Ultramafic rocks can be divided into 5 principal geotectonic groups, as follows: (1) Layered gabbro-norite-peridotite masses, commonly associated with all ages of terrane, possibly connected with accretionary plate margins. (2) Concentrically zoned Alaska-type bodies, possibly associated with consuming plate margins. (3) Ultramafic lavas and associated intrusions, nearly exclusively in Archaean terranes, of uncertain tectonic position. (4) Alpine peridotites, in linear Phanerozoic and Late Precambrian deformed belts, indicative of activity both at accretionary and consuming plate margins. (5) Nodules and other ultramafic rocks associated with alkalic volcanic centers, which in some cases represent mid-plate activity, as well as direct samples of mantle rocks underlying the volcanic area. A key question in interpretation of the geotectonic significance of ultramafic rocks is the nature or even existence of plate-tectonic activity prior to that reflected in the present ocean basins. 相似文献

Published data on extremely magnesian olivine (> 96 mol.% forsterite) in igneous rocks were generalized and compared with data of new high-precision electron probe microanalyses of olivine from oxidized lavas of the Tolbachik Volcano (Kamchatka), chromitites from the Ray-Iz deposit (Russia), alkaline ultrabasic lavas from San Venanzo volcanoes (Italy), and skarns from the Kuh-i-Lal deposit (Tajikistan). All the found olivines resulted from low-temperature processes, such as subsurface oxidation, interaction with carbonates, and subsolidus re-equilibration. Low-temperature formation of olivine is reflected in its structure (hematite lamellae and abundance of inclusions of ore minerals) and abnormal contents of minor components (Mn, Ni, and Ca). The Mg content of olivine increases under the influence of postmagmatic processes and can be manifested in different rocks. This gives grounds to refine the genesis of olivine of exotic composition (93-96 mol.% forsterite) in some kimberlites, komatiites, and peridotites. 相似文献

Aragonite mineralization was observed in serpentinized peridotites from the Romanche and Vema Fracture Zones in the Atlantic and the Owen Fracture Zone in the Indian Ocean, either in veins or as radial aggregates in cavities within the serpentinites. Evidence of incipient dissolution of the aragonite crystals was observed in one case. The aragonites tend to have lower Mg content (< 0.03%) and higher Sr content (> 0.95%) relative to other marine aragonites. Their , and isotopic ratios suggest the aragonite was deposited at ocean floor temperatures from solutions derived from sea water circulating in fissures and fractures within the ultramafic rocks. The ratios of the serpentines indicate serpentinization occurred at higher temperatures, probably deeper in the crust. Low-T reactions between circulating seawater and Mg-silicates (primarily serpentine and pyroxenes) caused high pH and enrichment of Mg and Ca in the solution, conditions favoring carbonate precipitation. Aragonite was formed rather than calcite presumably because the high Mg2+ concentration in the solution inhibited calcite precipitation. The high Sr content of the aragonites is probably related, at least in part, to their low temperature of formation. Opaque mineral grains containing over 8% NiO and over 40% MnO were observed concentrated along the margins of some of the aragonite veins, suggesting that Ni is one of the elements mobilized during reactions between ultramafic rocks and circulating seawater. 相似文献

Precise determination of the partitioning of Mg and Fe2+ between olivine and ultramafic melt has been made at pressures from 5 to 13 GPa using a MA-8 type multi-anvil high-pressure apparatus (PREM) installed at Earthquake Research Institute, University of Tokyo. A very short rhenium capsule (<100 μm sample thickness) was adopted to minimize temperature variation within the sample container. Synthetic gels with the composition of the upper mantle peridotite were used as starting materials to promote the homogeneity. Analyses of quenched melts and coexisting olivines were made with an electron probe microanalyzer. The obtained partition coefficient, KD [=(FeO/MgO)ol/(FeO/MgO)melt], decreases from 0.35 to 0.25 with increasing pressure from 5 to 13 GPa, suggesting a negative correlation between pressure and KD above 5 GPa. Our result is consistent with a parabolic relationship between KD and degree of polymerization (NBO/T) of melts reported by previous studies at lower pressures. The negative correlation between pressure and KD suggests that olivine crystallizing in a magma ocean becomes more Mg-rich with depth and that primary magmas generated in the upper mantle become more Fe-rich with depth than previously estimated. 相似文献

The concentrations of the trace elements Na, K, Rb and Sr and the isotopic composition of Sr have been measured in a suite of ultramafic rocks, including alpine-type intrusions, inclusions in basalts and kimberlite pipes, zones from stratiform sheets, and a mica peridotite. From these data and those available in the literature the following conclusions can be drawn. Alpine-type ultramafic material appears to be residual in nature and can be neither the source material for the derivation of basalts nor the refractory residue of modern basalts. Alpine-type ultramafic intrusions appear to have no relationship with ultramafic zones in stratiform sheets and were probably derived from the upper mantle. A genetic relationship exists between basalts and their ultramafic inclusions, but it is extremely doubtful that this inclusion material could give rise to basalts by partial fusion. There is a possible genetic relationship between basalts and ultramafic inclusions in kimberlite pipes, and this ultramafic material is a potential source for the derivation of basalts. Ultramafic inclusions in basalts are probably not fragments of an alpine-type ultramafic zone in the mantle. An attempt has been made to synthesize the data and interpretations of this study by way of speculations on the role of ultramafic rocks in the differentiation history of the earth. 相似文献

Strain-rate estimation using fractal analysis of quartz grains in naturally deformed rocks 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

The area-perimeter fractal dimension (D) of quartz grains has earlier been proposed as a strain-rate gauge based on experimental
deformation of quartz aggregates. To test the application in naturally deformed rocks, D is calculated in (a) three quartzites
belonging to the Lunavada Group of rocks (Aravalli Mountain Belt, NW India) that developed textures between 420–600°C and
(b) one quartz reef sample from the Malanjkhand Granite (Central India), which underwent dynamic recrystallization between
250–400°C. Using the above T ranges and calculated D values, strain-rates are calculated for the two sets of samples. A 10−12.7 s−1 strain rate at 250°C is calculated for the quartz reef sample. However, at higher temperatures the calculated strain-rate
is >10−10 s−1 for the quartz reef and the quartzite samples. The quartzites show evidence of dynamic recrystallization by grain boundary
migration (GBM) and subgrain rotation (SGR), while the quartz reef is replete with evidence of bulging (BLG) recrystallization.
T and calculated strainrates are plotted on available recrystallization map of quartz. It is demonstrated that whilst the
T/strain-rate of the quartzites does not fall in the region of GBM and SGR, the T/strain-rate of the quartz reef falls in
the BLG region. The problems with strain-rate calculations using area perimeter fractal dimension are discussed. It is concluded
that the method of strain-rate calculation can be used only for lower T. 相似文献

Calcic amphiboles are observed in ultramafic rocks that have equilibrated under a broad span of geological conditions and might prove to be good indicators of metamorphic grade if their stabilities could be determined as a function of their compositions. Experiments were performed on the stability of tremolite plus forsterite in the system H2O-CaO-MgO-SiO2 from 5 to 20 kbar. A univariant curve was fitted to the experimental brackets using volume, water fugacity, and heat capacity data. The results indicate that the maximum stability of tremolite in the presence of forsterite is about 825° C at 5 kbar. Addition of Al2O3 to this system increases the stability of tremolitic amphibole by only 20°–40° C and induces solubility of 5–7 wt.% Al2O3 in the amphibole, as determined from quantitative SEM analyses of individual amphibole crystals. Thus substitution of the tschermakite component (Ca2(Mg3Al2) (Si6Al2) O22(OH)2) alone cannot lead to the greatly enhanced Al2O3 contents or thermal stability of natural calcic amphiboles. Comparison of the results from this study with experimental results from other studies on synthetic calcic amphiboles indicates that the high thermal stability of natural amphiboles is strongly linked with the substitution of alkalies (Na in particular) in the form of the component Na-Ca2(Mg4Al) (Si6Al2)O22(OH)2 (pargasite). Accordingly, experimental data from studies on pargasite have been combined with the appropriate univariant curves to obtain a phase diagram for amphibole-bearing ultramafic rocks modelled by the system H2O-Na2O-CaO-MgO-Al2O3-SiO2. 相似文献

超基性岩的地质过程提供了地幔岩在造山带形成过程中所作的贡献,并记录了地质构造以及壳-幔之间相互作用的信息。根据现有的研究,可将俯冲带橄榄岩大致分为陆下地幔橄榄岩、基性-超基性堆晶杂岩和大洋地幔橄榄岩。文中简要评述了不同类型造山带橄榄岩的岩石学和地球化学特征。不同类型的橄榄岩所经历的地质历史不同,而留有不同的岩石学和地球化学特征。大多数造山带橄榄岩经历了高压-超高压变质作用,并受到蛇纹岩化等多期次流体和融体的交代作用,因而俯冲造山带的辉石岩和橄榄岩无论在岩石学的组成、结构和地球化学等特征方面通常表现得复杂多变。 相似文献

The ultramafic rocks of New Caledonia contain a diversity of disseminated ore minerals in non-economic amounts. Eighteen opaque minerals are described herein with pentlandite, millerite and heazelwoodite most prominent. Several new or unusual mineralogical features are recorded. These include an eutectic intergrowth between pentlandite and primary chalcocite, reaction between pentlandite and chalcocite to form chalcopyrite and millerite, exsolution intergrowth between pentlandite and millerite, between pentlandite and mackinawite and between millerite and cubanite. In the formation of the garnieritic ores of New Caledonia some of the nickel would appear to have been derived from the breakdown of disseminated sulphides as well as from the nickel inherent in the silicate minerals of the ultramafic rocks.

Many carbonaceous chondrites contain discrete olivine fragments that have been considered to be primitive material, i.e. direct condensates from the solar nebula or pre-solar system material. Olivine occurring in chondrules and as isolated grains in C3(0) chondrites has been characterized chemically and petrographically. Type I chondrules contain homogeneous forsterite grains that exhibit a negative correlation between FeO and CaO. Type II chondrules contain zoned fayalite olivines in which FeO is positively correlated with CaO and MnO. The isolated olivines in C3(0) chondrites form two compositional populations identical to olivines in the two types of porphyritic olivine chondrules in the same meteorites. Isolated olivines contain trapped melt inclusions similar in composition to glassy mesostasis between olivines in chondrules. Such glasses can be produced by fractional crystallization of olivine and minor spinel in the parent chondrule melts if plagioclase does not nucleate. The isolated olivine grains are apparently clastic fragments of chondrules. Some similarities between olivines in C3(0), C2, and Cl chondrites may suggest that olivine grains in all these meteorites crystallized from chondrule melts. 相似文献

Fine (?2 μm), Ni-poor (? 10 mg/g) Fe-Ni grains are common inclusions in the olivine in porphyritic chondrules in unequilibrated ordinary chondrites. The olivine grains appear to be relicts that survived chondrule formation without melting. The most common occurrence of this “dusty” metal is in the core of olivine grains having clear Fe-poor rims and surrounded either by small euhedral clear olivine grains zoned with FeO increasing toward the border of the grains or by large elongated Fe-poor orthopyroxenes oriented parallel to the chondrule surface and enclosing small round olivine grains. Various amounts of Ca, Al-rich glass are always present. The dusty metal is occasionally found in the rims of olivine grains either isolated in the matrix or included in chondrules. A rare occurrence is as bands in highly deformed olivines.This dusty metal appears to be the product of in situ reduction of FeO from the host olivine. Among the possible reductants H2 or carbonaceous matter (CH2)n seem the most likely. Hydrogen may have been implanted by solar-wind or solar-flare irradiation, but this requires that dissipation of nebular gas occurred before the end of the chondrule formation process. Carbonaceous matter may have been implanted by shock. Less likely reductants are nebular CO or C dissolved in the olivine lattice. The large relict olivine grains may be nebular condensates or, more likely, fragments broken off earlier generations of chondrules. 相似文献

Thermodynamic constraints on hydrogen generation during serpentinization of ultramafic rocks 总被引:7,自引:0,他引:7
In recent years, serpentinized ultramafic rocks have received considerable attention as a source of H2 for hydrogen-based microbial communities and as a potential environment for the abiotic synthesis of methane and other hydrocarbons within the Earth’s crust. Both of these processes rely on the development of strongly reducing conditions and the generation of H2 during serpentinization, which principally results from reaction of water with ferrous iron-rich minerals contained in ultramafic rocks. In this report, numerical models are used to investigate the potential influence of chemical thermodynamics on H2 production during serpentinization. The results suggest that thermodynamic constraints on mineral stability and on the distribution of Fe among mineral alteration products as a function of temperature are likely to be major factors controlling the extent of H2 production. At high temperatures (>∼315 °C), rates of serpentinization reactions are fast, but H2 concentrations may be limited by the attainment of stable thermodynamic equilibrium between olivine and the aqueous fluid. Conversely, at temperatures below ∼150 °C, H2 generation is severely limited both by slow reaction kinetics and partitioning of Fe(II) into brucite. At 35 MPa, peak temperatures for H2 production occur at 200-315 °C, indicating that the most strongly reducing conditions will be attained during alteration within this temperature range. Fluids interacting with peridotite in this temperature range are likely to be the most productive sources of H2 for biology, and should also produce the most favorable environments for abiotic organic synthesis. The results also suggest that thermodynamic constraints on Fe distribution among mineral alteration products have significant implications for the timing of magnetization of the ocean crust, and for the occurrence of native metal alloys and other trace minerals during serpentinization. 相似文献

The ore and accessory chrome-spinels from metamorphosed dunites of the Cr-bearing Klyuchevskoi alpine-type ultramafic massif are studied. As a result of use of thermomagnetic analysis in the range of 4–900 K, magnetic resonance spectroscopy, and magnetic-force microscopy, secondary magnetic Fe3+-enriched microphases chaotically distributed in the primary nonmagnetic mineral were revealed for the first time in accessory chrome-spinels. It was established that the metamorphosed accessory chrome-spinels produce the magnetic properties of the host rocks and the primary nonmagnetic chrome-spinels forming ore bodies remains almost unaltered. This originates the contrast of magnetic properties between the ore body and host rocks and provides the geomagnetic anomaly in the ore-hosting zone. 相似文献

Early Caledonides in the Olkhon region of western Cisbaikalia, being part of the folded framing of the Siberian craton, are a unique geologic object for studying processes of mantle–crust interaction at deep levels of the Earth’s crust. This paper describes restitic ultramafic bodies and boudins spatially confined to faults (blastomylonite sutures), as well as synkinematic granites related to amphibolite facies of metamorphism. Estimates are given for the PT-conditions of metamorphic rocks from the folded framing of the ultramafic bodies, the chemical and mineral compositions of ultramafic rocks, blastomylonites and synkinematic granites, and the results of U–Pb and Ar–Ar isotopic dating. Particular attention is paid to the thermal history of tectonic exposure of the ultramafic bodies as relics of the paleo-oceanic crust in the Early Caledonian collisional system of western Cisbaikalia. 相似文献
