胶北地块变质基底超镁铁岩的矿物岩石地球化学特征

胶北地块变质基底的蛇纹岩、蛇纹岩化尖晶石方辉橄榄岩、尖晶石橄榄斜方辉石岩、角闪石岩自形成以后,经历了早期的高角闪岩相和晚期绿片岩相的变质作用,因而记录了三个阶段的矿物组合:早期的Opx1+Ol1+Spl1;中期的Opx2+Ol2+Spl2+Amp2和晚期的Amp3+Srp3+Mag3+Cal组合。超镁铁岩中普遍存在的角闪石,具有粒状变晶结构特征,形成于角闪岩相和绿片岩相的变质作用过程。蛇纹石没有受到应力作用的迹象,显示其形成于晚期非挤压环境的交代变质作用过程。尖晶石橄榄岩中斜方辉石的矿物化学以及尖晶石橄榄岩的高Mg O含量都表现出克拉通橄榄岩的性质。角闪石岩的稀土元素配分图解的(La/Sm)N的比值1.11~1.41,(La/Yb)N的比值0.91~1.61,超镁铁岩多元素图解显示无高场强元素异常,都表明胶北地块变质基底的超镁铁岩形成的构造背景或是裂谷环境。尖晶石矿物的Mg#0.72~0.79、Cr#0.06~0.12表明交代变质成因。方辉橄榄岩橄榄石的Fo值88.42~90.50、超镁铁质岩石全岩主元素的分散性、较大的∑REE含量变化以及Si/Al-(Mg+Fe)/Al和Mg/Ti-Fe/Ti主元素的比值图解所表现出的超镁铁岩与角闪石岩具有成因联系等,都表明胶北变质基底的超镁铁岩可能是具有堆晶成因的一套幔源岩浆系列。高MgO含量(16%~42%)表现出前寒武纪变质基底的橄榄岩地幔性质;高水含量反映出漫长地质历史时期变质作用过程。

秦岭勉略带中鞍子山蛇绿杂岩的地球化学：——古洋壳碎片的证据及意义

鞍子山蛇绿杂岩位于秦岭勉略带东段,它由蛇纹石化变质橄榄岩和ＭＯＲＢ型变质镁铁质岩组成。蛇纹石化变质橄榄岩主要是方辉橄榄岩和少量二辉橄榄岩,表了古洋幔的上部岩石;变质镁铁质岩为斜长角闪岩,其原岩是基性火成岩类,它多以亏损ＬＲＥＥ元素和具有很高的＾１４３Ｎｄ／＾１４４Ｎｄ值为特征,类似于现代洋壳中的洋中脊玄武岩（ＭＯＲＢ）,代表了古洋壳的残余部分。这表明鞍子山晕绿杂岩是勉略混杂岩带中又一个典型的蛇绿岩     

异剥钙榴岩及其岩石成因意义

异剥钙榴岩作为一种特殊的交代变质岩,绝大多数与超镁铁岩的蛇纹石化有关,是超镁铁岩蛇纹石化过程中所产生的富钙流体对与其伴生的相关岩石进行钙交代的结果。蛇纹石化的超镁铁岩或为蛇绿岩的端员组分,或为太古代绿岩带、阿拉斯加型和阿尔卑斯型等其它成因类型的超镁铁岩。它们多为纯橄榄岩、方辉橄榄岩和辉石岩等。异剥钙榴岩的形成主要取决于超镁铁岩的蛇纹石化作用和钙交代程度,而与超镁铁岩的成因类型、构造属性和时代归属没有多大的关系。那种将异剥钙榴岩片面地看成蛇绿岩的组成部分或者作为鉴别蛇绿岩辅助标志的观点需要改正。     

也谈铙钹寨超镁铁岩体的成因和构造类型的归属问题

铙钹寨岩体是一个遭受角闪岩相一麻粒岩相变质作用改造的超镁铁岩体。由于其变质程度的不均一性，一部分仍保留着原地幔橄榄岩的基本特征（如粗粒，具三联点结构和熔融残余结构的方辉橄榄岩和纯橄岩）。另一部分则表现明显的重结现象，原地幔橄榄岩类的基本特征已部分或全部消失，形成以出现不同数量的新生矿物组合为特征的变橄榄岩类（以细粒变纯橄岩和似斑状角闪方辉橄榄岩为代表）。恢复其原岩，该岩体由纯橄岩（极少）、方辉橄榄岩（为主）和二辉橄榄岩组成。但在纯橄岩一方辉橄榄岩组合与二辉橄榄岩组合两者之间在成分上显示一个明显的间断。前者以贫Al（Al2O3含量〈1％）、Ca（CaO含量〈1％）、Ti（TiO，含量〈0．05％）和富Mg（Mg^#=92—93）为特征。其主要矿物Ol和Opx均属富镁橄榄石（Fo92-93）和顽火辉石（En92～93）。后者则相对富Al（Al2O3含量由3.36％～3．75％）、Ca（CaO含量由2．07％-3．15％）、Ti（TiO2 0．1％～0．12％）和相对低镁（Mg^#=89—90）为特征。其主要造岩矿物Ol和Opx属相对低Mg的镁橄榄石（F090）和顽火辉石（En89～90）。副矿物尖晶石具有多期熔融的复杂成因，但其成分区及趋势显示蛇绿岩地幔橄榄岩所常见的双频分布（bimodal distribution）特征。综合研究表明该两套地幔岩原岩组合代表了不同亏损程度和不同构造环境下多期熔融的地幔残余。以方辉橄榄岩（和少量纯橄岩）为代表，并伴有豆荚状铬铁矿化及其特征的瘤状矿石的产出背景，标志其遭受较高的部分熔融程度，可能代表产于洋内俯冲带之上（Supra—Subduetion zone）亲弧环境的上地幔残余，带有SSZ型蛇绿岩的某些印记。二辉橄榄岩可能代表来自MOR环境下，弱亏损的上地幔残余岩片。故该岩体超镁铁岩不具有大陆地幔橄榄岩的成因性质。     

东海地区高压-超高压变质带中变质橄榄岩及其原岩和成因类型的判别——以PP1孔和PP3孔为例

本文在总结全球地幔橄榄岩岩石学和地球化学特征的基础上,首次提出了一个用于判别HP-UHP变质带中变质橄榄岩原岩及其成因类型的判别图解.该图主要由镁铁总量MgO+(%)和一个参数m+f/si比值构成.另用Al2O3和CaO分别与MgO+(%)制成两个辅助图解,以示方辉橄榄岩和二辉橄榄岩之间在Al2O3和CaO含量上的分界.通过原岩判别结果和研究表明,PP3孔和PP1孔两者在变质组合、原岩成因类型、地球化学和变质条件方面存在一系列的重大差异.分别代表来自两种极端的地球化学类型和两种不同大地构造环境的UHP变质体.PP3钻孔以Ol+Gt+Cpx+Opx+Sp为变质矿物共生组合的含石榴石纯橄岩,其原岩系来自地幔残余成因的方辉橄榄岩遭受UHP变质作用的产物,它以成分高度均一,富Mg(Mg'=92),极端亏损不相容元素REE(∑REE<1×10-6可称为超亏损型)为特征.在变质相中仍保留原岩的残余矿物铬尖晶石(Sp),其成分显示蛇绿岩地幔橄榄岩的成分趋势.并出现以Gt和Sp共存相为特征的变质相.据实验结果(klemme,2004)表明该共存相的稳定域的P-T条件Cr-Sp可达7Gpa,T1400℃,即形成于200km的地幔深度.综合研究显示该孔变质橄榄岩原岩(方辉橄榄岩)具有大洋岩石圈地幔残余成因的某些印记,而不是同深度原生地幔岩相转变的产物.PP1孔变质橄榄岩是由无水矿物相(Ol+Opx+Cpx+Gt)+含水矿物相(Phl±Chu)组成的石榴石橄榄岩杂岩,其原岩来自两种不同成因的超镁铁岩系列:一为具地幔成因的方辉橄榄岩-二辉橄榄岩系列(可能相当于地幔楔中的Al型橄榄岩),另一部分(少数)来自具岩浆成因的超镁铁岩系列(纯橄岩-异剥橄榄岩-辉石岩组合,可能相当于A2型橄榄岩).该套变质橄榄岩,以成分高度不均一,极端富集REE(∑REE平均>20×10-6可称为超富集型)和大离子亲石元素(K、Ba、Rb)为特征.这种异常现象并不反映其原岩原有的地球化学特征,它可能是由于在俯冲过程中受到陆壳物质的污染,或壳-幔相互作用所致.据该孔变质相中缺乏Sp相,而以Gt为标志的变质相的事实,推断其形成的压力条件应>7Gpa, 即形成的深度应大于200km.上述研究表明在苏鲁UHP变质带中,不仅有来自大陆地幔楔中的地幔残余的UHP变质体,而且首次提出有可能来自大陆俯冲前锋具大洋岩石圈地幔性质的(蛇绿岩型地幔残片)变质体存在,这对揭示该区UHP变质带的形成和演化过程提供了新的信息.     

造山带环境中的东疆型镁铁—超镁铁杂岩

Petrochemistry and mineral chemistry studies on metamorphic ultramafic rocks in Yanghou area, Northern Fujian, China

Petrochemical studies indicate that the Yanghou metamorphie ultramafic rocks are composed of metamorphosed harzburgite and ultramafic cumulate.Trace element geochemistry and mineral chemistry of the metamorphic harzburgite indicate that they are relicts of depleted mantle.Systematic petrochemical,mineral chemical and geochronological studies led to such a conclusion that the Yanghou metamorphic ultramafic rocks may be the components of Late Sinian-Early Paleozoic ophiolite in South China.     

Rare earth element geochemistry of Thetford Mines ophiolite complex,Northern Appalachians,Canada

The Thetford Mines complex is a complete ophiolite which is part of an ultramafic-mafic belt within Québec Appalachians. These allochtonous bodies were emplaced during the Early Ordovician. The Thetford Mines complex comprises a lower unit of metamorphic harzburgite (in which tabular, dyke-like, dunitic bodies occur) overlain successively by ultramafic cumulates, mafic cumulates, ophitic gabbros, diabase sills and dykes, and basaltic volcanic rocks. Field evidence, petrography and chemical data indicate that the tabular dunitic bodies formed when fractures in the metamorphic harzburgite (which constituted the floor of the magma chamber) filled with early cumulates (i.e., olivine±chromite). Representative rocks from all units were analyzed for major and rare earth elements (REE). Metamorphic harzburgite samples from Thetford Mines complex have U-shaped chondrite-normalized REE patterns. Pyroxenites and wehrlites of the cumulate sequence are all strongly light-REE depleted and have heavy REE ranging from 0.4 to 1.5 times chondrite. REE data from ultramafic and volcanic rocks of Thetford Mines complex and geochemical modelling indicate that the metamorphic harzburgite has the chemical characteristics of depleted upper mantle residues with U-shaped patterns, and that the ultramafic cumulates crystallized from magmas having different La/Yb ratios.     

Petrology,geochemistry and tectonic significance of serpentinized ultramafic rocks from the South Arm of Sulawesi,Indonesia

Serpentinized ultramafic rocks occur in two separate basement complexes in the South Arm of Sulawesi, the Bantimala and Barru Blocks. We present petrographic, mineral chemical and geochemical data for these rocks, and interpret them in terms of petrogenesis and tectonic setting. The rocks of both blocks show strong serpentinization of original anhydrous silicates. The Bantimala ultramafics consist mainly of peridotite (harzburgite and dunite) and clinopyroxenite, with lenses of podiform chromitite. Metamorphism is evidenced by the occurrence of amphibolite-facies tremolite schist. In contrast, the Barru ultramafics consist of harzburgite peridotite and podiform chromitite, which also show an amphibolite-facies overprint that in this case may be related to intrusion by a large dacite/granodiorite body. Whole-rock trace element analyses and spinel compositions show that the Barru harzburgite is depleted relative to primitive mantle, and has had some melt extracted. In contrast, the Bantimala dunite, harzburgite and clinopyroxenite are cumulates. Both are derived from a supra-subduction zone environment, and were obducted during the closure of small back-arc basins. If there has been no rotation of the blocks, then the Bantimala ultramafics were emplaced from an ENE direction, while the Barru ultramafics were emplaced from the WNW. The ultramafic suites from these two blocks are juxtaposed with metamorphic assemblages, which were later intruded by younger volcanics, particularly in the Barru Block.     

Metamorphism of an ophiolitic tectonic mélange, northern California Klamath Mountains, USA

ABSTRACT Mineral assemblages in pelitic, mafic, calcareous and ultramafic rocks within a metamorphosed tectonic mélange indicate that the Marble Mountain terrane and adjacent Western Hayfork subterrane (northern California) underwent regional low- to medium-pressure amphibolite facies metamorphism. Metamorphic conditions estimated by comparison of observed assemblages with experimentally-determined reaction boundaries and by geothermometry constrain metamorphic temperatures between about 500° and 570°C. The occurrence of andalusite in regionally metamorphosed pelites indicates pressures below about 370 MPa. Metabasite amphibole compositions also suggest low to intermediate metamorphic pressures. Metaserpentinites containing the upper amphibolite facies assemblage (olivine + enstatite + anthophyllite) are found locally within the study area and have been reported previously by other workers elsewhere in the Marble Mountain terrane. These assemblages may reflect higher temperatures of recrystallization than assemblages in surrounding rocks and may represent vestiges of an earlier high-temperature metamorphic event undergone by the ultramafic rocks prior to incorporation in the mélange. Although the age of the low- to intermediate-pressure metamorphism is poorly constrained, cross-cutting plutons indicate that metamorphism must be older than about 162 Ma. Therefore this regional metamorphic event, which probably marks the accretion of these terranes to the North American continental margin, is older than the currently accepted 151–147 Ma age of the Nevadan event in the Klamath Mountains. The inferred low to intermediate pressures of metamorphism and the lithologies of the protoliths suggest a near-arc tectonic setting and refute a subduction zone model for this event.     

鄂西黄陵背斜南部元古宙庙湾蛇绿岩的发现及其构造意义

对鄂西黄陵背斜南部宜昌太平溪、邓村一带崆岭岩群中的元古宙庙湾岩组强烈变形变质超镁铁—镁铁质岩的研究表明,镁铁质岩主要为似层状细粒斜长角闪岩,变辉长岩岩体、岩脉及辉绿岩岩脉,超镁铁质岩则主要为蛇纹石化纯橄榄岩、方辉橄榄岩,呈构造岩片、岩块分布于斜长角闪岩之中。细粒斜长角闪岩TiO2=1.14%～1.48%,稀土元素配分型式为略亏损—平坦型,无明显的Eu异常,(La/Yb)N=0.87～1.12,La/Nb、Ce/Zr、Zr/Nb、Zr/Y、Ti/Y平均值分别为1.04、0.15、18.78、2.53、290.51,Nb/Th平均为9.88,显示为大洋中脊构造环境形成的N-MORB型拉斑玄武岩;变辉长岩具典型的堆晶结构特征,稀土元素配分型式为平坦型,具明显的Eu正异常;蛇纹石化纯橄榄岩的稀土元素配分型式具中稀土元素略亏损的U形特征,显示为LREE略富集的地幔岩。上述特征表明,黄陵背斜南部崆岭岩群中的元古宙庙湾岩组实际上是一套混杂堆积的古大洋蛇绿岩残片。元古宙庙湾蛇绿岩的发现为华南扬子克拉通存在中元古代洋盆和哥伦比亚超大陆聚合、裂解构造事件提供了重要的证据。     

The megascopic and mesoscopic structure of La Cocha ultramafic body,Sierra Chica of Córdoba,Argentina

The serpentinized ultramafic body of La Cocha is located in the Sierra Chica of Córdoba (31° 36′ 40″ South and 64° 32′ 40″ West). The body is a spinel harzburgite composed of olivine, enstatite and spinel, almost completely hydrated to associations of serpentine minerals. The rock is dark green, foliated, rich in serpentinized olivine and grains or aggregates of enstatite, partially to totally altered to bastite, with spinel as inclusions and a general porphyritic appearance. The S₂ metamorphic foliation was determined by a compositional layering defined by the lengthening and concentration of irregular pyroxene layers that alternate with olivine layers. This foliation is affected by S₃, composed of serpentine, which is parallel or cut sharply with low angles to S₂. The main structure of La Cocha ultramafic body is a low cylindrical recumbent fold interpreted as an “a”-type domal structure which is part of a major sheath fold, currently cut off by erosion. La Cocha ultramafic body is interpreted as an obducted slice of oceanic mantle, probably part of a basal tectonite of an ophiolitic complex. This slice, after its emplacement, was metamorphosed and deformed together with the country rocks.     

P–T evolution of meta-peridotite in the Penjwin ophiolite, northeastern Iraq

The Penjwin meta-peridotite rock represents one of the five main metamorphosed ultramafic bodies in Kurdistan region, Northwest Zagros Thrust Zone. It underwent at least two successively low-retrograde metamorphic events with one progressive one which all modified the original mineralogy and texture of primary dunite and harzburgite. The primary upper mantle mineral assemblage olivine?+?orthopyroxene?+?chromian spinel is replaced by olivine?+?tremolite–actiolite?+?anthopylite?+?talc?+?ferichromite?+?Cr-chlorite assemblage of amphibolite facies. The further retrograde metamorphic amphibolite facies assemblage is replaced by lizardite–chrysotile?+?Cr-chlorite?+?syn-serpentinization Cr-magnetite of lower greenschist facies. Later at the main Zagros thrust fault, low greenschist facies underwent progressive metamorphism due to the local effect of shear stress as a result of the exhumation and obduction of Penjwin ophiolite suite over Merga Red bed series during Tertiary. Lizardite–chrysotile transformed to antigorite and producing antigorite?+?carbonate?+?syn-serpentinization Cr-magnetite?+?Cr-chlorite assemblage of upper greenschist facies. Chromian spinel is concentrically zoned as a result of multi-stages retrogressive metamorphic events, in which the Cr # (Cr/(Cr?+?Al)) increases from core to rim (0.5 to 1). Three zones can be identified from core to rim: The core is primary Al-rich and mantled by ferrichromite of amphibolite facies. The most outer zone of chromian spinel grains is represented by syn-serpentinization Cr-magnetite of greenschist facies.     

Petrogenesis of metamorphic rocks within a subduction-accretion terrane, Signy Island, South Orkney Islands

Abstract Whole-rock and mineral analyses of polydeformed mica-schist, quartzite, marble and amphibolite are presented from Signy Island, South Orkney Islands, part of the Scotia metamorphic complex. Whole-rock chemistry suggests that the amphibolites are the metamorphosed equivalent of enriched tholeiitic and alkali basalts of an oceanic intraplate basalt series. These, together with limestones and Mn-rich cherts of an oceanic island assemblage were tectonically mixed with trench or trench inner slope basin sediments in a subduction zone environment. Variation in mineral chemistry indicates an increase in temperature and decrease in pressure during metamorphism; pressures of 8 kbar and temperatures of approximately 545°C were reached during amphibolite facies metamorphism in the latter stages of deformation. These new data provide good evidence to support the previous interpretation of the Scotia metamorphic complex as a subduction complex.     

The mineralogy and chemistry of the podiform chromite deposits in the serpentinites of the Limassol Forest,Cyprus

Podiform chromite deposits are characteristic of the ultramafic complexes of the ophiolites. In the Limassol Forest Plutonic Complex, one of the two plutonic complexes of Troodos ophiolite, Cyprus, the deposits are located dominantly at the periphery of the serpentinite body either close to the contact between the serpentinized harzburgite (Bastite Serpentinite) and a highly cataclastic olivine-rich peridotite (Shattered Serpentinite) or at the base of the latter. The chrome ore is in the form of small pods, lenses, veins and disseminated schlieren. Detailed microscopic studies showed that the massive chromite is highly cataclastic and extensively altered to an Fe-rich chrome spinel, the ferritchromite. The chemistry of the parent chromite and the ferritchromite has been studied by electron microprobe analysis of 47 samples. Based on the stratigraphic position, mode of occurrence and chemistry of the chromite deposits it is concluded that they are similar to the exploitable deposits of Troodos Plutonic Complex at Mount Olympus and evolved through cumulative process from a magma of tholeiite character. Pervasive deformation — both metamorphic and tectonic — and serpentinization of the host rock resulted in the brecciation and mobilization of the chromite segregations.
