18O values in the pluton; the plagioclases with ‘normal’18O values all lie stratigraphically beneath the projectionof the basalt-gneiss unconformity through the pluton. Elsewhere,the 18O depletions are correlated with abundance of fracturesand faults, particularly in the NE portion of the intrusion,where the Layered Series is very shallow-dipping and permeablebasalts underlie the gabbro. The transgressive granophyres in the lower part of the intrusivehave 18O values identical to those of the basement gneiss, indicatingthey were probably formed by partial melting of stoped blocksof gneiss. In the upper part of the intrusion these granophyredikes have 18O values similar to the adjacent host gabbro; thissuggests that much of the hydrothermal alteration occurred aftertheir emplacement. However, because of the rarity of low-temperaturehydrous alteration minerals, it is also clear that most of theinflux of H2O into the layered gabbro occurred at very hightemperatures (>400–500 °C). Prior to flowing intothe gabbro, these fluids had exchanged with similar mineralassemblages in the basaltic country rocks, explaining the lackof chemical alteration of the gabbro. Xenoliths of roof rockbasalt and of Upper Border Group leucogabbro were strongly depletedin 18O by the hydrothermal system prior to their falling tothe bottom of the magma chamber and being incorporated in thelayered series. This proves that the hydrothermal system wasestablished very early, at the time of emplacement of the Skaergaardintrusion. However, no measurable 18O depletion of the gabbromagma could be detected, indicating that very little H2O penetrateddirectly into the liquid magma, in spite of the fact that ahydrothermal circulation system totally enveloped the magmachamber for at least 100, 000 years during its entire periodof crystallization. Only as crystallization proceeded was thehydrothermal system able to collapse inward and interact withthe solidified and fractured portions of the gabbro. Neverthelesssome H2O was clearly added directly to the magma by dehydrationof the stoped blocks of altered roof rock. It is also plausiblethat small amounts of meteoric water diffused directly intothe magma, most logically in the vicinity of major fracturezones that penetrated close to, or were underneath, the late-stagesheet of differentiated ferrodiorite magma. It is suggestedthat such influx of meteoric waters was responsible for manyof the gabbro pegmatite bodies that are common in the MarginalBorder Group; also, such H2O might have produced local increasesin Fe+3/Fe+2 in the magma that in turn could explain some ofthe asymmetric crystallization effects in the magma chamber.Local lowering of the liquidus temperature would also occur,perhaps leading to topographic irregularities on the floor ofthe magma chamber (e.g. the trough bands?). 相似文献

Petrogenesis of Mafic Inclusions in Rhyolitic Lavas from Narugo Volcano, Northeastern Japan 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
Mafic inclusions present in the rhyolitic lavas of Narugo volcano,Japan, are vesiculated andesites with diktytaxitic texturesmainly composed of quenched acicular plagioclase, pyroxenes,and interstitial glass. When the mafic magma was incorporatedinto the silica-rich host magma, the cores of pyroxenes andplagioclase began to crystallize (>1000°C) in a boundarylayer between the mafic and felsic magmas. Phenocryst rim compositionsand interstitial glass compositions (average 78 wt % SiO2) inthe mafic inclusions are the same as those of the phenocrystsand groundmass glass in the host rhyolite. This suggests thatthe host felsic melt infiltrated into the incompletely solidifiedmafic inclusion, and that the interstitial melt compositionin the inclusions became close to that of the host melt (c.850°C). Infiltration was enhanced by the vesiculation ofthe mafic magma. Finally, hybridized and density-reduced portionsof the mafic magma floated up from the boundary layer into thehost rhyolite. We conclude that the ascent of mafic magma triggeredthe eruption of the host rhyolitic magma. KEY WORDS: mafic inclusion; stratified magma chamber; magma mixing; mingling; Narugo volcano; Japan 相似文献

Fountains in Magma Chambers 总被引：5，自引：3，他引：5
Cyclic layering is a common feature of the ultramafic zone oflayered intrusions and is usually attributed to the entry ofnew pulses of dense magma into the chamber. Since the crystallizationof olivine and bronzite lowers the density of the magma, a newpulse of the parent magma will be denser than the fractionatedmagma in the chamber. If the new pulse enters with excess momentumit will initially rise up into the host magma to form a fountain,then fall back around the feeder when negative buoyancy forcesovercome the initial momentum of the pulse. Laboratory experimentsusing aqueous solutions with both point and line sources havebeen conducted to obtain a quantitative understanding of thefluid-dynamical processes that are important in fountains. Itis observed that convection within the fountain is highly turbulent,resulting in appreciable entrainment of the host magma. A gravity-stratifiedhybrid layer develops at the floor and this breaks up into aseries of double-diffusive convecting layers if the new pulseis hotter than the host magma. The number of layers that formdepends on a number of factors, especially R, the ratio of thecontributions of composition and heat to the total density differencebetween the host magma and the new pulse. Raising the valueof R, results in the formation of more, thinner layers. The thickness of the hybrid layer at any time t is given byH = h0+(V0/A)t where V0 is the volume flux through the feederand A is the horizontal area of the chamber. h0 is related tothe initial steady-state height of the fountain and, for a linesource, is given by h0=CU04/3 d–1(g/)–2/3 whereU0 is the volume flux per unit length, g is the accelerationdue to gravity, d is the width of the feeder, is the densityof the host magma, is the density difference between the magmasand C is a constant. Calculations based on these results and the consideration ofthe flow in the feeder dykes below the chamber indicate thata fountain will rise at least 350 m in a continental magma chamberif the feeder width is greater than 10 m. This will lead toextensive mixing between the new pulse and the fractionatedmagma in the chamber, producing a zoned hybrid layer at thefloor that is commonly over 1000 m thick. If the chamber receivesmany pulses of dense magma, the resulting zoning may persistthroughout much of the life of the chamber, especially if thefirst pulse to enter becomes contaminated by light magma releasedby melting at the margins. The highest Mg/Fe ratio for olivineand pyroxenes from cyclic units from the ultramafic zones oflayered intrusions is often well below the value expected forminerals crystallizing from a melt derived directly from themantle, supporting the hypothesis that new pulses of dense magmacan mix extensively with the fractionated magma in the chamber. The feeder dykes to some oceanic magma chambers, such as theBay of Islands Ophiolite, are believed to be narrower, so thatfountains do not rise more than a few metres above the floorof the chamber. This restricts mixing between the input magmaand the host magma and can result in the formation of a hybridzone that is only a few metres thick. 相似文献

Magmatic Evolution of the La Pacana Caldera System, Central Andes, Chile: Compositional Variation of Two Cogenetic, Large-Volume Felsic Ignimbrites 总被引：10，自引：3，他引：10

La Pacana is one of the largest known calderas on Earth, andis the source of at least two major ignimbrite eruptions witha combined volume of some 2700 km3. These ignimbrites have stronglycontrasting compositions, raising the question of whether theyare genetically related. The Toconao ignimbrite is crystal poor,and contains rhyolitic (76–77 wt % SiO2) tube pumices.The overlying Atana ignimbrite is a homogeneous tuff whose pumiceis dacitic (66–70 wt % SiO2), dense (40–60% vesicularity)and crystal rich (30–40 % crystals). Phase equilibriaindicate that the Atana magma equilibrated at temperatures of770–790°C with melt water contents of 3·1–4·4wt %. The pre-eruptive Toconao magma was cooler (730–750°C)and its melt more water rich (6·3–6·8 wt% H2O). A pressure of 200 MPa is inferred from mineral barometryfor the Atana magma chamber. Isotope compositions are variablebut overlapping for both units (87Sr/86Sri 0·7094–0·7131;143Nd/144Nd 0·51222–0·51230) and are consistentwith a dominantly crustal origin. Glass analyses from Atanapumices are similar in composition to those in Toconao tubepumices, demonstrating that the Toconao magma could representa differentiated melt of the Atana magma. Fractional crystallizationmodelling suggests that the Toconao magma can be produced by30% crystallization of the observed Atana mineral phases. Toconaomelt characteristics and intensive parameters are consistentwith a volatile oversaturation-driven eruption. However, thelow H2O content, high viscosity and high crystal content ofthe Atana magma imply an external eruption trigger.

A Strontium and Neodymium Isotopic Investigation of the Fongen--Hyllingen Layered Intrusion, Norway 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
The Fongen—Hyllingen Intrusion, situated 60 km SE of Trondheim,Norway, is a synorogenic layered mafic intrusion of Caledonianage . The intrusion is divided into four evolutionary stages based on cryptic variations: StageI—a basal reversal; Stage II—unchanged mineral chemistryor slight normal evolution; Stage III—a gradual regression;Stage IV— a strong normal fractionation trend Magma replenishmentdominated during most of the crystallization, i.e. during StagesI, II and III Replenishing magma was more dense than resident,evolved magma, and continuing influx eventually caused a compositionallystratified magma column to form. Cryptic lateral variation isan important feature in the southern part of the complex andformed by in situ crystallization from a stratified magma alongan inclined floor, where modal layering formed parallel to thecrystallization front. Initial Sr- and Nd-isotopic ratios inthe cumulates vary as a result of assimilation of country rockand subsequent mixing between uncontaminated, replenishing magmaand contaminated, resident magma. The parental magma had a moderatelydepleted isotope composition, relative to Bulk Earth, with Nd=584and Sri=070308, whereas the main contaminant was a partialmelt of metapelitic country rock with Nd=-874 and Sri=07195(Sri is the initial 87Sr/86Sr). Sri in the analysed cumulatewhole-rock samples ranges from 070308 to 070535 and initialNd ranges from. 158 to 584. There is a strong correlationbetween mineralogical composition and isotopic trends in mostof the cumulates: the most primitive samples are the least contaminated,as reflected by relatively high ed and low Sr,, and more evolvedsamples have progressively lower eNi and higher Sry A gradualregression of several hundred metres thickness characterizesStage III; stratigraphically upwards mineral compositions becomemore primitive and isotope compositions more depleted (higherNd and lower Sri), implying a process of. progressive mixing-inof replenishing, primitive and uncontaminated magma. Magma influxin Stage III took place by fountaining, whereas magma additionwas more tranquil in the earlier stages. The fountaining influxentrained resident, relatively evolved and contaminated magma,resulting in a hybrid magma which ponded at the floor. Duringprolonged magma addition with concomitant crystallization, thelowermost magma layer was replaced by progressively more primitivehybrid magma, creating a gradual regression in the crystallizingcumulate sequence. A detailed two-dimensional study revealslateral variations in mineral compositions both at the baseand top of Stage III, whereas lateral variations in Sr- andNd-isotopic compositions are present at the top, but not atthe base. This implies that the lowest crystallizing part ofthe magma column was essentially isotopically homogeneous, butcompositionally stratified, before influx in Stage III. Isotopicgradients in the magma were strong close to the roof, wheremost of the assimilation occurred, and decreased downwards,merging into isotopically homogeneous magma. This stratifiedsystem was destroyed by turbulent mixing between replenishingand resident magma during fountaining influx in Stage III, anda new stratification was established with both an isotopic anda compositional gradient. After the final influx, crystallizationcontinued in an essentially closed system, in which the remainingmagma column eventually became homogenized, as magma layersmixed when their densities converged owing to release of buoyant,residual liquid during fractional crystallization.

The Newark Island Layered Intrusion occurs in the ProterozoicNain anorthosite complex of Labrador. It contains an exceptionalsuite of cumulates ranging from troctolites and gabbros to quartzmonzonites and intermediate hybrid rocks. These layered rocksformed in a chamber that was periodically fed by a wide rangeof basic and acid magmas, the compositions of which are preservedin numerous feeder dikes. Where basic magmas commingled withcooler granitic magma, they commonly formed chilled pillows.Because of periodic injections of both acid and basic magmasthe magma chamber was compositionally stratified for much ofits existence. At times, granitic cumulates formed along thechamber walls while mafic to intermediate hybrid cumulates formedon the floor. Stratigraphic and structural relations indicatethat the magma chamber grew upward during deposition, and thatit evolved from a west-dipping sheet to a north-plunging synform.Three major episodes of expansion can be linked to injectionsof large (e.g., 20km3) volumes of acid magma. The entry of thisacid magma into the chamber disrupted previously formed cumulates,creating enlarged feeders down which resident basic magma collapsed.The resultant structures (troughs) contain strongly chilledpillows of resident basic magma that existed near the bottomof the chamber at the time of acid replenishment. 相似文献

The Bondla mafic-ultramafic complex is a layered intrusion that consists predominantly of peridotites and gabbronorites. A
chromitite-pyroxenite-troctolite horizon serves as a marker to subdivide the intrusion into two zones. The Lower Zone displays
gravity stratified layers of chromite that alternate with those of olivine, which up-section are followed by olivine+pyroxene-chromite
cumulates. The Upper Zone comprises gabbroic rocks that exhibit uniform layering. On the basis of modal and cryptic variation
exhibited by the minerals this zone can be subdivided in to several lithohorizons starting from the troctolites at the base
to gabbronorites and leucogabbros at the top. The junction between the two zones is marked by the distinct reversal in cryptic
variation exhibited by the chromites and pyroxenes.
The peridotite chromites contain higher Al2O3 and lower Cr2O3 than those from the chromitite above. Similarly clinopyroxenes from pyroxenite and troctolites are more magnesian that those
from the peridotites stratigraphically below them. The complex in general is characterized by a gabbroic mineral assemblage
in which both Ca-rich and Capoor pyroxenes coexist and displays a Fe-enrichment trend providing evidence of evolution from
a contaminated tholeiitic magma. The rocks are characterized by low-TiO2; Ni, Cr and V, show negative correlation with Zr whereas the large ion lithophile elements (LILE) are positively correlated
and the Nb/La ratio varies from 0.4–0.6. These characteristics are consistent with a low-TiO2 sub-alkaline tholeiitic magma that may have been modified by fractional crystallization and successive injections of more
primitive melts in the magma chamber. The complex evolved in a periodically replenished magma chamber that consisted of two
separate but interconnected sub-chambers. 相似文献
