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。     

安徽栏杆含金刚石基性岩中辉石及钛铁矿矿物化学特征

在中国东部皖北地区分布着新元古代镁铁质岩,岩石类型为辉绿岩、辉绿辉长岩、辉绿玢岩等。其中主要组成矿物为辉石、斜长石、角闪石、铁钛氧化物等。利用电子探针对单斜辉石和钛铁矿进行了详细研究。单斜辉石分析表明,其端元分子组成硅灰石分子(Wo)为33.27～43.04,顽火辉石分子(En)为38.79～46.63,斜方铁辉石(Fs)为10.45～24.83,属于普通透辉石。计算结果及化学成分比值说明,单斜辉石应该是在寄主碱性玄武质岩浆晚期低压下结晶的,可能是碱性玄武质岩浆浅位岩浆房晶出的产物。单斜辉石的结晶温度为1109～1206℃,压力最高为0.6GPa,相当于深部19.8km。栏杆地区钛铁矿含MgO和Cr_2O_3较低,具有富FeO,并含少量MnO的特点,属于含镁锰钛铁矿。两类矿物特征均与典型金伯利岩中的指示矿物不同。     

山东昌乐新生代碱性玄武岩中的巨晶单斜辉石成因研究

山东昌乐新生代碱性玄武岩中除斑晶单斜辉石和基质单斜辉石外,还发育大量巨晶单斜辉石和同源斜方辉石捕掳晶。巨晶单斜辉石与玄武岩间发育复杂和简单两种类型的反应边。复杂反应边往往发育在颗粒较大的巨晶单斜辉石外围。复杂反应边可分为4个带：内部带、过渡带、外部带和边缘带,其中,内部带、过渡带和外部带均由具不同结构特征的单斜辉石＋熔体＋金属氧化物构成,边缘带为不含熔体和金属氧化物的干净的单斜辉石;内部带的单斜辉石具梳状构造,过渡带的单斜辉石具细密筛孔构造,外部带为具似砂钟构造的筛孔状单斜辉石。反应边中单斜辉石、熔体及金属氧化物的成分显示,只有内部带受到单斜辉石巨晶的影响,其余带均受玄武岩浆的制约。简单反应边往往发育在颗粒较小的巨晶单斜辉石外围。简单反应边仅发育不含熔体和金属氧化物的干净的单斜辉石。巨晶单斜辉石的反应边是巨晶与玄武岩浆间温度差造成的。在与玄武岩浆反应的过程中,大颗粒的单斜辉石巨晶需要较长的时间与玄武岩浆达到温度平衡,从而有足够的时间发育包含4个带的复杂反应边;反之,由于缺乏足够的反应时间,小颗粒单斜辉石巨晶的外围只发育不含熔体和金属氧化物的简单反应边。同源斜方辉石捕掳晶的成分与地幔二辉橄榄岩包体中的斜方辉石类似,其边部发育类似于Bowen反应（1956）形成的单斜辉石环边。在单斜辉石Al^IV-Al^VI图解上,巨晶单斜辉石、二辉橄榄岩包体中的单斜辉石以及部分单斜辉石斑晶的核部,均位于较高压力的“麻粒岩和玄武岩中包体”区域,反应边中单斜辉石、基质单斜辉石以及绝大部分斑晶单斜辉石位于“火成岩”区域,说明部分斑晶单斜辉石核部来源于地幔二辉橄榄岩,属于捕掳晶。结合单斜辉石结晶压力的估算,笔者认为巨晶单斜辉石的成因模式为：来自软流圈的碱质基性熔体上侵到地幔岩石圈下部,结晶形成单斜辉石巨晶,后来该熔体携带巨晶单斜辉石与来自上地幔岩石圈、夹带大量二辉橄榄岩包体以及斜方辉石（和单斜辉石）捕掳晶的玄武岩浆混合,巨晶单斜辉石随混合后的碱性玄武岩浆上升、喷出地表。     

A new formulation of garnet–clinopyroxene geothermometer based on accumulation and statistical analysis of a large experimental data set

Published experimental data including garnet and clinopyroxene as run products were used to develop a new formulation of the garnet–clinopyroxene geothermometer based on 333 garnet–clinopyroxene pairs. Only experiments with graphite capsules were selected because of difficulty in estimating the Fe³⁺ content of clinopyroxene. For the calibration, a published subregular‐solution model was adopted to express the non‐ideality of garnet. The magnitude of the Fe–Mg excess interaction parameter for clinopyroxene (W_FeMg^Cpx), and differences in enthalpy and entropy of the Fe–Mg exchange reaction were regressed from the accumulated experimental data set. As a result, a markedly negative value was obtained for the Fe–Mg excess interaction parameter of clinopyroxene (W_FeMg^Cpx = ? 3843 J mol^?1). The pressure correction is simply treated as linear, and the difference in volume of the Fe–Mg exchange reaction was calculated from a published thermodynamic data set and fixed to be ?120.72 (J kbar^?1 mol^?1). The regressed and obtained thermometer formulation is as follows: where T = temperature, P = pressure (kbar), A = 0.5 X_grs (X_prp ? X_alm ? X_sps), B = 0.5 X_grs (X_prp ? X_alm + X_sps), C = 0.5 (X_grs + X_sps) (X_prp ? X_alm), X_prp = Mg/(Fe²⁺ + Mn + Mg + Ca)^Grt, X_alm = Fe/(Fe²⁺ + Mn + Mg + Ca)^Grt, X_sps = Mn/(Fe²⁺ + Mn + Mg + Ca)^Grt, X_grs = Ca/(Fe²⁺ + Mn + Mg + Ca)^Grt, X_Mg^Cpx = Mg/(Al + Fe^total + Mg)^Cpx, X_Fe^Cpx = Fe²⁺/(Al + Fe^total + Mg)^Cpx, K_D = (Fe²⁺/Mg)^Grt/(Fe²⁺/Mg)^Cpx, Grt = garnet, Cpx = clinopyroxene. A test of this new formulation to the accumulated data gave results that are concordant with the experimental temperatures over the whole range of the experimental temperatures (800–1820 °C), with a standard deviation (1 sigma) of 74 °C. Previous formulations of the thermometer are inconsistent with the accumulated data set; they underestimate temperatures by about 100 °C at >1300 °C and overestimate by 100–200 °C at <1300 °C. In addition, they tend to overestimate temperatures for high‐Ca garnet (X_grs ≈ 0.30–0.50). This new formulation has been tested against previous formulations of the thermometer by application to natural eclogites. This gave temperatures some 20–100 °C lower than previous formulations.     

Metamorphic petrology of a high-pressure, low-temperature subduction complex in west-central Baja California, Mexico

Abstract The Western Baja terrane (WBt) of west-central Baja California is an uplifted subduction complex that is divided into smaller 'subterranes'on the basis of bounding faults and petrological differences. Each subterrane contains coherent Early Jurassic to Early Cretaceous sedimentary and mafic volcanic rocks (not melange) that have been metamorphosed under blueschist facies conditions. Key phases in metabasites and metaturbidites include jadeitic to acmitic clinopyroxene, sodic amphibole, lawsonite, aragonite, chlorite, titanite and white mica. Pressure indicators include the jadeite content of clinopyroxene and the presence of aragonite. Temperature indicators include the presence of lawsonite, the absence of greenschist facies minerals and results from vitrinite reflectance studies. Conditions at the peak of metamorphism were >8 kbar, 225–325°C for subterrane 1, 7–8 kbar, 170–220°C for subterrane 2, and 5–6 kbar, 175–200°C for subterrane 3; these correspond to cold geothermal gradients (6–9/km). Vein assemblages that include aegerine–jadeite and aegerine, albite, aragonite, lawsonite and sodic amphibole indicate uplift during continued cold conditions, probably during steady-state subduction.     

Clinopyroxene–a mineral telescoped through the processes of blueschist facies metamorphism

Abstract Textural evolution and compositional variation of clinopyroxenes in Ward Creek metabasites are described. Pyroxenes change, with increasing grade, from finegrained aggregates through fan-shaped medium-grained prisms to blocky coarse crystals. Characteristic features of metamorphic pyroxenes include: (1) the occurrence of coexisting pyroxene pairs, the compositions of which are used to delineate compositional gaps; (2) the existence of large compositional variations of pyroxenes, within a single specimen, which record a considerable span of P and/or T for crystallization; and, (3) the development of compositional trends in single specimens and in three metamorphic zones which are progressive in nature. The first formed clinopyroxene (Jd₂₀Aug₆₅Ac₁₅) in the lower lawsonite zone mimics the composition of relict igneous augite. It changes continuously, with increasing grade, at nearly constant low X_Jd content towards acmite. At a composition around Jd₂₀Aug₃₀Ac₅₀, the trend turns towards jadeite and intersects a solvus to form two coexisting clinopyroxenes in the middle lawsonite zone. At higher grade, the compositional gap becomes restricted towards the jadeite-omphacite join and clinopyroxene increases in X_Jd toward jadeite. A reversed compositional trend occurs at higher grade; clinopyroxenes decrease in jadeite component at nearly constant Aug/Ac ratio of 50/50 and finally become omphacite in the uppermost pumpellyite and epidote zones. The Na–Ca pyroxenes, close to the binary join Jd–Ac, occur in the lawsonite- and pumpellyite-zones, ranging from X_Jd= 1.0–0.30 together with Ab and Qz. The ubiquitous occurrence of aragonite at temperature estimates of 170–240° C by Taylor & Coleman (1968) for these zones does not support the low-temperature extrapolation of the Jd–Ab–Qz curve by Holland (1980). The estimated metamorphic field gradient indicates an inflection point at 7 kbar, 200° C. Below this, blueschist facies metamorphism proceeded under dominant pressure-increase from 4 to 7 kbar at nearly constant temperature, about 150–200° C, whereas at higher grade recrystallization, above the inflection point, the metamorphic temperature increased from 200 to 350° C at nearly constant pressure, about 7–8 kbar. Such an inflection point suggests the depth of underplating of either seamounts or accretionary packages in a subduction zone.     

High‐grade localized metasomatic alteration of the granitic gneiss surrounding a clinopyroxene‐rich pegmatoid dyke: Söndrum stenhuggeriet,Halmstad, SW Sweden

The Söndrum stone quarry (Halmstad, SW Sweden) exposes a transition from migmatized granitic gneissic country rock into a foliated clinopyroxene‐free granitic gneiss, and then a central pegmatoid dyke dominated by clinopyroxene megacrysts. This transition zone represents a fracture‐controlled, fluid‐alteration zone that developed under conditions of 650–700 °C and 790 MPa. Mineral chemical trends in F, Cl, Fe, Ti, Mn and Y are interpreted as documenting a fluid infiltration event associated with the formation of the pegmatoid dyke. Fluid inclusions from the pegmatoid dyke are CO₂ dominant, whereas in the surrounding country rock they are dominated by H₂O‐NaCl‐CaCl₂. Fluid inclusions from the intermediate foliated clinopyroxene‐free granitic gneiss are a mixture of the two types. The pegmatoid dyke appears to have originated from a high Ca activity, Fe‐Mg enriched, fluid‐rich granitic melt with a CO₂ component, which was emplaced along a tectonic fracture in a regionally migmatized granitic gneiss in the lower crust. This was accompanied by limited partial melting of the surrounding granitic gneiss. The Ca activity of the melt was high enough to allow for the formation of clinopyroxene megacrysts as opposed to orthopyroxene. H₂O‐enriched fluids expelled from the crystallizing pegmatoid dyke, which retained the majority of the CO₂ helping to stabilize the clinopyroxene. The expelled fluids coarsened and chemically affected the surrounding country rock resulting in trends in the mineral and fluid inclusion chemistry seen today in the foliated and regional granitic gneiss.

Equilibrium between Clinopyroxene and Host Rocks: Implication for the Magmatic Source and Evolution of Alkali Basalts of the Taohekou Formation in the Northern Daba Mountains, China

The Taohekou Formation is a volcanic-sedimentary terrane formed in the early Silurian in the northern Daba Mountains, China. The volcanic rocks, with dominant alkali basalts and minor mantle xenoliths, are enriched in clinopyroxene phenocrysts. Geochemical analysis shows that the composition of clinopyroxenes from different lithofacies has a close affinity. There is a liner correlation present in composition of clinopyroxenes (including phenocryst, microcrystal and xenocryst) from coarse porphyritic basalts, pillow or fine porphyritic basalts to amygdaloidal basalts. All the clinopyroxenes, except the clinopyroxenes in mantle xenoliths, show a similar pattern of trace elements and REE, which indicates that they are likely products of successive fractional crystallization from cognate magma. Clinopyroxenes in mantle xenoliths, however, are mantle xenocrysts. The crystallization pressure of clinopyroxenes gradually decreases from mantle xenolith, deep-seated xenocryst, coarse porphritic basalts, pillow or fine porphritic basalts, to amygdaloidal basalts, which are 1.92-4.41 GPa, 1.18-2.36 GPa, 1.13-2.05 GPa, 0.44-0.62 GPa and 0.14-0.28 GPa respectively. Calculation results suggest that the primary magma originated from a mantle region deeper than 68 km and stagnates in intervals of 37-68 km, 15-20 km and 5-9 km during its ascent. The alkali basalts are characterized by increasing concentrations of Si and alkaline with the magmatic evolution. Meanwhile, they are markedly enriched in LREE, and the patterns of trace elements and REE are similar to those of oceanic island basalts.     

Mantle melting beneath the Southwest Indian Ridge: signals from clinopyroxene in abyssal peridotites

The mineral chemistry and texture of clinopyroxenes in peridotite from the Kingkong tectonic zone of the Southwest Indian Ridge segment in an effort to constrain mantle melting beneath this slow-spreading ridge are reported. There are three types of clinopyroxenes in the abyssal peridotites： coarse-grained, intergranu- lar and exsolved. The compositional variations among these three types suggest that the coarse-grained clinopyroxene is a mantle-derived source. The A1, Na and Ti contents and the Na/Ti ratio of the coarse- grained clinopyroxene may be used to monitor the degree of partial melting, combined with the contradis- tinction with Spinel Cr#, which is calculated to be between 7.9% and 14.9%, and may represent low degrees of melting in the global ocean ridge system. The along-axis compositional variations in the coarse-grained clinopyroxene suggest that the degree of partial melting is primarily controlled by the transform faults on both sides of the ridge. Nonetheless, the northwestern side of the ridge may be affected by a hypothesised detachment fault as documented by the calculated P-T conditions. Simultaneously high Na and low Ti con- tents in the coarse-grained clinoovroxene points to mantle heterogeneities along the ridge axis.
