应用探针分析所获化学成分(加以一定限制的),对辽宁宽甸新生代碱性玄武岩中3个巨晶单斜辉石进行晶体结构测定与修正。最终R因子分别为0.0239,0.0213和0.0196。结构中M2分裂为M 2和M 2′,分别由Ca~(2+)、Na~+等较大半径阳离子和Mg~(2+)、Fe~(2+)等较小半径阳离子占据。通过键价分析,阐明了M2′相对于M2的位移趋向及其配位情形。此外,讨论了Al的占位及其成因意义。     

天然单斜辉石中Cr ~(3+)的晶位对称性和偏振吸收谱的分析

通过对单斜辉石系列钠铬辉石-硬玉样品中Cr~(3+)偏振吸收谱的谱带强度、形状及位置的分析,提出:这类矿物晶体中Cr~(3+)应处于四角畸变D_4对称晶场的晶位。由此计算出的谱带位置和观测结果一致。说明了D_4晶位假设更优于Khomenko等提出的三角畸变C_(3v)对称假说。     

北京周口店岩体中钾长石巨晶的特征及成因

花岗岩类岩石中的钾长石巨晶,有的认为是斑晶,有的认为是变斑晶。本文通过对北京周口店岩体中钾长石巨晶的野外产状、显微结构、矿物化学等特征研究,证明巨晶是在岩浆结晶作用的早—中期阶段,直接从不饱和水的熔体中生长而成的斑晶。钾长石巨晶多见于较贫钾长石组分的花岗岩类岩石(石英二长岩-花岗闪长岩)中,其原因可能是,与花岗岩和白岗岩岩浆相比,这种成分的岩浆温度较高,粘度较小,组分扩散较快,钾长石的成核速率较小,而生长速度较大。周口店岩体中钾长石巨晶的大小和含量的变异,可能主要受冷凝梯度dT/dt的控制。     

碱性玄武岩中钛金云母巨晶的研究

内蒙古集宁新生代玄武岩中橄榄岩包体和巨晶的发现及意义

内蒙古集宁新生代玄武岩产于华北克拉通北缘，属于广义的“汉诺坝玄武岩”。首次在三义堂附近的碱性玄武岩中发现了大量的橄榄岩包体、辉石和长石以及少量的含钛磁铁矿巨晶。包体主要是尖晶石二辉橄榄岩，造岩矿物为橄榄石＋斜方辉石＋单斜辉石＋尖晶石，辉石巨晶主要为透辉石和普通辉石，长石巨晶主要是歪长石和少量斜长石。1．5GPa条件下，尖晶石二辉橄榄岩样品所记录的平衡温度与汉诺坝相近，集中于950℃左右，大体上反映了华北克拉通北缘大陆岩石圈地幔尖晶石相部分的温度状态。单斜辉石巨晶的结晶温压大于幔源包体的平衡温压，表明巨晶的来源深度可能大于包体。包体的结构及矿物成分分析表明，这些包体是玄武质岩浆上升过程中偶然捕获岩石圈地幔的岩石碎块。二辉橄榄岩包体中橄榄石高Mg#值（89．5～91．7）和较高的NiO含量（0．29％～0．55％），暗示集宁玄武岩中的橄榄岩包体来自较高熔融程度的岩石圈地幔。     

Crustal Evolution of Island-Arc Ultramafic Magma: Galmoenan Pyroxenite-Dunite Plutonic Complex, Koryak Highland (Far East Russia)

Alaskan-type platinum-bearing plutons and potassium-enrichedmafic to ultramafic volcanic rocks are temporally and spatiallyassociated within the Late Cretaceous–Paleocene Achaivayam–Valaginskiiintra-oceanic palaeo-arc system, allochthonously present inthe Koryak Highland and Kamchatka Peninsula (Far East Russia).The compositions of the parental magmas to the Alaskan-typecomplexes are estimated using the Galmoenan plutonic complexas an example. This complex, composed of dunites, pyroxenitesand minor gabbros, is the largest (20 km³) in the system andthe best studied owing to associated platinum placer deposits.The compositions of the principal mineral phases in the Galmoenanintrusive rocks [olivine (Fo_79–92), clinopyroxene (1–3·5wt % Al₂O₃, 0·1–0·5 wt % TiO₂), and Cr-spinel(5–15 wt % Al₂O₃ and 0·3–0·7 wt %TiO₂)] are typical of liquidus assemblages in primitive island-arcmagmas in intra-oceanic settings, and closely resemble the mineralcompositions in the Achaivayam–Valaginskii ultramaficvolcanic rocks. The temporal and spatial association of intrusiveand extrusive units, and the similarity of their mineral compositions,suggest that both suites were formed from similar parental magmas.The composition of the parental magma for the Galmoenan plutonicrocks is estimated using previously reported data for the Achaivayam–Valaginskiiultramafic volcanic rocks and phenocryst-hosted melt inclusions.Quantitative simulation of crystallization of the parental magmain the Galmoenan magma chamber shows that the compositions ofthe cumulate units are best modelled by fractional crystallizationwith periodic magma replenishment. The model calculations reproducewell the observed mineral assemblages and the trace elementabundances in clinopyroxene. Based upon the estimated compositionof the parental magmas and their mantle source, we considerthat fluxing of a highly refractory mantle wedge (similar tothe source of boninites) by chlorine-rich aqueous fluids isprimarily responsible for both high degrees of partial meltingand the geochemical characteristics of the magmas, includingtheir enrichment in platinum-group elements.

Origin of clinopyroxene megacrysts in volcanic rocks from the North China Craton: a comparison study with megacrysts worldwide

ABSTRACT

Clinopyroxene megacrysts in volcanic rocks can provide substantial information on the evolution of the magmatic system at depth. Although considerable attention has been paid to these crystals, their origin is not yet completely resolved. The clinopyroxene megacrysts worldwide can be divided into two major types in general: the green Cr-diopside type and the black Al-augite type. There is a consensus view that the Cr-diopside megacrysts are mantle xenocrysts, whereas two contrasting opinions exist regarding the origin of the black Al-augite megacrysts. One favours a cognate origin, viewing them as crystallization products of the host magmas under high-pressure; while the other argues that they are xenocrysts crystallized from previous alkali basalts or fragments of mantle peridotites, pyroxenites or pegmatite veins. A review study on the clinopyroxene megacrysts in Meso-Cenozoic volcanic rocks from the North China Craton (NCC) and their comparison with those worldwide provides new constraints on their origin, namely, the Cr-diopside megacrysts, as previously thought, are all xenocrysts, representing disaggregated clinopyroxene crystals from clinopyroxene-rich mantle rocks. Contrary to the formerly proposed cognate origin, the Al-augite megacrysts are also xenocrysts, having no direct genetic link to their host rocks. They crystallized from melts that have formed earlier than the host magmas, and probably accumulated in a magma chamber or occurred as sheets or veins filling a fracture network surrounding a magma chamber in the upper mantle. During the subsequent eruption of the host lavas, these previously formed crystals were incorporated into the magma and were brought up to the surface.     

Hydrogen diffusion in clinopyroxene: dehydration experiments

Hydrogen diffusivity of one clinopyroxene megacryst from Nüshan, eastern China parallel to [001]* crystallographic direction was measured by high-temperature sequential dehydration experiments at 950℃ and 850℃, which was (6.5± 1.5)×10-12(m2/s) and (1.8± 0.7)×10-12(m2/s) respectively. From these results and the previous published data, it seems that the correlation between hydrogen diffusivity and Fe content suggested by Dyar et al. (1996) possibly does not exist. Clinopyroxene megacrysts from alkali basalts appear to be possible reliable samples for the study of the water evolution and hydrogen isotope compositions of the upper mantle.     

冲绳海槽玄武岩中单斜辉石的特征及其意义

冲绳海槽海底玄武岩中存在着三种不同世代的单斜辉石,即斑晶,微晶和基质辉石,它们的平均粒径分别约为400μm,30μm和5μm。斑晶辉石在电子探针下可见到明显的核部与边部之分;微晶辉石无明显的环带构造;基质辉石粒径细小但数量较大。这三个世代的辉石在成分上差异较为明显,从斑晶辉石的核部→边部和微晶辉石→基质辉石,成分从富铁向富镁,钙方向演化,这与封闭体系的辉石成分演化趋势正好相反,辉石的形态和成分特征反映出该玄武岩浆存在岩浆混合的特征,它们也可反演该地幔岩浆的活动过程;源自上地幔的拉斑玄武岩浆,在从源区向浅部岩浆房上升,运移过程中,受到携带相对富铁单斜辉石的较酸性岩浆的注入,混合;在浅部岩浆房中,混合岩浆结晶形成斑晶的边部和微晶辉石;基质辉石则是岩浆喷出洋底后淬冷结晶的结果,冲 槽玄武岩中三个世代的单斜辉石较好的完整记录了地幔岩浆后系列活动过程。     

Exsolution Lamellae in Olivine Grains of Dunite Units from Different Types of Mafic‐Ultramafic Complexes

Exsolution microstructures in olivine grains from dunite units in a few selected tectonic environments are reported here. They include lamellae of clinopyroxene and clinopyroxene-magnetite intergrowth in the Gaositai and Yellow Hill Alaskan-type complexes, clinopyroxene-magnetite intergrowth in the K?z?lda? ophiolite, and chromite lamellae in the Hongshishan mafic-ultramafic intrusive complex. These lamellae commonly occur as needle-or rod-like features and are oriented in olivine grains. The host olivine grains have Fo contents of 92.5–92.6 in the Gaositai complex, 86.5–90.1 in the Yellow Hill complex, 93.2–93.4 in the K?z?lda? ophiolite and 86.9–88.3 in the Hongshishan complex. Clinopyroxene in the rod-like intergrowth exsolved in olivine grains in the Gaositai and Yellow Hill is diopside with similar major element compositions of Ca O(23.6–24.3 wt%), SiO_2(52.2–54.0 wt%), Al_2O_3(0.67–2.15 wt%), Cr_2O_3(0.10–0.42 wt%) and Na_2O(0.14–0.26 wt%). It falls into the compositional field of hydrothermal clinopyroxene and its origin is thus probably related to reaction between dunite and fluids. The enrichment of the fluids in Ca~(2+), Fe~(3+), Cr~(3+) and Na+, resulted in elevated concentrations of these cations in olivine solid solutions via the reaction. With decreasing temperature, the olivine solid solutions altered to an intergrowth of magnetite and clinopyroxene. The Fe~(3+) and Cr~(3+) preferentially partitioned into magnetite, while Ca~(2+) and Na+ entered clinopyroxene. Since the studied Alaskan-type complexes and ophiolite formed in a subduction environment, the fluids were probably released from the subducted slab. In contrast, the exsolved chromite in olivine grains from the Hongshishan complex that formed in post-orogenic extension setting can be related to olivine equilibrated with Cr-bearing liquid. Similarly, these lamellae have all been observed in serpentine surrounding olivine grains, indicating genetic relations with serpentinization.
