甘肃金川Ⅱ号岩体辉石化学特征及其地质意义

金川Ⅱ号岩体主要由二辉橄榄岩和硫化物橄榄岩构成,单斜辉石和斜方辉石为岩相中主要造岩矿物,单斜辉石含量一般高于斜方辉石.矿物间的结构关系表明主要造岩矿物的结晶顺序为:橄榄石-斜方辉石-单斜辉石-斜长石.单斜辉石的TiO2,Al2O3,Cr2O3和Na2O质量分数依次为:0.29%～1.26%、3.17%～3.59%、0.86%～1.14%、0.29%～0.57%,斜方辉石的TiO2,Al2O3,Cr2O3和Na2O质量分数普遍低于单斜辉石,依次为:0.16%～0.40%、1.85%～2.38%、0.48%～0.68%、0.03%～0.10%.元素间的相关关系显示辉石的类质同像置换方式为:M1Fe2 2 Si=M1Ti 2IV Al,M1Fe2 Si=M1Fe3 IVAl,Fe3 和Ti进入矿物晶格置换Fe2 来平衡Al置换Si产生的正电价差.两种辉石较低的TiO2,Al2O3和Na2O质量分数显示出母岩浆为拉斑玄武岩浆的特征.二辉石温度计和单辉石温度计算表明斜方辉石的结晶温度下限和单斜辉石结晶温度上限大致在1146℃～1166℃之间,单斜辉石的结晶一直持续到1032℃或者更低.金川Ⅱ号岩体单斜辉石演化明显表现出向透辉石端员偏离,暗示岩浆在结晶分异过程中,可能与富钙质围岩发生了同化混染作用.     

Empirical calibration of the silica–Ca-tschermak's–anorthite (SCAn) geobarometer

The pressure-sensitive equilibrium among anorthite, quartz and the Ca-tschermak component in clinopyroxene (CaAl₂SiO₆; CaTs), CaAl₂SiOCpx6+SiOQtz2=CaAl₂Si₂OPl8 (SCAn) ,can be used as a geobarometer in granulites with the proper assemblage, and has been calibrated using mineral composition data from partial melting experiments of natural assemblages and from phase equilibrium experiments on the end-member CMAS system. The experimental data cover the P – T  range 4–32  kbar and 900–1400  °C. Linear least-squares regression analysis of the experimental data resulted in the following empirical expressions for pressure in terms of composition and temperature: P = 5.066 [±0.760]+ 1300 [±800] T  −ln K 276 [±16] · T  [±2.5  kbar]or P = 6.330 [±0.116]−ln K 301 [±9]· T  [±1.0  kbar] ,where K = a PlAn a CpxCaTs  .The first equation incorporates an enthalpy term, but is less accurate than the second equation, in which the enthalpy of reaction is ignored. Application of these expressions to natural and experimental equilibrium mineral assemblages demonstrates that the empirical barometers are applicable over a wide range of pressures (≥4  kbar), temperatures (≥700  °C) and bulk compositions (Mg#≥32.5).     

Megacrysts in the Cenozoic basalt of the Tuoyun Basin,Southwest Tianshan

Abundant megacrysts of clinopyroxene, amphibole, anorthoclase, and phlogopite are found together with deep-seated xenoliths in the Cenozoic basalt of the Tuoyun Basin, Southwest Tianshan. The megacrysts are mainly in the cone sheet formed at the early stage of the volcanic activity. Clinopyrox-ene megacrysts are located in the lower part of the profile, with amphibole and phlogopite megacrysts in the middle part and anorthoclase megacrysts in the upper part. The crystal integrity, absence of de-formation fabric and their relation to the host basalt suggest that they were crystallized from the host magma and quickly transported to the surface. The mineralogical studies imply that the clinopyroxene megacrysts are of Al-augite with higher Al2O3 (>9%). Amphibole megacrysts are kaersutite rich in TiO2 (>4.5%). Sulfide inclusions such as pyrrhotite occur in some clinopyroxene and amphibole megacrysts. Thermodynamic calculations reveal that pyroxene megacrysts formed under the temperature of 1185.85―1199.85℃ and the pressure between 1.53 and 1.64 GPa comparable to the crust-mantle boundary and amphibole megacrysts crystallized under the pressure of around 0.85 GPa, temperature about 1000℃ comparable to the depth of 30 km. Anorthoclase megacrysts crystallized under the pressure between 0.8―1 GPa,temperature about 900℃.The absence of Ti-rich inclusions such as rutile can be considered as an evidence of quick magma ascending. The P-T conditions estimated via py-roxene megacrysts and phenocrysts compose a P-T path with a steep slope. It can be considered as another evidence of quick magma ascending. However, the estimated temperatures for amphibole megacrysts are markedly lower than those for pyroxene megacrysts given the same pressure. It probably shows that the amphiboles have crystallized at the vanguard of magma and under the vola-tile-rich condition. Thus, we can conclude that the Cenozoic basalts are produced in an extensional tectonic setting and the processes governing crystallization and ascending of the megacrysts are very complex.     

大陆玄武岩原始水含量的测定及其对源区组分的制约

理解大陆板内玄武岩的源区组成和成因是认识地幔动力学过程和化学不均一性的重要途径。由于不同地幔端员具有不同的水含量及水与其它不相容元素的比值(如H2O/Ce),原始水含量的测定对于认识玄武岩的源区组成将会提供新的信息。玄武岩玻璃和斑晶中的熔体包裹体是获得海洋玄武岩原始水含量的主要样品,但是不适合于大陆玄武岩,因为大陆玄武岩玻璃由于强烈的去气作用不能反映真实水含量,而大陆玄武岩斑晶中的熔体包裹体少而小,不易获得足量、准确的数据。本文介绍一种最近发展起来的推断大陆玄武岩原始水含量的方法,即利用红外光谱测定玄武岩中单斜辉石斑晶的水含量,然后结合水在单斜辉石与玄武质熔体中的分配系数来反演与斑晶平衡的熔体水含量,进而估计原始玄武质岩浆的水含量。文中详细叙述了方法的适用性、误差的估计以及具体的操作流程,并通过东北双辽和华北太行山新生代玄武岩的研究实例,展示了玄武岩水含量对于源区组成的有力制约。     

滇西剑川苦橄玢岩中单斜辉石的矿物学特征及其地质意义

利用电子探针对滇西剑川的二龙和满元两个地区苦橄玢岩和苦橄质堆晶岩中的单斜辉石进行了详细的矿物学研究,结果表明绝大多数单斜辉石属于普通辉石,具有贫硅、贫碱、高钙和低氧逸度的特征。在单斜辉石形成过程中,阳离子间普遍发生类质同像替代。单斜辉石温压计算结果显示,二龙和满元苦橄玢岩的形成温度(1 324~1 428℃)和压力(1.5~2.9 GPa)明显低于满元苦橄质堆晶岩的温度(1 439~1 462℃)和压力(3.0~3.2 GPa),二龙和满元苦橄玢岩的形成深度也比满元苦橄质堆晶岩的深度(99~106 km)浅,整体看来,剑川苦橄玢岩形成的温度和压力较高,来源较深,可能是软流圈沿断裂带上涌导致上地幔部分熔融的结果,也可能是地幔柱活动所导致。     

长江中下游地区蝌蚪山早白垩世玄武岩中单斜辉石的矿物学研究及其地质意义

长江中下游地区繁昌火山盆地在早白垩世先后发育3个喷发旋回:中分村旋回、赤沙旋回和蝌蚪山旋回。其中蝌蚪山旋回下段以凝灰质粉砂岩为主,中段为玄武岩和流纹质凝灰岩互层,上段以流纹岩为主。蝌蚪山玄武岩中的辉石既存在斑晶中也存在于基质中,这两种辉石在成分上有明显的差异,从斑晶辉石的核部到边部再到基质的核部,化学成分由富镁向富铁演化,显示出拉斑玄武岩系列的特点,辉石成因的判别图解表明其寄主岩浆为板内拉斑玄武岩,但其化学成分的变化趋势又表明岩浆在结晶分异的过程中向着碱性系列演化。根据单斜辉石与熔体平衡原理计算出玄武岩形成时的温度约为1 100℃,压力约为400MPa,相应的深度约为15km,证明岩浆在地壳中有过短暂的停留,并在上地壳部位发生分离结晶作用后喷出地表快速冷凝形成蝌蚪山玄武岩。     

Comparison of the compositions of crystalline aluminosilicate rocks and their minerals in a planar triangular projection

The problem of comparison of the composition of crystalline rocks with the composition of the constituent minerals of these rocks is considered. It is proposed to present the composition of rocks and the compositions of the constituent minerals in the form of a triangle on the plane. The experience of presentation of compositions in phase diagrams was taken as a basis for the construction. Analysis of the crystallochemical characteristics of clinopyroxenes and garnets has shown that three parameters are enough for depicting the compositions of these and other minerals. For this purpose, similar composition components of rocks and their minerals are summarized in molecular proportions and are plotted on the triangle DO-1/2(R₂O3)-XO₂, where DO = (MgO + CaO + FeO + MnO + NiO + ...) + 1/4(Na₂O + Al₂O₃) + 1/4(K₂O + Al₂O₃), 1/2(R₂O₃) = 1/2(Al₂O₃ + Fe₂O₃ + Cr₂O₃ + ...) - (1/4(Na₂O + Al₂O₃) + 1/4(K₂O + Al₂O₃)), and XO₂ = SiO₂ + TiO₂. The compositions of minerals are expressed as the sums of their components: Ol = Fo + Fa + Lar + Neph + ..., Px = Di + En + Wol + Ged + Gip + Jd + Eg + ..., Ga = Pyr + Gross + Alm + Spe + Ski + Knr + Mj + ..., etc. A step-by-step calculation algorithm is proposed, which permits evaluation of the contents of bi- and trivalent iron during probe microanalyses of garnets and pyroxenes. Comparison of the compositions of deep-seated rocks and their minerals shows their good consistency. The proposed schematic projection permits a visual comparison of the compositions of rocks with low contents of carbonates and water, from ultrabasic (e.g., dunites) to acid (e.g., granites) ones.     

南海新生代玄武岩中单斜辉石地球化学特征 及其地质意义

南海新生代玄武岩中发育有大量的单斜辉石斑晶,与橄榄石、角闪石等斑晶共存,多数被熔蚀,呈浑圆状,部分发育有很窄的反应边。研究表明单斜辉石具有巨晶的特征,是在高压下在与寄主岩同源的岩浆中形成,没有经历长时间的沉淀生长而直接向上运移被带到地表,因而具有巨晶的主量及微量元素的特征却不具有巨晶的形态。单斜辉石稀土元素含量不高,HREE及LREE亏损,而MREE富集;大离子亲石元素Rb、Ba、Sr均出现明显的亏损,高场强元素Nb、Zr出现亏损而Hf略富集。Nb、Ta与Zr、Hf分馏明显。Th较为富集,而Pb强烈亏损,U的变化范围较大。研究发现南海新生代玄武岩中的单斜辉石的来源较为简单,为地幔柱的直接产物,并没有受到洋中脊—地幔柱相互作用的影响,由于岩浆上升速度较快压力迅速下降,橄榄石大量晶出,引起了岩浆成分的变化,致使单斜辉石与寄主岩成分和结构上没有达到平衡。     

地幔不同深度单斜辉石含水量的高压实验

在1.5~5GPa、1100~1200℃条件下开展了含水大陆碱性玄武岩的熔融实验研究。通过红外光谱分析其中单斜辉石的结构水,计算得到其量为1173(153)×10-6～2049(197)×10-6。结果表明:当P<3GPa时,随着压力增大,单斜辉石的含水量逐渐增加,在3GPa附近达到峰值,之后随着压力的增大单斜辉石含水量又逐渐减少。单斜辉石含水量随压力的这种变化关系可能受单斜辉石中Al含量的影响。该研究为了解上地幔不同深度处水的分布提供了实验证据。     

水与大火成岩省的形成

大火成岩省(LIPs)是发生在板块内部的超大规模岩浆活动的产物,其成因一直是地学界研究的前沿和热点。影响LIPs形成的主要因素包括温度、压力、源岩性质和源区水含量,虽然已积累较多的成果,但对于地幔源区中的水是否影响及如何影响LIPs的形成,目前还知之甚少。本文回顾了已有的实测LIPS水含量研究工作,并介绍了一种新的分析手段,即利用傅里叶变换红外光谱(FTIR)测定早期结晶的单斜辉石斑晶水含量,然后结合水在单斜辉石斑晶和熔体间的分配系数来反演得到LIPs的"原始"水含量。通过塔里木和峨眉山两个大火成岩省的研究实例,综合评价了温度、压力、源岩性质和水含量这4个因素的影响,指出很可能只有当这些因素同时具备了才能产生LIPs。
