Metasomatic mineral-bearing and/or trace element-enriched ultramaficassemblages have been reported from very few Alpine-type massifs.The small ultramafic body from Caussou (Ari?ge, northeasternPyrenees) compared with other north Pyrenean ultramafic complexesshows distinctive features which are similar to those of modallymetasomatized mantle xenoliths found in alkali basalts. It ismainly composed of clinopyroxene-rich spinel lherzolites (cpx/opxratios 1), with subordinate titanian pargasite-rich peridotites,both greatly depleted in orthopyroxene. Moreover the Caussouperidotites differ from other Ari?ge peridotites in the presenceof ilmenite, the abundance of sulfide inclusions in pyroxenesand amphiboles, higher Al, Ca, Na, K, Ti, and lower Mg contents,and enrichment in incompatible trace elements (ITE). Such mineralogicaland geochemical features are interpreted as resulting from modalmetasomatism produced by influxes of silicate melt into theperidotites. At Caussou, the metasomatic assemblage comprisesTi-pargasite+Ti-bearing clinopyr oxene+ilmenite+Ti-phlogopite+sulphide+fluid,suggesting that K, Ti, Na, ITE (including S, H₂O CO₂ and possiblyFe and Ca, were introduced by the metasomatizing agent. Thismetasomatism was probably imposed on an ultramafic associationdominated by LREE-depleted peridotites similar to the northPyrenean spinel lherzolites. These features indicate that, underupper lithospheric mantle conditions, a mafic melt locally infiltratedlherzolites by a grain-boundary percolation process and reactedwith the original mineral assemblage. The infiltration of alkali-basalticliquids into spinel peridotite led to: (1) partial dissolutionof orthopyroxene and, locally, spinel; (2) crystallization ofclinopyroxene directly from introduced melts; and (3) re-crystallization/equilibrationof pre-existing clinopyroxene with these magmatic liquids. Inthe last stage of the metasomatism, segregation of more fractionatedsilicate liquids, coexisting with a (CO₂+H₂O) fluid phase, mayhave been responsible for the crystallization of titanian pargasite,possibly by means of hydro-fracturing mechanism. The pervasive modal metasomatism at Caussou was contemporaneouswith the segregation of amphibole-bearing dykes in the Lherz-Freychin?debodies (northeast Pyrenees) (101–103 Ma). They representtwo manifestations of the same magmatic event in the lithosphericmantle, probably related the Middle Cretaceous alkaline magmatisrnof the Pyrenees.  相似文献   

Last interglacial-glacial climatic cycle in loess-palaeosol successions of north-western France     

PIERRE ANTOINE  DENIS-DIDIER ROUSSEAU  JEAN-PIERRE LAUTRIDOU  CHRISTINE HATTé 《Boreas: An International Journal of Quaternary Research》1999,28(4):551-563

The loess series at St. Pierre-les-Elbeuf and St. Sauflieu are key successions for the western European Quaternary stratigraphy. The present study proposes a detailed record of the last interglacial-glacial climatic cycle at St. Pierre and its integration into the synthetic pedosedimentary record of north-western France using detailed correlations with the type sections of St. Sauflieu and Achenheim. Finally, comparisons with the marine isotope, Greenland GRIP chronologies and dust records are proposed. At St. Pierre, the pedostratigraphic and sedimentological analyses (total iron, organic matter, carbonate, grain size), in association with low field magnetic susceptibility measurements, demonstrate that this loess succession records the major climatic events of the Upper Pleistocene. The basal soil complex at St. Pierre is similar to those from the main successions of North (St. Sauflieu) or Northeast France (Achenheim). It shows a Bt horizon of brown leached soil, a deeply reworked grey forest soil and two isohumic steppe soils separated by a non-calcareous loess layer. This loess level corresponds to the first aeolian event clearly observed in the succession and can be correlated with Marker II of the Central European stratigraphy located around the marine isotope stage (MIS) 5/4 boundary. The main aeolian sedimentation starts after the soil complex and ends with the top soil (brown leached soil). Finally, a good parallel is observed between the strongest peaks of the dust records of the ice cores and the main period of loess deposition in St Pierre-lès-Elbeuf occurring during MIS 2.  相似文献   

Petrogenesis of Mafic Garnet Granulite in the Lower Crust of the Kohistan Paleo-arc Complex (Northern Pakistan): Implications for Intra-crustal Differentiation of Island Arcs and Generation of Continental Crust   总被引：13，自引：0，他引：13

We report the results of a geochemical study of the Jijal andSarangar complexes, which constitute the lower crust of theMesozoic Kohistan paleo-island arc (Northern Pakistan). TheJijal complex is composed of basal peridotites topped by a gabbroicsection made up of mafic garnet granulite with minor lensesof garnet hornblendite and granite, grading up-section to hornblendegabbronorite. The Sarangar complex is composed of metagabbro.The Sarangar gabbro and Jijal hornblende gabbronorite have melt-like,light rare earth element (LREE)-enriched REE patterns similarto those of island arc basalts. Together with the Jijal garnetgranulite, they define negative covariations of La_N, Yb_N and(La/Sm)_N with Eu^* [Eu^* = 2 x Eu_N/(Sm_N + Gd_N), where N indicateschondrite normalized], and positive covariations of (Yb/Gd)_Nwith Eu^*. REE modeling indicates that these covariations cannotbe accounted for by high-pressure crystal fractionation of hydrousprimitive or derivative andesites. They are consistent withformation of the garnet granulites as plagioclase–garnetassemblages with variable trapped melt fractions via eitherhigh-pressure crystallization of primitive island arc basaltsor dehydration-melting of hornblende gabbronorite, providedthat the amount of segregated or restitic garnet was low (<5wt %). Field, petrographic, geochemical and experimental evidenceis more consistent with formation of the Jijal garnet granuliteby dehydration-melting of Jijal hornblende gabbronorite. Similarly,the Jijal garnet-bearing hornblendite lenses were probably generatedby coeval dehydration-melting of hornblendites. Melting modelsand geochronological data point to intrusive leucogranites inthe overlying metaplutonic complex as the melts generated bydehydration-melting of the plutonic protoliths of the Jijalgarnet-bearing restites. Consistent with the metamorphic evolutionof the Kohistan lower arc crust, dehydration-melting occurredat the mature stage of this island arc when shallower hornblende-bearingplutonic rocks were buried to depths exceeding 25–30 kmand heated to temperatures above c. 900°C. Available experimentaldata on dehydration-melting of amphibolitic sources imply thatthickening of oceanic arcs to depths >30 km (equivalent toc. 1·0 GPa), together with the hot geotherms now postulatedfor lower island arc crust, should cause dehydration-meltingof amphibole-bearing plutonic rocks generating dense garnetgranulitic roots in island arcs. Dehydration-melting of hornblende-bearingplutonic rocks may, hence, be a common intracrustal chemicaland physical differentiation process in island arcs and a naturalconsequence of their maturation, leading to the addition ofgranitic partial melts to the middle–upper arc crust andformation of dense, unstable garnet granulite roots in the lowerarc crust. Addition of LREE-enriched granitic melts producedby this process to the middle–upper island arc crust maydrive its basaltic composition toward that of andesite, affordinga plausible solution to the ‘arc paradox’ of formationof andesitic continental-like crust in island arc settings.

The influence of peripheral sabkhas on the geochemistry and sedimentology of a Tunisian lagoon: Bahiret el Biban     

KHALED MEDHIOUB  JEAN-PIERRE PERTHUISOT† 《Sedimentology》1981,28(5):679-688

Bahiret el Biban is a restricted lagoon in an arid climate. The general geological setting is briefly analysed, especially with respect to the relations between the water body and its evaporitic bordering areas, i.e. supratidal sabkhas. The geochemical behaviour of the lagoon waters has been studied over a 2-year period following floodings. In spite of some exchange with the open sea, there is a general tendency towards increasing salinity, calcium sulphate impoverishment and a consequent increase of the Mg/Ca ratio. Thus, unless large floodings occur, the basin waters undergo an evaporitic evolution. Sedimentation and early diagenesis are controlled largely by this geochemical pattern, but also by exchange with the open sea and by the water depth. Organic matter derived from the sea is deposited on entering this highly saline basin and locally produces sediments which could eventually become source rocks. Bahiret el Biban is a possible model which may be of considerable interest in the reconstruction of the early stages of the evolution of evaporitic basins.  相似文献
