Peridotites from the Kamchatsky Mys: evidence of oceanic mantle melting near a hotspot

A suite of mantle peridotites sampled in the Kamchatsky Mys includes spinel lherzolite, clinopyroxene-bearing harzburgite, and harzburgite. Mineral chemistry of olivine, chromian spinel, and clinopyroxene show strongly correlated element patterns typical of peridotite formed by 8% to more than 22% partial melting. Clinopyroxene in the Kamchatka peridotites is compositionally different from that of both abyssal and suprasubduction varieties: Clinopyroxene in lherzolite is depleted in LREE relative to abyssal peridotite and that in harzburgite has very low LREE and Sr unlike the subduction-related counterpart. These composition features indicate that the rocks ultra-depleted in basaltic components originated in the vicinity of a hotspot, possibly, proto-Hawaiian plume, which provided high temperature and melting degree of the MORB source mantle at mid-ocean ridge.     

Rheological Properties of Mantle Peridotites at Yushigou in the North Qilian Mountains and Their Implicationsfor Plate Dynamics

This paper discusses in detail the deformation textures, glide system, petrofabrics and olivine dislocation microstructures of mantle peridotites at Yushigou in the North Qilian Mountains, northwestern China. The peridotites have undergone high-pressure, high-temperature and low-strain rate plastic flow deformation. According to the dynamic recrystallized-grain size of olivine and the average spacing between the dislocation walls as well as the chemical composition of enstatite, the authors calculated the rheological parameters of the ancient upper mantle in the study area as follows: temperatures 1025-1093℃; pressures 3043-4278 MPa; depths 95-132 km; deviatoric stress 28-32 MPa; strain rates 0.2×10-14-2.13×10-14s-1 and equivalent viscosities 0.45×1020-4.65×1020 Pa · s. These parameters suggest that the position where plastic flow took place was correspondent to the low-velocity zone beneath the oceanic lithosphere and that oceanization characterized by middle-velocity (1-3 cm/a) sea-floor spreadi     

西藏雅鲁藏布江缝合带东段泽当地幔橄榄岩特征及其意义

泽当岩体位于雅鲁藏布江缝合带东段,主要由地幔橄榄岩、辉长辉绿岩和基性火山岩等组成。地幔橄榄岩主要为方辉橄榄岩和二辉橄榄岩,有少量透镜状纯橄岩。地幔橄榄岩经历了强烈的塑性变形作用。地幔橄榄岩中橄榄石的Fo值为89.6~91.8,属镁橄榄石;斜方辉石为顽火辉石,En 87.8~90.3;单斜辉石En 44.1~50.0,主要为顽透辉石和透辉石。铬尖晶石的Cr#值(=100×Cr/(Cr+Al))为17.0~93.6,其中,二辉橄榄岩和方辉橄榄岩中的铬尖晶石为富铝型尖晶石,纯橄岩中的铬尖晶石Cr#最高,为富铬型尖晶石。地幔橄榄岩的部分熔融程度为17%~34%,表明泽当地幔橄榄岩可能经历了多阶段的过程。亏损的主量元素组成和低于原始地幔的稀土元素含量(0.15×10-6~0.61×10-6)指示泽当地幔橄榄岩为经历过部分熔融和熔体抽取的亏损残余地幔岩石。REE配分型式为中稀土亏损的"V"型或"U"型,原始地幔标准化元素比值(La/Sm)N为0.5~8.0,表明泽当地幔橄榄岩经历过交代作用。矿物化学与地球化学数据表明泽当地幔橄榄岩形成于MOR环境,后受到SSZ环境的改造。     

Structure and composition of mantle peridotites at the boundary with crustal complexes of ophiolites in the Syumkeu massif,Polar Urals

Intense viscous-ductile deformations with multiorder flow folds and thin banding have been established in lherzolite and harzburgite of the Syumkeu massif 1.0–1.5 km below the boundary with crustal complexes. Intense shear deformation of mantle restites is traced along the entire boundary zone. The mineral composition of lherzolite and harzburgite in this zone occupies a transitional position between peridotite restites and olivine websterite from the lower part of the banded dunite-wehrlite-pyroxenite-gabbro complex. This implies that the mantle rocks from the crust-mantle transition zone were substantially transformed under transpressional intense shear stress settings along with a high-temperature ductile flow of mantle restites interacting with the supplied melt at a depth of more than 10 km. This type of transition zones differs from those known elsewhere in the Urals and supplements our knowledge on modes of mantle restite juxtaposition with crustal plutonic rocks.     

Petrology of the Hili Manu lherzolite,East Timor

A spinel lherzolite body outcrops as a fault block on the north coast of East Timor. The most common rock‐type in this body is a clinopyroxene‐poor lherzolite, but there are smaller proportions of clinopyroxene‐rich lherzolite and harzburgite. The dominant mineral assemblage is olivine, orthopyroxene, clinopyroxene, spinel and calcic amphibole. Low‐temperature hydrous minerals are restricted in distribution.

The chemical composition of the peridotite is closely similar to mantle‐derived spinel lherzolite nodules and some alpine peridotites. The internal variation of the peridotite suggests variable depletion by some combination of partial melting and liquid contamination of the residua, in a CO₂‐rich system at 10–15 kb (1000–1500 MPa).

Three solid‐state events are indicated by geothermometry. The earliest event is recorded by coarse exsolution lamellae of orthopyroxene in clinopyroxene porphyro‐clasts. These grains formed at 1250°C. A later granoblastic texture equilibrated at 1100°C, and finally the rocks were mylonitised at 800–1000°C and 8–20 kb (800–2000 MPa).

The peridotite is probably a sample of the oceanic mantle trapped between the Java Trench and the Inner Banda Arc. Its emplacement on Timor is not related to obduction, but may be due to transcurrent faulting between the Asian and Australian plates.     

An experimental study of the kinetics of lherzolite reactive dissolution with applications to melt channel formation

The kinetics of lherzolite dissolution in an alkali basalt and a basaltic andesite was examined experimentally at 1,300°C and 1 GPa using the dissolution couple method. Dissolution of lherzolite in basaltic liquids produces either the melt-bearing dunite–harzburgite–lherzolite (DHL) sequence or the melt-bearing harzburgite–lherzolite sequence depending on whether the reacting melt is or close to olivine saturation (alkali basalt) or olivine + orthopyroxene saturation (basaltic andesite). The dunite in the DHL sequence is pyroxene-free and the harzburgites in both sequences are clinopyroxene-free. The melt fraction and olivine grain size in the dunite are larger than those in the harzburgite. The olivine grain size in the dunite and harzburgite in the DHL sequence also increases as a function experimental run time. Across the sharp dunite–harzburgite and harzburgite–lherzolite interfaces, systematic compositional variations are observed in the reacting melt, interstitial melt, olivine, and to a lesser extent, pyroxenes as functions of distance and time. The systematic variations in lithology, grain size, mineral chemistry, and melt compositions are broadly similar to those observed in the mantle sections of ophiolites. The processes of lherzolite dissolution in basaltic liquids involve dissolution, precipitation, reprecipitation, and diffusive transport in the interstitial melts and surrounding minerals. Preferential dissolution of olivine and clinopyroxene and precipitation of orthopyroxene in the basaltic andesite produces the melt-bearing harzburgite–lherzolite sequence. Preferential dissolution of clinopyroxene and orthopyroxene and precipitation of olivine results in the melt-bearing DHL sequence. Preferential mineral dissolution can also affect the composition of the through-going melt in a dunite channel or harzburgite matrix. Systematic variations in melt fraction and mineral grain size in the peridotite sequences are likely to play an important role in the development of channelized or diffuse porous melt flow in the mantle.An erratum to this article can be found at
