Scheelite and rutile from several metaturbidite-hosted gold-bearing quartz vein deposits of the Meguma Terrane of Nova Scotia were analyzed for trace elements including rare earth elements, niobium and tantalum. Scheelites have high concentrations of Sr, Nb, Y and rare earth elements (REE) with bell-shaped chondrite-normalized REE patterns accompanied by both positive and negative Eu anomalies. They also have high Nb/Ta ratios (80–300). Three distinct trace element types of the scheelites are interpreted to reflect chemical differences in the pulses of hydrothermal fluids. Hydrothermal rutiles have high contents of W (up to 4.2 wt.% WO₃), are rich in Ta compared to Nb and have a very low Nb/Ta ratio (~0.3). Hydrothermal fluids which produced both scheelite with a high Nb/Ta and rutile with a low Nb/Ta ratio are an efficient medium for fractionation of this ratio although these two minerals play an important role during the process.  相似文献

Cretaceous alkaline lamprophyres from northeastern Czech Republic: geochemistry and petrogenesis     

J. Dostal  J. V. Owen 《International Journal of Earth Sciences》1998,87(1):67-77

The northeast part of the Czech Republic (Moravia) and the adjoining part of Poland host a 100-km-long and 15- to 25-km-wide belt containing numerous isolated bodies (mainly sills) of lamprophyre of Lower Cretaceous age. The lamprophyres range from mafic (melanocratic) to evolved, feldspar-rich (mesocratic) variants. Mineralogically, they are characterized by compositionally zoned kaersutite phenocrysts, biotite and high Al–Ti salitic to diopsidic clinopyroxene. The lamprophyres are typically alkaline as shown by high contents of P₂O₅, TiO₂, alkalies and incompatible trace elements such as light REE, Zr, Nb, Y, Ba and Sr, and by high Ti/V (>50) and chondrite-normalized (La/Yb)_n (8–25) ratios. They resemble alkali basalts, basanites and nephelinites. Major element composition and trace element patterns and Nd–Sr isotopic values (εNd ca. +5.5 to +6.6 and εSr ca. –9.5 to –24.0) indicate that the lamprophyric magma was derived from a mantle source that was compositionally similar to the source of ocean island basalts with HIMU affinities and some continental extension-related alkali basaltic suites. The lamprophyres do not show any subduction imprint. They were generated in the garnet stability field by a variable degree of melting. Evolved lamprophyres were formed by clinopyroxene-dominated fractional crystallization of mafic lamprophyric magma. The lamprophyres are interpreted to have been emplaced along conduits formed during the formation of a basin/graben structure in the Early Cretaceous.  相似文献   

Geochemistry and origin of basaltic lavas from Marquesas Archipelago,French Polynesia     

J. M. Liotard  H. G. Barsczus  C. Dupuy  J. Dostal 《Contributions to Mineralogy and Petrology》1986,92(2):260-268

The Marquesas Archipelago, a volcanic chain in French Polynesia (south-central Pacific Ocean), is predominantly composed of alkalic, transitional and tholeiitic basalts. The variation trends in these intraplate basaltic rocks imply that the magmas were derived from different upper mantle sources. Model calculations using the total inverse method show that the peridotite source of most Marquesas basalts was enriched in incompatible elements compared to a primordial mantle and had higher than chondritic ratios of several elements such as La/Yb, Ti/V and P/Ce. A metasomatic enrichment event is suggested by the sequence of element enrichment in the source relative to the primordial mantle (Ba>Nb>La>Ce>Sr>Sm>Eu> Zr>Hf>Ti>Y>Yb). On the other hand, some lavas including tholeiites of Ua Pou and alkalic basalts of Hiva Oa, were probably derived from relatively depleted upper mantle. In some islands such as Hatutu, the different types of basalts were generated from sources with rather similar compositions. The residual phases of the Marquesas magmas included garnet. The sources of these magmas were similar in trace element chemistry to the oceanic mantle below Hawaii.  相似文献   

Geochemistry and origin of basaltic lavas from Society Islands,French Polynesia (south central Pacific Ocean)     

J. Dostal  C. Dupuy  J. M. Liotard 《Bulletin of Volcanology》1982,45(1):51-62

The Society Islands of French Polynesia (south-central Pacific Ocean) are formed predominatly by basaltic lavas of alkaline affinities. These intraplate rocks are either Ne- or Hy-normative. Ne-normative basaltic lavas are lower in Si and heavy rare earth elements and higher in Ti, V and Sr than Hy-normative. The differences are attributed to the contrasting behaviour of amphibole during melting of the upper mantle, which, in turn, may be related to the variation in the depth of melting. Compared to pyrolite, the upper mantle source of the lavas was enriched in incompatible elements.  相似文献   

Geochemistry of early mesozoic tholeiites from Morocco     

H. Bertrand  J. Dostal  C. Dupuy 《Earth and Planetary Science Letters》1982,58(2):225-239

Mesozoic dolerites from two areas of Morocco, the High Atlas fold belt between Marrakech and Demnat and the Anti-Atlas belt in the area of Foum Zquid, are most high-Ti quartz-normative tholeiites whichi in many respects resemble Mesozoic dolerite dikes from eastern North America. The dolerites display a wide range of major and trace element compositions, some of which are due to fractional crystallization. The doleritic sequences from High Atlas also show vertical stratigraphic zonation which is characterized by a progressive depletion of lithophile elements toward the top. This trend together with regularities of trace element ratio variations are indicative of a dynamic melting of an initially homogeneous source. It is suggested that the continental upper mantle source for dolerites of Morocco was enriched in several incompatible elements in comparison with the upper mantle source for ocean floor tholeiites.  相似文献   

Geochemistry and petrogenesis of rift-related volcanic rocks from South Kivu (Zaire)     

A. Auchapt  C. Dupuy  J. Dostal  M. Kanika 《Journal of Volcanology and Geothermal Research》1987,31(1-2)

Two volcanic zones (Bukavu and Kamituga) south of Lake Kivu (southeastern Zaire) are part of the western branch of the Eastern African rift. They were formed during three volcanic cycles, one pre-rift (70-7 Ma old) and the other two syn-rift (7.8-1.9 Ma old and 14,000 y.-sub-Recent, respectively), and evolved from quartz tholeiites of the pre-rift period to alkali basalts of the rift stage. The basaltic rocks, which strongly predominate, are compositionally similar to other rift-related basalts and also to oceanic-island rocks. Most of the basalts have undergone only limited fractional crystallization (5–10%) dominated by olivine and clinopyroxene. The distinct variations of incompatible elements even in rocks of very similar major-element composition imply that the basaltic rocks were derived from a heterogeneous source by variable degrees of melting. The inferred source composition closely resembles that of metasomatized peridotite xenoliths from alkali basalts.  相似文献   

Trace element geochemistry of some continental tholeiites   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

C. Dupuy  J. Dostal 《Earth and Planetary Science Letters》1984,67(1):61-69

Continental tholeiites from four regions (Late Cretaceous to Early Eocene Deccan Trap lavas of central India, Early Mesozoic tholeiites from the Atlantic margins of Northwest Africa-Morocco, and northeastern North America-Nova Scotia, Canada and Precambrian Coppermine River basalts from Northwest Territories, Canada) differ from MORB by higher concentrations of K, Rb, Ba and Th and to a lesser degree light REE. Their chondrite-normalized trace element patterns show negative Nb anomalies. The distribution and variation of trace elements indicate that the rocks from all the areas studied were affected by interaction with the continental crust. It is suggested that continental tholeiites have been generated from a similar source as oceanic tholeiites and many of their geochemical differences are related to crustal contamination.  相似文献   

Geochemistry of Late Proterozoic volcanic rocks from Tassendjanet area (N.W. Hoggar,Algeria)     

M. Chikhaoui  C. Dupuy  J. Dostal 《Contributions to Mineralogy and Petrology》1978,66(2):157-164

The Late Proterozoic calc-alkaline andesitic rocks of the Tassendjanet volcanic complex, north-western Hoggar, Algeria resemble the continental margin rocks and also are closely comparable to the Archaean andesites. Most Tassendjanet rocks were affected to various extents by low grade hydrous metamorphism which led to an increase of Na, P, Fe, Ti, and V and a decrease of Mg, Ca, Sr, Cr, and Ni. Although K, Rb, Ba, and Li are enriched in the majority of altered rocks, these elements are strongly depleted in the albitized Na-rich volcanics. REE are enriched in albitized andesites but their fractionation patterns remain unchanged. The trace element data are consistent with the derivation of the Tassendjanet andesites by partial melting of an upper mantle source enriched in LILE and presumably overlying the subduction zone.  相似文献   

Partition coefficients of uranium for some rock-forming minerals     

J. Dostal  S. Capedri 《Chemical Geology》1975,15(4):285-294

Partition coefficients of uranium between phenocrysts and their host groundmass have been determined by fission-track mapping. The minerals analyzed include plagioclase, K-feldspar, biotite, olivine, clinopyroxene and orthopyroxene. The data for all these minerals show that U is strongly partitioned into the liquid and only a small fraction of the total whole-rock U content is present in the major rock-forming minerals. In volcanic rocks, the bulk of U is usually contained in glass although in acid volcanic rocks a significant portion may also be present in the U-rich accessory minerals.  相似文献
