Single-crystal X-ray, optical, and microprobe study of pyroxenes in the Serra de Magéfeldspar cumulate eucrite indicate complex exsolution features from a slow cooling history. Two pyroxenes now exist: “low” orthohypersthene ( P21ca) as host ( ～82 vol.%) and augite ( C2/c) in four distinct habits. This pyroxene pair yields an apparent “equilibration” temperature of ～900°. These relations are typical for orthopyroxene of both the Stillwater and Kintoki-San types, indicating an original pigeonite pyroxene with a bulk composition En51Fs39Wo10. Variations in augite-hypersthene textural relationships suggest variable initial compositions from about Wo8 to Wo11. The bulk composition is intermediate to those of initial pigeonites in Moama and Moore County but the augite-hypersthene tie line is longer suggesting a slower cooling history. Our examinations of all three meteorites show that Serra de Magéaugite lamellae are as thick or thicker than those in the other meteorites, contrary to the measurement of Miyamoto and Takeda. The compositional data, textural relations, and existence of P21ca hypersthene suggest at least a comparable if not slower cooling history for Serra de Magé.  相似文献

Apollo 15 sample 15597, from the rim of Hadley Rille, is a pyroxene vitrophyre consisting primarily of acicular pyroxene phenocrysts and glass matrix. The pyroxene centers are a Ca-poor and Mg-rich pigeonite of Wo4En70Fs26 which zones outward to Wo15En52Fs33. The latter is in contact with an epitaxial augite overgrowth of Wo30En40Fs30 which itself zones to a Mg-poor but still Ca-rich ferroaugite of Wo32En10Fs58. Toward the rims, Al2O3 and TiO2 contents increase to a maximum of 13.8 and 3.5 wt% respectively. These zoning trends are attributed to pyroxene crystallization in the absence of co-crystallization of plagioclase or a Ti-rich phase. Grains of chromite and native nickeliron are disseminated throughout the rock. The chromites have the highest Cr2O3 and V2O3 contents (～ 55and1.8wt%) of any reported lunar spinel, and appear to have formed for the most part before pyroxene crystallization began.Textural evidence, including the vitrophyric nature of the sample itself, the unusual compositions of the pigeonite centers (high Mg and low Ca) and chromites (high Cr), and the extreme chemical zonation of the pyroxenes all give strong evidence that this rock arrived at the lunar surface in an essentially entirely liquid state, and that eruption was followed by metastable pigeonite nucleation, rapid metastable growth and continued metastable pyroxene nucleation, and final solidification. It thus may represent one of the best examples of a mare basalt completely unaffected by local differentiation.  相似文献

Two synthetic pyroxenes (FeSiO3, MgSiO3) and five natural pyroxenes with compositions of about Fs80En20, Fs60En40, Fs50En50, Fs40En60, and Fs20En80 have been subjected to pressures up to250 ± 50kbars at a temperature of about1500 ± 200°C in a diamond anvil cell heated by an infrared laser beam. After quenching and unloading X-ray data analysis indicates that (1) those with Mg less than 50% undergo the following reactions: 2(Mg,Fe)SiO3 (pyroxene) → (Mg,Fe)2SiO4 (spinel) + SiO2 (stishovite) → 2(Mg,Fe)O (magnesiowu¨stite) + SiO2 (stishovite) with increase of pressure, and (2) those with Mg higher than 60%, undergo the following reactions: 2(Mg,Fe)SiO3 (pyroxene) → (Mg,Fe)2SiO4 (spinel) + SiO2 (stishovite) → 2(Mg,Fe)SiO3 (hexagonal phase) → 2(Mg,Fe)O (magnesiowu¨stite) + SiO2 (stishovite) with increase of pressure.  相似文献

Tholeiitic basalt glasses from the FAMOUS area of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge are among the most primitive basaltic liquids reported from the ocean basins. One of the more primitive of these[Mg/(Mg+Fe2+) = 0.68;Ni= 232ppm;TiO2 = 0.61] glasses (572-1-1) was selected for an experimental investigation. This study found olivine to be the liquidus phase from 1 atm to 10.5 kbar where it is replaced by clinopyroxene. The sequence of appearance of phases at 1 atm pressure is olivine (1268°C), plagioclase (1235°C) and clinopyroxene (1135°C). The sample is multiply saturated at 10.5 kbar with olivine (Fo88), clinopyroxene (Wo32En60Fs9), and orthopyroxene (Wo5En83Fs12). From the 1-atm data we have measured (FeO/MgO) olivine/(FeO*/MgO) liquid (K′D) for olivine-melt pairs equilibrated at 12 temperatures in the range 1268–1205°C.K′D varies from 0.30 at 1205°C to 0.27 at 1268°C. Analysis of high-pressure olivine melt pairs indicates a systematic increase inK′D with pressure.Evaluation of the 1-atm experiments reveals that fractionation of olivine followed by olivine + plagioclase can generate much of the variation in major element chemistry observed in the FAMOUS basalt glasses. However, it cannot account for the entire spectrum of glass compositions — particularly with respect to TiO2 and Na2O. The variations in these components are such as to require different primary liquids.Comparison of clinopyroxene microphenocrysts/xenocrysts found in oceanic tholeiites with experimental clinopyroxenes reveal that the majority of those in the tholeiites may have crystallized from the magma at pressures greater than ～ 10 kbar and are not accidental xenocrysts. Clinopyroxene fractionation at high pressures may be a viable mechanism for fractionating basaltic magmas.The major and minor element mineral/meltK′d's from our experiments have been used to model the source region residual mineralogy for given percentages of partial melting. These data suggest that ～20% partial melting of a lherzolite source containing 0–10% clinopyroxene can generate the major and minor element concentrations in the parental magmas of the Project FAMOUS basalt glasses.  相似文献

Ibitira meteorite is interpreted as a strongly metamorphosed, unbrecciated, vesicular eucrite with a primary variolitic and secondary hornfelsic texture dominated by 60% pyroxene (bulk composition En37Fs48Wo15 exsolved into lamellae several micrometers wide of augite En32Fs27Wo41 and pigeonite En40Fs56Wo4) and 30% plagioclase An94 (mosaic extinction and variable structural state). Minor phases are 5% tridymite plates one-quarter occupied by plagioclase (An94) inclusions; several percent intergrowths of ilmenite and Ti-chromite with trace kamacite Fe99Co0.5Ni0.2 and narrow olivine (Fa83) rims; one grain of low-Ti-chromite enclosed in tridymite; trace troilite with kamacite Fe98Co1.0Ni0.9. Euhedral ilmenite, Ti-chromite, plagioclase and merrillite in vesicles indicate vapor deposition. These properties can be explained by a series of processes including at least the following: (1) igneous crystallization under pressure low enough to allow vesiculation, (2) prolonged metamorphism, perhaps associated with vapor deposition and reduction, to produce the coarse exsolution of the pyroxene and the coarse ilmenite-chromite intergrowths, (3) strong shock which affected the plagioclase and tridymite but not the pyroxene, (4) sufficient annealing to allow recrystallization of the plagioclase and tridymite, and partial conversion to the low structural state of the former.  相似文献

A single crystal of untwinned orthopyroxene from lunar anorthosite sample 15415, with composition (Mg1.14Fe0.80Mn0.02Ca0.04)(Si1.97Al0.03)O6, has a unit cell in space groupPbca witha = 18.310(15)Å,b = 8.904(10)Å,c = 5.214(7)Å, containing 2 formula units. A set of 742 counter-measured intensity data made with MoKα radiation has been used to refine the crystal structure in isotropic thermal mode toR = 0.116. Anisotropic refinement led toR = 0.092, but thermal parameters are distorted by non-random errors resulting from poor crystal texture. The resulting structure is in close agreement with that obtained by Ghose [9] for a hypersthene from Greenland. A parameterq, which gives (MgqFe1?q) for cation siteM(1) and (Mg1.14?qFeq?0.18Ca0.04) for siteM(2), was included in the least-squares analysis, yieldingq = 0.90(1).This orthopyroxene has the high degree of cation order expected of pyroxenes subjected to Apollonian metamorphism at lower than 500–600°C. No evidence exists for a subsequent thermal event of sufficient intensity to disorder the pyroxene. On the basis of previous laboratory studies of argon-release patterns of lunar plagioclase and order-disorder kinetics of terrestrial pyroxenes, we attribute the reported isotopic age (3.9–4.1 AE) to cessation of metamorphism, perhaps caused by impact excavation.  相似文献

The reaction between enstatite (En95.3Fs4.7) and CaCO3 has been studied at pressures between 23 and 77 kbars and at temperatures between 800° and 1400°C. At 1000°C enstatite and CaCO3 react to form dolomite and diopside solid solutions at pressures below approximately 45 kbars and magnesite and diopside solid solutions at higher pressures. The curve for the reaction dolomitess + enstatitess ? magnesitess + diopsidess lies between 40 to 45 kbars at 1000°C and between 45 and 50 kbars at 1200°C. It is very close to the graphite-diamond transition curve. These experimental results indicate that calcite (or aragonite) is unstable in the presence of enstatite, and that dolomite and magnesite are the stable carbonates at high pressures. The forsterite + aragonite assemblage is, however, stable to at least 80 kbars at 800°C. It is suggested that in the upper mantle where enstatite is present, dolomite is stable to depths of about 150 km and magnesite is stable at greater depths in the continental regions, assuming that the partial pressure of CO2 is equal or close to the total pressure. It is also suggested that carbonate inclusions in pyroxene can be used as an indicator of the depth of their equilibration; dolomite inclusions in enstatite would be formed at depths shallower than 150 km and magnesite inclusions in diopside at greater depths. Eclogite and peridotite inclusions in kimberlite may be classified on this basis.  相似文献

The crystal structure of fassaite from the Angra dos Reis meteorite has been determined by least-squares refinement of three-dimensional X-ray data to anR value of 3.3%. The pyroxene is monoclinic, space groupC2/c, with unit-cell dimensionsa = 9.738(1),b = 8.874(2),c = 5.2827(5)Å, β = 105.89(1)°, andV = 439.1(1)Å3. Average bond lengths are (Si,Al)-O = 1.651, M1-O = 2.061, and M2-O = 2.489Å. The distribution of iron and magnesium between M1 and M2 suggests a temperature of equilibration greater than 1000°C.Electron microprobe analysis of several fassaite grains reveals small but statistically significant variations of (Mg + Si) versus (Al - Ti). The range of fassaite composition may be represented byEn3Hd22TiCpx6(Di53±2CaTs16?2) whereEn=Mg2Si2O6,Hd=CaFeSi2O6,TiCpx=CaTiAl2O6,Di=CaMgSi2O6,CaTs=CaAl2SiO6. Most fassaite analyses calculated on the basis of four cations yielded greater than six anions, suggesting that part of the titanium or chromium might be reduced to Ti3+ or Cr2+.  相似文献

Plagioclase in cataclastic anorthosite 67075 occurs as angular matrix grains and as recrystallized clasts of micro-anorthosite. Olivines are Fe-rich and fall into two compositional groupings. Large grains of pyroxene show exceptionally well-developed exsolution lamellae analogous to those observed in pyroxenes from layered complexes. The low-Ca component in both pigeonites and augites shows varying degrees of inversion to orthopyroxene. The lattices of host and lamellae may deviate slightly (up to 2°) from the ideal orientation. Very slow cooling from magmatic temperatures is required to produce the coarse exsolution textures and inversion features. Augite macrocrystals are distinctly subcalcic indicating crystallization at temperatures around1100 ± 50°C while host-lamellae pairs and small grains in lithic clasts and matrix indicate reequilibration on a micron scale to temperatures less than 800°C. Pyroxene compositions tend to cluster into two groups both of which are among the most Fe-rich reported for highland pyroxenes. Ti and Al contents of pyroxenes are very low and Ti, Cr, and Mn follow well-established magmatic differentiation trends. The high Cr content may reflect low?O2 conditions and/or early crystallization of olivine and plagioclase.The87Sr/86Sr ratios in lunar anorthosites are the lowest reported for any lunar rock. It is likely that anorthosites formed as cumulates during the major differentiation episode which occurred prior to～4.3AE. Recrystallization features are common and39Ar/40Ar ages cluster around 4.0 AE. This may be the result of the intense bombardment prior to 4.0 AE which caused repeated cycles of in-situ fracturing and granulation followed by recrystallization. The low siderophile element content and the inferred slow cooling indicate a plutonic source region (10km) not frequently plumbed by impact events. The Fe-rich silicates indicate crystallization from a melt at an advanced stage of fractionation. However, the low REE abundances are not consistent with late-stage crystallization. Plagioclase apparently crystallized relatively early and was concentrated by flotation and/or convection currents while the mafic minerals crystallized from a fractionated trapped liquid. The chemical, isotopic, and mineralogical data place stringent constraints on the nature of genetically related rocks and the relationship of anorthosites to other members of the ANT suite does not appear to be one ofsimple fractionation. The data presented in this paper are consistent with the Taylor-Jake?model of lunar evolution.  相似文献

The enstatite-diopside solvus in the system Mg2Si2O6-CaMgSi2O6 has been experimentally determined within the pressure range 5–40 kbars and the temperature range 900–1500°C. Experiments involving reversal of the phase boundaries by unmixing from glass starting material and by reaction of pure clinoenstatite and diopside showed difficulty in achieving equilibration due to persistence of metastable, subcalcic clinopyroxene and to the sluggishness of reaction rate. The experimental data showed that the temperature dependence of the diopside limb is less than previously accepted. At 1500°C and 30 kbars subcalcic diopside found by Davis and Boyd (1966) is shown to be metastable with respect to enstatite and more calcic diopside of composition En42.3Di57.7. The solvus widens with increasing pressure between 5 and 40 kbars at 1200°C, but at 900°C the pressure effect on the solvus is very small. The stability relationships of the four pyroxenes, protoenstatite, enstatite, iron-free pigeonite and diopside are summarized, based on data from the literature and the present study.  相似文献

Water and nutrient fluxes were studied during a 12-month period in an alerce (Fitzroya cupressoides) forest, located in a remote site at the Cordillera de la Costa (40°05′S) in southern Chile. Measurements of precipitation, throughfall, stemflow, effective precipitation, soil infiltration and stream flow were carried out in an experimental, small watershed. Simultaneously, monthly water samples were collected to determine the concentrations and transport of organic-N, NO3-N, total-P, K+, Ca2+, Na+ and Mg2+ in all levels of forest. Concentration of organic-N, NO3-N, total-P and K+ showed a clear pattern of enrichment in the throughfall, stemflow, effective precipitation and soil infiltration. For Ca2+ and Mg2+, enrichment was observed in the effective precipitation, soil infiltration and stream flow. Annual transport of K+, Na+, Ca2+ and Mg2+ showed that the amounts exported from the forest via stream flow (K+=0·95, Na+=32·44, Ca2+=8·76 and Mg2+=7·16 kg ha−1 yr−1) are less than the inputs via precipitation (K+=6·39, Na+=40·99, Ca2+=15·13 and Mg2+=7·61 kg ha−1 yr−1). The amounts of organic-N and NO3-N exported via stream flow (organic-N=1·04 and No3-N=3·06 kg ha−1 yr−1) were relatively small; however, they represented greater amounts than the inputs via precipitation (organic-N=0·74 and NO3-N=0·97 kg ha−1 yr−1), because of the great contribution of this element in the superficial soil horizon, where the processes of decomposition of organic material, mineralization and immobilization of the nutrients occurs. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.  相似文献

Shirouma-Oike volcano, a Quaternary composite volcano in central Japan, consists mostly of calc-alkaline andesitic lavas and pyroclastic rocks. Products of the earlier stage of the volcano (older group) are augite-hypersthene andesite. Hornblende crystallized during the later stage of this older group, whereas biotite and quartz crystallized in the younger group.Assemblages of phenocrysts in disequilibrium, such as magnesian olivine(Fo30)/quartz, iron-rich hypersthene(En55)/iron-poor augite(Wo43.5, En42.5, Fs14.0), and two different types of zoning on the rim of clinopyroxene are found in a number of rocks. Detailed microprobe analyses of coexisting minerals reveal that phenocrysts belong to two distinctly different groups; one group includes magnesian olivine + augite which crystallized from a relatively high-temperature (above 1000°C) basaltic magma; the second group, which crystallized from relatively low temperature (about 800°C) dacitic to andesitic magma, includes hypersthene + hornblende + biotite + quartz + plagioclase + titanomagnetite ± ilmenite (in the younger group) and hypersthene + augite + plagioclase + titanomagnetite ± hornblende (in the older group). The temperature difference between the two magmas is clarified by Mg/Fe partition between clinopyroxene and olivine, and Fe-Ti oxides geothermometer. The compositional zoning of minerals, such as normal zoning of olivine and magnesian clinopyroxene, and reverse zoning of orthopyroxene, indicate that the basaltic and dacitic-andesitic magmas were probably mixed in a magma reservoir immediately before eruption. It is suggested that the basaltic magma was supplied intermittently from a deeper part to the shallower magma reservoir, in in which dacitic-andesitic magma had been fractionating.  相似文献

Mount Cameroon (4,095 m high and with a volume of ~1,200 km3) is one of the most active volcanoes in Africa, having erupted seven times in the last 100 years. This stratovolcano of basanite and hawaiite lavas has an elliptical shape, with over a hundred cones around its flanks and summit region aligned parallel to its NE--SW-trending long axis. The 1999 (28 March–22 April) eruption was restricted to two sites: ~2,650 m (site 1) and ~1,500 m (site 2). Similarly, in the eruption in 2000 (28 May–19 June), activity occurred at two sites: ~4,095 m (site 1) and ~3,300 m (site 2). During both eruptions, the higher vents were more explosive, with strombolian activity, while the lower vents were more effusive. Accordingly, most of the lava (~8×107 m3 in 1999 and ~6×106 m3 in 2000) was emitted from the lower sites. The 1999–2000 lavas are predominantly basanites with low Ni (5–79 ppm), Cr (40–161 ppm) and mg numbers (34–40). Olivine (Fo77–85, phenocrysts and Fo68–72, microlites), clinopyroxene (Wo47En41Fs10 to Wo51En34Fs15), plagioclase (An49–67) and titanomagnetite are the principal phenocryst and groundmass phases. The lavas contain xenocrysts of olivine and clinopyroxene, which are interpreted as fragments of intrusive rocks disrupted by magma ascent. Major and trace element characteristics point to early fractionation of olivine. The clinopyroxenes (Al2O3 1.36–7.83 wt%) have high Aliv/Alvi ratios (1.3–1.8) and are rich in TiO2, characteristics typical of low pressure clinopyroxenes. Geochemical differences between the 1999–2000 lavas and those from previous eruptions, such as higher Nb/Zr of the former, suggest that different eruptions discharged magmas that evolved differently in space and time. Geophysical and petrological data indicate that these fractionated magmas originated just below the geophysical Moho (at 20–22 km) in the lithospheric mantle. During ascent, the magmas disrupted intrusions and earlier magma pockets. The main ascent path is below the summit, where newly arrived magma degasses. Degassed magma simultaneously intrudes the flank rift zones where most lava is extruded.An erratum to this article can be found at  相似文献

Solute concentrations and fluxes in rainfall, throughfall and stemflow in two forest types, and stream flow in a 90 ha catchment in southern Chile (39°44′S, 73°10′W) were measured. Bulk precipitation pH was 6·1 and conductivity was low. Cation concentrations in rainfall were low (0·58 mg Ca2+ l?1, 0·13 mg K+ l?1, 0·11 mg Mg2+ l?1 and <0·08 mg NH4–N l?1), except for sodium (1·10 mg l?1). Unexpected high levels of nitrate deposition in rainfall (mean concentration 0·38 mg NO3–N l?1, total flux 6·3 kg NO3–N ha?1) were measured. Concentrations of soluble phosphorous in bulk precipitation and stream flow were below detection limits (<0·09 mg l?1) for all events. Stream‐flow pH was 6·3 and conductivity was 28·3 μs. Stream‐water chemistry was also dominated by sodium (2·70 mg l?1) followed by Ca, Mg and K (1·31, 0·70 and 0·36 mg l?1). The solute budget indicated a net loss of 3·8 kg Na+ ha?1 year?1, 5·4 kg Mg2+ ha?1 year?1, 1·5 kg Ca2+ ha?1 year?1 and 0·9 kg K+ ha?1 year?1, while 4·9 kg NO3–N ha?1 year?1 was retained by the ecosystem. Stream water is not suitable for domestic use owing to high manganese and, especially, iron concentrations. Throughfall and stemflow chemistry at a pine stand (Pinus radiata D. Don) and a native forest site (Siempreverde type), both located within the catchment, were compared. Nitrate fluxes within both forest sites were similar (1·3 kg NO3–N ha?1 year?1 as throughfall). Cation fluxes in net rainfall (throughfall plus stemflow) at the pine stand generally were higher (34·8 kg Na+ ha?1 year?1, 21·5 kg K+ ha?1 year?1, 5·1 kg Mg2+ ha?1 year?1) compared with the secondary native forest site (24·7 kg Na+ ha?1 year?1, 18·9 kg K+ ha?1 year?1 and 4·4 kg Mg2+ ha?1 year?1). However, calcium deposition beneath the native forest stand was higher (15·9 kg Ca2+ ha?1 year?1) compared with the pine stand (12·6 kg Ca2+ ha?1 year?1).

The area of north Evia and eastern central Greece is characterized by strong geomorphological contrast and is built up mainly of consolidated rocks. Unconsolidated young sediments of Pleistocene to Holocene age cover the valley and basin flats, forming the most productive aquifers in this area. However, two more types of aquifers can be distinguished within the consolidated rock area. The first one is associated with karstified limestones and the second with strongly tectonized ultramafic rocks. The schist–chert formation, with intercalations of shales and cherts, seals the ultramafic masses underneath. Surface and spring waters associated with ultramafic rocks in north Evia and eastern central Greece were studied. Two types of water can be distinguished: (1) high Mg2+ and SiO2 , bicarbonate as the dominant anion, pH 7·4–9·2, temperature 9·5–16·3 °C, low TDS (total dissolved solutes) (459–1037 mg/l), found both in peridotite and serpentinite areas, classified as Mg–HCO3 type; (2) high Ca2+, low Mg2+ and SiO2 , hydroxyl ion as the major anion, pH 11·2, temperature 28 °C, very low TDS (122 mg/l), found in peridotite areas, classified as Ca–OH type. The studied waters are highly supersaturated with respect to quartz, amorphous silica, brucite and most low temperature magnesium silicates (antigorite, sepiolite, talc, etc.). These waters show relatively narrow SiO2 concentration ranges and a trend parallel to the amorphous silica saturation surface. The silica supersaturated waters have the potential to precipitate silica and consequently could affect the people of the local communities that use it as drinking water, causing health problems (kidney stones).

Equilibrium reversals of Fe2+Mg distribution between the M1 and M2 sites of an orthopyroxene from the Johnstown meteorite were achieved at several temperatures between 700 and 1000°C. One single crystal was used for the whole thermal treatment and for collecting all the X-ray data after quenching. The intracrystalline ion exchange for the bulk chemical composition: (Mg1.453Fe0.441Cr0.024Ca0.054Mn0.015Fe0.005Ti0.003Al0.005)(Si1.960Al0.040)O6 is given by: ln KD = −3027(±39)/T(K) + 0.872(±0.013)> where KD is the distribution coefficient for the reaction: FeM22+ + MgM1 = MgM2 + FeM12+.A transmission electron microscopy (TEM) study of part of the crystal showed the presence of very thin augite lamellae and Guinier-Preston zones indicating a relatively rapid cooling of the host rock at temperatures close to 1000°C. The new temperature scale yields a relatively high quenching temperature of 379 (±8)°C for the pyroxene which appears consistent with a rapid cooling (estimated few degrees per hundred years) of a magmatic cumulate excavated by an impact on its parental body.  相似文献

The electrical conductivity of a single crystal of San Carlos olivine (Fo92, 0.16 wt.% Fe2O3) has been measured as a function of temperature and oxygen fugacity (fO2). After heating to 1338°C at fO2 = 10?12 atm., the conductivity at 950°C was 10?5 (ohm-m)?1, almost 3 orders of magnitude less than that measured in air. This decrease is due to the reduction of Fe3+ to Fe2+. Further heating to 1500°C at fO2 = 10?14 atm., decreased the electrical conductivity at 950°C to 10?6 (ohm-m)?1. When recovered at room temperature, the speciment had Fo96 composition and contained small, opaque blebs distributed throughout the crystal. Derivations of temperature profiles for the earth's mantle from conductivity-depth models must take account of the important role played by iron oxidation state in the electrical conductivity of olivine.  相似文献

A study of the chemical trends displayed by lunar armalcolites has been made in conjunction with single-crystal X-ray structure refinements of lunar and synthetic armalcolite in order to assess the possible importance of Ti3+ in lunar armalcolite and to characterize the effects of cation substitutions on the structure. The apparent cation deficiencies found in lunar armalcolites analyzed with the electron microprobe most likely reflect the presence of Ti3+, although the existence of vacancies cannot be ruled out. Structure refinements of an Apollo 17 armalcolite are consistent with either interpretation. These results support experimental evidence suggesting the presence of Ti3+ in armalcolite and indicate that virtually all lunar armalcolites probably contain ～4–11 mol.% Ti23+Ti4+O5 component in solid solution. The cation distribution in lunar armalcolite is essentially completely ordered. However, synthetic crystals quenched from near 1200°C have been found to retain significant cation disorder.  相似文献

In 1874 and 1875 the fissure swarm of Askja central volcano was activated during a major rifting episode. This rifting resulted in a fissure eruption of 0.3 km3 basaltic magma in Sveinagja graben, 50 to 70 km north of Askja and subsequent caldera collapse forming the Oskjuvatn caldera within the main Askja caldera. Five weeks after initial collapse, an explosive mixed magma eruption took place in Askja. On the basis of matching chemistry, synchronous activity and parallels with other rifted central volcanoes, the events in Askja and its lissure swarm are attributed to rise of basaltic magma into a high-level reservoir in the central volcano, subsequent rifting of the reservoir and lateral flow magma within the fissure swarm to emerge in the Sveinagja eruption. This lateral draining of the Askja reservoir is the most plausible cause for caldera collpse. The Sveinagja basalt belong to the group of evolved tholejites characteristie of several Icelandic central volcanoes and associated fissure swarms. Such tholeiites, with Mgvalues in the 40 to 50 tange, represent magmas which have suffered extensive fractional crystallization within the crust. The 12% porphyritic Sveinagja basalt contains phenocrysts of olivine (Fo62–67), plagioclase (An57–62), clinopyroxene (Wo38En46Wo16) and titanomagnetite. Extrusion temperature of the lava, calculated on the basis of olivine and plagioclase geothermometry, is found to be close to 1150°C.  相似文献

Magnetic properties and crystal structure parameters of synthetic solid solutions Fe3O4Fe3TiO4, Fe2O4MgFe2O4 and Fe3O4Mg2TiO4 have been studied. Basic regularities in the behaviour of saturation magnetisation (Is), Curie temperature (TC) and cubic lattice parameter a during the substitution of Ti and Mg ions for Fe ions have been found. As the concentration of Ti ions increases, Is reduces from 70 Gs·cm3 g?1 to 0, TC changes from 580 to 130°C and a from 8.391 to 8.520 Å. Growth of the Mg concentration leads to changes in Is to 19.8 Gs·cm3, g?1, TC, to 440°C and a, to 8.360 Å. The full Fe ions substitution gives “a”=8.440 A?.Chemical compositions of the samples, in which the valency variation of Fe ions at oxidation leads to an increase in susceptibility and TC, have been determined.  相似文献
