苦橄岩和科马提岩都是富镁的超镁铁质火山岩,早先,学术界大多关注它们之间的相似性,而对于它们之间的差异性很少强调。于是认为二者的地球化学性质近似,成因类似,形成条件类似。本文采用全数据模式的研究方法,从数据库收集了全球太古宙全部科马提岩和后太古宙全部苦橄岩数据,对比的结果表明,太古宙科马提岩与后太古宙苦橄岩完全不同,它们之间几乎没有可比性。科马提岩与苦橄岩,不仅地球化学特征不同,而且成因不同,形成条件不同,产出时代不同,源区组成也不同。这种不同,反映了太古宙和后太古宙不可能属于同样的构造体制。太古宙是火球时代, 地球异常的热, 主导的可能是静止盖幔构造（stagnant lid tectonics）;后太古宙是热球时代,地球相对冷了许多,主导的是板块构造（plate tectonics）。科马提岩在太古宙广泛出露,无需地幔柱模式;而苦橄岩在后太古宙很少出露,才真正需要地幔柱模式。 相似文献

以往学术界更多的关注科马提岩和苦橄岩的相似性,忽略其差异。通过全数据模式,采集数据库内全球的太古宙科马提岩、后太古宙低/高钛苦橄岩数据,对比三者之间的差异发现,科马提岩更富MgO、Cr、Ni、Cs、Pb、Co和Zn,其次为低钛苦橄岩(除Co和Zn),其余主量、微量元素的含量由高至低依次为高钛苦橄岩、低钛苦橄岩、科马提岩。依据元素间的差异(如Cr/Ga、MgO/Ga、MnO/Zr、Cr/Zr等),采用密度分布函数(Density Distribution)在Matlab软件中绘制出可有效区分3类岩石的等密度判别图,并用该图对若干晚古生代"科马提岩"的岩性重新厘定。结合岩相学和地球化学特征研究表明,晚古生代"科马提岩"中,印度东部为高钛苦橄岩,越南为化学成分与科马提岩类似的低钛苦橄岩,印度拉达克地区为低钛苦橄岩。 相似文献

用一个 TiO_2/P_2O_5比值为10的恒量,来推测从38亿年到目前的原始地幔,表明地幔-地核的分异作用至少对上地幔来说,在38亿年以前就已完成。而且在早太古代(>38亿年)地幔-地壳和/或地幔内部的分异显著程度已由 Nd 和 Sr 同位素资料指示出来。球粒陨石比值对难熔的亲石元素来说(例如 Al、Zr、Y、REE)通常见到是介于非巴伯顿类型(Al-未亏损)的太古宙科马提岩和具有球粒陨石稀土模式的高镁质玄武岩之间。巴伯顿类型(Al-亏损)橄榄质科马提岩和分异岩产物(与同时代的拉斑玄武岩和非巴伯顿型科马提岩形成对照)常常发现35-38亿年的地体 Al/Ti 值仅具球粒陨石比值一半,而且重稀土和 Sc 为亏损的。这种差异可能是由于不同的岩浆产生过程(主要看法)或早太古代地幔的化学和矿物学的分层的结果。获得的 Hf 同位素资料不支持这个观点,即地幔内部的均匀性与出现在45亿年以前的地核-地幔分带有关。在主要元素和痕量元素丰度以及同位素比值方面,比较小范围的均匀性推测太古宙镁铁质和超镁铁质火山岩源类似于所推断的从全新世地幔派生的火山岩。许多太古宙镁铁质和超镁铁质火山岩显示的地球化学特征相似于典型的现代洋中脊玄武岩(轻稀土亏损),显示着主要元素和痕量元素丰度之间的内聚现象。然而,一些高镁质玄武岩以轻稀土富集和分为主要元素与某些常常不能共生的元素象 Ti、Zr、Nd、稀土及磷为特征,表明地幔富集过程与榴辉岩熔体有关。榴辉岩的出现可能与太古代俯冲或增生的与来自大陆底下未亏损的镁铁质-超镁铁质火成岩的沉没有关。太古宙大陆壳底下残留的橄榄岩造成的底侵作用和后来的地幔交代变质作用,可能在一定程度上改造壳下上地幔的痕量元素和同位素的组分。这些物质的活化能为元古宙到全新世大陆玄武岩提供主要的物源。因为化学和同位素的不均匀性是地幔内部的原始特征,为进一步了解现今地幔,需要更详细地了解早太古代和太古宙地幔作用。 相似文献

云南丽江苦橄岩Re-Os同位素地球化学初步研究 总被引：5，自引：0，他引：5
报导了云南丽江地区大具和仕满剖面12个苦橄岩和6个玄武岩的Re，Os含量和Os同位素组成。苦橄岩和玄武岩具有明显不同的Re-Os体系的特征。苦橄岩具有高的Os元素丰度［(1.5~3)×10-9］和低的Re元素丰度（<0.05×10-9）；共生的玄武岩具有低的Os元素丰度（<0.5×10-9）和相对高的Re元素丰度（<0.8×10-9）；苦橄岩具有低放射成因的 187Os/188Os 比值（0.123 3~0.126 6），而玄武岩具有高放射成因的187Os/188Os比值（0.133 8~0.157 7）。苦橄岩的Re-Os同位素特征与越南西北部二叠—三叠纪科马提岩具有低放射成因Os同位素特征相似，而玄武岩的Re-Os同位素特征与峨眉山大火成岩省（LIP）其他地区玄武岩的高放射成因的Os同位素特征相似。苦橄岩的Re-Os同位素特征表明，形成峨眉山LIP的地幔柱可能来自对流上地幔而不是深部的核-幔界面。换言之，峨眉山LIP的形成受控于岩石圈地幔过程而不是地幔柱过程。 相似文献

峨眉山大火成岩省中高Os苦橄岩的发现及地质意义 总被引：8，自引：1，他引：7
本文对峨眉山大火成岩省中苦橄岩及其共生的玄武岩进行了铂族元素(PGE)分析,结果表明苦橄岩比玄武岩的PGE含量要高至少一个数量级,并且具有明显高的Os含量,不仅比熔融程度最高的科马提岩要高,而且比原始地幔还要高,另外,还显示出超球粒陨石的Os/Ir比值(2.84～3.88)。其高的Os/Ir比值可能与岩浆上升过程中混入黑色页岩有关。部分熔融计算表明,含有0.01%硫化物的原始地幔 0.5%的外核在7%的熔融程度下,然后又被约10%的黑色页岩混染可以模拟原始岩浆的PGE含量。其Os含量及其他地球化学特征与其同时代的西伯利亚暗色岩系的相似性可能暗示了这两个大火成岩省来自于同一个起源于核-幔边界的超级地幔柱。另外,还根据苦橄岩和玄武岩PGE的含量估算了该地区PGE的成矿潜力。 相似文献

太古宙地幔的热状态是研究早期历史的核心问题之一,而科马提岩是研究早期热状态最直接的标本.科马提岩是一种无水MgO含量大于18%,具鬣刺结构的一种超镁铁质火山岩[1];它是太古代绿岩带的重要标志,被认为是高度熔融的地幔柱的产物[2,3],记录了大量地球深部过程的直接信息,其成分特征可以用来示踪太古宙地幔熔融的深度和温度并反演其形成过程[4,5].因此对了解太古代地幔的组成、热状态以及太古代绿岩带的层序和构造背景具有重要的地球化学和动力学意义6. 相似文献

The Re-Os isotopic systematics of two ca. 2.7-Ga komatiite flows from Belingwe, Zimbabwe are examined. Rhenium and Os concentrations in these rocks are similar to concentrations in other Archean, Proterozoic, and Phanerozoic komatiites. Despite the excellent preservation of primary magmatic minerals, the Re-Os systematics of whole-rock samples of the komatiites show open-system behavior. Consistent model ages for several whole-rock samples suggest a disturbance to the system during the Proterozoic. Despite the open-system behavior in the whole rocks, Re-Os systematics for concentrates of primary magmatic olivine and spinel indicate generally closed-system behavior since the magmatic event that produced the rocks. Regression of the data for the mineral concentrates yields an age of 2721 ± 21 Ga, which is consistent with Pb-Pb and Sm-Nd ages that have been previously reported for the komatiites (Chauvel et al., 1993), and an initial 187Os/188Os ratio of 0.11140 ± 84 (γOs = +2.8 ± 0.8).The 2 to 3% enrichment in 187Os/188Os ratio of the mantle source of the komatiites, relative to the chondritic composition of the contemporaneous convecting upper mantle, most likely reflects either the incorporation of substantially older (≥ 4.2 Ga), Re-rich recycled mafic crust into the mantle source of the komatiites or the contribution of suprachondritic Os to the source from the putative 187Os-enriched outer core. The former interpretation would indicate the Hadean formation and recycling of mafic crust. The latter interpretation would require early formation of a substantial inner core followed by upwelling of a mantle plume from the core-mantle boundary, at least as far back as the Late Archean. Either interpretation requires large-scale mantle convection during the first half of Earth history. 相似文献

Compositional evolution of the Archean mafic-ultramafic volcanics is considered in comparison with evolution of the Paleoproterozoic volcanism using available data on the Baltic shield, Pilbara (Australia) and Superior (Canada) cratons, and the Isua greenstone belt (Greenland). The Archean volcanics of mantle origin are of two major types, represented (a) by komatiite-basaltic complexes (komatiites, komatiitic and tholeiitic basalts) and (b) by geochemical analogs of boninites (GAB) and siliceous high-Mg series (SHMS) of volcanic rocks. As is established, the komatiitic and GAB volcanism ceased in the terminal Archean, whereas the SHMS rocks prevailed in the Paleoproterozoic to become extinct about 2 Ga ago in connection with transition to the Phanerozoic type of tectonomagmatic activity. Geochemical trends of mafic-ultramafic associations occurring in the considered cratons are not uniform, being of particular character to certain extent. With transition from the Paleo- to Neoarchean, rock associations of both types reveal a minor increase in Ti and Fe contents. Comparatively high Fe2O3tot TiO2, and P2O5 concentrations (maximal ones in the Archean), which are characteristic of the Neoarchean (2.75–2.70 Ga) basalts from the Superior and Pilbara cratons or the Baltic shield, represent a result of relatively high-Ti intracratonic magmatic activity that commenced in that period practically for the first time in the Earth history. This magmatic activity of the Neoarchean was not as intense as the high-Mg basaltic volcanism, and the absolute maximum in concentrations of the above components was attained only 2.2–1.9 Ga ago, at the time of appearance in abundance of Fe-Ti picrites and basalts typical of the Phanerozoic intraplate magmatism. The Archean volcanic complexes demonstrate gradual secular increase in concentrations of incompatible elements (LREE inclusive) and growth of Nb/Th ratio that apparently reflected the progressing influence of mantle plumes. In the early Paleoproterozoic (2.5–2.35 Ga), values of that ratio considerably declined in the SHMS rocks and then quickly grew in the Middle Paleoproterozoic volcanics (2.2–1.9 Ga) to attain finally the values typical of the Phanerozoic magmas associated in origin with mantle plumes. The ?Nd(T) parameter was decreasing with time from positive values in the Paleoarchean to negative ones in the SHMS rocks of the Paleoproterozoic most likely in response to grown proportion of ancient crustal material in magmatic melts. Since the mid-Paleoproterozoic, the ?Nd(T) values turn in general into positive again reflecting change in the character of magmatic activity: the SHMS melts gave place at that time to the Fe-Ti picrite-basaltic magmas. The primary crust of the Earth was presumably of sialic composition and originated during solidification from the bottom upward of the global magma ocean a few hundreds kilometers deep, when most fusible components migrated up to the surface to form there the granitic crust. Geological history of the Earth commenced at the appearance time of granite-greenstone terranes and granulite belts separating them, the first large tectonic structures formed under influence of raising mantle superplumes. 相似文献

Evolution of Archean magmatism is one of the key problems concerning the early formation stages of the Earth crust and biosphere, because that evolution exactly controlled variable concentrations of chemical elements in the World Ocean, which are important for metabolism. Geochemical evolution of magmatism between 3.5 and 2.7 Ga is considered based on database characterizing volcanic and intrusive rock complexes of granite-greenstone terrains (GGT) studied most comprehensively in the Karelian (2.9–2.7 Ga) and Kaapvaal (3.5–2.9 Ga) cratons and in the Pilbara block (3.5–2.9 Ga). Trends of magmatic geochemical evolution in the mentioned GGTs were similar in general. At the early stage of their development, tholeiitic magmas were considerably enriched in chalcophile and siderophile elements Fe2O3, MgO, Cr, Ni, Co, V, Cu, and Zn. At the next stage, calc-alkaline volcanics of greenstone belts and syntectonic TTG granitoids were enriched in lithophile elements Rb, Cs, Ba, Th, U, Pb, Nb, La, Sr, Be and others. Elevated concentrations of both the “crustal” and “mantle-derived” elements represented a distinctive feature of predominantly intrusive rocks of granitoid composition, which were characteristic of the terminal stage of continental crust formation in the GGTs, because older silicic rocks and lithospheric mantle were jointly involved into processes of magma generation. On the other hand, the GGTs different in age reveal specific trends in geochemical evolution of rock associations close in composition and geological position. First, the geochemical cycle of GGT evolution was of a longer duration in the Paleoarchean than in the Meso-and Neoarchean. Second, the Paleoarche an tholeiitic associations had higher concentrations of LREE and HFSE (Zr, Ti, Th, Nb, Ta, Hf) than their Meso-and Neoarchean counterparts. Third, the Y and Yb concentrations in Paleoarchean calc-alkaline rock associations are systematically higher than in Neoarchean rocks of the same type, while their La/Yb ratios are in contrast lower than in the latter. These distinctions are likely caused by evolution of mantle magmatic reservoirs and by changes in formation mechanisms of silicic volcanics and TTG granitoids. The first of these factors was likely responsible for appearance of sanukitoid magmatic rocks in the Late Mesoarchean. Representative database considered in the work includes ca. 500 precision analyses of Archean magmatic rocks. 相似文献

Greenstone basalts and komatiites provide a means to track both mantle composition and magma generation temperature with time.Four types of mantle are characterized from incompatible element distributions in basalts and komatiites:depleted,hydrated,enriched and mantle from which komatiites are derived.Our most important observation is the recognition for the first time of what we refer to as a Great Thermal Divergence within the mantle beginning near the end of the Archean,which we ascribe to thermal and convective evolution.Prior to 2.5 Ga,depleted and enriched mantle have indistinguishable thermal histories,whereas at 2.5-2.0 Ga a divergence in mantle magma generation temperature begins between these two types of mantle.Major and incompatible element distributions and calculated magma generation temperatures suggest that Archean enriched mantle did not come from mantle plumes,but was part of an undifferentiated or well-mixed mantle similar in composition to calculated primitive mantle.During this time,however,high-temperature mantle plumes from dominantly depleted sources gave rise to komatiites and associated basalts.Recycling of oceanic crust into the deep mantle after the Archean may have contributed to enrichment of Ti,Al,Ca and Na in basalts derived from enriched mantle sources.After 2.5 Ga,increases in Mg~# in basalts from depleted mantle and decreases in Fe and Mn reflect some combination of growing depletion and cooling of depleted mantle with time.A delay in cooling of depleted mantle until after the Archean probably reflects a combination of greater radiogenic heat sources in the Archean mantle and the propagation of plate tectonics after 3 Ga. 相似文献

Greenstone belts in the northern Murchison Terrane of the Yilgarn Craton contain an extensive suite of 2.9–3.0 Ga, porphyritic komatiites and komatiitic volcaniclastic rocks. These unusual Ti–rich Al–depleted komatiites have been sampled at Gabanintha and are characterised by higher incompatible‐element abundances than most suites of Barberton‐type Al–depleted komatiites. They form a petrogenetically related group with similar Ti– and incompatible‐element‐rich, Al–depleted porphyritic komatiites and komatiitic volcaniclastic rocks from Karasjok in Norway, Dachine in French Guiana and Steep Rock‐Lumby Lake in Canada (here called Karasjok‐type komatiites). Their Al–depletion results from magma generation at depths of >250 km in the presence of residual majorite‐garnet. The porphyritic textures and abundance of amygdales and volcaniclastic rocks typical of this type of komatiite are features of hydrous ultramafic magmas. The incompatible‐element‐rich ultramafic rocks from Dachine contain diamonds that were most likely picked up as parent magmas interacted with mantle lithosphere that had been hydrated and chemically modified. Consequently the interaction of Karasjok‐type komatiite magmas with thick, island arc or continental mantle lithosphere may have resulted in their elevated water and incompatible‐element contents. The occurrence of Karasjok‐type komatiite lavas and volcaniclastic rocks in the northern Murchison Terrane suggests that during the Late Archaean that terrane had a hydrated, metasomatised or subduction‐modified mantle lithosphere. 相似文献

Western Ghats Belt of western Dharwar Craton is dominated by metavolcanic rocks (komatiites, high-magnesium basalts (HMBs), basalts, boninites) with occasional metagabbros. This rock-suite has undergone post-magmatic alteration processes corresponding to greenschist- to lower-amphibolite facies conditions. Komatiites are Al-depleted, characterized by lower Al2O3/TiO2 and high CaO/Al2O3. Their trace element distribution patterns suggest most of the primary geochemical compositions are preserved with minor influence of post-magmatic alteration processes and negligible crustal contamination. Chemical characteristics of Al-depleted komatiites imply their derivation from deeper upper mantle with/without garnet involvement. HMBs and basalts are differentiated based on their magnesium content. Basalts and occasionally associated gabbroic sills have similar geochemical characteristics. HMB are characterized by light rare earth element (LREE) enrichment, with significant Nb–Ta and Zr negative anomalies. Basalts and associated gabbros display tholeiitic affinity, with LREE-enriched to slightly fractionated heavy rare earth element (HREE) patterns. Boninites are distinctive in conjunction of low abundances of incompatible elements with respect to the studied komatiites. Chondrite-normalized REE patterns of boninites show relative enrichment in LREE and HREE with respect to MREE. Prominent island arc signatures are evident in HMB, basalts, boninites, and gabbros in terms of their Nb–Ta and Zr–Hf negative anomalies, LREE enrichment and HFSE depletion. It is suggested that these HMB–basalts (associated gabbros)–boninites are the products of arc magmatism. Their REE chemistry attests to a gradual transition in melting depth varying between spinel and garnet stability field in an arc regime. The close spatial association but contrasting elemental characteristics of komatiites and HMB–basalts–boninites can be explained by a plume-arc model, in which the ~3.0 Ga komatiites are considered to be the products of plume volcanism in an oceanic setting, while the HMB, basalts, boninites, and associated gabbros were emplaced in a continental margin setting around 2.8–2.7 Ga. 相似文献

Eastern China is a Cenozoic composite volcanic rock province, where volcanic rocks of the tholeiite series, calc-alkali series,
Hy-norm-bearing olivine basalt series, Na-alkali series and K-alkali series coexist. Eastern China is separated into the northern
and southern volcanic rock regions by the Changzhou-Yueyang old deep fault. Magma generation and magmatic activities in the
northern region were controlled by the mantle uplift and old deep faults. These old deep faults were revived and some of them
were changed into a multiple rift system due to back-arc expansion. The Bohai Sea depression is situated at the intersection
of the Lujiang-Tancheng-Shenyang-Mishan and Zhangjiakou-Tianjin uplift belts of the upper mantle. Eogene (71.5-28.5 Ma) tholeiites
largely occur in the central part of the mantle uplift; the well developed Neogene (23.8-2.6 Ma) alkali olivine basalts are
distributed in the outer lane of the former and the Quaternary (1.48 Ma-recent) peralkali volcanic rocks are far away from
them. In the southern region magma generation and magmatic activities were controlled mainly by plate subduction and three
sets of old deep faults.
Studies of incompatible elements and REE show that the degree of enrichment of incompatible elements and LREE increases with
decreasing age, increasing source depth and decreasing degree of partial melting of the upper mantle. This presumably is an
indication of a rapid uplifting and then waning magmatic hearth with gradually decreasing temperature, accompanied with down-cutting
of the lithospheric faults. We call such a process “a reverse process of magma generation”. And the opposite process of the
magmatic evolution of the East African rift in Kenya can be called “a positive process of magma generation”. 相似文献

Spinifex-textured.magnesian(MgO 25 wt.%) komatiites from Mesoarchean Banasandra greenstone belt of the Sargur Group in the Dharwar craton,India were analysed for major and trace elements and~(147,146)Sm-~(143,142)Nd systematics to constrain age,petrogenesis and to understand the evolution of Archean mantle.Major and trace element ratios such as CaO/Al_2O_3.Al_2O_3/TiO_2,Gd/Yb,La/Nb and Nb/Y suggest aluminium undepleted to enriched compositional range for these komatiites.The depth of melting is estimated to be varying from 120 to 240 km and trace-element modelling indicates that the mantle source would have undergone multiple episodes of melting prior to the generation of magmas parental to these komatiites.Ten samples of these komatiites together with the published results of four samples from the same belt yield ~(147)Sm-~(143)Nd isochron age of ca.3.14 Ga with an initial ε_(Nd)(f) value of+3.5.High precision measurements of ~(142)Nd/~(144)Nd ratios were carried out for six komatiite samples along with standards AMES and La Jolla.All results are within uncertainties of the terrestrial samples.The absence of~(142)Nd/~(144)Nd anomaly indicates that the source of these komatiites formed after the extinction of ~(146)Sm,i.e.4.3 Ga ago.In order to evolve to the high ε_(Nd)(t) value of +3.5 by 3.14 Ga the time-integrated ratio of~(147)Sm/~(144)Nd should be 0.2178 at the minimum.This is higher than the ratios estimated,so far,for mantle during that time.These results indicate at least two events of mantle differentiation starting with the chondritic composition of the mantle.The first event occurred very early at ~4.53 Ga to create a global early depleted reservoir with superchondritic Sm/Nd ratio.The source of Isua greenstone rocks with positive ~(142)Nd anomaly was depleted during a second differentiation within the life time of ~(146)Sm,i.e.prior to 4.46 Ga.The source mantle of the Banasandra komatiite was a result of a differentiation event that occurred after the extinction of the ~(146)Sm,i.e.at 4.3 Ga and prior to 3.14 Ga.Banasandra komatiites therefore provide evidence for preservation of heterogeneities generated during mantle differentiation at4.3 Ga. 相似文献

ABSTRACTPalaeoarchaean (3.38–3.35 Ga) komatiites from the Jayachamaraja Pura (J.C. Pura) and Banasandra greenstone belts of the western Dharwar craton, southern India were erupted as submarine lava flows. These high-temperature (1450–1550°C), low-viscosity lavas produced thick, massive, polygonal jointed sheet flows with sporadic flow top breccias. Thick olivine cumulate zones within differentiated komatiites suggest channel/conduit facies. Compound, undifferentiated flow fields developed marginal-lobate thin flows with several spinifex-textured lobes. Individual lobes experienced two distinct vesiculation episodes and grew by inflation. Occasionally komatiite flows form pillows and quench fragmented hyaloclastites. J.C. Pura komatiite lavas represent massive coherent facies with minor channel facies, whilst the Bansandra komatiites correspond to compound flow fields interspersed with pillow facies. The komatiites are metamorphosed to greenschist facies and consist of serpentine-talc ± carbonate, actinolite–tremolite with remnants of primary olivine, chromite, and pyroxene. The majority of the studied samples are komatiites (22.46–42.41 wt.% MgO) whilst a few are komatiitic basalts (12.94–16.18 wt.% MgO) extending into basaltic (7.71 – 10.80 wt.% MgO) composition. The studied komatiites are Al-depleted Barberton type whilst komatiite basalts belong to the Al-undepleted Munro type. Trace element data suggest variable fractionation of garnet, olivine, pyroxene, and chromite. Incompatible element ratios (Nb/Th, Nb/U, Zr/Y Nb/Y) show that the komatiites were derived from heterogeneous sources ranging from depleted to primitive mantle. CaO/Al2O3 and (Gd/Yb)N ratios show that the Al-depleted komatiite magmas were generated at great depth (350–400 km) by 40–50% partial melting of deep mantle with or without garnet (majorite?) in residue whilst komatiite basalts and basalts were generated at shallow depth in an ascending plume. The widespread Palaeoarchaean deep depleted mantle-derived komatiite volcanism and sub-contemporaneous TTG accretion implies a major earlier episode of mantle differentiation and crustal growth during ca. 3.6–3.8 Ga. 相似文献
