This study reports a new rodingite type which was derived from eclogite enclosed in the ultramafic rocks of Changawuzi ophiolites, western Tianshan, China. Based on petrographical investigations, rodingite, partial rodingitized rock and completely rodingitized rock are characterized in this paper. These rocks show a continuous variation in their bulk compositions, mineralogy and their textural properties from eclogite to rodingite. The completely rodingitized rocks can be further divided into prehnite rodingites, hydrogrossular‐diopside rodingite and vesuvianite rodingites on the basis of the mineral assemblage and textural character. The chemical potential path of μ(SiO2)–μ(CaO/MgO) can be used to constrain the evolution of two stages of rodingitization. The first rodingitization possibly started under conditions of 410–430 °C and 7–9 kbar at upper greenschist facies, and resulted from a secondary serpentinization during exhumation of the subducted slab. A second and pervasive rodingitization took place under conditions of 250–350 °C and 2–10 kbar from greenschist to subgreenschist facies. The P–T path presented shows a retrograde evolution from eclogite to rodingite. We conclude that the process of rodingitization may also take place under subduction zone conditions in addition to its more common occurrence under ocean‐floor metamorphic conditions. 相似文献

New data on local mineral associations and the microheterogeneity of minerals and fluid inclusions in gabbro were obtained for the gabbro–peridotite oceanic core complex with a long-lived detachment fault controlling the hydrothermal activity. It is assumed that the hydrothermal hydrogen-bearing fluid with a NaCl content of >30 wt % is formed in the seawater/harzburgite (~1/5) reaction of serpentinization. The brine residual after serpentinization interacted with gabbro at the final stages of crystallization of an intrusion and assimilated some components (K, REEs, and Ba) from the residual melt. The interaction was resulted in metamorphic transformations of gabbro at decreasing temperature below 500°C. The reaction of the decomposition of magmatic titanomagnetite with the transition of iron reduced to Fe2+ into newly formed chlorinebearing amphibole at 540–450°C and logf(O2) from–20 to–24 is shown.

The rodingite belt in the Karabash massif situated 40 km north of Miass is continuously traced for 2.5 km along its central part. Rodingites bear up to 1% sulfide disseminations and gold particles with high Cu content (up to 40 wt %) throughout the belt. The central part of the rodingite belt is especially rich in gold, which was mined at the Zolotaya Gora (Gold Mountain) deposit. The Au-bearing rodingite belt is zonal and was formed during three stages. The inner zone is composed of chlorite-andradite-diopside rock of the first stage, which is crosscut by diopside veinlets of the second stage and calcite veinlets of the third stage. The intermediate zone consists of fine-grained chloritolite of the first stage and coarse-grained chlorite veinlets of the second stage. The outer zone of the metasomatic column is occupied by antigorite and chrysotile-lizardite serpentinites. No relict rocks or minerals of the replaced protolith have been established except sporadic Cr-spinel grains. Native gold was being deposited during all periods of rodingite formation. In terms of the currently adopted concept of evolution of the Ural Foldbelt, the Sm-Nd isochron age of rodingite estimated at 369.4 ± 8.8 Ma corresponds to the period of collisional compression of Silurian-Devonian oceanic and island-arc complexes and upward pushing out of a block of the melanocratic basement underlying these complexes. A proposed model of rodingite formation is based on ore mineralogy, REE geochemistry, and thermobarogeochemical and isotopic study of minerals. It is suggested that in contrast to the barren bimetasomatic rodingite replacing dikes, the studied rodingite are considered to be fissure veins accompanied by metasomatic alteration of host serpentinite. The estimation of initial isotopic composition of fluid components indicates that the ore-bearing fluid is of metamorphic origin (δDfl = ?4 to ?13‰ and δ18Ofl = 5.9 to 8.3‰). The fluid was formed as a product of dehydration of oceanic serpentinite at the base of melanocratic rocks and related gabbroids that moved out to the surface. These rocks were a source of gold and other components (Ca, Al, Ti, Cu, Ni, REE, P, etc.). 相似文献

The investigated mantle bodies from the External Ligurians (Groppo di Gorro and Mt. Rocchetta) show evidences of a complex evolution determined by an early high temperature metasomatism, due to percolating melts of asthenospheric origin, and a later metasomatism at relatively high temperature by hydrothermal fluids, with formation of rodingites. At Groppo di Gorro, the serpentinization and chloritization processes obliterated totally the pyroxenite protolith, whereas at Mt. Rocchetta relics of peridotite and pyroxenite protoliths were preserved from serpentinization. The rodingite parageneses consist of diopside + vesuvianite + garnet + calcite + chlorite at Groppo di Gorro and garnet + diopside + serpentine ± vesuvianite ± prehnite ± chlorite ± pumpellyite at Mt. Rocchetta. Fluid inclusion measurements show that rodingitization occurred at relatively high temperatures (264–334 °C at 500 bar and 300–380 °C at 1 kbar). Garnet, the first phase of rodingite to form, consists of abundant hydrogarnet component at Groppo di Gorro, whereas it is mainly composed of grossular and andradite at Mt. Rocchetta. The last stage of rodingitization is characterized by the vesuvianite formation. Hydrogarnet nucleation requires high Ca and low silica fluids, whereas the formation of vesuvianite does not need CO2-poor fluids. The formation of calcite at Groppo di Gorro points to mildly oxidizing conditions compatible with hydrothermal fluids; the presence of andradite associated with serpentine and magnetite at Mt. Rocchetta suggests Fe3+-bearing fluids with fO2 slightly higher than iron-magnetite buffer. We propose that the formation of the studied rodingite could be related to different pulses of hydrothermal fluids mainly occurring in an ocean-continent transitional setting and, locally, in an accretionary prism associated with intra-oceanic subduction. 相似文献

蛇绿岩地幔橄榄岩中产出的豆荚状铬铁矿是铬的主要来源,是中国极缺的重要战略资源。开展豆荚状铬铁矿成矿作用及围岩地幔橄榄岩的研究,是进一步寻找铬铁矿床和缓解中国铬铁矿资源的瓶颈状态的必要手段。本文以西藏雅鲁藏布江蛇绿岩带内几个主要的地幔橄榄岩体及其中的铬铁矿体为研究主体。在野外地质调查的基础上,系统总结了蛇绿岩的组成、矿物成分、岩石地球化学成分和Re-Os同位素等特征,探讨铬铁矿和地幔橄榄岩的形成过程,取得以下进展和认识:(1)雅鲁藏布江缝合带各段的岩石组合存在较大差异,构造背景的演化过程也不同,佐证了特提斯洋演化过程的不均一性;(2)在雅江西段存在高铝型和高铬型两类铬铁矿矿体,其余都为高铬型铬铁矿,铬尖晶石的矿物化学特征记录了不同构造背景的痕迹;(3)地幔橄榄岩的矿物学和地球化学表明地幔橄榄岩及铬铁矿具有深海地幔橄榄岩和岛弧地幔橄榄岩两者的特点,是岩石/熔体反应和部分熔融作用叠加的结果;(4)提出豆荚状铬铁矿为多阶段形成的认识,经历了早期俯冲到地幔过渡带,在地幔柱/地幔对流驱动下,运移到过渡带顶部冷凝固结,在侵位过程和俯冲带环境,含水熔体与方辉橄榄岩反应的过程;(5)在雅鲁藏布江缝合带中金刚石等超高压矿物的普遍存在,西段的几个大型岩体与罗布莎存在较多相似之处,均经历了相同的构造背景和豆荚状铬铁矿的成矿作用,存在较大的找矿空间。 相似文献

新疆西天山长阿吾子异剥钙榴岩是目前首例发现的在俯冲带形成的原岩为榴辉岩的异剥钙榴岩,与其作用的流体为俯冲带流体。该异剥钙榴岩与大洋底变质作用形成的异剥钙榴岩相比,岩石学特征非常相似,但是元素迁移方面存在一定的差别。为了推断流体成分,我们使用了三种方法。一、测试了异剥钙榴岩化前后主要矿物相石榴石和辉石化学成分。二、在ACF图上,可以看出全岩成分从F端元向C端元演化,代表Fe减少,Ca增加的趋势,而且完全异剥钙榴岩成分落在了前人所做的异剥钙榴岩成分区间内。三、假设Al为不迁移元素,根据Grant的计算方法,做出主量元素、微量元素和REE的等浓度图。综合以上分析结果推断,俯冲带中流体的成分是复杂和变化的:部分异剥钙榴岩化阶段流体富集Ca、Si、Ti、Mn、Nb、Ta、Zr、Hf,贫乏Fe、Mg、Na、K、REE、Tb、Y,氧逸度升高,流体属于不饱和状态,因此导致不平衡结构发育;完全异剥钙榴岩阶段,流体富集Ca、Mg、LREE、Ni、Cr,贫乏Fe、Ti、Rb、Ba、MREE、HREE等元素,此时流体作用强烈,富水流体相的强烈淋滤作用,使得大部分元素发生了迁移。 相似文献

Serpentinized ultramafic rocks occur in two separate basement complexes in the South Arm of Sulawesi, the Bantimala and Barru Blocks. We present petrographic, mineral chemical and geochemical data for these rocks, and interpret them in terms of petrogenesis and tectonic setting. The rocks of both blocks show strong serpentinization of original anhydrous silicates. The Bantimala ultramafics consist mainly of peridotite (harzburgite and dunite) and clinopyroxenite, with lenses of podiform chromitite. Metamorphism is evidenced by the occurrence of amphibolite-facies tremolite schist. In contrast, the Barru ultramafics consist of harzburgite peridotite and podiform chromitite, which also show an amphibolite-facies overprint that in this case may be related to intrusion by a large dacite/granodiorite body. Whole-rock trace element analyses and spinel compositions show that the Barru harzburgite is depleted relative to primitive mantle, and has had some melt extracted. In contrast, the Bantimala dunite, harzburgite and clinopyroxenite are cumulates. Both are derived from a supra-subduction zone environment, and were obducted during the closure of small back-arc basins. If there has been no rotation of the blocks, then the Bantimala ultramafics were emplaced from an ENE direction, while the Barru ultramafics were emplaced from the WNW. The ultramafic suites from these two blocks are juxtaposed with metamorphic assemblages, which were later intruded by younger volcanics, particularly in the Barru Block. 相似文献

Fluid inclusions and geological relationships indicate that rodingite formation in the Asbestos ophiolite, Québec, occurred
in two, or possibly three, separate episodes during thrusting of the ophiolite onto the Laurentian margin, and that it involved
three fluids. The first episode of rodingitization, which affected diorite, occurred at temperatures of between 290 and 360°C
and pressures of 2.5 to 4.5 kbar, and the second episode, which affected granite and slate, occurred at temperatures of between
325 and 400°C and pressures less than 3 kbar. The fluids responsible for these episodes of alteration were moderately to strongly
saline (~1.5 to 6.3 m eq. NaCl), rich in divalent cations and contained appreciable methane. A possible third episode of alteration is suggested
by primary fluid inclusions in vesuvianite-rich bodies and secondary inclusions in other types of rodingite, with significantly
lower trapping temperatures, salinity and methane content. The association of the aqueous fluids with hydrocarbon-rich fluids
containing CH4 and higher order alkanes, but no CO2, suggests strongly that the former originated from the serpentinites. The similarities in the composition of the fluids in
all rock types indicate that the ophiolite had already been thrust onto the slates when rodingitization occurred. 相似文献

Mafic and ultramafic rocks sampled in the Garrett transform fault at 13°28′S on the East Pacific Rise (EPR) provide insight
on magmatic processes occurring under a fast-spreading ridge system. Serpentinized harzburgite from Garrett have modal, mineral
and bulk chemical compositions consistent with being mantle residue of a high degree of partial melting. Along with other
EPR localities (Terevaka transform fault and Hess Deep), these harzburgites are among the most residual and depleted in magmatophile
elements of the entire mid-ocean ridge system. Geothermometric calculations using olivine-spinel pairs indicate a mean temperature
of 759 ± 25 °C for Garrett residual harzburgite similar to the average of 755 °C for tectonite peridotites from slow-spreading
ridges. Results of this study show that mid-ocean ridge peridotites are subject to both fractional melting and metasomatic
processes. Evidence for mantle metasomatism is ubiquitous in harzburgite and is likely widespread in the entire Garrett peridotite
massif. Magma-harzburgite interactions are very well preserved as pyroxenite lenses, plagioclase dunite pockets or dunitic
wall rock to intrusive gabbros. Abundant gabbroic rocks are found as intrusive pockets and dikes in harzburgite and have been
injected in the following sequence: olivine-gabbro, gabbro, gabbronorite, and ferrogabbro. The wide variety of magmas that
crystallized into gabbros contrast sharply with present-day intratransform basalts, which have a highly primitive composition.
Ferrogabbro dikes have been intruded at the ridge-transform intersection and as they represent the last event of a succession
of gabbros intrusive into the peridotite, they likely constrain the origin of the entire peridotite massif to the same location.
In peridotite massifs from Pacific transform faults (Garrett and Terevaka), primitive to fractionated basaltic magmas have
flowed and crystallized variable amounts of dunite (±plagioclase) and minor pyroxenite, followed by a succession of cumulate
gabbroic dikes which have extensively intruded and modified the host harzburgitic rocks. The lithosphere and style of magmatic
activity within a fast-slipping transform fault (outcrops of ultramafic massif, discontinuous gabbro pockets intrusive in
peridotite, magnesian and phyric basalts) are more analogous to slow-spreading Mid-Atlantic Ridge type than the East Pacific
Rise.

The analysis of early stage rodingite from the ultramafic rocks of the Xialu Massif in the Xigaze Ophiolite, Tibet, in China shows that the rodingitization involved continuous changes in fluid composition during different stages of subduction. The early stage prehnite-bearing rodingite was produced at low pressures and temperatures along extensional fractures. Samples of rodingite were collected along a profile from the center to the margin of a rodingitized intrusive igneous rock (~10 m × 30 m), and they record wide variations in bulk composition, mineralogy, and texture. The mineral assemblages, from center to margin, vary from (1) relics of primary clinopyroxene (Cpxr) and primary amphibole (Ampr) + newly formed late amphibole (Act) + primary plagioclase (Plr) + clinozoisite + prehnite + albite + chlorite + titanite + ilmenite (R1 rodingite), through (2) relics of primary clinopyroxene (Cpxr) + newly formed late clinopyroxene (Cpxn) + primary and late amphiboles (Ampr + Act) + clinozoisite + prehnite + albite + chlorite + titanite (R2 rodingite), to (3) newly formed late clinopyroxene (Cpxn) and amphibole (Act) + clinozoisite + prehnite + albite + chlorite + titanite (R3 rodingite). As a result of the metasomatic process of rodingitization, the content of CaO in the whole rock chemical composition from R1 to R3 increases, SiO2 decreases, and Na2O + K2O is almost completely removed. Mass-balance diagrams show enrichments in large ion lithophile elements such as Rb, Cs, Ba, and Pb as well as Ni during rodingitization. The central part of the rodingitized intrusion (R1 rodingite) was only slightly affected by metasomatism. On the other hand, the contents of the rare earth elements (REEs), high field strength elements (HFSEs; e.g. Zr, Nb, Ta, Hf, and Y), and some highly compatible elements such as Cr and Sc decreased slightly during rodingitization. Thermodynamic modeling based on equilibrium mineral assemblages indicates that the rodingite of the Xialu Massif formed in an H2O-saturated, CO2-rich environment. The estimated conditions of metamorphism were ~281–323 °C and 0.4–3.9 kbar, representing the subgreenschist facies. In this environment, REEs and HFSEs were soluble in the fluids and partly removed. Moreover, these prehnite rodingites formed in a progressively reducing and less alkaline environment, as indicated by decreases in f(O2) and bulk-rock Fe3+/Fe2+ ratios, and the records of fluid ΔpH from the center to the margin of the studied rodingitized intrusion. 相似文献

Lycian ophiolites located in the Western Taurides, are cut at all structural levels by dolerite and gabbro dikes. The dolerite
dikes from this area are both pristine and metamorphosed. The non-metamorphosed dikes are observed both in the peridotites
and in the metamorphic sole rocks. Accordingly, the non-metamorphosed dikes cutting the metamorphic sole were generated after
cooling of the metamorphic sole rocks. The metamorphosed dolerite dikes are only observed in the peridotites. The physical
conditions and timing of the metamorphism for the metamorphosed dolerite dikes are similar to those of the metamorphic sole
rocks of the Lycian ophiolites suggesting that the metamorphosed dolerite dikes were metamorphosed together with the metamorphic
sole rocks. Therefore, the dike injections in the western part of the Tauride Belt Ophiolites occurred before and after the
generation of the metamorphic sole rocks. All metamorphosed and non-metamorphosed dikes are considered to have the same origin
and all of them are subduction-related as inferred from whole-rock geochemistry and lead isotopes. Lead isotope compositions
of whole rocks of both dike groups cluster in a narrow field in conventional Pb isotope diagrams (206Pb/204Pb = 18.40–18.64; 207Pb/204Pb = 15.56–15.58; 208Pb/204Pb = 38.23–38.56) indicating a derivation from an isotopically homogeneous source. On the 207Pb/204Pb versus 206Pb/204Pb diagram, isotope compositions of the dikes plot slightly below the orogen curve suggesting contributions from mantle reservoir
enriched by subducted oceanic lithosphere. Such a signature is typical of island arc magmatic rocks and supports the formation
of the investigated rocks in a subduction-related environment. 相似文献

The Trinity peridotite was emplaced over metabasalts and metasedimentary rocks of the central metamorphic belt along the Devonian Trinity thrust zone. Three metamorphic events can be recognized in the Trinity peridotite: (1) antigorite (D= –63 to –65%.) formation related to regional underthrusting of the central metamorphic belt; (2) contact metamorphism associated with Mesozoic dioritic plutons; and (3) late-stage formation of lizardite ± brucite and chrysotile (D= –127 to –175%.) due to infiltration of meteoric waters. Abundant relict phases indicate incomplete reactions and strongly suggest that the availability of H2O was a controlling factor during serpentinization.Antigorite (event 1) formed as a result of infiltration into the Trinity peridotite of mixed H2O-CO2 fluids derived from the underlying central metamorphic belt. Foliation defined by magnetite veins and shear zones within antigorite serpentinites are subparallel to the Trinity thrust. The assemblage Fo + Atg + Chl + Mag ± Tr ± Carb reflects partial hydration of peridotite at 425–570° C. Talc-rich serpentinite formed along the thrust as a result of the infiltration of silica-bearing fluids. Metasomatic mass-balance calculations based on silica solubilities and the extent of antigorite serpentinization suggest that 80–175 volumes of fluid have passed through a given volume of original peridotite at the Trinity thrust.The Trinity thrust probably represents a Devonian subduction zone. Thermodynamic calculations suggest that hydration reactions account for 30–35% of the total heat released by the cooling Trinity peridotite. By analogy, similar hydration reactions are to be expected in the overlying mantle wedge of a subduction zone which act to retard cooling of the hanging wall, just as dehydration reactions delay heating of the downgoing slab. Metasomatic zones formed in peridotite at the Trinity thrust may reflect similar metasomatic processes to those proposed to occur in the mantle wedge above a subducting slab. 相似文献

Podiform chromite deposits are characteristic of the ultramafic complexes of the ophiolites. In the Limassol Forest Plutonic Complex, one of the two plutonic complexes of Troodos ophiolite, Cyprus, the deposits are located dominantly at the periphery of the serpentinite body either close to the contact between the serpentinized harzburgite (Bastite Serpentinite) and a highly cataclastic olivine-rich peridotite (Shattered Serpentinite) or at the base of the latter. The chrome ore is in the form of small pods, lenses, veins and disseminated schlieren. Detailed microscopic studies showed that the massive chromite is highly cataclastic and extensively altered to an Fe-rich chrome spinel, the ferritchromite. The chemistry of the parent chromite and the ferritchromite has been studied by electron microprobe analysis of 47 samples. Based on the stratigraphic position, mode of occurrence and chemistry of the chromite deposits it is concluded that they are similar to the exploitable deposits of Troodos Plutonic Complex at Mount Olympus and evolved through cumulative process from a magma of tholeiite character. Pervasive deformation — both metamorphic and tectonic — and serpentinization of the host rock resulted in the brecciation and mobilization of the chromite segregations. 相似文献

During regional metamorphism of the Malenco serpentinized peridotite (Sondrio, northern Italy), the mineral assemblage pentlandite-awaruite-magnetite-native copper-antigorite-brucite-olivine-diopside is formed. The opaque assemblage indicates very reduced fluids with fO2 values 4 log units below QFM. Primary fluid inclusions were trapped in diopside overgrowth, contemporaneous with the opaque assemblage. These metamorphic fluids are saline aqueous solutions (about 10.4 mol% NaCl equivalent) and contain molecular H2 of approximately 1 mol%, as shown by micro-Raman analysis and microthermometry. The fluids are interpreted to have been formed during deserpentinization at the olivine-in isograd under strong reducing conditions. 相似文献

CH4 inclusions in orogenic harzburgite: Evidence for reduced slab fluids and implication for redox melting in mantle wedge 总被引：3，自引：0，他引：3
Fluids released from the subducting oceanic lithosphere are generally accepted to cause mantle wedge peridotite melting that produces arc magmas. These fluids have long been considered to be dominated by highly oxidized H2O and CO2 as inferred from erupted arc lavas. This inference is also consistent with the geochemistry of peridotite xenoliths in some arc basalts. However, the exact nature of these fluids in the mantle wedge melting region is unknown. Here, we report observations of abundant CH4 + C + H2 fluid inclusions in olivine of a fresh orogenic harzburgite in the Early Paleozoic Qilian suture zone in Northwest China. The petrotectonic association suggests that this harzburgite body represents a remnant of a Paleozoic mantle wedge exhumed subsequently in response to the tectonic collision. The mineralogy, mineral compositions and bulk-rock trace element systematics of the harzburgite corroborate further that the harzburgite represents a high-degree melting residue in a mantle wedge environment. Furthermore, existing and new C, He, Ne and Ar isotopes of these fluid inclusions are consistent with their being of shallow (i.e., crustal vs. deep mantle) origin, likely released from serpentinized peridotites and sediments of the subducting oceanic lithosphere. These observations, if common to subduction systems, provide additional perspectives on mantle wedge melting and subduction-zone magmatism. That is, mantle wedge melting may in some cases be triggered by redox reactions; the highly reduced (∼ΔFMQ-5, i.e., 5 log units below the fayalite-magnetite-quartz oxygen fugacity buffer) CH4-rich fluids released from the subducting slab interact with the relatively oxidized (∼ΔFMQ-1) mantle wedge peridotite, producing H2O and CO2 that then lowers the solidus and incites partial melting for arc magmatism. The significance of slab-component contribution to the geochemistry of arc magmatism would depend on elemental selection and solubility in highly reduced fluids, for which experimental data are needed. We do not advocate the above to be the primary mechanism of arc magmatism, but we do suggest that the observed highly reduced fluids are present in mantle wedge peridotites and their potential roles in arc magmatism need attention. 相似文献

In the Boat Pass-Tiebaghi area of New Caledonia regional metamorphism of Cretaceous-Eocene sediments and volcanics is related to intrusion of large peridotite bodies along a well-defined west coast tectonic line. Three metamorphic zones have been mapped, passing eastwards from the ultramafic line: aragonite-lawsonite, calcite-lawsonite, and calcite-lawsonite-glaucophane. The relationship between structure, stratigraphy and metamorphic zones is simple; assemblages indicative of the highest ratio of pressure to temperature (aragonite-lawsonite zone) lie immediately adjacent to the intrusive peridotites and also occupy stratigraphically the highest position of all three metamorphic zones. Albite-bearing assemblages persist in all zones and spessartine and omphacite appear in the deepest zone (calcite-lawsonite-glaucophane). The high pressure mineralogy was developed by fluid overpressure generated from a normal to steep geothermal gradient within a sealed environment beneath the tectonically-emplaced peridotite plate. 相似文献

超基性岩的地质过程提供了地幔岩在造山带形成过程中所作的贡献,并记录了地质构造以及壳-幔之间相互作用的信息。根据现有的研究,可将俯冲带橄榄岩大致分为陆下地幔橄榄岩、基性-超基性堆晶杂岩和大洋地幔橄榄岩。文中简要评述了不同类型造山带橄榄岩的岩石学和地球化学特征。不同类型的橄榄岩所经历的地质历史不同,而留有不同的岩石学和地球化学特征。大多数造山带橄榄岩经历了高压-超高压变质作用,并受到蛇纹岩化等多期次流体和融体的交代作用,因而俯冲造山带的辉石岩和橄榄岩无论在岩石学的组成、结构和地球化学等特征方面通常表现得复杂多变。 相似文献
