A study of rare earth element (REE)–SiO2 variations in felsic liquids generated by basalt fractionation and amphibolite melting: a potential test for discriminating between the two different processes     

James G. Brophy 《Contributions to Mineralogy and Petrology》2008,156(3):337-357

The origin of felsic magmas (>63% SiO₂) in intra-oceanic arc settings is still a matter of debate. Two very different processes are currently invoked to explain their origin. These include fractional crystallization of basaltic magma and partial melting of lower crustal amphibolite. Because both fractionation and melting can lead to similar major element, trace element and isotopic characteristics in felsic magmas, such lines of evidence have been generally unsuccessful in discriminating between the two processes. A commonly under-appreciated aspect of rare earth element (REE) solid–liquid partitioning behavior is that D _REE for most common igneous minerals (especially hornblende) increase significantly with increasing liquid SiO₂ contents. For some minerals (e.g., hornblende and augite), REE partitioning can change from incomptatible (D < 1) at low liquid SiO₂ to compatible (D > 1) at high liquid SiO₂. When this behavior is incorporated into carefully constrained mass-balance models for mafic (basaltic) amphibolite melting, intermediate (andesitic) amphibolite melting, lower or mid to upper crustal hornblende-present basalt fractionation, and mid to upper crustal hornblende-absent basalt fractionation the following general predictions emerge for felsic magmas (e.g., ∼63 to 76% SiO₂). Partial melting of either mafic or intermediate amphibolite should, regardless of the type of melting (equilibrium, fractional, accumulated fractional) yield REE abundances that remain essentially constant and then decrease, or steadily decrease with increasing liquid SiO₂ content. At high liquid SiO₂ contents LREE abundances should be slightly enriched to slightly depleted (i.e., C _l/C _o ∼ 2 to 0.2) while HREE abundances should be slightly depleted (C _l/C _o ∼ 1 to 0.2). Lower crustal hornblende-bearing basalt fractionation should yield roughly constant REE abundances with increasing liquid SiO₂ and exhibit only slight enrichment (C _l/C _o ∼ 1.2). Mid to upper crustal hornblende-bearing basalt fractionation should yield steadily increasing LREE abundances but constant and then decreasing HREE abundances. At high liquid SiO₂ contents LREE abundances may range from non-enriched to highly enriched (C _l/C _o ∼ 1 to 5) while HREE abundances are generally non-enriched to only slightly enriched (C _l/C _o ∼ 1 to 2). Hornblende-absent basalt fractionation should yield steadily increasing REE abundances with increasing liquid SiO₂ contents. At high SiO₂ contents both LREE and HREE are highly enriched (C _l/C _o ∼ 3 to 4). It is proposed that these model predictions constitute a viable test for determining a fractionation or amphibolite melting origin for felsic magmas in intra-oceanic arc environments where continental crust is absent.

内蒙古干珠尔善德银铅锌矿床的短波红外光谱研究   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

刘碧洪 《地质与勘探》2016,52(4):703-711

内蒙古干珠尔善德银铅锌矿床是一处构造裂隙充填型脉状矿床,其围岩蚀变作用强烈,伊利石-绢云母类蚀变矿物广泛发育于围岩中,与银铅锌矿化作用密切相关。对围岩开展短波红外光谱测量,可以计算蒙脱石-伊利石-绢云母类矿物的伊利石结晶度(SWIR-IC),从而定量地确定该类蚀变作用的强度。该方法有效性试验研究表明,SWIR-IC与(Pb+Zn)%的品位具有很好的正相关关系,即围岩的伊利石-绢云母化蚀变作用越强,铅锌矿化作用也越强。通过对干珠尔善德详查区进一步开展短波红外光谱测量,在地表圈出了5处规模较大的SWIR-IC异常(IC1~IC5),其中IC1和IC4异常与银铅锌矿化带的位置相一致,IC5则可以作为下一步找矿的靶区。在热液脉状银铅锌矿床的勘查工作中,对围岩开展系统的短波红外光谱测量工作,可以定量地显示伊利石-绢云母化蚀变的强度,指示热液活动中心,从而寻找银铅锌矿体的所在,但需同时确认绢云母是否为热液蚀变成因。  相似文献

在天池火山造锥阶段,长白山火山区玄武质火山活动频繁。文章在野外调查的基础上,通过年代学及地球化学研究,对其活动期次进行划分,并探讨其岩浆来源与演化。天池火山造锥阶段的玄武质火山岩主要呈火山渣锥或小型河谷玄武岩形式分布,其形成可划分为两期:一期为老房子小山期,形成时限为0.87~0.54 Ma,属碱性岩石系列;另一期为老虎洞期,形成时限为0.34~0.1 Ma,属碱性岩石系列和拉斑岩石系列。地球化学特征显示,碱性系列玄武岩具高Al、Ti、K、P和低Mg特征,拉斑系列玄武岩具高Mg、富Fe、Ca和低Na特征;二者稀土和微量特征较为一致,稀土元素配分曲线呈右倾型,略显正铕异常,并富集Ba、K、Pb、P、Ti,亏损Th、U、Sr,但拉斑系列玄武岩的稀土元素和微量元素含量及轻重稀土分馏强度均低于碱性系列。天池火山造锥阶段形成的玄武质火山岩均来源于进化岩浆,具有同源特征,经历了一致或相似的演化过程,岩浆房赋存位置相当于上地幔—下地壳的过渡部位,结晶分异岩浆作用显著、地壳混染作用微弱,其成分变化受控于多期次结晶分异作用和早期结晶再循环的岩浆作用过程。  相似文献

峨眉火成岩省内带出露数十个含Ni-Cu-铂族元素(PGE)硫化物矿床(或矿化)的镁铁质-超镁铁质侵入岩体.根据铂族元素(PGE)含量的不同,这些岩浆硫化物矿床可分为Ni-Cu型(如力马河和清水河)、Ni-Cu-PGE型(如清矿山和黄草坪)和PGE型(如金宝山和杨合武).不同类型含矿岩体的橄榄石电子探针分析表明,除了清矿山岩体少数几个橄榄石晶体属于镁橄榄石外(Fo90.1～Fo93.1),其余均为贵橄榄石(Fo76.8～Fo89.6).不同矿化类型的岩体的橄榄石成分差异明显.Ni-Cu型硫化物含矿岩体的橄榄石Fo为77～87,Ni含量变化范围为(976～2176)×10-6.Ni-Cu-PGE型硫化物含矿岩体的橄榄石Fo为80～86,Ni含量范围为(1024～2543)×10-6.PGE型硫化物含矿岩体的橄榄石Fo为78～84,Ni含量在(776～1755)×10-6之间变化.清矿山Ni-Cu-PGE型硫化物含矿岩体橄榄石具有高Fo(最高达93.1)和CaO含量(0.245%～1.14%)、以及非常低的Ni(266×10-6)的特征,可能是同化混染作用的结果.利用力马河岩体最高Fo含量的橄榄石成分计算表明,母岩...  相似文献   

高温高压下花岗闪长质熔体的斜长石结晶作用实验研究     

夏伟奔  唐红峰  朱成明 《矿物岩石》2010,30(1)

对花岗闪长质熔体在500MPa～2000MPa,650℃～750℃和一定水含量条件下结晶作用实验的结果表明,斜长石在500MPa和水饱和条件下的结晶温度为675℃,斜长石的结晶及其成分明显受温度、压力和熔体水含量影响。花岗闪长质熔体有斜长石结晶时残余熔体的SiO2含量高于无斜长石结晶的情况。花岗闪长质熔体发生角闪石、黑云母和斜长石结晶后的残余熔体在主量元素组成上与典型的A型花岗岩基本一致,也与初始物产地的A型花岗岩接近。因此,实验研究初步从主量元素上证明,东准噶尔A型花岗岩浆可以来源于花岗闪长质岩浆的分异结晶作用。  相似文献

甘肃北山怪石山镁铁质－超镁铁质杂岩体为一具铜镍矿化的基性岩体。岩石地球化学数据显示, 基性岩相Mg#为74, 超基性岩相为84～90, 表明其具有原生岩浆及早期堆晶的特征。稀土和微量元素特征为ΣREE偏低; 球粒陨石标准化配分曲线属轻微右倾的平坦型, (La /Sm) _N为0.99～1.95, (La / Yb) _N为1.13～2.96, (Ce /Yb) _N为1.16～2.37, δEu为0.93～1.02, δCe为0.91～0.95, 基本无异常。结合该岩体产出的构造环境分析, 认为这一岩体应产于活动大陆边缘的构造背景下, 锆石SHRIMP U-Pb测年确定为泥盆纪。甘肃北山地区古生代的俯冲活动可能持续到泥盆纪, 在这一过程中上地幔的尖晶石橄榄岩相发生部分熔融, 产生的上升岩浆并未受到明显混染作用, 从而形成了怪石山镁铁质－超镁铁质岩体, 并伴随有铜－镍矿化。  相似文献   

斜长岩体中Fe-Ti-P矿床的特征与成因   总被引：3，自引：0，他引：3       下载免费PDF全文

岩体型斜长岩为由90%以上斜长石组成的岩浆岩,具变压结晶的特点,仅形成于元古宙(2.1～0.9Ga),常赋存有Fe-Ti-P矿床。Fe-Ti-P矿体既呈整合层状也呈透镜状和席状等不规则形式产出;矿石类型有块状和侵染状,前者矿石矿物含量>70%,后者矿石矿物含量为20%～70%;矿物组成上,不同矿床稍有差别:部分矿床的Fe-Ti氧化物以钛磁铁矿为主、钛铁矿次之,而其他矿床则以赤钛铁矿为主、磁铁矿次之。一些矿床磷灰石含量较高,出现仅由Fe-Ti氧化物和磷灰石组成的铁钛磷灰岩。研究表明,Fe-Ti-P矿床由富Fe、Ti的岩浆演化形成,其母岩浆是在深部岩浆房中大量结晶斜长石后的残余岩浆。部分学者认为不同矿石经正常的结晶分异作用并堆晶形成,但该机制很难解释呈不规则状产出的矿石;其他学者则认为不混熔作用对矿石的富集(尤其是脉状、席状的铁钛磷灰岩)有重要作用,但该机制缺乏岩相学和地球化学方面的证据。河北大庙Fe-Ti-P矿体呈透镜状、席状等不连续地分布于斜长岩中,矿体不发育明显岩浆分层,但仍出现不同矿石的相带。依据详细的岩相学、矿体中矿物含量和成分的变化规律以及全岩地球化学特征,我们判断大庙矿床中不同矿石为堆晶矿物和晶隙流体的混合产物,它们由铁闪长质岩浆经结晶分异和堆晶作用形成,与不混熔作用关系不大。矿体不规则状产出的特点可能与岩浆动力分异作用有关,并伴随有小范围的亚固相迁移。  相似文献   

A low δLi lower crustal component: Evidence from an alkalic intraplate volcanic series (Chaîne des Puys, French Massif Central)     

Cdric Hamelin  Hans-Michael Seitz  Jean-Alix Barrat  Laure Dosso  Ren C. Maury  Marc Chaussidon 《Chemical Geology》2009,266(3-4):205-217

The intraplate volcanic suite of the Chaîne des Puys (French Massif Central) shows a complete petrologic range, from alkali basalts to trachytes. The significant variations of trace elements and radiogenic isotopes along the series strongly support the occurrence of crustal assimilation associated with fractional crystallization (AFC). The least contaminated basalts are clearly related to a HIMU-type reservoir (²⁰⁶Pb/²⁰⁴Pb > 19.6; ⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr < 0.7037; ε_Nd > + 4). The behavior of radiogenic isotopes suggests that the most likely crustal contaminants are meta-sediments located in the lower crust.The Li isotopic compositions of the lavas range from high δ⁷Li (> + 7‰) in basalts to lighter values in more evolved lavas (down to δ⁷Li ≈ 0‰). The mantle component, expressed in the least evolved lavas, has a heavy Li isotopic signature, in good agreement with previous δ⁷Li measurements of OIB lavas with HIMU affinities. The evolution of Li isotopic compositions throughout the volcanic series is in agreement with the AFC model suggested by the Sr–Nd–Pb isotopic systems. Although the behavior of Li isotopes during assimilation processes is currently poorly constrained, our calculations suggest that at least a portion of the lower crust beneath the Chaîne des Puys is characterized by a light Li isotopic composition (δ⁷Li < − 5‰).  相似文献   

Petrology of mafic-ultramafic rocks along North Puruliya Shear zone,West Bengal     

Aditi Mandal  Arijit Ray 《Journal of the Geological Society of India》2009,74(1):108-118

The North Puruliya Shear zone (NPSZ) is characterized by occurrence of mafic-ultramafic rocks aligned parallel to the shear zone, intruding the high grade Proterozoic rocks of Chhotanagpur Gneissic Complex. The ultramafic rocks occur as small lenses, pockets, veins, thin dykes and are intimately associated with mafic (gabbro, norite) rocks. Pyroxenites (viz. olivine websterite, websterite, plagioclase websterite) and hornblendite are the two important members of the ultramafic rocks containing clinopyroxene, orthopyroxene, olivine, plagioclase, amphibole, phlogopite and ilmenite. The mafic-ultramafic rocks show evidence of shearing and retrogressive metamorphism. Linear correlation of chemical attributes suggests fractionation-controlled magmatic differentiation. Enrichment of LILE and LREE in the mafic-ultramafic suite suggests an enriched mantle source and pronounced negative Eu-anomalies in all the rock types except hornblendite suggest fractionation of plagioclase under low f_O2 condition. Progressive iron enrichment trend in rocks of the mafic-ultramafic suite also indicate magmatic differentiation under low f_O2 condition. Early fractionation and accumulation of clinopyroxene and plagioclase from a basaltic magma may have given rise to the ultramafic rocks of the area. Little change in the Nb/Zr and Ce/Zr ratios of ultramafic and mafic rocks (except alkali norite) strongly support low crustal contamination. A few samples of norite and gabbro-norites appeared to be variably contaminated by a crustal component or affected by late granitic intrusion resulting in enrichment of alkali in the former.  相似文献
