Over 200 H, O, Sr, Nd, and Pb isotope analyses, in addition to geologic and petrologic constraints, document the magmatic evolution of the 28.5–19 Ma Latir volcanic field and associated intrusive rocks, which includes multiple stages of crustal assimilation, magma mixing, protracted crystallization, and open- and closed-system evolution in the upper crust. In contrast to data from younger volcanic centers in northern New Mexico, relatively low and restricted primary ¹⁸O values (+6.4 to +7.4) rule out assimilation of supracrustal rocks enriched in ¹⁸O. Initial ⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr ratios (0.705 to 0.708), ¹⁸O values (-2 to-7), and ²⁰⁶Pb/²⁰⁴Pb ratios (17.5 to 18.4) of metaluminous precaldera volcanic rocks and postcaldera plutonic rocks suggest that most Latir rocks were generated by fractional crystallization of substantial volumes of mantle-derived basaltic magma that had near-chondritic Nd isotope ratios, accompanied by assimilation of crustal material in two main stages: 1) assimilation of non-radiogenic lower crust, followed by 2) assimilation of middle and upper crust by inter-mediate-composition magmas that had been contaminated during the first stage. Magmatic evolution in the upper crust peaked with eruption of the peralkaline Amalia Tuff (26 Ma), which evolved from metaluminous parental magmas. A third stage of late, roofward assimilation of Proterozoic rocks in the Amalia Tuff magma is indicated by trends in initial ⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr and ²⁰⁶Pb/²⁰⁴Pb ratios from 0.7057 to 0.7098 and 19.5 to 18.8, respectively, toward the top of the pre-eruptive magma chamber. Highly evolved postcaldera plutons are generally fine grained and are zoned in initial ⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr and ²⁰⁶Pb/²⁰⁴Pb ratios, varying from 0.705 to 0.709 and 17.8 to 18.6, respectively. In contrast, the coarser-grained Cabresto Lake (25 Ma) and Rio Hondo (21 Ma) plutons have relatively homogeneous initial ⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr and ²⁰⁶Pb/²⁰⁴Pb ratios of approximately 0.7053 and 17.94 and 17.55, respectively. ¹⁸O values for all the postcaldera plutons overlap those of the precaldera rocks and Amalia Tuff, except for those for two late-stage rhyolite dikes associated with the Rio Hondo pluton that have ¹⁸O values of-8.6 and-9.5; these dikes are the only Latir rocks which may be largely crustal melts.Chemical and isotopic data from the Latir field suggest that large fluxes of mantle-derived basaltic magma are necessary for developing and sustaining large-volume volcanic centers. Development of a detailed model suggests that 6–15 km of new crust may have been added beneath the volcanic center; such an addition may result in significant changes in the chemical and Sr and Nd isotopic compositions of the crust, although Pb isotope ratios will remain relatively unchanged. If accompanied by assimilation, crystallization of pooled basaltic magma near the MOHO may produce substantial cumulates beneath the MOHO that generate large changes in the isotopic composition of the upper mantle. The Latir field may be similar to other large-volume, long-lived intracratonal volcanic fields that fundamentally owe their origins to extensive injection of basaltic magma into the lower parts of their magmatic systems. Such fields may overlie areas of significant crustal growth and hybridization.  相似文献   

Hydrothermal alteration of Variscan granites,southern Schwarzwald,Federal Republic of Germany     

K. Simon 《Contributions to Mineralogy and Petrology》1990,105(2):177-196

Hercynian S-type granites from the southeastern Schwarzwald granite series represent cogenetic biotite-and two-mica granites. Oxygen- and hydrogen-isotope data show that hydrothermal alteration invoking isotopically light surface waters resulted in a drastic reduction in ¹⁸O and D and pronounced disequilibrium between the minerals. Effective water-rock ratios are calculated to be high, about 0.8 vol units. A shift in the¹⁸O/¹⁶O and the chemical composition of the fluid due to water-rock interaction is continuously traced from pure H₂O with meteoric isotopic character in the deep-seated biotite granites to slightly saline water with rock-equilibrated isotopic composition in the two-mica granites at a shallower level. Substantial retrograde hydrometamorphism in the temperature range 500° to 200° C resulted mineralogically in high-temperature chloritization of biotite, and low-temperature muscovitization as well as feldspar alteration, respectively. Another result of the re-equilibration of cations is strong disturbance of the Rb–Sr system which affects measured ages and initial⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr values. Hydrothermal differentiation and alteration probably overlap to a very large extent magmatic differentiation processes.  相似文献   

The spectra and light curves of two gamma-ray bursts     

F. K. Knight  J. L. Matteson  L. E. Peterson 《Astrophysics and Space Science》1981,75(1):21-30

During the last half of 1977 the UCSD/MIT Hard X-Ray and Low Energy Gamma-Ray Experiment of HEAO-1 observed two of the three gamma-ray bursts detected by at least three satellites. The first of these bursts (20 October, 1977) had a fluence of (3.1±0.5)×10^–5 erg cm^–2 integrated over the energy range 0.135–2.05 MeV and over its duration of 38.7 s, placing it among the largest bursts observed. The second (10 November, 1977) had a fluence of (2.1±0.8)×10^–5 erg cm^–2 integrated over the energy range 0.125–3 MeV and over its duration of 2.8 s. The light curves of both bursts exhibit time fluctuations down to the limiting time resolution of the detectors (0.1 s). The spectrum of the 20 October, 1977 burst can be fitted with a power law (index –1.93±0.16), which is harder than other reported gamma-ray burst spectral fits. This burst was detected up to 2.05 MeV, and approximately half of its energy was emitted at photon energies above 0.5 MeV. The spectrum of the 10 November, 1977 burst is softer (index –2.4±0.7) and is similar to the spectrum of the 27 April, 1972 burst.Paper presented at the Symposium on Cosmic Gamma-Ray Bursts held at Toulouse, France, 26–29 November, 1979.  相似文献   

Near-infrared spectrophotometry of the satellites and rings of Uranus     

B.T. Soifer  G. Neugebauer  K. Matthews 《Icarus》1981,45(3):612-617

New spectrophotometry from 1.5 to 2.5 μm is reported for the Uranian satellites Titania, Oberon, and Umbriel. A spectrum of the rings of Uranus from 2.0 to 2.4 μm is also reported. No evidence is found for frost covering the surface of the ring material, consistent with the low albedo of the rings (P_K = 0.03) previously reported by Nicholson and Jones (1980). The surfaces of the satellites are found to be covered by dirty water frost. Assuming albedos of the frost and gray components covering the Uranian satellites to be the same as the light and dark faces of Iapetus, radii are derived that are roughly twice those inferred from the assumption of a visual albedo of 0.5.  相似文献

A new model for X-ray emission from NGC 4151     

R. K. Manchanda  E. Costa  B. M. Belli  P. Ubertini 《Astrophysics and Space Science》1978,53(1):231-239

We present an analysis of the reported spectral features of NGC 4151 in X-rays. It is shown that the origin of X-rays from the source is inconsistent with a single production mechanism. We suggest a new two-component model in which soft X-rays arise from the black-body emission of a tiny hot nucleus withT2×10⁷ K and the hard X-ray photons are generated in an extended region by inverse Compton scattering of electrons with the infrared photons.  相似文献

²¹⁰Pb balance in Long Island Sound     

Larry K. Benninger 《Geochimica et cosmochimica acta》1978,42(8):1165-1174

A material balance is constructed for excess ²¹⁰Pb (relative to ²²⁶Ra) as a test of the retentivity of Long Island Sound for a reactive heavy metal. Excess ²¹⁰Pb is supplied to Long Island Sound chiefly by direct atmospheric deposition [1 ± 0.2(dis·min^?1)cm^?2·yr^?1]. Rivers supply less than 20% of the atmospheric flux, and other inputs, from open ocean waters, ²²⁶Ra decay, groundwater seepage, and sewage discharge, appear to be negligible. The total input of excess ²¹⁰Pb represents approximately the flux required to maintain the inventory of excess ²¹⁰Pb measured in sediment cores from central Long Island Sound; that is, excess ²¹⁰Pb is lost from Long Island Sound chiefly by radioactive decay. The retention of excess ²¹⁰Pb within Long Island Sound is achieved in two steps: a rapid removal of soluble ²¹⁰Pb onto suspended particles and the ongoing entrapment of particles in the basin by the residual bottom-water influx from the east.  相似文献   

Ferroan calcite replacement indicates former magnesian calcite skeletons     

DETLEV K. RICHTER  HANS FÜCHTBAUER 《Sedimentology》1978,25(6):843-860

The replacement by ferroan calcite with preservation of the original structures can be used as a new criterion for identifying skeletons originally composed of high-magnesian calcite. This applies to bryozoa, rugose corals, echinoderms, many foraminifera, most ostracods, red algae, and serpulids. On the other hand, skeletons originally composed of low-magnesian calcite were never replaced by ferroan calcite, as shown by belemnites, brachiopods, and most of the pelecypods. Using this criterion, an original low-magnesian calcite composition is inferred for Tentaculites and some ostracods and foraminifera, whereas a previous high-magnesian calcite composition is inferred for trilobites, oligostegina and certain ooids. Chemical instability of high-magnesian calcite is suggested to be the driving force of the replacement by ferroan calcite. In most of the thirty-seven samples investigated, of Oligocene to Devonian age, the ferrous iron concentration of the interstitial fluid increased during diagenesis, as shown by well established sequences of cement A and B and fissure fill. This offers a relative time scale for diagenetic processes. Ferroan calcites contain up to 6 mol % FeCO₃ and up to 5 mol % MgCO₃. In this range of concentration, the distribution coefficients for Fe and Mg between calcite and solution at about 25°C are about 1 to 0-03, respectively, according to experiments. Possible sources of iron are iron oxides and hydroxides as well as clay minerals including glauconite. Though a submarine origin below the sediment surface is conceivable for ferroan calcite, there are serious limiting conditions such as low Eh and, at the same time, lack in sulphate-reducing bacteria. On the other hand, ferroan ‘dedolomite’, compositional zonality in individual ferroan calcite overgrowths, low δ¹⁸C and δ¹⁸O values, and low Mg concentrations point more to a meteoric-phreatic origin of many ferroan calcite occurrences.  相似文献   

Fair weather and storm sand transport on the Long Island, New York, inner shelf     

J. W. LAVELLE  D. J. P. SWIFT  P. E. GADD  W. L. STUBBLEFIELD  F. N. CASE†  H. R. BRASHEAR†  K. W. HAFF† 《Sedimentology》1978,25(6):823-842

Both spring-summer and fall-winter sand transport have been observed on the Long Island, New York, inner shelf at water depths of 20-22 m using a radio-isotope sand tracer system. The extent of dispersal of the tagged, fine sand was measured at 3 week intervals in two 70 day experiments. In the late spring and early summer, movement was primarily diffusive in nature, extending 100 m around the line of tracer injection, while late fall-winter patterns had strong advective features, including an ellipsoidal outline extending approximately 1500 m westward of the injection points after the passage of several storms with strong northeasterly winds. Near-bottom current observations made with Savonius rotor sensors identify the event responsible for the bulk of the transport over the 135 day observation period as a storm flow of 2 days duration. Tracer and current observations together suggest that westward winter storm flow along the Long Island shelf is the major mechanism of sand transport at these depths on a yearly time scale. A least-squares fit of several of the observed winter patterns with a plume model yields average sediment mass flux lower bounds of 3.2 × 10^?3 gm/cm/sec and 1.7 × 10^?1 gm/cm/sec for ‘typical’ and extreme winter storm activity.  相似文献
