    洋岛玄武岩的元素和同位素地球化学特征可以示踪深部地幔的化学结构和化学演化过程。HIMU(Highμ,μ=238U/204Pbt=0) 型玄武岩是一类元素和同位素组成特殊的洋岛玄武岩,被认为与地幔柱中再循环的洋壳物质直接相关,因此,HIMU型玄 武岩的成因是地幔柱（热点） 研究中长期关注的话题。本文概述了HIMU型玄武岩的地球化学定义,对HIMU洋岛的分布、 火山演化阶段以及岩性变化做了综合阐述,并在对比经典HIMU型玄武岩与其他板内玄武岩元素地球化学特征、放射成因 同位素组成以及惰性气体同位素组成特征的基础上,简要探讨其源区组成和成因上的不同。  相似文献

The Source Regions of Ocean Island Basalts   总被引：33，自引：17，他引：16  
The geochemical modelling of many small-volume continental magmasshows that their source regions must have been depleted by basaltformation, and later enriched by the addition of a metasomaticmelt, formed by melting 03% of the MORB source. The presenceof such magmas throughout western Turkey and the Aegean, whereno plume is present, requires such magmas to be formed at temperaturesconsiderably below the dry solidus. Similar magmas elsewherebring up nodule suites, many of which have the same compositionas the source regions of the host magmas. Pressure and temperatureestimates from garnetbearing suites, and temperature estimatesfrom those without garnet, show that the nodules last equilibratedat pressures and temperatures close to those of the wet solidus.Magmas from the smaller oceanic islands and from some seamountsclosely resemble small-volume continental magmas, and also comefrom sources that have been metasomaticaUy enriched. However,no data sets from any of the oceanic islands that have yet beenmodelled require their source regions to have been depletedbefore being enriched The density of the sources of continentaland oceanic basalts can be obtained from their calculated modes.In the garnet peridotite stability field the sources of oceanisland basalts have densities that are slightly greater thanthat of the MORB source, whereas those of most small-volumecontinental magmas are lighter. Therefore ocean island sourcesalone are easily entrained into the thermal convection beneaththe plates. A numerical experiment shows that material in thehot and cold boundary layers of high Rayleigh number time-dependentconvection tends to remain in the boundary layers for severaloverturns, rather than moving into the interior of the circulation.A simple model that can account for the elemental and isotopiccomposition of ocean island basalts forms their sources by theaddition of metasomatic melt to the undcplcUd MORB source whileit forms the lower part of the mechanical boundary layer beneathcontinents. The isotopic differences between ocean island basaltand MORB are generated before the source becomes entrained inthe cold sinking plumes that fall to the base of the convectinglayer. At the base the material is heated and rises as partof a hot plume. Because the metasomatic melt contains waterand carbonates, the enriched regions start to melt and generatemore melt on decompression than does the MORB source. Such regionscan therefore generate islands and seamounts. Even when theenriched material moves into the interior of the circulationand acquires the mean potential temperature of the mantle, itwill still generate more melt on decompression than will theMORB source, and the isotopic and elemental composition willstill be distinctive. The model can therefore account for theobserved composition of magmas from seamounts that cannot beproduced from either the MORB or the primitive source. *Corresponding author  相似文献

Do We Really Need Mantle Components to Define Mantle Composition?   总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2  
We discuss the concept of components in the Earth's mantle startingfrom a petrological and geochemical approach, but adopting anew method of projection of geochemical and isotopic data. Thisallows the compositional variability of magmatic associationsto be evaluated in multi-dimensional space, thus simultaneouslyaccounting for a large number of compositional variables. Wedemonstrate that ocean island basalts (OIB) and mid-ocean ridgebasalts (MORB) are derived from a marble-cake mantle, in whichdifferent degrees of partial melting of recycled lithosphere,which are heterogeneous in age and composition, contribute tothe magma genesis. This view is supported by the variabilityin the geochemical and isotopic signatures of OIB that are observedon the scale of a single ocean island as well as on that ofan ocean, mostly varying between two extreme compositions, thatare not strictly related to the commonly accepted mantle components(DMM, EMI, EMII, HIMU). Rather they are a distinctive featureof the mantle source sampled at each ocean island and are stronglydependent on the Pb isotope system. We recommend a change inperspective in studies of MORB–OIB geochemistry from onebased on physically distinct mantle components to a model basedon the existence of a marble-cake-like upper mantle. Althoughresembling the statistical upper mantle, this model impliesthat geochemical homogenization can be attained only withinthe limits of local mantle composition, so that a world-wideuniform depleted reservoir cannot be sampled by simply extendingthe volume of the region undergoing partial melting.

High precision 87Sr/86Sr analyses, together with determinationsof Rb, Sr, K2O, Na2O and, in a few cases, other elements, arereported for about fifty volcanic rocks (mainly basaltic) fromthe Atlantic Ocean basin. Results for dredged basalts from theReykjanes Ridge and Charlie Gibbs Fracture Zone, and an enstatite-forsteritebasalt from Kolbeinsey islet, support the general observationthat ocean-ridge tholeiites have uniformly low 87Sr/86Sr ratios(0.70294±4) and lithophile element contents comparedwith the most primitive basalts on ocean islands, includingthe Neovolcanic zones of Iceland, although progressive decreasein these quantities away from Iceland has not been confirmed.In contrast, the ocean island alkali basalts generally havehigher 87Sr/86Sr ratios (0.70334±5 for the Snaefellsnespeninsula of Iceland, 0.70343±4 for Jan Mayen, 0.70509±4for Tristan da Cunha and 0.70369±3 for Bouvetøya).The chief exception is Ascension Island, where volcanic rocksranging from alkali-olivine basalt to trachyte give a mean valueof 0.70284±4. The constancy of this ratio throughouteruptive sequences on any single island indicates that Sr-isotopecharacteristics are primary features. These variations, which are far outside analytical errors, areconsidered in the light of the geochemistry and isotope systematicsof ocean basalts in general. The implied isotopic (and lithophileelement) heterogeneities of the source regions have to be interpretedaccording to either equilibrium or disequilibrium melting models.The former, which is normally assumed, requires large-scale(domain) isotopic inhomogeneities within the mantle, which musthave existed over thousands of m.y. unless the Rb/Sr ratio ofextracted liquids is lower than that of the bulk source (aswould be the case if phlogopite were a residual phase). In thecase of disequilibrium melting, the inhomogeneities are reducedto the mineral scale, as observed in some studies of ultramaficnodules. It is shown that disequilibrium melting models couldgenerally account for the observed isotopic variations of oceanicrocks, although difficulties are again encountered unless phlogopiteis a stable residual phase. Evaluation of the relative importanceof these melting processes cannot be made at the present time.  相似文献

Petrologic and chemical data are presented for samples from five volcanically active islands in the northern Marianas group, an intra-oceanic island arc. The data include microprobe analyses of phenocryst and xenolith assemblages, whole rock major and trace element chemistry including REE, and Sr isotope determinations (87Sr/86Sr=0.7034±0.0001). Quartz-normative basalt and basaltic andesite are the most abundant lava types. These are mineralogically and chemically similar to the mafic products of other intra-oceanic islands arcs. It is suggested, however, that they are not typical of the ‘island arc tholeiitic’ series, having Fe enrichment trends and K/Rb, for example, more typical of calc-alkaline suits. Major and trace element characteristics, and the presence of cumulate xenoliths, indicate that extensive near surface (< 3 Kb) fractionation has occurred. Thus, even least fractionated basalts have low abundances of Mg, Ni and Cr, and high abundances of K and other large cation, imcompatible elements, relative to ocean ridge tholeiites. However, abundances of REE and small cation lithophile elements, such as Ti, Zr, Nb, and Hf are lower than typical ocean ridge tholeiites. The REE data and Sr isotope compositions suggest a purely mantle origin for the Marianas island arc basalts, with negligible input from subducted crustal material. Thus, subduction of oceanic lithosphere may not be a sufficient condition for initiation of island arc magmatism. Intersection of the Benioff zone with an asthenosphere under appropriate conditions may be requisite. Element ratios and abundances, combined with isotopic data, suggest that the source for the Marianas island arc basalts is more chondritic in some respects, and less depleted in large cations than the shallow (?) mantle source for ocean ridge tholeiites.  相似文献

全球幔源岩Pb-Sr-Nd同位素体系   总被引：5，自引：0，他引：5  
朱炳泉 《地学前缘》2007,14(2):24-36
根据各种同位素数据库得到的3万多个晚古生代以来的幔源岩(包括洋中脊玄武岩、洋岛玄武岩、岛弧火山岩、大陆与大洋溢流玄武岩以及大陆板内玄武岩)Pb-Sr-Nd同位素资料和图解分析,对各类火山岩的源区以及地幔的垂向与横向不均一性问题作了进一步讨论。笔者认为不存在具有公共性质的EM1、EM2和HIMU地幔端员,它们的源区可能来自上、下地幔过渡带,只在局部地区出现,独一无二。PREMA(FOZO)则是洋岛玄武岩和溢流玄武岩公共端员。DUAPAL异常现象不只是在洋中脊玄武岩中出现,在洋岛玄武岩、岛弧火山岩和大洋溢流玄武岩中也存在同步的地球化学分区现象。溢流玄武岩的同位素体系特征表明它们的源区涉及再循环地幔的壳幔混合、岩石圈减压熔融、上—下地幔过渡带和似原始-略亏损的下地幔。Pb同位素体系为鉴别俯冲带的存在提供了更严格的证据,这种鉴别表明,安第斯弧火山作用不是洋陆俯冲带产生的。  相似文献

西准噶尔地区出露多条蛇绿混杂岩带,对其进行精确的锆石U-Pb年代学及岩石地球化学研究可以为揭示西准噶尔地区古大洋形成与演化过程、恢复古构造格局及追溯岩浆源区物质来源提供线索.本文对玛依勒蛇绿混杂岩中的辉长岩及玄武岩进行了LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb年代学及全岩地球化学研究,获得辉长岩中锆石的加权平均206Pb/238U年龄为572.2±9.2Ma,属于早震旦纪,该年龄是准噶尔乃至北疆地区报道的最古老的蛇绿混杂岩年龄.玛依勒蛇绿混杂岩中的枕状玄武岩为碱性玄武岩,岩石具有高Ti(TiO2=1.65％ ～3.13％)、高Fe(FeOT=8.93％ ～ 18.11％)、高Mg(MgO=3.95％ ～ 5.27％)及高P(P2O5 =0.17％～0.51％),Th/Ta比值相对较高(=1.1～1.9),LREE和HREE分异较为明显((La/Yb)N =2.5 ～7.4)等特征,这些特征与洋岛玄武岩类似,可能形成于大洋板内的洋岛或海山环境.其中的辉长岩地球化学特征不同于玄武岩,可能形成与俯冲有关的环境.玛依勒蛇绿混杂岩中玄武岩与EMI型洋岛玄武岩具有相似的地球化学特征,表明其岩浆源区可能为EMI型富集地幔.岩石成因与软流圈地幔关系密切,软流圈的上涌导致尖晶石相二辉橄榄岩地幔源区大比例部分熔融,是岩石圈-软流圈地幔相互作用的产物.  相似文献

A comparison of new and published geochemical characteristics of magmatism in the western and eastern Indian Ocean at the initial and recent stages of its evolution revealed several important differences between the mantle sources of basaltic melts from this ocean.
  1. The sources of basalts, from ancient rises and from flanks of the modern Central Indian Ridge within the western Indian Ocean contain an enriched component similar in composition to the source of the Réunion basalts (with radiogenic Pb and Sr and unradiogenic Nd), except for basalts from the Comores Islands, which exhibit a contribution from an enriched HIMU-like component.
  2. The modern rift lavas of spreading ridges display generally similar geochemical compositions. Several local isotopic anomalies are characterized by the presence of an EM2-like component. However, two anomalous areas with distinctly different enriched mantle sources were recognized in the westernmost part of the Southwestern Indian Ridge (SWIR). The enriched mantle source of the western SWIR tholeiites in the vicinity of the Bouvet Triple Junction has the isotopic ratios indicating a mixture of HIMU + EM2 in the source. The rift anomaly distinguished at 40° E displays the EM1 signature in the mantle source, which is characterized by relatively low 206Pb/204Pb (up to 17.0) and high 207Pb/204Pb, 208Pb/204Pb and 87Sr/86Sr. This source may be due to mixing with material from the continental lithosphere of the ancient continent Gondwana. The material from this source can be distinguished in magmas related to the Mesozoic plume activity in Antarctica, as well as in basalts from the eastern Indian Ocean rises, which were formed by the Kerguelen plume at 100–90 Ma.
  3. The geochemical heterogeneities identified in the ancient and present-day magmatic products from the western and eastern Indian Ocean are thought to reflect the geodynamic evolution of the region. In the eastern part of the ocean, the interaction of the evolving Kerguelen plume with the rift zones produced magmas with specific geochemical characteristics during the early opening of the ocean; such a dispersion of magma composition was not recognized in the western part of the ocean.

We present the first report of geochemical data for submarine basalts collected by a manned submersible from Rurutu, Tubuai, and Raivavae in the Austral Islands in the South Pacific, where subaerial basalts exhibit HIMU isotopic signatures with highly radiogenic Pb isotopic compositions. With the exception of one sample from Tubuai, the 40Ar/39Ar ages of the submarine basalts show no significant age gaps between the submarine and subaerial basalts, and the major element compositions are indistinguishable at each island. However, the variations in Pb, Sr, Nd, and Hf isotopic compositions in the submarine basalts are much larger than those previously reported in subaerial basalts. The submarine basalts with less-radiogenic Pb and radiogenic Nd and Hf isotopic compositions show systematically lower concentrations in highly incompatible elements than the typical HIMU basalts. These geochemical variations are best explained by a two-component mixing process in which the depleted asthenospheric mantle was entrained by the mantle plume from the HIMU reservoir during its upwelling, and the melts from the HIMU reservoir and depleted asthenospheric mantle were then mixed in various proportions. The present and compiled data demonstrate that the HIMU reservoir has a uniquely low 176Hf/177Hf decoupled from 143Nd/144Nd, suggesting that it was derived from an ancient subducted slab. Moreover, the Nd/Hf ratios of the HIMU basalts and curvilinear Nd–Hf isotopic mixing trend require higher Nd/Hf ratios for the melt from the HIMU reservoir than that from the depleted mantle component. Such elevated Nd/Hf ratios could reflect source enrichment by a subducted slab during reservoir formation.  相似文献

Part II of this paper reports geochemical and Nd isotope characteristics of the volcanogenic and siliceous-terrigenous complexes of the Lake zone of the Central Asian Caledonides and associating granitoids of various ages. Geological, geochronological, geochemical, and isotopic data were synthesized with application to the problems of the sources and main mechanisms of continental crust formation and evolution for the Caledonides of the Central Asian orogenic belt. It was found that the juvenile sialic crust of the Lake zone was formed during the Vendian-Cambrian (approximately 570–490 Ma) in an environment of intraoceanic island arcs and oceanic islands from depleted mantle sources with the entrainment of sedimentary crustal materials into subduction zones and owing to the accretion processes of the amalgamation of paleoceanic and island arc complexes and Precambrian microcontinents, which terminated by ∼490 Ma. The source of primary melts for the low-Ti basalts, andesites, and dacites of the Lake zone ophiolites and island arc complexes was mainly the depleted mantle wedge above a subduction zone. In addition, an enriched plume source contributed to the genesis of the high-Ti basalts and gabbroids of oceanic plateaus. The source of terrigenous rocks associating with the volcanics was composed of materials similar in composition to the country rocks at a minor and varying role of ancient crustal materials introduced into the ocean basin owing to the erosion of Precambrian microcontinents. The sedimentary rocks of the accretionary prism were derived by the erosion of mainly juvenile island arc sources with a minor contribution of rocks of the mature continental crust. The island arc and accretion stages of the development of the Lake zone (∼540–590 Ma) were accompanied by the development of high- and low-alumina sodic granitoids through the melting at various depths of depleted mantle reservoirs (metabasites of a subducted oceanic slab and a mantle wedge) and at the base of the island arc at the subordinate role of ancient crustal rocks. The melts of the postaccretion granitoids of the Central Asian Caledonides were derived mainly from the rocks of the juvenile Caledonian crust at an increasing input of an ancient crustal component owing to the tectonic mixing of the rocks of ophiolitic and island arc complexes and microcontinents. The obtained results indicate that the Vendian-Early Paleozoic stage of the evolution of the Central Asian orogenic belt was characterized by the extensive growth of juvenile continental crust and allow us to distinguish a corresponding stage of juvenile crust formation.  相似文献

      大陆碱性玄武岩在地球化学特征上与洋岛玄武岩高度相似,被看做是板内玄武岩在大陆上的典型代表。本文以山东 新生代碱性玄武岩为例,探讨大陆碱性玄武岩的成因。山东新生代碱性玄武岩按时空分布特征可以分为两类：早期定向分 布、相互平行的三个火山群（包括鲁西的潍坊火山群、沂水火山群和胶东的蓬莱火山群）和晚期杂乱分布的孤立小火山。 早期火山群碱性较弱,以碱性橄榄玄武岩和碧玄岩为主,微量元素特征和同位素组成变化大;晚期孤立小火山碱性强,以 碧玄岩和霞石岩为主,微量元素特征和同位素组成较均一。因此,从岩性组成和时空分布特征看,山东的火山群相当于洋 岛/海山的造盾期玄武岩,而孤立小火山接近于洋岛/海山上的复苏期玄武岩。潍坊火山群和沂水火山群在Sr-Nd,Nd-Hf同位 素相关图上都存在从亏损到富集的两端元混合排列趋势,但两者的排列趋势有一点区别。其中同位素富集的端元相对于原 始地幔具有偏低的Ce/Pb比和偏高的Ba/Th比,指示其为大陆下地壳物质。同时,这种富集端元的Th/La比值明显低于大陆下 地壳的平均值,其放射成因Hf相对于放射成因Nd过剩（即Nd-Hf同位素解耦）,说明这种富集端元不是岩浆上升过程中混染 的下地壳物质,而是经历过早期熔融的再循环大陆下地壳（榴辉岩或者石榴辉石岩）。鲁西两个平行火山群在同位素排列上 的区别类似于夏威夷玄武岩中的KEA链和LOA链,因此,山东的平行火山群的深部动力学背景可能是地幔柱,再循环大陆 下地壳物质可能是这种地幔柱的重要组成物质。晚期的孤立小火山在地球化学特征上与火成碳酸岩非常相似,如在原始地 幔标准化图上都具有K,Pb,Zr,Hf,Ti的负异常等特征,因此我们认为其地幔源区为碳酸盐化的橄榄岩。孤立小火山中等亏损 的Sr,Nd,Hf同位素特征支持碳酸岩熔体来自年轻的（中生代？）再循环洋壳。  相似文献

Subduction related basalts display wide ranges in large ion lithophile element ratios (e.g., Rb/Ba and Rb/ Sr) which are unlikely to result from mixing, but suggest a role for small degree partial melting of a relatively Rb-poor mantle wedge source. However, these variations do not correlate with other trace element criteria, such as the depletions of high field strength elements (HFSE) and light rare earth elements (LREE) relative to the LILE, which characterise subduction related magmatism. Integration of radiogenic isotope and trace element data demonstrates that the elemental enrichment cannot be simply related to two component mixtures inferred from isotopic variations. Thus a minimum of three components is required to describe the geochemistry of subduction zone basalts. Two are subduction related: high Sr/Nd material is derived from the dehydration of subducted basaltic ocean crust, and a low Sr/Nd component is thought to be from subducted terrigenous sediment. The third component is in the mantle wedge, it is usually similar to the source of MORB, particularly in its isotopic composition. However, in some cases, notably continental areas, more enriched mantle wedge material with relatively high 87Sr/86Sr, low 143Nd/144Nd and elevated incompatible trace element contents may be involved Mixing of these three components is capable of producing both the entire range of Sr, Nd and Pb isotope signatures observed in destructive margin basalts, and their distinctive trace element compositions. The isotope differences between Atlantic and Pacific island arc basalts are attributed to the isotope compositions of sediments in the two oceans.  相似文献

The Izmir-Ankara-Erzincan suture zone of Turkey is a broad zone of ophiolitic mélange containing numerous fragmented blocks ranging in age from Triassic to Cretaceous. Stratigraphic sequences for various mélange units are compared, together with the geochemistry of associated basaltic pillow lavas of Cretaceous age. A review of geochemical data for the pillow lavas demonstrate: (a) a dominant group of alkalic basalts with enriched incompatible elements, variable Zr/Y and Zr/Nb ratios, and (b) a range of tholeiitic basalts with slightly depleted to mildly enriched (normalized) rare earth patterns, (La/Yb)N 0.4-3.0, and generally low Zr/Y ratios. The alkalic basalts can be chemically matched to Pacific Ocean seamounts, although the close association of red radiolarites and cherts suggests that many basalts represent the margins of such structures, rather than the main seamount edifice. Nd-Sr isotope data are typical for ocean island basalts and represent an admixture of a dominant EM-1 source and a depleted MORB-like source. Enhanced δ18O compositions are a consequence of submarine alteration and not crustal contamination. Tholeiitic compositions have affinities with both N- and E-type MORB, although most are probably representative of tholeiitic ocean islands. Overall the basalts are mainly representative of structures built on the ocean floor, rather than the oceanic crust itself, being scraped off the subducting crust and preserved in the mélange of the accretionary wedge.  相似文献

Newly obtained precise analytical data on trace elements and radiogenic Sr, Nd, and Pb isotopes testify to anomalous geochemical characteristics of mafic and intermediate Quaternary lavas in Paramushir (in the north of the Kuril arc), Kunashir and Iturup (in the south) islands, which are the largest three islands of the Kuril island arc. The high K and LREE concentrations in the volcanic products in Paramushir Island resulted from the southward expansion of the mantle thermal anomaly of the Kamchatka Peninsula and the involvement of melts related to the melting of oceanic sediments in magma generation. The depleted characteristics of the mafic volcanics are explained by the relatively young tectono-magmatic events during the opening of the Kuril backarc basin. The Kuril island-arc system developed on a heterogeneous basement. The northern islands are a continuation of the volcanic structures of southern Kamchatka, which were formed above an isotopically depleted and hot lithospheric mantle domain of composition close to that of the Pacific MORB type. The southern islands were produced above an isotopically enriched and cold lithospheric domain of the Indian-Ocean MORB type, which was modified in relation to relatively young backarc tectono-magmatic processes. Although issues related to the genesis of the transverse geochemical zoning were beyond the originally formulated scope of our research, the homogeneous enough isotopic composition of the rear-arc lavas in the absence of any mineralogical and geochemical lines of evidence of crustal contamination suggests an independent magmatic source.  相似文献

Magnesium isotopic composition of the Earth and chondrites   总被引：3，自引：0，他引：3  
To constrain further the Mg isotopic composition of the Earth and chondrites, and investigate the behavior of Mg isotopes during planetary formation and magmatic processes, we report high-precision (±0.06‰ on δ25Mg and ±0.07‰ on δ26Mg, 2SD) analyses of Mg isotopes for (1) 47 mid-ocean ridge basalts covering global major ridge segments and spanning a broad range in latitudes, geochemical and radiogenic isotopic compositions; (2) 63 ocean island basalts from Hawaii (Kilauea, Koolau and Loihi) and French Polynesia (Society Island and Cook-Austral chain); (3) 29 peridotite xenoliths from Australia, China, France, Tanzania and USA; and (4) 38 carbonaceous, ordinary and enstatite chondrites including 9 chondrite groups (CI, CM, CO, CV, L, LL, H, EH and EL).Oceanic basalts and peridotite xenoliths have similar Mg isotopic compositions, with average values of δ25Mg = −0.13 ± 0.05 (2SD) and δ26Mg = −0.26 ± 0.07 (2SD) for global oceanic basalts (n = 110) and δ25Mg = −0.13 ± 0.03 (2SD) and δ26Mg = −0.25 ± 0.04 (2SD) for global peridotite xenoliths (n = 29). The identical Mg isotopic compositions in oceanic basalts and peridotites suggest that equilibrium Mg isotope fractionation during partial melting of peridotite mantle and magmatic differentiation of basaltic magma is negligible. Thirty-eight chondrites have indistinguishable Mg isotopic compositions, with δ25Mg = −0.15 ± 0.04 (2SD) and δ26Mg = −0.28 ± 0.06 (2SD). The constancy of Mg isotopic compositions in all major types of chondrites suggest that primary and secondary processes that affected the chemical and oxygen isotopic compositions of chondrites did not significantly fractionate Mg isotopes.Collectively, the Mg isotopic composition of the Earth’s mantle, based on oceanic basalts and peridotites, is estimated to be −0.13 ± 0.04 for δ25Mg and −0.25 ± 0.07 for δ26Mg (2SD, n = 139). The Mg isotopic composition of the Earth, as represented by the mantle, is similar to chondrites. The chondritic composition of the Earth implies that Mg isotopes were well mixed during accretion of the inner solar system.  相似文献

The strontium isotopic compositions have been determined for twelve tholeiitic basalts dredged from the Gordo and Juan de Fuca Rises. Sr87/Sr86 ratios range from 0.7012 to 0.7031 and average 0.7026. These data, combined with other data from the East Pacific Rise indicate that tholeiite basalts being erupted along the active rises, in the Pacific Ocean, contain less radiogenic Sr87 than basalts erupted on the islands. These isotopic differences between the ocean-ridge tholeiite and the more alkali island basalts indicate that variations in Rb/Sr have persisted in the mantle for billions of years. The possible origins and distribution of these heterogeneties are discussed.  相似文献

Lavas from the island of São Miguel, Azores Archipelago have long been known to display large radiogenic isotopic variability, that ranges from “depleted” isotopic signatures (e.g. high εNd ∼ +5) in the west, typical of many ocean island basalts, to more “enriched” compositions (e.g. low εNd ∼ +1) in the east. Here, we further characterise the geochemistry of lavas from this remarkable locality, focussing on the nature and origin of the enriched source. Our new isotope data define a striking, linear array in Nd and Hf isotope space that points towards an unusual, enriched composition below the mantle array. This distinctive Hf-Nd isotope signature is associated with elevated values of all three radiogenic Pb isotope ratios. Although the enriched component has certain geochemical similarities to both terrigenous sediments and some samples of the continental mantle lithosphere, such comparisons do not stand closer examination. In the absence of a clear, modern analogue we explore the isotope evolution of some simple, model melt compositions to investigate plausible means of producing an appropriate enriched component. Nd-Hf isotope characteristics provide the tightest constraints and can be reproduced by an ancient (∼3 Ga), modest-degree melt (∼2%) from a garnet peridotite source. Currently, modest-degree melts from garnet-bearing sources are found forming some major oceanic islands. Subduction, isolation and later mixing of small amounts (<5%) of such basaltic material with more ubiquitous ambient mantle can account for the isotopic characteristics of the enriched São Miguel source. Yet the incompatible element ratios of the enriched São Miguel lavas do not show “recycled” signatures of near-surface alteration nor subduction zone dehydration. Thus, we infer that the enriched component was originally under-plated basalt, intruded into oceanic mantle lithosphere rather than forming the island edifice itself. Since the extreme isotope compositions of São Miguel reflect unextraordinary, albeit ancient, magmatic fractionation, the general rarity of such signatures indicates the efficiency of mantle processes in homogenising or hiding similar sources.  相似文献
