Gabbro-derived granulites from External liguride units (northern Apennine,Italy): implications for the rifting processes in the western Tethys

In Santonian-Early Campanian sedimentary melanges of the External Liguride units (northern Apennine), slide blocks of subcontinental mantle and MOR basalts are associated with lithologies derived from the continental crust. One of these sedimentary melanges, the Mt. Ragola complex, is characterized by the close association of mantle ultramafic, mafic and quartzo-feldspathic granulites. Mafic granulites show a wide compositional range. They generally display a marked metamorphic layering, but undeformed rocks which preserve a gabbroic fabric are found locally. The most frequent lithologies are Al-spinel gabbronorites, generally containing minor olivine, and Fe-Ti oxidebearing gabbronorites. Troctolites, olivine gabbronorites and anorthosites were also recovered. Relics of primary textures as well as mineral and bulk-rock compositional variations indicate a comagmatic intrusive origin for the protoliths of the mafic granulites. This intrusive mafic complex underwent a subsolidus reequilibration under granulite facies conditions, at 0.6–0.9 GPa and 810–920°C, and was derived from crystallization at intermediate levels of tholeiite-derived liquids, possibly affected by crustal contamination. Its primary features are similar to those of the upper zone of the Ivrea layered complex. The gabbroic protolith for the granulites of External Liguride units were probably crystallized into the extending Adria lithosphere in relation to the initial stages of the opening of the western Tethys.     

The formation of SiO<Subscript>2</Subscript>-rich melts within the deep oceanic crust by hydrous partial melting of gabbros

Small amounts of felsic, evolved plutonic rocks, often called oceanic plagiogranites, always occur as veins or small stocks within the gabbroic section of the oceanic crust. Four major models are under debate to explain the formation of these rocks: (1) late-stage differentiation of a parental MORB melt, (2) partial melting of gabbroic rocks, (3) immiscibility in an evolved tholeiitic liquid, and (4) assimilation and partial melting of previously altered dikes. Recent experimental data in hydrous MORB-type systems are used to evaluate the petrogenesis of oceanic plagiogranites within the deep oceanic crust. Experiments show that TiO₂ is a key parameter for the discrimination between different processes: TiO₂ is relatively low in melts generated by anatexis of gabbros which is a consequence of the low TiO₂ contents of the protolith, due to the depleted nature of typical cumulate gabbros formed in the oceanic crust. On the other hand, TiO₂ is relatively high in those melts generated by MORB differentiation or liquid immiscibility. Since the TiO₂ content of many oceanic plagiogranites is far below that expected in case of a generation by simple MORB differentiation or immiscibility, these rocks may be regarded as products of anatexis. This may indicate that partial melting processes triggered by water-rich fluids are more common in the deep oceanic crust than believed up to now. At slow-spreading ridges, seawater may be transported via high-temperature shear zones deeply into the crust and thus made available for melting processes.     

Geology and petrology of a deep crustal zone from the Famatinian paleo-arc, Sierras de Valle Fértil and La Huerta, San Juan, Argentina

The ranges of the Sierras Valle Fértil-La Huerta expose natural cross sections through a paleo-arc crust that formed in the Late Cambrian - Early Ordovician Famatinian magmatic arc, northwestern Argentina. Thick mafic sequences of amphibole gabbronorites to orthopyroxene-amphibole-biotite diorites form the lower levels of the exposed paleo-arc section. This mafic unit includes lens-shaped bodies of olivine-bearing cumulate rocks and tabular-shaped sill/dike intrusions of fine-grained chilled amphibole gabbro. The mafic magmas were emplaced into regional metasedimentary sequences at lower crustal levels, corresponding to pressure from 5 to 7 kbar. Gabbronorites likely representing the parental magmas that fluxed into the exposed paleo-arc crust differ from primitive magmatic arc rocks in having somewhat lower Mg-number (ca. 0.60) and compatible (Cr and Ni) trace element contents, and slightly higher Al₂O₃ contents. This difference is taken to indicate that a pyroxene-rich olivine-bearing assemblage with a bulk high Mg/Fe ratio and low Al₂O₃ content crystallized from mantle-derived melts before mafic magmas reached the crustal levels currently exhumed. However, some gabbronorites have incompatible trace element signatures typical of primitive mafic arc magmatism. Igneous rocks to some extent more evolved than those of the mafic unit make up a tonalite-dominated intermediate unit. The intermediate unit consists of a heterogeneous suite that ranges from orthopyroxene-bearing amphibole-rich diorites to biotite-rich amphibole-poor tonalites. Within the intermediate unit, chilled mafic rocks are found as a network of dikes, whereas metasedimentary migmatites appear interlayered as m-wide septa and km-long strips. The tonalite-dominated intermediate unit passes into a granodiorite batholith through a transitional zone that is up to 2-km wide. The boundary zone separating the tonalite-dominated and granodiorite-dominated units is characterized by mingling of tonalitic and leucogranitic magmas, which together appear multiply-intruded by mafic sill/dike bodies. Within the tonalite- and granodiorite-dominated units, the less evolved mafic rocks occur as: (1) bodies tens of meters long, (2) chilled dikes and sills, and (3) microgranular inclusions (enclaves), supporting the inference that mafic magmatism was the main source for generating a vast volume of intermediate and silicic igneous rocks. Mass balance calculations and trace element systematics are combined to demonstrate that tonalites and granodiorites formed by concurrent closed-system fractional crystallization and open-system incorporation of paragneissic migmatites and/or anatectic leucogranites into the evolving igneous sequence. This study argues that the sequence of igneous rocks from Valle Fértil-La Huerta was formed as the result of complementary petrogenetic processes that operated concurrently at different levels of the Famatinian arc crust.     

Differential rotations in the Oman Ophiolite: paleomagnetic evidence from the southern massifs

New paleomagnetic data from 11 sites in layered gabbros and lava flows from the Oman Ophiolite indicate stable, early remagnetizations and suggest that the southern portion of the ophiolite (the Wadi Tayin, Sumail, Nakhl-Rustaq and Haylayn massifs) is relatively unrotated since detachment near the paleoridge. The gabbros possess a magnetization carried by a combination of primary and secondary magnetites derived from hydrothermal alteration. Evidence from positive tilt tests, constancy of remanence directions in differing magnetic mineralogies and agreement with previous paleomagnetic data, however, suggests that this remagnetization was acquired early – analogous to the remagnetization of the V₂ volcanic series. Thus, the evidence implies that the southern portion of the ophiolite has been primarily translated from the paleoridge since the time of V₂ remagnetization, and 120° of clockwise rotation affecting the northern Oman Ophiolite is internal to the ophiolite, rather than a combination of internal and global rotation as previously hypothesized. Given this evidence, we propose a simplified model of a rapid, active microplate rotation of a portion of the ophiolite resulting from spreading at an EPR-type propagating ridge at a high angle to the previous spreading direction. Paleomagnetic data from this and previous studies can be well explained by a rapidly rotating microplate, similar to the kinematic evolution documented for the Juan Fernandez microplate in the modern setting.

西天山小哈拉军山富钛磁铁矿辉长岩的岩石成因及其构造环境

天山造山带晚古生代构造争议部分源于对晚古生代岩浆岩的岩石成因及其构造环境认识不足。本文对西天山小哈拉军山辉长岩进行了系统的矿物学、岩石学、地球化学和年代学研究,以探讨其岩石成因、地幔源区特征及其形成的构造背景。锆石U-Pb定年分析结果显示小哈拉军山辉长岩形成于早二叠世早期(295±3Ma)。该辉长岩富含钛磁铁矿(含量高达8vol%以上),并且主要造岩矿物如斜长石、单斜辉石、角闪石均显示出富Fe-Ti的特征,表明其形成于富Fe-Ti的岩浆体系。岩相学特征显示,小哈拉军山辉长岩的斜长石结晶早于单斜辉石和角闪石,由角闪石成分估算的岩浆水含量相对较低,暗示了相对干的初始岩浆体系,并且单斜辉石的Al-Ti含量关系显示出板内岩浆的特征,均表明该辉长岩并非岛弧岩浆产物,应形成于拉张构造环境,因此西天山地区在早二叠世早期已处于碰撞后伸展阶段。另外,该辉长岩的全岩富集大离子亲石元素和轻稀土元素,相对亏损重稀土和高场强元素,全岩εNd(t)略亏损(2.34～3.30),Sr同位素比值变化较大(~(87)Sr/~(86)Sr=0.7045～0.7067),表明岩浆来源于富集的地幔源区,可能与造山带形成之前的俯冲板片组分的交代富集相关。由于西天山地区在早二叠世已处于造山后的伸展阶段,是塔里木大火成岩省范围内地幔柱活动最易于表现的地区,而小哈拉军山辉长岩与相邻的哈拉达拉富V-Ti磁铁矿层状辉长岩具有相似的岩浆源区和矿化特征,并具有密切的时空关系,很可能都为塔里木早二叠世地幔柱活动的产物。     

俄罗斯阿尔丹地块南部辉长-斜长岩杂岩体的构造-物质组分特点及其演化

Ｋａｌａｒｓｋｙ岩体是沿阿尔丹南部边缘分布的规模巨大的ＤｊｕｇｄｊｕｒＫａｌａｒｓｋｙ辉长－斜长岩岩带的一部分。本文研究了代表典型地球早期（前寒武纪）发展史、在行星水准上发育的这个特殊杂岩体的构造－物质组分、形成的阶段性及其继后构造演化。辉长－斜长岩杂岩体产于前寒武纪克拉通化地块交接处及其褶皱的流动性较高的框架中。该杂岩体由两个岩浆岩共生组合组成：硅铝质（斜长岩及辉长－斜长岩）及镁铁质（基性－超基性岩）。体积上前者明显小于后者。这两个岩石共生组合的锶同位素比值都特别低,说明其原始岩浆的地幔属性,是在一个相对宁静的背景中在早期分异出来的产物。辉长－斜长岩杂岩体的演化明显分３个阶段：早期是圈闭结晶岩并将其极度加热的阶段,是庞大的具对称构造的地块的形成阶段;中期是地块的最终固结阶段,在此期间发生了褶皱变形,是高压变质作用的初期阶段;晚期是发生刚性变形,形成辉长－斜长杂岩岩体的岩浆岩岩墙群、链状构造及雁行构造,并发生最大高压变质作用的阶段。文中对与辉长－斜长岩杂岩体共生的似榴辉岩也进行了探讨。
