Phase relationships in Buchan facies series pelitic assemblages: calculations with application to andalusite-staurolite parageneses in the Mount Lofty Ranges,South Australia     

Peter Dymoke  Michael Sandiford 《Contributions to Mineralogy and Petrology》1992,110(1):121-132

Low-pressure, medium- to high-temperature (Buchan-type) regional metamorphism of pelitic rocks in the Mount Lofty Ranges, South Australia, is defined by the development of biotite, staurolite-andalusite, fibrolite, prismatic sillimanite and migmatite zones. K-feldspar makes its first appearance in the prismatic sillimanite zone and here we restrict our discussion to lower grade assemblages containing prograde muscovite, concentrating particularly on well-developed andalusitestaurolite parageneses. In general, the spatial distribution and mineral chemical variation of these assemblages accord with the predictions of petrogenetic grids and P-T and T-X _Fe pseudo-sections constructed from the internally consistent data set of Holland and Powell (1990) in the system KFMASH, assuming a(H₂O) 1, although analysed white mica compositions are systematically more aluminous than predicted. Importantly, the stability ranges of most critical assemblages predicted by these grids and pseudo-sections coincide closely with P-T estimates calculated using the data set of Holland and Powell (1990) from the Mount Lofty Ranges assemblages. With the exception of Mn in garnet and Zn in one staurolite-cordierite-muscovite assemblage non-KFMASH components do not significantly appear to have affected the stability ranges of the observed assemblages. An apparent local reversal in isograd zonation in which andalusite first appears down-grade of staurolite suggests a metamorphic field gradient concave towards the temperature axis and, together with evidence for essentially isobaric heating of individual rocks, is consistent with the exposures representing an oblique profile through a terrain in which heat was dissipated from intrusive bodies at discrete structural levels.Mineral abbreviations used in figures als Al₂SiO₅ phase - bi biotite - chl chlorite - ky kyanite - ph phengite - sill sillimanite - and andalusite - cd cordieritc - gt garnet - mu muscovite - q quartz - st staurolite  相似文献   

Nd-, Sr-, O-isotopic and chemical evidence for a two-stage contamination history of mantle magma in the Central-Alpine Bergell intrusion     

Friedhelm von Blanckenburg  Gretchen Früh-Green  Karlheinz Diethelm  Peter Stille 《Contributions to Mineralogy and Petrology》1992,110(1):33-45

Two different contamination processes have been identified as having been operative in the genesis of a plutonic suite: initial contamination of a mantle source, and subsequent crustal contamination of uprising partial melts from the mantle. These processes are indicated by a detailed analyses of Nd, Sr, and oxygen isotopes together with major-and trace-elements of the 32–30 Ma calc-alkaline Bergell intrusion. This intrusion is located at the suture of the Alpine continental collision zone and contains rock types capable of discriminating between mantle and intracrustal processes. A range from basaltic-andesitic dykes in the surrounding country rocks, cumulitic hornblendites, gabbros, tonalite, granodiorite and lamprophyres, to pegmatites and aplites, is exposed in this single intrusion. The results of REE modelling and isotopic compositions of the basic members suggest that the cumulates were fractionated from a picrobasaltic liquid originating by partial melting of enriched subcontinental mantle (_Nd=+4). Increases in ⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr (0.7055) and ¹⁸O(+6.7) in these samples relative to the mantle array and compositions of other Periadriatic intrusions are most likely the result of an initial contamination of the mantle source by dehydration or partial melting of altered subducted oceanic crust. Slight differentiation of such a picrobasaltic liquid produced the basaltic-andesitic dykes. Simultaneous fractional crystallization and contamination of the uprising magma by continental crust produced crustal isotopic signatures which increase with acidity to values of (_Nd=-7.6), ⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr=0.716 and ¹⁸O=+10. The crustal imprint and LREE enrichment in the dominating tonalite increase with decreasing crystallization depth which indicates that the tonalites were emplaced in several distinct batches with different degrees of contamination. Shoshonitic lamprophyres, which intruded into the partly solidified granodiorite, were generated in a deep, strongly contaminated mantle source. The posttectonic 26 Ma Novate leucogranite is not cogenetic with the main Bergell body, but rather formed from a predominantly crustal source. If the described features are indeed due to mantle source contamination processes, which are well known for volcanic arcs, it must be concluded that these may also play a significant role in the genesis of calcalkaline plutonic suites.  相似文献   

H,O, Sr,Nd, and Pb isotope geochemistry of the Latir volcanic field and cogenetic intrusions,New Mexico,and relations between evolution of a continental magmatic center and modifications of the lithosphere   总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2

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

Production of organic molecules in the outer solar system by proton irradiation: Laboratory simulations     

Thomas Scattergood  Peter Lesser  Tobias Owen 《Icarus》1975,24(4):465-471

In the past few years considerable attention has been given to the determination of likely compounds that could account for the various colors observed in the outer solar system: and to possible formation mechanisms for these compounds. Many experiments have been done using electrical discharges (Chadha, M. S., et al., 1971, Icarus15, 39) and ultraviolet light (Khare, B. N., and Sagan, C., 1973, Icarus20, 311) on mixtures of CH₄, NH₃, and H₂S, which are most likely the dominant minor constituents of the atmospheres of Jupiter, Saturn, Titan, and possibly the other satellites early in their histories. Colored polymers, usually brownish-red, have been produced in these experiments. With the passage of Pioneer 10 around Jupiter, there is another source of energy worthy of consideration, energetic protons (and electrons). Preliminary experiments to investigate the formation of colored polymers and other interesting molecules by the irradiation of gas mixtures by protons are discussed. Two to four Mev protons were used, with corresponding beam fluxes (as measured at 6R_J from the planet) equivalent to approximately 80 Earth years at Jupiter per hour of exposure. As in the other types of experiments, colored polymers have been produced. An important feature of this work is the presence or absence of absorption at 5 μm in the different materials produced; Titan is quite dark at this wavelength and Io is fairly bright. Such features may provide criteria for accepting or rejecting various materials produced in these experiments as reasonable coloring agents for the outer solar system.  相似文献   

Point-connected rigid bodies in a topological tree     

Peter W. Likins 《Celestial Mechanics and Dynamical Astronomy》1975,11(3):301-317

Identical equations of motion are shown to emerge for a system ofn+1 rigid bodies all interconnected byn points, each of which is common to two bodies, by means of each of the following derivation procedures, all of which employ a kinematical identity developed by Hooker and Margulies: The Hooker-Margulies/Hooker equations; Kane's quasicoordinate formulation of D'Alembert's principle; the combination of Lagrange's generalized coordinate equations and Lagrange's quasicoordinate equations; and the combination of Lagrange's generalized coordinate equations and the vector rotational equationM=H applied to the total system and resolved into a vector basis fixed in a reference body of the system. Thus the previously published Hooker-Margulies/Hooker equations are shown to be the natural result of several derivation procedures other than the Newton-Euler method originally used, provided that the central kinematical identity of the original derivation of Hooker and Margulies is employed.  相似文献   

Incorporating solid solutions in reactive transport equations using a kinetic discrete-composition approach     

Peter C. Lichtner  J. William Carey 《Geochimica et cosmochimica acta》2006,70(6):1356-1378

A new approach is proposed for incorporating solid solution reactions into mass conservation equations describing reaction paths in both closed and open systems. The method is applicable to problems involving advective, dispersive, and diffusive transport in a porous medium. By representing the continuously variable solid solution composition with a discrete set of stoichiometric solids that span composition space, combined with a kinetic formulation of their rates of reaction, a self-determining spatial and temporal evolution of the solid solution concentration and composition is obtained. It is demonstrated that equilibrium of an aqueous solution with a stoichiometric solid derived from a solid solution corresponds to equilibrium of the solid solution itself if and only if equilibrium of the stoichiometric solid is stable. One advantage of this approach is that it is unnecessary to introduce any additional compositional variables to represent the solid solution. Discretization may be over the entire range of composition space, or over some subset depending on the system. A major consequence of the kinetic discrete-composition solid solution representation is that modeling solid solutions is similar to modeling pure mineral phases with the exception of a weighting factor applied to reaction rates of stoichiometric solids corresponding to a common solid solution. With this approach, precipitation leads to a discrete zonation of the solid solution that approximates the continuous variation in composition expected for the actual solid solution. The approach is demonstrated for a hypothetical ideal and non-ideal binary solid solution A_xB_1−xC for a reaction path formulation and reactive transport involving advection and diffusion.  相似文献   

Semi-analytical solutions of a contaminant transport equation with nonlinear sorption in 1D     

Peter Frolkovič  Jozef Kačur 《Computational Geosciences》2006,10(3):279-290

A new method to determine semi-analytical solutions of one-dimensional contaminant transport problem with nonlinear sorption is described. This method is based on operator splitting approach where the convective transport is solved exactly and the diffusive transport by finite volume method. The exact solutions for all sorption isotherms of Freundlich and Langmuir type are presented for the case of piecewise constant initial profile and zero diffusion. Very precise numerical results for transport with small diffusion can be obtained even for larger time steps (e.g., when the Courant-Friedrichs-Lewy (CFL) condition failed).  相似文献
