The Xigaze ophiolite in the central part of the Yarlung–Zangbo suture zone, southern Tibet, has a well-preserved sequence of sheeted dykes, basalts, cumulates and mantle peridotites at Jiding and Luqu. Both the basalts and diabases at Jiding have similar compositions with SiO₂ ranging from 45.9 to 53.5 wt%, MgO from 3.1 to 6.8 wt% and TiO₂ from 0.87 to 1.21 wt%. Their Mg^#s [100Mg/(Mg + Fe)] range from 40 to 60, indicating crystallization from relatively evolved magmas. They have LREE-depleted, chondrite-normalized REE diagrams, suggesting a depleted mantle source. These basaltic rocks have slightly negative Nb- and Ti-anomalies, suggesting that the Xigaze ophiolite represents a fragment of mature MORB lithosphere modified in a suprasubduction zone environment. The mantle peridotites at Luqu are high depleted with low CaO (0.3–1.2 wt%) and Al₂O₃ (0.04–0.42 wt%). They display V-shaped, chondrite-normalized REE patterns with (La/Gd)_N ratios ranging from 3.17 to 64.6 and (Gd/Yb)_N from 0.02 to 0.20, features reflecting secondary metasomatism by melts derived from the underlying subducted slab. Thus, the geochemistry of both the basaltic rocks and mantle peridotites suggests that the Xigaze ophiolite formed in a suprasubduction zone.Both the diabases and basalts have Pd/Ir ratios ranging from 7 to 77, similar to MORB. However, they have very low PGE abundances, closely approximating the predicted concentration in a silicate melt that has fully equilibrated with a fractionated immiscible sulfide melt, indicating that the rocks originated from magmas that were S-saturated before eruption. Moderate degrees of partial melting and early precipitation of PGE alloys explain their high Pd/Ir ratios and negative Pt-anomalies. The mantle peridotites contain variable amounts of Pd (5.99–13.5 ppb) and Pt (7.92–20.5 ppb), and have a relatively narrow range of Ir (3.47–5.01 ppb). In the mantle-normalized Ni, PGE, Au and Cu diagram, they are relatively rich in Pd and depleted in Cu. There is a positive correlation between CaO and Pd. The Pd enrichment is possibly due to secondary enrichment by metasomatism. Al₂O₃ and Hf do not correlate with Ir, but show positive variations with Pt, Pd and Au, indicating that some noble metals can be enriched by metasomatic fluids or melts carrying a little Al and Hf. We propose a model in which the low PGE contents and high Pd/Ir ratios of the basaltic rocks reflect precipitation of sulfides and moderate degrees of partial melting. The high Pd mantle peridotites of Xigaze ophiolites were formed by secondary metasomatism by a boninitic melt above a subduction zone.  相似文献   

Petrology of marble and peridotite in the Seiad ultramafic complex, northern California, USA   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

J. E. LIEBERMAN  J. M. RICE 《Journal of Metamorphic Geology》1986,4(2):179-199

Abstract Peridotite and infolded marble of the Seiad ultramafic complex were recrystallized in the upper amphibolite facies as part of the regional progressive metamorphism of the Rattlesnake Creek terrane. Field relations, including the occurrence of metarodingites, and metasomatic zones between dissimilar rock types, demonstrate that the metasediments and serpentinized ultramafic rocks were juxtaposed prior to regional, barrovian metamorphism. Temperatures are estimated to have reached 760–800°C at pressures of 7–8 kbar during the peak of metamorphism. Four low-variance parageneses have been identified within a small (3 km²) area of the complex, which may reasonably be assumed to have formed under the same P and T conditions. Isobaric T-X co₂ diagrams of appropriate equilibria are presented for three different internally consistent sets of thermodynamic data. Despite the seemingly small numerical differences between the standard state thermodynamic properties of the data sets, only one diagram allows the four observed assemblages to coexist within a reasonable temperature range. All three phase diagrams require differences in fluid composition on the scale of a thin section; strong evidence for effective control of pore fluid composition by local mineral reactions during metamorphism.  相似文献

辽宁营口后仙峪硼矿区的超镁橄榄岩是该区硼镁石型硼矿的主要赋存岩石,其地质地球化学特征是①超镁橄榄岩呈带状、透镜体状分布,它整合于古元古代的火山-沉积岩系中的含硼岩系富镁硼酸盐岩组中.岩石几乎由镁橄榄石组成,具有变余的火山沉积的组构.②主量元素说明岩石化学成分具富镁、富铁的特点.③非活动性微量元素较高,如Zr、Hf、Ta等,与一般超基性岩相似;Cr、Ni含量低,显示岩浆为非原始岩浆;Nb*大于1以及(La/Yb)N-(Yb)N图解均说明岩石的幔源性.④稀土元素总量为7.41×10-6～46.82×10-6,与上地幔相当,轻、重稀土分馏不太明显,负Eu异常明显,具有与纯橄榄岩一致的"V"型稀土元素分布模式.⑤ε Nd为-7.51961～9.0654,亦反映出壳幔混染的特点.由地质地球化学特征可以推测岩石为经过地壳混染的地幔橄榄岩较大程度部分熔融后而残留的富镁岩石.  相似文献   

内蒙古索伦山菱镁矿成矿地质条件与找矿潜力分析     

薛建平 《地质与勘探》2017,53(3):464-471

产于内蒙古索伦山缝合带蛇绿岩中的菱镁矿,其深入研究对于菱镁矿的勘查、增加战略矿产资源以及国民经济的发展有重大意义。本文对内蒙古索伦山地区菱镁矿进行了系统的调查和研究,通过归纳索伦山地区菱镁矿矿床地质特征,探讨了索伦山地区菱镁矿矿床的成矿地质条件,在此基础上,分析和评价了索伦山地区菱镁矿的找矿潜力。索伦山地区菱镁矿产于索伦山蛇绿岩的地幔橄榄岩内,受岩体内部微小构造控制,矿体贫富受风化程度的制约,受超基性岩风化淋滤形成。菱镁矿与超基性岩硅质风化壳在成因上具有耦合关系,上部为风化淋滤残留物—超基性岩硅质风化壳,下部为风化淋滤的产物—菱镁矿。索伦山地区含菱镁矿的地幔橄榄岩岩体巨大,深部矿体众多,与国内西藏巴夏式菱镁矿在成矿条件和成矿模式方面相一致。所以,索伦山地区具有较大的菱镁矿找矿潜力。  相似文献
