南马里亚纳海槽岩石学特征

南马里亚纳海槽岩性比较复杂：有玄武岩，根据准矿物组合，进一步划分为碱性玄武岩，橄榄拉斑玄武岩和石英拉斑玄武岩；火山碎屑岩，包括凝灰岩和角砾凝灰岩，以及方辉橄榄岩，大部分玄武岩样品是距今五百万年以后形成的，个别岩石样品的形成年龄为八百万年左右，不同类型的玄武岩是含Ｈ２Ｏ的地幔岩块在底辟上升过程中，避部熔融，分离的产物；火山碎屑岩是火山喷发的火山灰，火山被水化学分解的物质胶结而成；方辉橄榄岩是地幔岩浆     

麦哲伦海山区MA、MC、MD、ME、MF海山结壳基岩的岩石学

麦哲伦海山区MA、MC、MD、ME、MF海山的结壳基岩类型主要有玄武岩、火山碎屑岩，其次为灰岩和磷块岩。玄武岩为蚀变玄武岩、橄榄玄武岩等，造岩矿物斜长石的成份多为拉长石和中长石，辉石多为普通辉石，橄榄石多已伊西石化。玄武岩的硅酸盐全分析表明，其P2O5含量普遍偏高，超出了玄武岩正常值范围；玄武岩的稀土分配模式与洋岛碱性玄武岩类型基本相似，但出现一定程度的Ce负异常，这是由于玄武岩中混有磷酸盐矿矿物的结果，经过成分校正后，化学成分分类上属碱性系列的碱性玄武岩。火山碎屑主要为玄武质火山碎屑岩，其中玄武质碎屑的矿成分及结构特征与玄武岩相似，玄武质火山碎屑岩的稀土分配模式与玄武岩的稀土分布模式基本相似，推测其与玄武岩为同一期火山喷发的产物。灰岩包括生物屑微晶灰岩、微晶生物屑灰岩等，多数灰岩具有不均匀的磷酸盐化现象，成为磷块岩。另一种类型的磷块岩，是由磷酸盐矿物交火山碎屑岩形成。磷块岩的稀土元素特征表现为稀土总量较高，Ce呈明显负异常。灰岩和火山碎屑岩的磷酸盐化作用对稀土元素的富集及Ce的亏损起了重要作用。     

西南印度洋中脊玄武岩地球化学特征及其对岩浆过程的指示意义

对采自西南印度洋中脊(SWIR)50°E附近5个站位的玄武岩样品进行了岩石学和元素地球化学研究。样品主量元素、TAS分类图解和AFM图解显示,SWIR研究区样品类型主要为低钾拉斑玄武岩。相对原始地幔SWIR区玄武岩具有Ba、Nb、Sr负异常,K表现为正异常。稀土元素分配模式均为左倾型,具有轻微的Eu、Ce正异常;SWIR区玄武岩都起源于上地幔,SWIR玄武岩则明显向EMⅡ端元偏移。SWIR玄武岩地幔源区相对最为富集,可能为DM和EMⅡ的混合源区,存在少量的陆壳成分。研究区玄武质岩浆起源深度为尖晶石橄榄岩区域处于中度还原环境下,经历了明显的橄榄石+单斜辉石+斜长石的分离结晶。     

冲绳海槽中段地球物理场及对其新生洋壳的认识

通过对冲绳海槽中的磁场进行分析，在海槽轴部追踪到了线性磁条带异常。另外，在扩张轴附近也拖到了新鲜拉斑玄武岩。重力自由空气异常值较低。根据这是由于深部地幔大幅上升所致。地震剖面及磁力资料显示在海槽轴部有强磁性浅层侵入体及海底山，这些侵入体很可能来自于深部地幔。高温地幔物质上涌在海槽轴部形成高热流、强磁异常、多火山以及热液活动。上述现象说明冲绳海槽中段张裂轴部大陆岩石圈已经破裂，并可能已有新生洋壳形成。     

东太平洋海隆1.5°N～1.5°S和南大西洋中脊13.2°S玄武岩物质组成

对东太平洋海隆(EPRⅠ区和Ⅱ区)和南大西洋中脊(SMAR)6个站位新鲜的玄武岩样品进行了岩石学及地球化学研究。结果显示,EPR玄武岩样品可分为辉石玄武岩、气孔玄武岩和玻基玄武岩3种类型,SMAR玄武岩样品主要为辉石玄武岩。EPR和SMAR玄武岩样品的标准矿物组合相同,均出现了石英和紫苏辉石标准矿物,为典型的拉斑玄武岩。EPRⅠ区和SMAR玄武岩表现出轻稀土富集的配分模式,可能受到了富集地幔源区(EMORB)的影响,其玄武岩可能形成于未经历早期熔融事件的富集地幔或部分熔融程度相对较低。EPRⅡ区玄武岩为正常型洋中脊玄武岩(N-MORB),其源区为经历了早期熔融事件的、亏损洋中脊地幔源区(DMM),且源岩部分熔融程度较高。EPRⅠ区与Ⅱ区不同的幔源特征说明东太平洋海隆地幔源区存在不均一性。     

北部湾玄武岩地幔源区性质的地球化学示踪及其构造环境

北部湾发育一系列上新世玄武岩，其全岩K—Ar年龄为5．9—2．4Ma，是伴随北部湾盆地拉张而形成的一次较大规模的岩浆活动。岩石化学和微量元素地球化学研究表明，该玄武岩属于碱性玄武岩系，具有OIB型微量元素配分模式，形成于较均一的地幔源区，具有以EM2型地幔端元为主、混有HIMU和EMl型端元的地幔源区性质，形成于地幔柱或地幔热点的构造环境。北部湾盆地与红河剪切断裂带具有相同的地幔源区，而与受太平洋板块影响的地幔源区差别较大。玄武岩形成和北部湾盆地拉张主要受印度板块向欧亚板块俯冲导致的红河断裂带大规模剪切走滑控制，5Ma左右红河断裂带由左行走滑剪切转变为右行走滑剪切的构造性质转换可能是导致地幔异常扰动和岩浆活动的地球动力学机制。     

西太平洋采薇海山群基岩特征

对西太平洋采薇海山群基岩的类型、分布及岩石学特征进行了研究,同时对该海山群玄武岩主量元素和微量元素地球化学特征进行了初步分析。研究结果表明,采薇海山群的基岩类型主要为火山碎屑岩、灰岩、玄武岩和磷块岩;海山群的基岩以火山碎屑岩为主,其次为灰岩和玄武岩,磷块岩相对不发育。镜下鉴定结果显示,火山碎屑岩以玄武质火山角砾岩为主,灰岩主要为泥晶生屑灰岩或亮晶生屑灰岩,磷块岩多由生物碎屑灰岩或火山碎屑岩发生磷酸盐化而形成。采薇海山群玄武岩主量元素特征与夏威夷岛碱性玄武岩类似,属碱性玄武岩;微量元素分析结果显示其具有洋岛和碱性玄武岩特征,反映其形成于碱性洋岛构造环境。     

东太平洋海盆海山玄武岩特征

东太平洋海山玄武岩属于大洋岛屿拉斑玄武岩，主要由橄榄拉斑玄武岩、石英拉斑玄武岩和橄榄玄武岩组成，具有拉斑玄武岩系列和过渡玄武岩系列。岩石具有基质为拉斑玄武结构或间隐结构的斑状结构和气孔构造，斑晶主要由拉长石和普通辉石组成，基质除拉长石和玻璃质外，还有少量普通辉石和磁铁矿等，岩石化学成分中Ａｌ２Ｏ３、Ｎａ２Ｏ、Ｋ２Ｏ含量偏高。玄武岩中稀土元素分配型式基本相同，曲线较平坦，稀土分馏不明显，具Ｃｅ、Ｅｕ负异常，反映岩石具有共同的成因，属晚白垩世以来的产物     

马里亚纳海槽热液区岩石矿物学和岩石化学特征研究

马里亚纳海槽中央轴裂谷中的小扩张脊部位，广布火山喷发的玄武岩体，海底热液硫化物就是从这些岩体的裂隙中喷溢堆积起来的。利用我国“大洋一号”船拖网所获岩样进行了矿物学和岩石化学特征研究，认定为高铝低钾的大洋底玄武岩或拉斑玄武岩系列和钙－碱玄武岩。为进一步弄清马里亚钠海槽区热液活动岩石学条件和探讨海槽区热液物质来源提供科学证据。     

冲绳海槽中部玄武岩的岩石学和地球化学研究

1992年冲绳海槽地质调查时,在134站(126°56′7″E,27°30′0″N)共采集到3件玄武岩样品,其中1件取自134站表层样,另外2件取自134站柱状样中的118-143cm处和193- 218cm处(刀口位置)。通过对上述3件玄武岩样品的岩相学、岩石化学组成、稀土元素和微量元素和锶同位素比值分析研究,认为本区玄武岩具多期次喷发特征,早期喷发形成的玄武岩中单斜辉石质量分数较低,晚期喷发形成的玄武岩中单斜辉石质量分数相对较高,表明了单斜辉石为晚期结晶堆积产物。本区玄武岩稀土配分模式与岛弧拉斑玄武岩基本一致,其87Sr与86Sr质量分数比值m(87Sr)/m(86Sr)为0.7046,亦与岛弧拉斑玄武岩相当。最后利用Rb-Sr丰度特征确定本区的地壳厚度为19-24 km。     

Petrology, Geochemistry and Nd-Sr-Pb Isotopic Properties of Volcanic Rocks in Daheishan Island, Penglai, Shandong Province

The major elements, trace elements, K-Ar age and Sr-Nd-Pb isotopic systems of the Cenozoic volcanic rocks in Daheishan Island and Cishan, Penglai, Shandong Province are measured. The volcanic rocks ( olivine-nephelinite and nepheline-basanite ) in DaheishanIsland erupted periodically in an interval of 0.32 Ma, from 8.72 Mm 8.39 Ma, 8.08 Ma to 7.73Ma. The volcanic rocks are all rich in light REEs. They are similar to the OIB-type alkali basalt in the trace elements normalized model by primordial mantle: rich in high field elements such as Nb and Ta, and imcompatible elements such as Cs, Rb, Ba, Th, U. The volcanic rocks show a depletion of K and Rb elements. It is suggested by the trace elements that the olivine-nephelinite in Daheishan Island is originated fi‘om deep resources under the continental mantle, ε Nd (0) values of the volcanic rocks in Daheishan Island and Cishan are 5.31 - 8.51 and 7.33 respectively, suggesting that the volcanic rocks are from the depleted mantle resources, which have higher Sm/Nd ratios than the CHUR. ^143Nd /^144Nd ratios of Daheishan Island olivine-nephelinite and Cishan alkali basalts are 0.512 910 - 0.513 074 and 0.513 014 resoeetivelv. The ^87Sr /^86Sr of Daheishan lsland volcanic rocks are lower than that of Cishan, 0.703 427 - 0.703 482 and 0.703 895 respectively. The Daheishan Island olivinenephelinite has the Pb isotopic values as follows: ^206Pb /^204pb= 18.028 9 ～17.972 8,^207Pb /^204Pb= 15,435 8 - 15.402 2 and ^208Pb /^204Pb=38.087 6 - 37.997 5, lower than those of Cishan basanite. The Cishan basanite has ^206Pb / ^204Pb = 18.240 1, ^208Pb /^204Pb = 15.564 5 and ^208Pb /^204Pb=38.535. The authors suggest that the olivine-nephelinite in Daheishan Island is similar to the E-type MORB or Hawaii OIB, and the alkali basalts in Cishan similar to the Kerguelen OIB. The dominant mantle components of DM PREMA and perhaps DM( Dupal type ) are the dominant mantle components for volcanic rocks in Daheishan Island and Cishan. The PREMA component plays an important role.     

晚中新世南海珍贝-黄岩海山岩浆活动及其演化:岩石地球化学和年代学证据

南海海盆15°N附近呈东西向展布的珍贝-黄岩海山被认为是32~17Ma前南海海盆的残留扩张中心.对采自黄岩海山的两个火山岩样品(9DG,9DG-2)进行了岩石学、地球化学和年代学研究.两个样品的SiO₂含量分别为60.3%和63.6%,Al₂O₃含量分别为17.56%和17.55%,TiO₂含量分别为0.48%和0.31%,碱度率分别为3.88和3.62.根据岩石学和岩石化学分类,样品属碱性系列的粗面岩.对稀土元素和微量元素分析表明岩石具有洋岛玄武岩(OIB)型配分型式,轻重稀土总量比(∑c(LREE)/∑c(HREE))和球粒陨石标准化镧镱比((La/Yb)N)分别高达17.22和27.23,并具有铕负异常和锶、磷、钛亏损的特点.样品9DG的锶-钕-铅同位素分析结果为锶-87的含量与锶-86的含量之比值为0.704183,钕-143的含量与钕-144的含量之比值为0.512827,铅-206的含量与铅-207的含量之比值为18.68668,铅-207的含量与铅-204的含量之值为15.67962,铅-208的含量与铅-204的含量之比值为39.00261,表明初始岩浆来自软流圈地幔,具有与珍贝海山玄武岩相似的同位素组成.经钾-氩法测年,粗面岩的年龄为(7.77±0.49)Ma,略晚于珍贝海山玄武岩的年龄[(9.1±1.29)~10.0±1.80Ma],属于南海扩张期后晚中新世火山活动的产物.对比珍贝海山玄武岩的地球化学和同位素特征,认为两者有相同的岩浆源区,但是它们经历了不同程度的结晶分异过程,在晚中新世期间珍贝-黄岩海山可能有地幔柱活动.     

白垩纪以来太平洋上地幔组成和温度变化

The geological evolution of the Earth during the mid-Cretaceous were shown to be anomalous, e.g., the pause of the geomagnetic field, the global sea level rise, and increased intra-plate volcanic activities, which could be attributed to deep mantle processes. As the anomalous volcanic activities occurred mainly in the Cretaceous Pacific, here we use basalt chemical compositions from the oceanic drilling(DSDP/ODP/IODP) sites to investigate their mantle sources and melting conditions. Based on locations relative to the Pacific plateaus, we classified these sites as oceanic plateau basalts, normal mid-ocean ridge basalts, and near-plateau seafloor basalts. This study shows that those normal mid-ocean ridge basalts formed during mid-Cretaceous are broadly similar in average Na8, La/Sm and Sm/Yb ratios and Sr-Nd isotopic compositions to modern Pacific spreading ridge(the East Pacific Rise). The Ontong Java plateau(125–90 Ma) basalts have distinctly lower Na8 and143Nd/144 Nd, and higher La/Sm and 87Sr/86 Sr than normal seafloor basalts, whereas those for the near-plateau seafloor basalts are similar to the plateau basalts, indicating influences from the Ontong Java mantle source. The super mantle plume activity that might have formed the Ontong Java plateau influenced the mantle source of the simultaneously formed large areas of seafloor basalts. Based on the chemical data from normal seafloor basalts, I propose that the mantle compositions and melting conditions of the normal mid-ocean ridges during the Cretaceous are similar to the fast spreading East Pacific Rise. Slight variations of mid-Cretaceous normal seafloor basalts in melting conditions could be related to the local mantle source and spreading rate.     

Prolonged Magmatic and Tectonic Development of the Caribbean Igneous Province Revealed by a Diving Submersible Survey

Using the diving submersible survey NAUTICA we investigated the central part of the Caribbean large igneous province (CLIP) to observe and sample internal portions of this proposed oceanic plateau. Most of the samples are gabbroic and doleritic rocks; basalts are scarce. Radiometric dating by ⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar incremental heating experiments indicate that the intrusive rocks are Campanian in age (81–75 Ma). In some places these intrusive rocks underlie older Santonian (85–83 Ma) extrusive basaltic rocks, suggesting that the Campanian rocks represent a sill injection and an underplating episode. Results of the diving program supplemented by information from ODP and DSDP drilling sites document a 20 m.y. period (94–75 Ma) of igneous activity in the submerged portion of the Caribbean large igneous province (CLIP). In the northern part of the Beata Ridge late Campanian and/or post Campanian uplift is documented by prominent Maastrichtian (71–65 Ma) erosion and the establishment of a Paleocene-middle Eocene (65–49 Ma) carbonate platform. During and after the uplift an extensional period is indicated by seismic images and the subsidence (3 km depth) of the carbonate platform. Paleocene ages (55–56 Ma) determined on some volcanic samples are attributed to localised decompression mantle melting that accompanied the extension. We document a prolonged period of magmatic and tectonic events that do not fit with the current models of short-lived plateau formation during mantle plume initiation but shares many similarities with the constructional histories of other oceanic large igneous provinces.     

马里亚纳弧前区锥形海山岩石学及成因

锥形海山是马里亚纳弧前区非火山成因的海山。它是由俯冲的太平洋板块对仰冲板块的上推作用,地壳下的上地幔物质底辟侵入的结果。海山顶部的岩石是由蛇纹石化超镁铁质方辉橄榄岩组成。其主要矿物成分为斜方辉石、橄榄石、尖晶石、磁铁矿、蛇纹石和碳酸盐。手标本呈显晶质块状构造,薄片中呈粒状、残留状、筛网状及斑状变晶结构。岩石化学特征表现为:低Si和Al,高M/F值,含水,亏损了所有过渡金属。岩石的成因属超基性岩浆直接结晶,后经海水的参入,在热液作用下普遍发生蛇纹石化和碳酸盐化。     

Potassium-argon/argon-40-argon-39 geochronology of Cenozoic alkali basalts from the South China Sea

Based on the isotopic chronologic results of Cenozoic alkali basalts from the South China Sea, the characteristics of volcanic activi- ty of the South China Sea after spreading were studied. The potassium - argon ages of eight alkali basalt samples from the South China Sea, and the argon - argon ages of two samples among them are reported. Apparent ages of the whole rock are 3.80 to 7. 91 Ma with an average value of 5.43 Ma （potassium- argon, whole rock）, and there is little difference among samples at the same location, e. g. , 4. 76 - 5.78 Ma for location S（M-12. The argon - argon ages for the two samples are 6.06 and 4. 71 Ma, which lie within the age scope of potassium - argon method. The dating results indicate that rock-forming age is from late Miocene to Pliocene, which is consistent with erupting event for alkali basalts from adjacent regions of the South China Sea. Volcanic activities occur after the cessation of spreading of the South China Sea, which are controlled by lithospheric fault and the spreading center formed during the spreading period of the South China Sea. These dating results, combined with geochemical characteristics of these basalts, the published chronological data for the South China Sea and its adjacent regions, and the updated geophysical data near Hainan Island, suggest that after the cessation of spreading of the South China Sea, there occur widely distributing magmatic activities which primarily is alkali basalt, and the volcanic activity continues to Quaternary. The activity may be relative to Hainan mantle plume originated from core/mantle boundary.     

Geochemical and isotopic characteristics of volcanic rocks from the northern East China Sea shelf margin and the Okinawa Trough

Volcanic rocks both from the northern East China Sea (NECS) shelf margin and the northern Okinawa Trough are subalkaline less aluminous,and lower in High Field Strength Elements (HFSE).These rocks are higher in Large Ion Lithophile Elements (LILE),thorium and uranium contents,positive lead anomalies,negative Nb-Ta anomalies,and enrichment in Light Rare Earth Elements (LREE).Basalts from the NECS shelf margin are akin to Indian Ocean Mid-Ocean Ridge Basalt (MORB),and rhyolites from the northern Okinawa Trough have the highest 207 Pb/ 204 Pb and 208 Pb/ 204 Pb ratios.The NECS shelf margin basalts have lower 87 Sr/ 86 Sr ratios,ε N d and σ 18 O than the northern Okinawa Trough silicic rocks.According to 40 K– 40 Ar isotopic ages of basalts from the NECS shelf margin,rifting of the Okinawa Trough may have been active since at least 3.65–3.86 Ma.The origin of the NECS shelf margin basalt can be explained by the interaction of melt derived from Indian Ocean MORB-like mantle with enriched subcontinental lithosphere.The basalts from both sides of the Okinawa Trough may have a similar origin during the initial rifting of the Okinawa Trough,and the formation of basaltic magmas closely relates to the thinning of continental crust.The source of the formation of the northern Okinawa Trough silicic rocks was different from that of the middle Okinawa Trough,which could have been generated by the interaction of basaltic melt with an enriched crustal component.From the Ryukyu island arc to East China,the Cenozoic basalts have apparently increasing trends of MgO contents and ratios of LREE to Heavy Rare Earth Elements (HREE),suggesting that the trace element variabilities of basalts may have been influenced by the subduction of the Philippine Sea plate,and that the effects of subduction of the Philippine Sea plate on the chemical composition of basaltic melts have had a decreasing effect from the Ryukyu island arc to East China.
