燕山造山带中段中晚侏罗世中酸性火山岩的成因及其意义

燕山造山带中段(冀北下板城)中晚侏罗世髫髻山组火山岩主要由粗安岩和粗面岩组成。火山岩具有高的SiO_2(>55％)、Al_2O_3(15.70％～17.55％)、Na_2O(3.79％～5.42％)、Na_2O K_2O(5.99％～9.38％)、CaO(2.31％～6.48％)和低的MgO(≤4.01％,Mg~#≤0.50),高Sr(428～816μg/g)及Na_2O/K_20比值(一般1.11～1.88),轻稀土元素富集,Sr/Y和Rb/Sr比值低。其中,粗安岩相对亏损重稀土元素(Yb_N<8.5,Y<19μg/g),Y/Yb(12.62～15.06)和(Ho/Yb)_N(1.23～1.50)比值较高,Eu负异常不明显(Eu/Eu~*=0.90～0.95),具有埃达克岩地球化学特征。我们认为髫髻山组粗安岩起源于大陆下地壳玄武质岩石的部分熔融,粗面岩为粗安岩浆结晶分异的产物。     

西天山艾肯达坂组火山岩系的元素地球化学特征和构造环境

西天山二叠纪艾肯达坂组红色陆相火山岩建造不整合在下石炭统大哈拉军山组之上,未经变形和变质。主要岩石类型有粗面玄武岩、玄武粗安岩、粗安岩、粗面岩和粗面英安岩,w(SiO2)介于41.69%～65.99%,低于上陆壳平均成分(66%)。w(Na2O+K2O)随SiO2增加而增加;SI随SiO2增高而变小;w(TiO2)一般小于1.3%;w(Al2O3)较高(12.82%～18.37%),由此显示艾肯达坂组属于典型的橄榄安粗岩系。其中,玄武岩和玄武粗安岩的w(SiO2)低于54.4%(下陆壳平均值),表明它们应源于地幔,而非陆壳;相反,w(SiO2)>54.4%的粗安岩、粗面岩和粗面英安岩可能来自陆壳或经历了壳内分异作用。玄武岩类和玄武粗安岩类ΣREE,LREE,Zr,Hf,Nb,Ta,Ba,Sr,Pb,Y等的质量分数和LaN/YbN均高于世界同类岩石平均值,而Cr,Co,Ni等的质量分数低于同类岩石,指示源区地幔富集大离子亲石元素(LILE)和不相容元素;玄武岩类和玄武粗安岩类的Eu/Eu*<0.94,Sr由亏损变化到正异常,显示地幔源区成分不均一,此不均一性可能由上壳物质返回地幔所致。粗面岩和粗面英安岩Eu/Eu*平均0.59,低于上陆壳平均值0.65;Sr亏损显著;但ΣEEE,LREE,LREE/HREE,LaN/YbN,Ce/Ce*反而低于粗安岩;Sm/Nd平均值为0.25,与下陆壳(Sm/Nd=0.25)相一致;La,Ce,Nd,Sm等相对于Y和Yb富集;Ba正异常,Nb,Ta,Hf等     

冀北郭家屯地区中生代火山岩年代学和地球化学特征研究

单颗粒锆石 U- Pb测年结果表明,冀北郭家屯地区中生代火山活动有两个时代:中-晚侏罗世(约 143～ 164 Ma)和早白垩世 (约 126 Ma).中-晚侏罗世火山岩以流纹岩和粗面质流纹岩为主,夹石英粗面岩,下部有少量安山岩;早白垩世火山岩以粗安岩和粗面岩为主,夹少量玄武质粗安岩和流纹质粗面岩.微量元素数据显示粗面质火山岩、正长斑岩具高 Al2O3(≥ 15% )、 Na2O/K2O > 1、高 Sr(≥ 400 μ g/g)、高 Sr/Y(≥ 20～ 40)和 La/Yb≥ 10;低的 MgO ( < 3% )、 Y(≤ 18 μ g/g)和 Yb(≤ 1.9 μ g/g);Mg#高( 38.47～ 57.78,平均 51.18);Eu异常不明显等特征,与 Adakite岩的地球化学特征有某些相似性.而流纹质火山岩具有 SiO2、 K2O、 Y、 Yb含量相对较高;Al2O3、 Sr、 Ba含量相对较低;轻稀土元素富集、重稀土元素平坦、 Eu负异常明显等地球化学特征.两类岩石在时空上密切共生,具有一定的演化关系.地球化学总体特征显示本区火山岩具有弧岩浆作用的特征,如岩石系列高钾钙碱性属性、高场强元素( HFSE)和大离子亲石性元素 (LILE)解偶,微量元素的俯冲带特征(与 Adakite岩相似)等.研究表明本区中-晚侏罗世和早白垩世火山岩总体形成在地壳加厚、岩石圈拆沉、底侵作用发育的构造背景下,地幔脱气形成的 CO2- H2O流体在岩浆形成过程中起了很重要的作用.     

郯庐断裂带莒县地区早白垩世中酸性火山岩成因及其地质意义

莒县早白垩世火山岩沿郯庐断裂带分布,由粗安岩、粗面岩和流纹岩组成,属高钾钙碱性-钾玄岩系列.岩石富集Rb、K、Ba等大离子亲石元素和轻稀土元素,相对亏损Nb、Ta、Ti等高场强元素和重稀土元素,Sr-Nd同位素组成((87Sr/86Sr)t=0.7082～0.7095,ENd(t)=-16.4～-19.8)与区内基性岩的相类似,而Pb同位素组成((206pb/204Pb)t=16.523～17.038,(207pb/204Pb)t=15.414～15.468,(208pb/204Pb)t=37.058～37.427)类似于EM1型富集地幔.(87Sr/86Sr)t和εNd(t)与SiO2没有明显的相关性,且较高的Th/U、Ce/Pb值和较低的Nb/La、Nb/U值均暗示岩浆在上升过程中未遭受明显的地壳混染.粗安岩具有高的Cr、Ni、MgO含量及Mg#值和古老Nd同位素模式年龄,暗示其起源于富集的岩石圈地幔.粗面岩与粗安岩的主要氧化物、微量元素与SiO2呈明显的相关性,这暗示可能为同源岩浆结晶分异而来.研究表明,莒县地区中酸性火山岩形成于岩石圈伸展减薄背景下,由曾遭受俯冲扬子陆壳熔体改造的华北岩石圈地幔部分熔融形成的岩浆分离结晶作用而成.郯庐断裂带的伸展活动控制着火山岩的分布,为岩浆的形成和运移提供了有利的场所,在华北克拉通破坏中可能起到了重要的作用.

大兴安岭中南段中生代中基性火山岩岩石学地球化学研究

大兴安岭中南段中生代火山岩的成因和形成时的构造背景涉及南蒙古-兴蒙造山带的后期构造演化及区内众多的铜、银多金属矿床的形成,因而对其成因的研究具有重要意义。在野外工作基础上,对大兴安岭中南段中生代中基性火山岩进行了较为系统的岩石学和元素地球化学研究。结果表明,火山岩的岩石类型为玄武粗安岩、粗面安山岩、英安岩及粗面岩,属钙碱性岩石系列;玄武粗安岩、粗面安山岩、英安岩及粗面岩的常量元素以富集SiO2,Na2O,K2O和亏损Fe2O3,FeO,MgO,CaO等为特征,微量元素以富集亲石元素和亏损铁族元素及Nb,Ta为特征;火山岩的稀土元素分配模式为轻稀土富集型;(^87Sr／^86Sr)．为0．7045～0．7077,且主要集中在0．7045～0．7055的区间内,εNd(t)多数为正值。火山岩是地幔物质部分熔融的产物,形成于张性构造环境,它们是天山一兴安造山带后造山期软流圈或地幔柱上涌所引起的岩石圈伸展作用、内蒙古-吉黑印支造山带造山期后的伸展作用和蒙古-鄂霍茨克残余洋“剪刀式”闭合所形成的拉张作用等综合效应的响应事件。

西秦岭天水地区李子园群变质火山岩的地球化学特征及其地质意义

西秦岭天水地区的早古生代李子园群为一套中浅变质的沉积-火山岩系。沉积岩系主要由变质碎屑岩和碳酸盐岩组成,火山岩系主要由变玄武岩、变玄武安山岩和变安山岩组成,包括岛弧型火山岩和玻安岩。岛弧型火山岩SiO2含量介于48.79%~54.64%之间,TiO2含量较低(0.29%~0.88%);稀土元素分布型式呈LREE略富集型,富集大离子亲石元素(LILE)Cs、Sr、Th、U,相对亏损Rb、K和高场强元素(HFSE)Nb、P、Sm、Ti和Y,具Nb负异常,类似于低钾岛弧拉斑玄武岩和钙碱性玄武岩特征。玻安岩具有中等的SiO2含量(53.59%~59.28%),低的TiO2含量(0.24%~0.48%);相对中等的MgO含量(4.90%~4.96%)、较低的CaO/Al2O3比值(0.39~0.54)和较高的Mg#值(0.54~0.58)、Al2O3/TiO2比值(33.88~64.29);同时具有较低的Ti/Zr比值(15~83)、V/Zr比值(2.18~8.35)和较高的Zr/Y比值(3.82~12.08),相对富集大离子亲石元素(LILE),特别是Rb、Ba、Th,而亏损高场强元素(HFSE),如Nb、Ta、P、Ti、Y、Yb,显示为亏损MREE的U型稀土元素分布型式。岛弧型火山岩和玻安岩的存在表明,李子园群及其中的中基性火山岩系形成于俯冲带之上的岛弧或弧前环境。     

郯庐断裂山东段(胶东)中生代中酸性火山岩的锆石U-Pb年代学及地球化学特征

对胶东青山群中酸性火山岩进行了LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb同位素年代学研究。结果表明,3个粗面岩-粗面英安岩和1个流纹岩的年龄分别为119.4±0.9 Ma、118.2±1.0 Ma、120.2±0.9 Ma和120.0±0.8 Ma,都形成于早白垩世120~118 Ma之间。研究表明郯庐断裂带山东段及其两侧中生代青山群火山岩的年龄与苏皖段断裂带内火山岩的年龄相似,明显小于苏皖段断裂带附近火山岩盆地的火山岩年龄。其结果表明在中国东部岩石圈减薄的大背景下,受郯庐断裂控制的岩浆喷发事件持续的时间可能更长。胶东青山群中酸性火山岩表现出富钾、富碱、贫镁、贫钛和低Ni、Cr的地球化学特征,轻稀土元素富集,重稀土元素亏损。按地球化学组成可进一步分为粗面岩-粗面英安岩和流纹岩两类,前者富集大离子亲石元素Rb、Ba、K,亏损高场强元素Nb、Ta、Ti和P;而后者则强烈亏损Ba、Sr等大离子亲石元素和Ti、P等高场强元素。粗面岩-粗面英安岩相对流纹岩具有高的Sr和Ba含量以及La/Nb、Ba/Nb比值,而具有低的Rb/Ba比值和Eu负异常,说明它们来源于不同的岩浆源区。推测粗面岩-粗面英安岩可能是下地壳(俯冲扬子下地壳或者古老华北下地壳)部分熔融和富集地幔部分熔融混合的产物;流纹岩是由于区域拉张环境和高热异常背景下,下地壳发生深熔产生的岩浆喷出地表形成的,岩浆在上升过程中发生有分离结晶(大量斜长石的分离结晶)过程。     

Cenozoic Adakite-type Volcanic Rocks in Qiangtang, Tibet and Its Significance

Volcanic rocks in the study area, including dacite, trachyandesite and mugearite, belong to the intermediate-acid, high-K calc-alkaline series, and possess the characteristics of adakite. The geochemistry of the rocks shows that the rocks are characterized by SiO2>59%, enrichment in A12O3(15.09-15.64%) and Na2O (>3.6%), high Sr (649-885 μg/g) and Sc, low Y contents (<17 μg/g), depletion in HREE (Yb<1.22 μg/g), (La/Yb)N>25, Sr/Y>40, MgO<3% (Mg<0.35), weak Eu anomaly (Eu/Eu=0.84-0.94), and lack of the high field strength elements (HFSE) (Nb, Ta, Ti, etc.). The Nd and Sr isotope data (87Sr/86Sr=0.7062-0.7079, 143Nd/144Nd=0.51166-0.51253, εNd= -18.61-0.02), show that the magma resulted from partial melting (10%-40%) of newly underplated basaltic lower crust under high pressure (1-4 GPa), and the petrogenesis is obviously affected by the crust's assimilation and fractional crystallization (AFC). This research will give an insight into the uplift mechanism of the Tibetan plateau.     

Geochemistry and petrogenesis of Early Carboniferous volcanic rocks in East Junggar,North Xinjiang: Implications for post-collisional magmatism and geodynamic process

Early Carboniferous volcanic rocks in the Batamayineishan Formation overlie unconformably the molasse deposits and the ophiolitic mélanges and are restricted in narrow zones along both sides of the Kalamaili orogenic belt in North Xinjiang, southern Central Asian Orogenic Belt. These rocks demonstrate the post-collisional setting in East Junggar commenced in Tournaisian and also mark an important transitional period from the final amalgamation to late Paleozoic voluminous juvenile granitoids in East Junggar. The volcanic rocks are composed of basalt, basaltic andesite, andesite, trachyte and rhyolite. Both mafic and felsic rocks are characterized by enrichments in large ion lithophile elements, light rare earth elements and depletion in Nb and Ta, low initial ⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr and high, positive ɛ_Nd(t). Three groups of mafic rocks have been identified: Shoshonitic group 1 has the highest MgO, CaO, Ni and Cr and the lowest Na₂O, Al₂O₃, La, Ba, La/Yb and Ba/Th with primary magma features; group 2 calc-alkaline and high-K calc-alkaline mafic rocks have the lowest K₂O, P₂O₅, Th and Th/Nb, and the highest TiO₂; and group 3 (shoshonitic to potassic alkaline) has the highest K₂O, P₂O₅, La, Ba, La/Yb and Th/Nb, and the lowest TiO₂. The A-type-like felsic rocks were derived from the differentiation of the mafic magma. Geological and geochemical evidences indicate that the Batamayineishan Formation was generated from the process of slab breakoff (detachment). Group 1 samples are produced by decompressional melting of the upwelling asthenosphere mainly composed of spinel and garnet (50:50) lherzolite which has been enriched by overlying metasomatized lithosphere during ascent. Group 2 is derived from 5–10% partial melting of shallower spinel-bearing lithospheric mantle induced by the hot rising asthenosphere, where the contribution of slab-derived fluid is predominant. Low partial melting (3–5%) of the mantle wedge and/or thickened lithospheric mantle enriched by slab-derived components generates group 3. Slab breakoff as an important geodynamic process accounts for the post-collisional magmatism between 343.5 Ma–330 Ma, providing a model for post-collisional crust–mantle interaction in the CAOB.     

Potash–rich Magmatism and Associated Gold-Copper Mineralization in the Yishu Deep Fault Zone and Its Vicinity, Eastern China

Abstract: The Mesozoic potash‐rich volcanic rocks which hosted several gold or gold (copper) deposits are widely distributed around the Yishu deep fault zone, eastern China. Lithologically, these rocks include basaltic trachyandesite, trachyandesite, latite and trachyte, of which the trachyandesite and latite are the predominant rock types. Whole‐rock Rb‐Sr isochron ages and ⁴⁰Ar‐³⁹Ar plateau dates of them are 108.2 ? 119.6 Ma and 114.7 ? 124.3 Ma, respectively. Chemically, they are characterized by high and variable Al₂O₃ contents, high K₂O+Na₂O values, and high K₂O/Na₂O and Fe₂O₃/FeO ratios. The rocks also have enriched LILE and LREE concentrations, low HFSE abundance, and display extraordinary Sr‐Nd isotope signatures (I_Sr = 0.7084 ? 0.7125, ε_Nd(t) = ‐9.43 ? ?18.07). Integrated geological and geochemical data suggest that they were formed in a continental‐arc setting and most likely originated from the partial melting of enriched mantle which was induced by source contamination of subducted continental crustal materials. Gold (copper) deposits in this district are closely related to Mesozoic volcanic‐subvolcanic magmatism. They are frequently located either at the margin or adjacent to the volcanic basins. Most of them are spatially associated with maar‐diatreme systems and/or flow‐dome complexes. The formations of two gold (copper) deposits, the Qibaoshan breccia pipe‐porphyry type Au‐Cu deposit and the Guilaizhuang tellurium‐gold type epithermal Au deposit, have been proved to be in close relation with potash‐rich magmatism. The genetic relations between potash‐rich magmatism and Cu‐Au mineralization is still quite unclear. Detailed review of the previous works demonstrates that the high contents of volatiles (such as H₂O, CO₂, S, F and Cl, especially F and Cl) and the high oxidation state of the potash‐rich magmas may be the main favorable factors for the formation of the Cu‐Au deposits.     

Relationship between chemical composition and magnetic susceptibility in the alkaline volcanics from the Isparta area,SW Turkey

Potassium-rich volcanic rocks in the Isparta area (SW Turkey) consist mainly of older (Pliocene) volcanic rock suites (e.g., lamprophyre, basaltic trachyandesite, trachyandesite, trachyte) and younger (Quaternary) caldera forming lava dome/flows (e.g., tephriphonolite, trachyte) and pyroclastics (ash/pumice fall deposits and ignimbritic flows). The magnetic susceptibility (K) was performed for both groups. The magnetic susceptibility value of the less evolved rocks characterized by SiO₂ < 57 wt% (e.g., basaltic trachyandesite, tephriphonolite, lamprophyric rocks) and having mostly mafic phenocrysts such as pyroxene, amphibole, and biotite-phlogopite is over 10 (10⁻³ [SI]). Fine to medium-grained and subhedral to anhedral opaque minerals are scattered especially in the matrix phase of the less evolved volcanic rocks. However, the K value of the more evolved rocks (e.g., trachyte and trachyandesites) with SiO₂ over 57 wt% vary between 0.1 and 28, but most of them below 10. SI values are negatively correlated with SiO₂, Na₂O, but positively correlated with Fe₂O₃, CaO, MnO, P₂O₅ and MgO contents, suggesting inverse variation of SI with fractionation of potassic magma. That is to say that less evolved volcanic rocks have relatively higher magnetic susceptibility values in the volcanic suite. Fine to medium-grained and subhedral to anhedral Fe-Ti oxides are scattered mainly in the matrix phase of the less evolved volcanics, presumably cause the pronounced relatively higher magnetic susceptibility.     

柴北缘超高压地体折返过程中地壳深熔的岩石学研究

宏观、微观岩石学、地球化学和年代学研究表明,柴北缘锡铁山和绿梁山单元富含斜长石的浅色体和富含钾长石的浅色体是超高压地体折返过程中榴辉岩和片麻岩部分熔融的产物。阴极发光图像显示富含斜长石的浅色体中锆石具有明显的核-边双层结构,锆石核部无明显分带特征,并呈现出重稀土平坦和无Eu异常的稀土配分模式,～450Ma的年龄结果与区域上榴辉岩峰期变质时代一致;发光较弱的锆石边部具不明显的环带结构和较低的Th/U比值,～426Ma年龄结果代表了熔体的结晶时代。富含钾长石的浅色体中的锆石U-Pb定年结果记录的～910Ma、～450Ma和～426Ma三组年龄分别代表了片麻岩原岩结晶时代、高压-超高压变质作用时代和熔体结晶时代。富含斜长石的浅色体具有高SiO_2、Al_2O_3、CaO、Na_2O、Sr和LREE,而低MgO、FeO~T、K_2O、Y、Yb和HREE的英云闪长岩-奥长花岗岩的地球化学特征;而富含钾长石的浅色体具有高的SiO_2、Al_2O_3和K_2O+Na_2O,而较低的CaO、MgO、REE的花岗岩地球化学特征。黝帘石和少量的多硅白云母的脱水分解是触发超高压榴辉岩发生部分熔融形成富含斜长石的浅色体的主要机制;而多硅白云母的脱水分解则是触发超高压片麻岩部分熔融形成富含钾长石浅色体的主要机制。这些浅色体显著的促进了柴北缘超高压地体的快速折返,并对大陆俯冲隧道中的元素迁移和壳-幔作用具有重要的影响。     

Early‐Cretaceous Syenites and Granites in the Northeastern Tengchong Block,SW China: Petrogenesis and Tectonic Implications

Whole-rock major and trace element and Sr-Nd isotopic data, together with zircon LA ICPMS in-situ U-Pb and Hf isotopic data of the syenites and granites in the Tengchong Block are reported in order to understand their petrogenesis and tectonic implications. Zircon U-Pb data gives the emplacement ages of ca. 115.3±0.9 Ma for syenites and 115.7±0.8 Ma for granites, respectively. The syenites are characterized by low SiO_2 content(62.01–63.03 wt%) and notably high Na_2O content(7.04–7.24 wt%) and Na_2O/K_2O ratios(2.02–2.10), low MgO, Fe_2O_3 T and TiO_2, enrichment of LILEs(large-ion lithophile element) such as Rb, Th, U, K, and Pb) and obvious depletion HFSE(high field strength element; e.g. Nb, Ta, P, and Ti) with clearly negative Eu anomalies(d Eu=0.53–0.56). They also display significant negative whole-rock εNd(t) values of-6.8 and zircon εHf(t) values(-9.11 to-0.27, but one is +5.30) and high initial ~(87) Sr/~(86) Sr=0.713013. Based on the data obtained in this study, we suggest that the ca. 115.3 Ma syenites were possibly derived from a sodium-rich continental crustal source, and the fractionation of some ferro-magnesian mineral and plagioclase might occur during the evolution of magma. The granites have high SiO_2 content(71.35–74.47 wt%), metaluminous to peraluminous, low Rb/Ba, Rb/Sr, and Al_2O_3/(MgO+FeOT+TiO_2) ratios and moderate(Al_2O_3+MgO+FeOT+TiO_2) content. They show low initial ~(87) Sr/~(86) Sr(0.703408 to 0.704241) and εNd(t) values(-3.8 to-3.5), plotted into the evolutionary trend between basalts and lower crust. Hence, we suggest that the granites were derived from the melting of mixing sources in the ancient continental crust involving some metabasaltic materials and predominated metasedimentary greywackes. Together with data in the literatures, we infer that the Early Cretaceous magmatism in the Tengchong block was dominated by magmas generated by the partial melting of ancient crustal material, which represent the products that associated to the closure of Bangong-Nujiang Meso-Tethys.     

安徽滁州地区闪长质岩锆石U-Pb年龄与地球化学:岩石成因和动力学意义

用LA-ICP-MS测得安徽滁州2个闪长玢岩样品中锆石~(206)Pb/~(238)U年龄为126.19±0.44Ma和126.4±0.7Ma,结合前人研究,得出滁州地区岩体的侵位时代应为120~130Ma之间,为早白垩世。岩石地球化学研究显示,Si O_2含量变化范围为56.75%~60.90%,具有高Al_2O_3(14.82%~15.77%)、Mg O(4%)、Sr(750×10~(-6))、Sr/Y(62~110)、La/Yb(20~36),低Y、Yb的特征,同时富集轻稀土元素和大离子亲石元素,亏损高场强元素,Eu异常不明显,属于典型的埃达克质岩。Mg~#值为39~45,K_2O/Na_2O值为0.57~0.96,平均值为0.75,明显低于大别造山带加厚下地壳埃达克岩,Ce/Pb值较低,大多集中在3~5之间,类似于陆壳而明显低于洋壳。研究认为,安徽滁州地区埃达克质岩由拆沉下地壳部分熔融形成,埃达克质岩浆在上升过程中与地幔橄榄岩发生反应,导致熔体Mg O、Cr、Ni等含量增加。早白垩世中国东部地壳伸展减薄导致下地壳拆沉,地幔物质的参与带来铜、金等成矿物质,埃达克质岩可作为该地区重要的找矿标志。

Three types of clinopyroxene megacrysts have been collected from Cenozoic basaltic rocks from Hainan Island and the Leizhou Peninsula in southern China. These megacrysts are dark green, black, and pale green in color, and are classified as Al-augite, Al-rich Fe-Na salite, and endiopside, respectively. Although they have different geochemical compositions, they all exhibit convex-upward, MREE-enriched patterns.

The Al-augite megacrysts contain 8.45 to 9.01% Al₂O₃, 1.26 to 1.59% TiO₂, 1.60 to 1.88% Na₂O; have Mg# values of 69.5 to 75.4; and possess ΣREE contents of 24.7 to 26.9 ppm. Their LREE contents are enriched relative to the HREE (La/Yb_n = 3.05 to 4.09). The Al-rich Fe-Na salite megacrysts have higher FeOT (10.4 to 11.4%) and Na₂O (2.07 to 2.78%) contents, and lower Mg' values (54.9 to 59.9), than do the Al-augite megacrysts. They contain high ΣREE contents (29.4 to 41.9 ppm) and have pronounced LREE/HREE enrichment (La/Yb_n = 3.86 to 20.6). Their Al₂O₃ contents (10.1 to 12.2%) are much higher than those of the Al-augite megacrysts (8.45 to 9.01%). One Al-rich Fe-Na salite megacryst has ₈₇Sr/₈₆Sr of 0.702913 ± 25 and ₁₄₃Nd/¹⁴⁴Nd of 0.512939 ± 20. The endiopside megacrysts possess high En and low Fs contents (Mg# values up to 89.3), and are characterized by high Cr₂O₃ (0.35 to 0.61%) and low Al₂O₃ (6.38 to 6.98%), TiO₂ (0.30 to 0.48%), and ΣREE (7.71 ppm) contents. They have similar values of normalized LREE and HREE (La/Yb_n = 1.09). One endiopside megacryst has ⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr of 0.703946 + 40 and ¹⁴³Nd/¹⁴⁴Nd of 0.512816 ± 18.

The Al-rich Fe-Na salite megacrysts in this study can be distinguished compositionally from Fe-Na salite megacrysts of previous studies. On the basis of the present study, these megacrysts are considered representative of a distinctive type of megacryst that may have a unique origin. Prior to this, endiopside megacrysts have not been described from alkaline basalts. A total of four types of clinopyroxene megacrysts now can be described from Cenozoic basaltic rocks worldwide—i.e. Al-augite, Fe-Na salite, Al-rich Fe-Na salite, and endiopside.     

Geology and geochemistry of archaean felsic metavolcanic rocks of the Eastern Part of the Kolar greenstone belt, Dharwar craton, India: Implications for their petrogenesis and geodynamic setting

In the Kolar greenstone belt of the Dharwar craton, felsic metavolcanics are encountered prominently in its eastern region around Surapalli and Marikoppa. These felsic volcanic rocks are essentially homogeneous and their bulk mineralogy is almost the same. They consist of phenocrysts of quartz and feldspar, set in a fine-grained quartzo-feldspathic groundmass. They are calc-alkaline rhyolite in composition, and are characterized by high SiO₂ (av. 75.74 wt.%), moderate Al₂O₃ (av. 11.84 wt.%), Na₂O (av. 3.55 wt.%), K2O (av. 3.26 wt%) contents and low Mg# (av. 6.07), Cr (av. 8 ppm), Ni (av. 8 ppm), Sr (av. 331 ppm.), Y (av. 7 ppm), Yb (av. 0.87 ppm) and Nb/Ta (av. 6.40) values, suggesting Tonalite-Trondhjemite-Granodiorite (TTG) affinity for these felsic volcanics. They are strongly fractionated [(La/Yb)_N? = 14.41–48.70] with strong LREE enrichment [(La/Sm)_N = 2.50-3.59] and strong HREE depletion [(Gd/Yb)_N = 1.34–2.77] with positive Eu anomaly. The regional geological set-up, petrographic and geochemical characteristics suggest that these felsic volcanics probably were derived by partial melting of a subducting basalt slab at shallow depth without much involvement of mantle wedge in an island arc geodynamic setting.     

Mediterranean Tertiary lamproites derived from multiple source components in postcollisional geodynamics

In the Mediterranean area, lamproitic provinces in Spain, Italy, Serbia and Macedonia have uniform geological, geochemical and petrographic characteristics. Mediterranean lamproites are SiO₂-rich lamproites, characterized by relatively low CaO, Al₂O₃ and Na₂O, and high K₂O/Al₂O₃ and Mg-number. They are enriched in LILE relative to HFSE and in Pb, and show depletion in Ti, Nb and Ta. Mediterranean lamproites show huge regional variation of Sr, Nd and ²⁰⁷Pb/²⁰⁴Pb isotopic values, with ⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr range of 0.707-0.722, εNd range from −13 to −3, and ²⁰⁷Pb/²⁰⁴Pb range of 15.62-15.79.Lamproitic rocks are derived from melts with three components involved in their origin, characterized by contrasting geochemical features which appear in ²⁰⁶Pb/²⁰⁴Pb, ⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr and ¹⁴³Nd/¹⁴⁴Nd space: (i) a mantle source contaminated by crustal material, giving rise to crust-like trace element patterns and radiogenic isotope systematics, (ii) an extremely depleted mantle characterized by very low whole-rock CaO and Al₂O₃, high-Fo olivine and Cr-rich spinel, which isotopically resembles European peridotitic massifs and lithospheric mantle; (iii) a component originating from the convecting mantle, characterized by unradiogenic ⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr and radiogenic ¹⁴³Nd/¹⁴⁴Nd and ²⁰⁶Pb/²⁰⁴Pb. These components demand multistage preconditioning of the lamproite-mantle source, involving an episode of extreme depletion, followed by involvement of terrigenous sediments, and finally interaction with melts originating from the convecting mantle, some of which are probably carbonatitic.We use our data on Mediterranean lamproites to characterize the mantle composition under the whole Alpine-Himalaya belt. Lamproites are an integral part of postcollisional volcanism, and are the most extreme melting products from a mantle which is ubiquitously crustally metasomatized. Enriched isotope signatures in Himalayan volcanics can also be explained by the involvement of subducted sediments instead of by proterozoic mantle lithosphere.
