The Signature of Amphibole in Mafic Alkaline Lavas, a Study in the Northern Canadian Cordillera 总被引：2，自引：8，他引：2
Despite evidence for its involvement, the importance of amphibolein controlling the compositions of mafic alkaline magmas remainsunder-appreciated. Relatively small variations in large ionlithophile elements (LILE) with respect to other incompatibleelements, such as light rare-earth elements (LREE) or Th, requirethat amphibole was an important residual phase during the productionof Late Tertiary to Recent olivine nephelinite (Ol-NEPH) magmasbeneath the northern Canadian Cordillera. The erupted maficmagma types define a continuous array from Ol-NEPH to hypersthene-normativeolivine basalt (Hy-NORM AOB). The overall compositional arrayhas a sense of curvature which is counter to binary mixing,but can be modeled by two distinct linear melting trends: onefrom Ol-NEPH to basanite (BASAN) compositions, during whichamphibole controlled the composition of the melt, and the ratiosof LILE/LREE change significantly, but the ratios of high fieldstrength elements (HFSE) remain relatively constant; the otherfrom BASAN to Hy-NORM AOB corresponding to the melting of alherzolite assemblage, following the exhaustion of amphibole,across which the ratios of LILE/LREE remain relatively constant,but the ratios of HFSE change significantly. Other intraplate alkaline suites, such as those of the HawaiianIslands, show similar evidence for the involvement of residualamphibole in the genesis of Ol-NEPH to BASAN magmas. The meltingof any amphibole-bearing mantle assemblage is likely to be atwo-step process, regardless of whether the amphibole is segregatedas veins or distributed interstitially. In a water-undersaturatedenvironment, the first stage of melting is controlled by thebreakdown of amphibole, which produces silica-saturated liquidsbelow 12 kbar and silica-undersaturated liquids at greater depths,with little contribution from other mineral phases. In the secondstage, following the exhaustion of amphibole, the major elementcompositions of subsequent melts change rapidly to equilibratewith a lherzolite mineralogy, but the incompatible trace-elementcharacteristics of the former amphibole persist.

Rhythmically layered anorthosite and gabbro are exposed in a4–10-m thick interval at the base of the layered gabbrounit on North Arm Mountain, one of four massifs that composethe Bay of Islands ophiolite, Newfoundland. Within the rhythmicallylayered interval, up to 37 anorthosite layers 1–2 cm thickalternate with gabbroic layers 7–10 cm thick. Anorthositesare adcumulates (most contain <6ppm Zr) with 98–99%plagioclase (Plag) and 1–2% intergranular clinopyroxene(Cpx), whereas gabbros are adcumulates to mesocumulates (<6–20ppmZr) with 35–55% Plag, and the balance olivine (Ol) + Cpx? orthopyroxene (Opx). Average mineral compositions are: Olmg-number [100 ?Mg/(Mg + Fe)]=84?9, NiO=0?13wt. % Plag An =87?9; Cpx mg-number = 88?3, TiO2=0?20 wt %; and Opx mg-number= 85?7. Rare earth element (REE) concentrations in clinopyroxeneand plagioclase are low throughout the rhythmically layeredinterval (<5 times chondrites). The rhythmically layeredinterval is sandwiched between thick layers of adcumulate toorthocumulate uniform gabbro with average modal proportionsof 54% Plag-39% Cpx-3% Ol-4% Opx. Average mineral compositionsare: Ol mg-number = 75?5, NiO = 0?08 wt. %; Plag An=69%6; Cpxmg-number = 81?2, TiO2 =0?53 wt. %, and Opx mg-number = 77?5.Clinopyroxene and plagioclase REE abundances are systematicallyhigher in the uniform gabbro interval than in the rhythmicallylayered interval. Calculated fractional crystallization pathsand correlated cryptic variation patterns suggest that uniformand rhythmically layered gabbros represent 20–30% in situcrystallization of two distinct magma batches, one more evolvedand the other more primitive. When the more primitive magmaentered the crystallization site of the NA300–301 gabbros,it is estimated to have been 40?C hotter than the resident evolvedmagma, and may have been chilled by contact with a magma chambermargin composed of uniform gabbro. In this model, chilling causedthe liquid to become supercooled with respect to plagioclasenucleation temperatures, resulting in crystallization of gabbrodeficient in plagioclase relative to equilibrium cotectic proportions.Subtraction of a plagioclase-poor melagabbro enriched the liquidin normative plagioclase, which in turn led to crystallizationof an anorthosite layer. Alternating anorthosite and gabbrolayers in the rhythmically layered interval built up by coupledand sustained variations in crystal nucleation and growth rates,and associated variations in liquid compositions at the crystallizationfront. Relatively stagnant magma-flow conditions may be requiredto accumulate substantial thicknesses of rhythmically layeredcumulates by sustained oscillatory crystallization. The rarityof anorthosite-gabbro rhythmic phase layering on North Arm Mountainmay indicate that convective magma currents in the Bay of Islandsmagma chamber were too vigorous for oscillatory crystallizationto commonly occur. 相似文献

The Mantle Source for Olivine Nephelinite, Basanite, and Alkaline Olivine Basalt at Fort Selkirk, Yukon, Canada 总被引：2，自引：1，他引：1
Olivine nephelinite, basanite, and transitional alkaline basaltlavas of the Quaternary Fort Selkirk volcanic complex in thecentral Yukon represent three distinct alkaline magma serieswhich have evolved along diverging paths. They cannot be relatedby low-pressure crystal-liquid fractionation, and systematicisotopic differences make it difficult to derive them by variabledegrees of melting of a common mantle source. Field evidencerequires, however, that these three magma series are intimatelyrelated in time and space, and they share a number of anomalouschemical characteristics including low Ca/Na ratios with respectto the majority of terrestrial equivalents. When the effectsof differential olivine fractionation are ignored, the compositionalspectrum of the Fort Selkirk lavas approximates a binary mixingline between transitional alkaline basalt and olivine nephelinite.A population gap along this mixing line, located between thecompositions of the nephelinite and basanite lavas, coincideswith the compositions of amphibole and/or amphibole–garnet–clinopyroxeneassemblages observed in mantle xenoliths. This compositionalgap may represent a thermal divide separating two minimum-meltcompositions in a mantle source consisting of a lherzolite hostcut by amphibole–garnet–clinopyroxenite veins. Theolivine nephelinite endmember may have been derived by earlymelting in the amphibole–garnet–clinopyroxeniteveins, whereas the transitional alkaline basalt would representmore extensive melting of the host lherzolite. 相似文献

Using experimental results at 1·0 GPa for the systemsCaO–SiO2, MgO–SiO2, CaMgSi2O6–SiO2 and CaMgSi2O6–Mg2SiO4,and all the currently available phase equilibria and thermodynamicdata at 1 bar, we have optimized the thermodynamic propertiesof the liquid phase at 1·0 GPa. The new optimized thermodynamicparameters indicate that pressure has little effect on the topologyof the CaO–SiO2, CaMgSi2O6–SiO2, and CaMgSi2O6–Mg2SiO4systems but a pronounced one on the MgO–SiO2 binary. Themost striking change concerns passage of the MgSiO3 phase fromperitectic melting at 1 bar to eutectic melting at 1·0GPa. This transition is estimated to occur at 0·41 GPa.For the CaMgSi2O6–SiO2 and CaMgSi2O6–Mg2SiO4 pseudo-binaries,the size of the field clinopyroxene + liquid increases withincreasing pressure. This change is related to the shift ofthe piercing points clinopyroxene + silica + liquid (from 0·375mol fraction SiO2 at 1 bar to 0·414 at 1·0 GPa)and clinopyroxene + olivine + liquid (from 0·191 molfraction SiO2 at 1 bar to 0·331 at 1·0 GPa) thatbound the clinopyroxene + liquid field in the CaMgSi2O6·SiO2and CaMgSi2O6·Mg2SiO4 pseudo-binaries, respectively.

The Lithospheric Mantle beneath Continental Margins: Melting and Melt-Rock Reaction in Canadian Cordillera Xenoliths 总被引：3，自引：0，他引：3
Seven alkali basalt centers in the southern Canadian Cordilleracontain mantle xenolith suites that comprise spinel Cr-diopsideperidotites, spinel augite-bearing wehrlites and orthopyroxene-poorlherzolites, and minor pyroxenites. The Cr-diopside peridotitesappear to be residues of the extraction of Mg-rich basalts byup to 15% partial melting (median 5–10%) of a pyrolite-likesource in the spinel stability field. The xenoliths are similarto other mantle xenolith suites derived from beneath convergentcontinental margins, but are less depleted, less oxidized, andhave lower spinel mg-number than peridotites found in fore-arcsettings. Their dominant high field strength element depletedcharacter, however, is typical of arc lavas, and may suggestthat fluids or melts circulating through the Canadian Cordilleralithosphere were subduction related. Modeling using MELTS isconsistent with the augite-bearing xenoliths being formed byinteraction between crystallizing alkaline melts and peridotite.Assimilation–fractional crystallization modeling suggeststhat the trace element patterns of liquids in equilibrium withthe augite xenoliths may represent the initial melts that reactedwith the peridotite. Moreover, the compositions of these meltsare similar to those of some glasses observed in the mantlexenoliths. Melt–rock interaction may thus be a viablemechanism for the formation of Si- and alkali-rich glass inperidotites.

Paragenetic Relationships in an Amphibolitic Tectonic Block in the Franciscan Terrain, Panoche Pass, California 总被引：1，自引：1，他引：1
Two tectonic inclusions within the Franciscan mélangeof California display a relict epidoteamphibolitic assemblagethat has been modified by rather continuous degrees of retrogressivereplacement to blueschist facies minerals. The relict assemblageconsists of plagioclase +hornblende+epidote+sphene±rutile±calcicpyroxene±garnet; superimposed during later blueschistmetamorphism is the asemblage sodic amphibole+lawsonite±sodicpyroxene±pumpellyite±phengitic mica ±albite+sphene±Ca-carbonate.In an attempt to evaluate chemical redistribution accompanyingblueschist metamorphism, electron microprobe analyses have beendetermined for all major minerals from both assemblages. Hornblende commonly exhibits replacement by crossite aroundgrain boundaries and replacement patches of more riebeckiticamphibole adjacent to mafic grains or inclusions; actinoliticamphibole occurs in veins cross-cutting hornblende and in somecases these veins are zoned to include a central core of sodicamphibole. Omphacitic pyroxene occurs in veinlets and replacescalcic pyroxene in some cases; a more aluminous omphacite varietyis commonly associated with the breakdown of epidote. Garnetis highly retrogressed to chlorite. In general, relict Ca-Alsilicates are in various stages of breakdown, being largelyconverted to lawsonite and pumpellyite; concurrently Na-Al silicatesformed by replacement where early calcic minerals participatedin blueschist reactions. Reactants and products may be separatedby phases not participating in the reactions. Whole rock compositionspoint strongly to a closed system with respect to all majorcations, and the principal source for Na participating in replacementreactions appears to be from the breakdown of albite. The mechanismfor replacement of the older assemblage is primarily attributedto a contemporaneous series of coupled reactions among nearlyall the early minerals and a fluid phase. Sea-floor spreading models may explain the tectonic emplacementof the amphibolite from a relatively high temperature-high pressureregime into a comparatively low temperature-high pressure environmentleading to the observed mineralogical re-adjustments. 相似文献

Mantle-Melt Interaction Recorded in Spinel Lherzolite Xenoliths from the Alligator Lake Volcanic Complex, Yukon, Canada 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
Magmas which have equilibrated with the Earth's upper mantleare generally assumed to be compositionally buffered by spinellherzolite as represented by Cr-diopside series xenoliths foundin alkaline lavas. The fact that the mineral equilibria preservedin such xenoliths typically reflect re-equilibration at sub-solidusmantle conditions, however, has discouraged attempts to usethe compositional variation observed in spinel lherzolite xenolithsto constrain the compositions of melts extracted from the uppermantle. A suite of mantle-derived xenoliths from the AlligatorLake volcanic center in the southern Yukon, Canada, exhibitsa bimodal xenolith population consisting of lherzolites, themost fertile of which approach pyrolite in composition, andrelatively depleted harzburgites. If a source-residue relationshipis assumed between the two, then the extracted melt was a picriticmagma (17 wt. per cent MgO, 23 Mg cation units) with low Febut relatively high Si contents, similar to picritic lavas associatedwith subduction margins. The compositional variation within the lherzolite xenoliths,however, is not towards the majority of the harzburgite xenoliths,but towards relatively rare, Fe-rich harzburgites. Reactionsobserved between the xenoliths and their alkaline host lavasmay provide an analogue for the upper mantle process which producedthis trend. The observed reactions result in the loss of anAl and Si-rich melt associated with the preferential destructionof pyroxene and spinel and a concomitant rise in the Fe contentof residual olivine. The result of such an interaction in theupper mantle would be the development of a Fe and oli vine-richresidue similar to the observed Fe-rich harzburgites. In turn,the magma responsible would be forced to evolve towards moreSi-rich, but Fe-poor compositions than would otherwise be possibleby closed system, crystal fractionation. A comparison with other mantle xenolith suites indicates thatthe compositional spectra of many of those associated with continentalalkaline basalts can be interpreted in terms of the extractionof picritic magmas similar to that calculated for AlligatorLake. Xenolith suites from oceanic islands such as Hawaii, incontrast, contain fertile lherzolites which are considerablymore Fe-rich than pyrolite. The associated refractory xenoliths,however, are similar to those at Alligator Lake and their derivationfrom such fertile lherzolites would require the extraction ofa picritic melt which was both Fe and Si-rich, similar to theobserved tholeiitic picritcs of the shield-building stage ofHawaiian volcanism. Alternately, the Fe-rich lherzolites mayrepresent samples of upper mantle which have reacted extensivelywith the relatively Fe-rich Hawaii magmas. Xenolith suites fromkimberlites, on the otheT hand, are dominated by refractoryharzburgites which are richer in Si but poorer in Fe than theAlligator Lake harzburgites. They suggest that the lower continentallithosphere is both more orthopyroxene-rich and more depletedthan the upper mantle sampled by alkaline basalts. In general,the derivation of depleted harzburgite xenoliths by the partialmelting of a pyrolite mantle source seems to require the extractionof picritic magmas. If the majority of terrestrial basalticmagmas are not derived from picritic parental magmas, they requirethe existence of mantle source regions more Fe-rich than standardpyrolite models. 相似文献
