The O'okiep Copper District is underlain by voluminous 1035–1210Ma granite gneiss and granite with remnants of metamorphosedsupracrustal rocks. This assemblage was intruded by the 1030Ma copper-bearing Koperberg Suite that includes jotunite, anorthosite,biotite diorite and hypersthene-bearing rocks ranging from leuconoriteto hypersthenite. New sensitive high-resolution ion microprobeage data demonstrate the presence of 1700–2000 Ma zirconas xenocrysts in all of the intrusive rocks, and as detritalzircon in the metasediments of the Khurisberg Subgroup. Thesedata are consistent with published Sm–Nd model ages ofc. 1700 Ma (TCHUR) and c. 2000 Ma (TDM) of many of the intrusivesthat support a major crust-forming event in Eburnian (Hudsonian)times. In addition, U–Th–Pb analyses of zirconsfrom all major rock units define two tectono-magmatic episodesof the Namaquan Orogeny: (1) the O'okiepian Episode (1180–1210Ma), represented by regional granite plutonism, notably theNababeep and Modderfontein Granite Gneisses and the Concordiaand Kweekfontein Granites that accompanied and outlasted (e.g.Kweekfontein Granite) regional tectonism [F2(D2)] and granulite-faciesmetamorphism (M2); (2) the Klondikean Episode (1020–1040Ma), which includes the intrusion of the porphyritic RietbergGranite and of the Koperberg Suite that are devoid of regionalplanar or linear fabrics. Klondikean tectonism (D3) is reflectedby major east–west-trending open folds [F3(D3a)], andby localized east–west-trending near-vertical ductilefolds [‘steep structures’; F4(D3b)] whose formationwas broadly coeval with the intrusion of the Koperberg Suite.A regional, largely thermal, amphibolite- to granulite-faciesmetamorphism (M3) accompanied D3. This study demonstrates, interalia, that the complete spectrum of rock-types of the KoperbergSuite, together with the Rietberg Granite, was intruded in ashort time-interval (<10 Myr) at c. 1030 Ma, and that therewere lengthy periods of about 150 Myr of tectonic quiescencewithin the Namaquan Orogeny: (1) between the O'okiepian andKlondikean Episodes; (2) from the end of the latter to the formalend of Namaquan Orogenesis 800–850 Ma ago.

Basin‐floor topography influences the flow path of hyperpycnal plumes and delta morphology during progradation of the Red River delta in Lake Texoma, USA. The Red River discharge is typically a hyperpycnal plume due to elevated total dissolved solids. Because the river plume is a bottom‐hugging hyperpycnal flow, lake bathymetry and topography strongly influence deposition and subsequent delta morphology. In addition to elevated total dissolved solid concentrations compared with Lake Texoma water, the density contrast of the Red River outflow is increased by high suspended‐sediment concentrations during high‐discharge events. Steep lateral slopes in the Lake Texoma basin deflect hyperpycnal river plumes and, subsequently, change the delta progradation direction before the delta reaches the opposite bank of the lake. Analysis of multi‐temporal aerial and satellite images indicates that the hyperpycnal delta follows the steepest lake‐bottom gradients, corresponding to the pre‐impoundment river thalweg (i.e. bypassing shallow parts of the lake). An analytical model for the hyperpycnal‐plume trajectory indicates plume deflection during low‐discharge or high‐discharge events, towards the deepest part of the basin. The magnitude of plume deflection is a function of river discharge and basin‐margin gradients. Plume deflection can vary between 10° and 80° from the channel axis towards the old river thalweg. The high deflection appears in the case of maximum basin side gradients of 12·8° and in conditions of low river discharge. During low‐discharge periods, the Red River delta builds a lobate shape with multiple terminal distributary channels whereas, during high‐discharge periods the Red River delta builds an elongate shape with a single large distributary channel. The elongate morphology of the delta is formed through the development of a single distributary channel and abandonment of the other distributaries. Therefore, the lobate shaped delta is expected to be preserved in the rock record. 相似文献

Utilisant la spectromètrie de fluorescence-X, la teneur en chlore de quelques 30 échantillons, roches et minéraux, a été déterminée. Nos résultats sont comparées avec les valeurs recommandées ou proposées pour ces échantillons de référence. La méthode proposée doit être utile pour des applications géochimiques courantes. Toutefois, nous pensons qu'il est nécessaire encore d'améliorer le dosage du chlore dans les silicates. 相似文献

A bathymetric overview of the Mariana forearc 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
Bathymetric data at a 200-m contour interval for the entire Mariana forearc, from south of 13°N to 25°N, permits the first comprehensive overview of this feature. The Mariana forearc represents a sediment-starved end-member. The forearc in its southern and central sections is divisible into a structurally complex eastern province and a less-deformed western province. Despite the absence of an accretionary complex the Mariana forearc has a well-defined outer-arc high; this probably results from a greater concentration of low-density serpentinized mantle lithosphere beneath the outer forearc relative to the inner forearc. This serpentinization gradient is coupled with differing deformational styles of thinner and more brittle lithosphere beneath the outer forearc compared to thicker and more ductile lithosphere beneath the inner forearc. The bathymetric data also support models calling for extension along-strike of the forearc, reflecting an increase in arc length accompanying the crescent-shaped opening of the Mariana Trough back-arc basin. Both northeast and northwest ridges and grabens can be identified, with the latter restricted to the southern part of the forearc and the former widely distributed in the central and northern forearc. Northeast-oriented extensional structures are supplanted northward by long, linear northwest-trending structures that are interpreted as left-lateral strike–slip faults. These variations in deformation along-strike of the forearc manifest a transition from nearly orthogonal convergence in the south to highly oblique convergence in the north. 相似文献

Pumice samples from Fukutoku-oka-no-ba in the Izu–Bonin – Mariana (IBM) arc were analysed for 40 trace elements and Sr, Nd, and Pb isotopic compositions. These samples are shoshonites (59.4–61.8 wt% SiO2 ), characterized by high contents of K2 O (3.74–4.64 wt%), Ba (1274–1540 p.p.m.), Rb (91–105 p.p.m.), and light rare earth elements. The characteristics of alkali-element enrichment are similar to those of other parts of the Alkalic Volcano Province (AVP) in the northern Mariana and southernmost Volcano arcs. Sr (87 Sr/86 Sr = 0.7036–0.7038) and Pb isotopic compositions (206 Pb/204 Pb = 19.08–19.11, 207 Pb/204 Pb = 15.62–15.63, 208 Pb/204 Pb = 38.85–38.91) of Fukutoku-oka-no-ba pumice are relatively radiogenic, whereas Nd is unradiogenic (143 Nd/144 Nd = 0.51283–0.51286). Fukutoku-oka-no-ba is isotopically distinct from Iwo Jima and is similar to the Hiyoshi Volcanic Complex, suggesting that Fukutoku-oka-no-ba might have a magma source similar to that of the Hiyoshi volcanic complex. Plots of Pb and Nd isotopes for AVP lavas trend toward the fields of ocean island basalt (OIB) source and pelagic sediments, which are possible sources of AVP enrichments. 相似文献

Very Low-grade Metamorphic Evolution of Pelitic Rocks under High-pressure/Low-temperature Conditions, NW New Caledonia (SW Pacific) 总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2

The P–T gradient in a Late Eocene low-T high-P metamorphicbelt in northern New Caledonia increases from SW to NE. Metapelitesin the pumpellyite–prehnite and blueschist zones containlawsonite, Mg-carpholite, Fe-stilpnomelane and Fe-glaucophane.Thermodynamic calculations indicate a progression of metamorphicconditions from less than 0·3 GPa and 250°C in akaolinite-bearing rock in the SW, up to 1·5 GPa and 410°Cin a lawsonite–glaucophane-bearing sample in the NE ofthe Diahot terrane. Through a multi-method investigation ofphyllosilicates, organic matter and fluid inclusions, we demonstratethat the evolution of organic matter and illite crystallinitydepends strongly on the evolution of the P–T path withtime. In addition, we show that the illite–muscovite bcell dimension provides a robust estimate of maximum pressurereached in low-temperature domains with polyphase metamorphichistories, despite subsequent high-temperature–low-pressureevents. Fluid inclusion study reveals an isothermal decompressionin the Diahot terrane.

Volcanoes of the Mariana arc system produce magmas that belong to several liquid lines of descent and that originated from several different primary magmas. Despite differences in parental magmas, phenocryst assemblages are very similar throughout the arc. The different liquid lines of descent are attributed to differences in degree of silica saturation of the primary liquids and in the processes of magmatic evolution (fractional crystallization vs magma mixing). Pseudoternary projections of volcanic rocks from several arc volcanoes are used to show differences between different magmatic suites. In most of the arc, parental liquids were Ol- and Hy-normative basalts that crystallized olivine, augite, and plagioclase (± iron-titanium oxide) and then plagioclase and two pyroxenes, apparently at low pressure. Eruptive rocks follow subparallel liquid lines of descent on element–element diagrams and on pseudoternary projections. Magmas at North Hiyoshi are Ne-normative and have a liquid line of descent along the thermal divide due to precipitation of olivine, augite, and plagioclase. Derived liquids are large ion lithophile element (LILE)-rich. Magmas at other Hiyoshi seamounts included an alkaline component but had more complex evolution. Those at Central Hiyoshi formed by a process dominated by mixing alkaline and subalkaline magmas, whereas those at other Hiyoshi seamounts evolved by combined magma mixing and fractional crystallization. Influence of the alkaline component wanes as one goes south from North Hiyoshi. Alkaline and subalkaline magmas were also mixed to produce magmas erupted at the Kasuga seamounts that are behind the arc front. The alkaline magmas at both Hiyoshi and Kasuga seamounts had different sources from those of the subalkaline magmas at those sites as indicated by trace element ratios and by Nd . 相似文献

Noble gas concentrations and isotopic compositions have been measured in eight samples of pillow basalt glasses collected from seven different localities along 250 km of the Mariana Trough spreading and rifting axis. The samples have uniform and mid-ocean ridge basalt (MORB)-like 3 He/4 He values of 9–12 × 10–6 (6.4–8.6 times atmospheric) despite large variations in 4 He. Concentrations of the noble gases Ne, Ar, Kr, and Xe show much smaller variations between samples, but larger variations in isotopic compositions of Ne, Ar, and Xe. Excess radiogenic 21 Ne is observed in some samples. 40 Ar/36 Ar varies widely (atmospheric to 1880). Kr is atmospheric in composition for all samples. Some samples show a clear excess 129 Xe, which is a well-known MORB signature. Isotopic compositions of the heavier noble gases (Ar, Kr, and Xe) in some samples, however, show more atmospheric components. These data reflect the interaction of a MORB-like magma with an atmospheric component such as seawater or of a depleted mantle source with a water-rich component that was probably derived from the subducting slab. 相似文献

Archean High-Mg Granodiorite: A Derivative of Light Rare Earth Element-enriched Monzodiorite of Mantle Origin 总被引：22，自引：4，他引：18
The Roaring River Complex, Superior Province, Canada, containsrocks varying from diorite and monzodiorite to granodioritewhich are characterized by high mg-numbers (0.43–0.62),high abundances of Cr (150 ppm), Sr (500–2000 ppm), Ba(1000–2500ppm), and P2O5 (0.5 wt.%), low Rb/Sr ratios (001–0.02),and steeply fractionated, subparallel REE patterns (Cen =65–170,Ybn = 3–6) without Eu anomalies. The continuous compositionalvariation of the rock suite provides a basis for testing thevarious processes thought to have been important in the extractionof granodiorite magmas from the mantle during the Archean. Weconsider (1) the relative roles of partial melting, crystallizationfractionation, and other processes; (2) the role of garnet orother phases in controlling the steep REE patterns of the rocks;and (3) the chemical and isotopic composition of the sourceregion. The subparallel and decreasing REE patterns with increasingsilica, and the ten-fold variation and high abundances of Crand Ni within the diorite-granodiorite series are not consistentwith different extents of melting of basic crust. The scatterin bivariate plots for closely spaced samples does not supportsimple two-component mixing or liquid immiscibility. The compositionalvariation can be explained by crystallization differentiation(from 0 to 90%) of monzodioritic magma through separation ofdioritic cumulates containing clinopyroxene, hornblende, biotite,plagioclase, K-feldspar, and accessories. The compatibilityof the REEs resulted principally from crystallization of spheneand apatite. The parental monzodioritic magmas with their high mg-numbers,Ni, and Cr contents were derived from peridotitic source rocks(mg-numbers>0.80) with low Rb/Sr ratios (<0.02) and light-REEenrichment relative to chondrites. The differences in the REEpatterns of monzodiorite samples do not support, nor rule out,garnet in the residue for melting. If the monzodioritic meltswere derivatives of other melts, the parent melts would havebeen similar to high-Mg monzodiorites (‘sanukitoids’)recognized as components of other diorite-granodiorite bodiesin the region. An Rb-Sr whole-rock isochron (n = 25) yields a minimum crystallizationage of 2623 Ma (?19) with initial 87Sr/86Sr = 070134 (?000004;MSWD=l.8). Sm-Nd isotope data for six rocks yield Nd (2623)=+0.8 ?0.3. The isotope data indicate a source region with long-termRb/Sr of 0.02, similar to depleted mantle, and light-REE depletionrelative to chondrites. The peridotite source to the diorite-granodioriteseries became light-REE enriched before melting through theaddition of a light-REE component of a fluid or melt. In generating Archean granodiorite with suitably high mg-numbers,and Ni, Cr, Sr, Ba, P2O5, and light-REE contents, these dataindicate: (1) the importance of crystallization differentiationof high-Mg monzodioritic parent magmas, (2) that the steep REEpatterns may be a characteristic of the source rocks, and (3)light-REE-enriched, peridotitic sources were melting and contributingsiliceous material directly to the Archean crust. 相似文献

Chemical Diversity of the Ueno Basalts, Central Japan: Identification of Mantle and Crustal Contributions to Arc Basalts 总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2
KIMURA JUN-ICHI; MANTON WILLIAM I.; SUN CHIH-HSIEN; IIZUMI SHIGERU; YOSHIDA TAKEYOSHI; STERN ROBERT J. 《Journal of Petrology》2002,43(10):1923-1946
The Ueno Basalts of central Japan comprise a monogenetic volcaniccone complex that was active between 2·76 and 1·34Ma. Basalts were erupted at more than 14 centers scattered overa region 40 km in diameter. Alkali basalt was erupted first,followed by sub-alkaline basalt. Quasi-concentric expansionof eruption centers coinciding with uplift and with decreasingalkalinity of the lavas suggests that Ueno magmatism originatedfrom a mantle diapir as it mushroomed at the base of the lithosphere.Depleted asthenospheric mantle (alkali basalt), enriched lithosphericmantle (sub-alkaline basalt), and crustal components are identifiedas chemical end-members in the petrogenesis of the Ueno Basalts.Incompatible trace element abundances indicate that the Uenoalkali basalts are typical within-plate basalts, whereas thesub-alkaline basalts show strong affinities with normal arclavas. Sr–Nd–Pb isotopic compositions indicate thatthe mantle source of the alkali basalts was more depleted thanthat of the sub-alkaline basalts. About 7% melting of asthenosphericmantle in the garnet-lherzolite stability field produced theprimitive alkali basalts and 12% melting of spinel lherzolitewithin the subcontinental lithosphere produced the primitivesub-alkaline basalts. Isotopic compositions and fluid mobile/immobileelement ratios broadly covary with SiO2 contents in the sub-alkalinesuite, and increasing silica content is associated with strongerEMII (Enriched Mantle II) isotope affinities and fluid mobileelement abundances. A progressive AFC (assimilation–fractionalcrystallization) model assuming assimilation of a low-K silicicmelt reproduces the chemical variations observed in the sub-alkalinesuite. Melting of a flattening mantle diapir at the base ofthe lithosphere is the dominant cause of Ueno magmatism, accompaniedby the assimilation of older arc crust.
