吉林省长白山地区新生代火山岩的特点及其成因

长白山地区新生代火山岩是一套玄武岩、粗面岩和钠闪碱流岩的双峰式火山岩组合。玄武岩类分别属于碱性玄武岩系列和拉斑玄武岩系列。奶头山期玄武岩是幔源原生岩浆直接喷发于地表的产物,其他各期玄武岩是幔源原生岩浆经历了一定程度分异作用的产物。粗面岩和钠闪碱流岩与玄武岩有成因联系,可能是玄武岩浆通过分离结晶作用而形成的。本区新生代火山岩是大陆裂谷构造环境下的产物,是在地幔增温和底辞上升过程中形成的。     

Aluminum-dependent trace element partitioning in clinopyroxene

As technical advances have dramatically increased our ability to analyze trace elements, the need for more reliable data on the compositional dependence of trace element partitioning between minerals and melt has become increasingly important. The late-Cretaceous Carmacks Group of south central Yukon comprises a succession of primitive high-Mg ankaramitic lavas characterized by shoshonitic chemical affinities and containing large complexly zoned clinopyroxene phenocrysts. The compositional zonation of the clinopyroxene phenocrysts is characterized by relatively Fe-rich (Mg^# = Mg/(Mg + Fe) = 0.85), but mottled, cores surrounded by mantles of cyclically-zoned clinopyroxene whose Mg^# varies repeatedly between 0.9 and 0.80. These cyclically zoned clinopyroxene mantles appear to record the repeated influx and mixing of batches of primitive with more evolved magma in a deep sub-crustal (∼1.2 GPa) magma chamber(s). Laser ablation ICP-MS was used to analyze the trace element variation in these zoned clinopyroxenes. The results indicate more than a threefold variation in the absolute concentrations of Th, Zr, rare earth elements (REE), and Y within individual clinopyroxene phenocrysts, with no apparent change in the degree of REE or high field strength element (HFSE) fractionation. The variation in absolute abundances of trace elements correlates closely with the major element composition of the clinopyroxene, with the most enriched clinopyroxene having the lowest Mg^# and highest Al contents. The problem is that the amount of crystal fractionation required to explain the major element variation (∼20%) in these clinopyroxene phenocrysts cannot explain the increase in the abundance of the incompatible trace elements, which would require more than 70% crystal fractionation, if constant partition coefficients are assumed. The anomalous increase in incompatible trace elements appears to reflect an increase in their partition coefficients with increasing Al^IV in the clinopyroxene; with an increase in Al₂O₃ from 1.5 to 4.0 wt.% during ∼20% crystal fractionation over a temperature decrease of ∼100°C being associated with more that a threefold increase in the partition coefficients of Th, Zr, REE, and Y. The magnitude of these increases may indicate that the substitution of these trace elements into clinopyroxene is better modeled in some natural systems by a local charge balance model, rather than the distributed charge model that better replicates the results of annealed experiments. These findings indicate that the effect of Al on the partition coefficients of incompatible trace elements in clinopyroxene may be under appreciated in natural magmatic systems and that the application of experimentally determined clinopyroxene partition coefficients to natural systems must be done with caution.     

Plastic deformation of orthoenstatite and the ortho- to high-pressure clinoenstatite transition: a metadynamics simulation study

Atomic-scale mechanisms of plastic deformation in orthoenstatite, MgSiO₃ are studied by computer simulation methods. The combined use of metadynamics and molecular dynamics allows a direct observation of the structural changes during the creation of stacking faults in the (100) plane. A sequence of slip deformations in two different (100) planes at P = 15 GPa and T = 1,000 K reveals a probable transformation mechanism for the ortho- to high-pressure clinopyroxene transition. Each of the observed slips consists of at least four partial deformations crossing high-energy intermediate structures. In agreement with experimental studies, both (100)[010] and (100)[001] slip systems are activated in the deformation process. The observation of a dominant (100)[001] single slip system in pyroxenes may be related to the fact that high-energy intermediate dislocations with (100)[010] component are not stable on geological or experimental timescales.     

Sr–barite droplets associated with sulfide blebs in clinopyroxene megacrysts from basaltic tuff (Szentbékkálla, western Hungary)

A unique occurrence of strontian barite droplets associated with oriented planes of primary sulfide blebs in several clinopyroxene megacrysts was found in the Plio-Pleistocene basaltic tuff of Szentbékkálla (Bakony–Balaton Highland, western Hungary). The barite droplets contain 3.22–14.7 wt.% SrO, variable amount of FeO (up to 3.25 wt.%), minor CaO, CuO and NiO. Textural arrangements of oriented sulfide planes show that they were trapped as immiscible sulfide melt during crystallization of the clinopyroxene. Temperature and pressure estimation (978–1094 °C and 1.0–1.1 GPa) of the host clinopyroxenes indicate that formation of clinopyroxene megacrysts and entrapment of sulfide blebs happened under upper mantle conditions.

A genetic relationship between the sulfate and sulfide blebs is doubtful. Textural features suggest that the barite droplets might have been trapped together with the sulfide blebs from immiscible sulfide melts. However, it cannot be excluded that the barite formed during metasomatic event following the sulfide formation.     

大别山碧溪岭和黄镇榴辉岩中绿辉石的结构水：对原岩性质和动力学过程的制约

运用傅立叶变换红外光谱(FTIR)技术,对大别山碧溪岭和黄镇榴辉岩中的绿辉石进行了详细的结构水观察。绿辉石中普遍含有结构水,以OH~-的形式存在,含量可达～2000ppm(H_2O wt.)。碧溪岭绿辉石的水含量在露头尺度(-150km)上是不均一的,而黄镇绿辉石是均一的(至少在3km的尺度上)。碧溪岭绿辉石水含量的不均一分布和黄镇绿辉石水含量的均一分布都反映的是原岩特征,碧溪岭榴辉岩原岩经历的水-岩相互作用是“隧道式”的而黄镇是“弥散式”的碧溪岭榴辉岩的原岩可能是基性的侵入岩而黄镇榴辉岩的原岩可能是玄武岩。碧溪岭绿辉石的水含量(<1400ppm)明显低于黄镇绿辉石(～1850ppm),这是原岩水含量差异的体现,原岩性质的不同和经历的水-岩相互作用方式的不同造成了原岩水含量的差异。     

Magma Replenishment as Revealed by Textural and Geochemical Features of Plagioclase Phenocrysts in Subduction-Related Lavas

Various petrographic features and geochemical characteristics indicative of disequilibrium are preserved in plagioclase phenocrysts from basaltic to andesitic lavas in East Junggar, northwest China. These characteristics indicate that they crystallized in a magma chamber, which was replenished by less differentiated and high-temperature magmas. The petrographic and geochemical features of the plagioclase phenocrysts are interpreted to record responses to changes in temperature, composition and mechanical effect during magma replenishment. Distinct rare earth element(REE) patterns between cores and rims of the same plagioclase crystal suggest derivation from two end-member magmas. From core to rim, plagioclase phenocrysts commonly display sharp fluctuations of anorthite(An) content up to 20, which either correspond to reverse zoning associated with ovoidal cores and resorption surface(PI), or normal zoning with euhedral form and no resorption surface(P2). Plagioclase crystals with diverse textures and remarkably different An content coexist on the scale of a thin-section. Cores of these plagioclases in each sample display a bimodal distribution of An content. From core to rim in PI, concentrations o f FeOT and Sr increase remarkably as An content increases. During magma replenishment, pre-existing plagioclase phenocrysts in the andesitic magma, which were immersed into hotter and less differentiated magmas, were heated and resorbed to form ovoidal cores, and then were overgrown by a thin rim with much higher contents of An, FeO~T and Sr. However, pre-existing plagioclase phenocrysts in the basaltic magma were injected into cooler and more evolved magmas, and were remained as euhedral cores, which were later enclosed by oscillatory zoned rims with much lower contents of An, Sr and Ba.

在青藏高原拉萨地块中南部的米巴勒、麦嘎乡、赛利普地区分布有新生代的超钾质火山岩,这些火山岩的斑晶中广泛发育单斜辉石正环带,其记录了超钾质岩浆的早期结晶历史.这些单斜辉石的正环带核部到边部Mg*和镁、铬的氧化物含量降低,而铁、钠、铝、钛的氧化物含量升高,它反映了岩浆正常结晶的顺序.米巴勒地区超钾质岩中的单斜辉石还出现反环带和少量的韵律环带,可能与该地区所发现的共生钠质过碱性火山岩有关,韵律环带揭示了其可能是相同成分的超钾质母岩浆从岩浆源区多次补给形成,而反环带则可能是与钠质过碱性火山岩岩浆存在一定程度的混合造成的.尽管三个地区超钾质火山岩的喷发时间稍不同,但是三地区的单斜辉石正环带核部成分基本相同,它们具有相似的Al-Ti值,指示出超钾质岩形成在相同的构造环境并具有相同的岩浆成因.     

C2/c pyroxene phenocrysts from three potassic series in the Neogene alkaline volcanics, NE Turkey: their crystal chemistry with petrogenetic significance as an indicator of P–T conditions

Chemical and structural data are reported for C2/c pyroxene phenocrysts collected from three potassic series (Group A: basanite-tephrite, Group B: tephrite-phonolitic tephrite, Group C: alkaline basalt-trachybasalt) of the Neogene alkaline volcanics (NAVs) in northeastern Turkey, in order to investigate the evolution of the magmatic plumbing system and the location of magma chamber(s) with crystallization conditions. The rock series hosting the clinopyroxene phenocrysts show generally porphyritic texture and have a variable phenocryst-rich nature (20–58%), with phenocryst assemblages characterized by cpx ± ol ± plag ± foid ± amp ± bio. The clinopyroxene phenocrysts can be chemically classified as Ti- and Fe³⁺-rich Al-diopsides for Groups A and B (AB-cpxs) and Ti- and Fe³⁺-poor Al-diopsides for Group C (C-cpxs). They have poorly variable composition, clustering in the diopside field. Structurally, the diopside groups have nearly similar a (ranging from 9.73 to 9.75 ?), V _cell (437.2–440.9 ?³), and 〈beta〉 angle values (106.01°–106.23°), but some differences in polyhedral parameters and geometries of the AB-cpxs and C-cpxs have been observed. For example, the AB-cpxs are characterized by larger c (5.27–5.30 vs. 5.25–5.28 ?), V _T (2.27–2.30 vs. 2.23–2.28 ?³), and V _M2 (25.53–25.72 vs. 25.41–25.59 ?³) values and smaller b (8.87–8.88 vs. 8.88–8.91 ?) and V _M1 (11.49–11.63 vs. 11.64–11.83 ?³) values with respect to the C-cpxs. In addition, the AB-cpxs show higher values of V _M2/V _M1 (2.20–2.23) due to large V _M2 and small V _M1 compared to the V _M2/V _M1 ratios of the C-cpxs (<2.19). Such differences in the crystal structure of the AB-cpxs and C-cpxs from the NAVs are partly related to different crystallization pressures, but mostly related to variation in melt composition and, possibly, the influence of other crystallizing mineral phases. In particular, R(M2-O1) and R(M1-O2) (i.e. bond lengths) differences in the clinopyroxenes of different groups support the presence of evolved host rocks with different alkaline character (i.e. silica-undersaturated Groups A–B and silica-saturated Group C). Based on the cpx-geothermobarometry, the crystallization pressures for the C-cpxs are lower than 4.5 kbars, but the AB-cpxs have relatively high-pressure values (5.6–10.6 kbars), suggesting that the AB-cpxs crystallized in higher pressure environments. The relatively higher crystallization temperatures of the AB-cpxs also indicate higher cooling rates. The P–T estimates suggest that the source regions of the clinopyroxene phenocrysts from the NAVs were crustal magma chambers in a closed plumbing system at a moderate- to low-pressure regime.     

Clinopyroxene/liquid trace element partitioning in natural trachyte–trachyphonolite systems: insights from Campi Flegrei (southern Italy)

Trace element partition coefficients between clinopyroxenes and associated glassy matrix (^Cpx/L D) have been determined for 13 REE, HFSE^4+,5+, U, Th, Sr, Pb, Sc and V from combined LA-ICP-MS/EMP analyses in selected trachytes and trachyphonolites from Campi Flegrei. Composition of clinopyroxene and glass is pretty homogeneous in the trachyphonolites, pointing to an overall attainment of the equilibrium conditions. In trachytes, conversely, phases show some compositional heterogeneity (due to the presence of clinopyroxene xenocrysts) that requested a more careful petrographic and geochemical inspection of the samples to assess the equilibrium clinopyroxene composition. In the trachyte clinopyroxenes, REE are compatible from Nd to Lu (^Cpx/L D up to 2.9), like Y, Ti, Sc and V. The ^Cpx/L D for Eu is lower than those of the adjacent REE, highlighting Eu²⁺ contribution. High D values are also shown by U, Th, Pb, Zr, Hf, Nb and Ta relatively to basaltic and andesitic systems, whereas the D _Sr is roughly similar to that found for less evolved magmas. Trachyphonolites are characterized by an overall decrease of the ^Cpx/L D for highly-charged cations (with the exception of V), and by a slight increase of D _Sr. REE are still compatible from Nd to Lu (^Cpx/L D up to 2.1), like Ti, Y, Sc and V. This variation is also predicted for REE and Y by models based on the elastic strain theory, being consistent with the slightly lower polymerization degree estimated for the trachyphonolites. However, the observed ^Cpx/L D _(REE,Y) are matched by the modelled ones only considering very low T (≤825°C), which are believed unlikely. This mismatch cannot be attributed to effects induced by the water-rich composition of the trachyte–trachyphonolite suite, since they would lower the observed ^Cpx/L D _(REE,Y). Moreover, the anomalous inflections of measured ^Cpx/L D for HREE suggests some crystal-chemical control, such as the entrance of these elements in a site distinct from M2. It is concluded that the large ^Cpx/L D determined for trachytes and trachyphonolites are likely induced by hitherto unconstrained changes of the Z³⁺ activities related to the composition of melt and/or solid. All these considerations strongly highlight the importance of a direct characterization of trace element partitioning in natural samples from magmatic systems poorly characterized by experimental studies.
