Spinel-olivine geothermometry in peridotites from ultramafic complexes   总被引：7，自引：0，他引：7  

Jacques Fabriès 《Contributions to Mineralogy and Petrology》1979,69(4):329-336

An empirical calibration of the spinel-olivine geothermometer (Evans and Frost, 1975) is attempted and applied to parageneses of lherzolitic rocks. In ultramafic complexes, most of the derived temperature estimates range between 700 ° and 850 °C, and appear generally lower than those given by other geothermometers, based upon Ca or Al contents of coexisting pyroxenes. A comparison of the different thermometric data in two well studied occurrences, the Ronda ultramafic complex and the San Carlos xenolith field, suggests that differential rates of diffusion and recrystalization may account for the large range of temperatures (between 700 ° and 1200 °C) determined by various mineral geothermometers in peridotites. The equilibrium exchange of Mg and Fe between spinel and olivine would be the fastest one and would continue effectively during the cooling down to relatively low temperatures, while other exchange reactions used as geothermometers in peridotites, like partitioning of Ca and Al in coexisting pyroxenes, are blocked at higher temperatures.  相似文献   

The high-pressure assemblages at Milos,Greece     

Jacques Kornprobst  Jean-Robert Kienast  Jean-Claude Vilminot 《Contributions to Mineralogy and Petrology》1979,69(1):49-63

Metamorphic rocks at Milos are known in small outcrops beneath the volcanic formations, as xenoliths in the Traphores volcanic breccia and as pebbles in the Paleochora Quaternary deposits. These rocks seem to belong to three different metamorphic units which probably have intricate relationships in the basement: — the eclogites unit shows garnetjadeite or garnet-omphacite primary associations, with apparently late crystallization of lawsonite phenoblasts an recrystallization features at relatively low temperatures; — the glaucophane schist unit exhibits Jadeite+quartz or glaucophane+lawsonite primary mineralogy; — the greenschist facies unit shows low-pressure main assemblages, most generally developed after high-pressure events. The two former units involve tholeiitic meta-igneous rocks, having been spilitized before metamorphism; they generally suffered more or less advanced recrystallization features in the low-pressure field of the greenschist facies. The third unit shows only meta-sedimentary rocks, with the sole exception of one single meta-doleritic pebble having calk-alkaline affinities.Petrological and mineralogical studies, based upon 15 bulk-rock compositions and 178 probe-analysed data points, lead to suspect at least 2, perhaps 3, different metamorphic events rather than one single metamorphic evolution, to account for the 3 U distinguished. From the observation of the mineralogical assemblages and their evolution, the former events (stages 1 and 2) could be related to rapid subduction of ocean-floor or back-arc basalts, whereas, during the latter event (stage 3), the rocks experienced crystallization conditions involving both decreasing pressures and increasing temperatures.  相似文献   

From subduction to transform motion: a seabeam survey of the Hellenic trench system

Preliminary results of a multi-narrow beam survey of the Hellenic trench system, in the Eastern Mediterranean, are presented. The southwestern Ionian branch is divided in small basins, partly filled with Pleistocene sediments. The morphology suggests that the basins are deformed by a compressional stress acting roughly perpendicularly to the trench along N50°E. This direction is the direction of the regional slip vector of the shallow thrust-type earthquakes. The structure of the southeastern Pliny-Strabo branch is quite different. Narrow en-e´chelon slots, oriented N40°E, have been mapped within the main troughs oriented N60°E. The regional earthquake slip vector is also oriented along N40°E. We conclude that the Hellenic trench system is an active subduction system, dominated by thrust along the Ionian branch and by transform motion along the Pliny-Strabo branch.  相似文献   

Determination of the mean principal directions of stresses for a given fault population   总被引：8，自引：0，他引：8  

Jacques Angelier 《Tectonophysics》1979,56(3-4)

New methods of determination of stress axes, from field measurements of the orientations of faults and slickenslides, are discussed. Results show that the approximation which assumes that relative motion along any fault is controlled by a single common mean stress tensor is valid.  相似文献   

Rare anthropogenic and natural particles suspended in deep ocean waters     

Jacques Jedwab 《Earth and Planetary Science Letters》1980,49(2):551-564

Four hundred membrane filters from the Atlantic and Pacific deep waters have been scanned for coloured and opaque particles by a method integrating the light and the scanning electron microscopes, the electron microprobe and the micro-X-ray diffraction camera. About 40 different types of particles have been found. A tentative classification of the particles and of their morphological and chemical varieties is presented, according to their anthropogenic or natural origins. From this point of view, the particles fall into five groups: (1) particle species exclusively produced by man's activities (like brass, cobalt aluminate); (2) particles exclusively produced by natural processes (like amphibole, ilmenite); (3) particles rarely produced by natural processes, but massively so by man (like metallic copper, chromium oxide); (4) a large group of particles massively produced by nature and by man (like magnetite spherules, malachite); (5) a very small group of particles whose origin could not be attributed at present. Very few entirely new compounds from the point of view of continental mineralogy have been encountered.  相似文献   

Evolution de la structure de la couche limite planetaire sur des sites oceaniques et continentaux     

Daniel Guedalia  Aimé Druilhet  Jacques Fontan 《Boundary-Layer Meteorology》1978,14(4):457-469

We have studied the evolution of the planetary boundary layer using both oceanic and continental stations. This has been possible through the analysis of twice-daily temperature radiosondes at three different oceanic stations (Point A; Point K; and Azores) and also at three continental stations (Berlin, Trappes and Madrid) all situated in the Northern Hemisphere. We have studied the annual evolution of mixing layers and of temperature inversion levels; an annual evolution presenting a minimum in winter and a maximum in summer has been observed in the continental stations; the oceanic stations present a lesser variation and in the opposite sense. As for the elevated inversion layers, their maximum frequency can be observed in summer at the oceanic stations and in winter at the continental stations. We have shown that considering the studied stations, both the level and the frequency of the elevated inversion layers are similar at 00 h and at 12 h; such a result is important because these layers regulate the intensity of the exchanges between the ground and the free atmosphere. Using the equivalent coefficient, we have determined the annual variation of the vertical exchanges between the surface and different altitudes. At the continental stations, the vertical exchanges are more important in summer than they are in winter; the opposite behaviour occurs at the oceanic stations.  相似文献   

Garnet zoning and orthopyroxene + plagioclase coronitisation     

Jacques Kornprobst 《Contributions to Mineralogy and Petrology》1977,61(3):267-277

A very uncommon garnet-zoning—Ca poor centre and Ca rich margin—has been observed, in a granulite facies rock. Calculation of equilibrium at each stage of the garnet growth led to apply in this particular case, as well as for the most garnet-zoning instances, the Rayleigh fractionation model, the fractionation factor Ca being less than 1 at the beginning of the crystallization. Subsequent coronitisation, at lower P and/or higher T, involved the development of orthopyroxene and plagioclase in equilibrium with a thin (15 thick) Ca-Mg poor and Fe rich outer cuticle of the garnet: thus the garnet lattice appears to be not so refractory as previously admitted, and in most coronitisation processes involving garnet such an outer cuticle must be considered as a component of the new mineral assemblage.  相似文献   

Etude des solutions solides des néphélines (Na,K)AlSiO₄ et (Na,Rb)AlSiO₄     

Jacques Roux 《Geochimica et cosmochimica acta》1974,38(8):1213-1224

Ion exchange equilibrium of nepheline solid solutions (Na, K)AlSiO₄ and (Na, Rb)AlSiO₄ with hydrothermal solutions has been studied at 600°C and 2000 bars. The behaviour of dilute solid solutions was specially investigated.Na-Rb ion exchange data can be represented satisfactorily by a model taking into account the existence of two different sites in the structure of nepheline. At 600°C Rb atoms substitute almost exclusively for Na atoms situated in the larger sites. On the other hand, this model only partially applies to Na-K ion exchange equilibrium.Finally, the importance of the ion exchange data concerning extremely dilute solutions to calculate activity-composition diagrams is emphasized with special reference to the nepheline solid solutions.  相似文献   

Inorganic arsenic speciation in the waters of the Penzé estuary (NW France): Seasonal variations and fluxes to the coastal area     

Jennifer Vandenhecke  Matthieu Waeles  Jean-Yves Cabon  Cédric Garnier  Ricardo D. Riso 《Estuarine, Coastal and Shelf Science》2010

Over this one-year study, the variations of inorganic As species were examined monthly along the salinity gradient of the Penzé estuary (NW France) in relation with different biogeochemical parameters. In most cases, dissolved As exhibited a non-conservative behaviour which resulted from the competition between two major processes. In the upstream section of the estuary, a strong input of both total inorganic As and As(III) occurred. Then, the removal of the same species, under precipitation of iron oxides/oxyhydroxides, was observed in the low-salinity range (S < 10). Using our experimental data, the fluxes of the various As species were estimated for the first time in estuarine waters. Inputs from the river were mainly constituted of particulate As (∼70%). Conversely, dissolved species were predominant in the net fluxes (∼65%) and As(III) accounted for ∼15% of the dissolved net flux.  相似文献
