山东蒙阴金伯利岩中铬铁矿电子探针波谱分析

铬铁矿是金伯利岩型金刚石矿床中主要的指示性矿物之一.准确分析出铬铁矿化学组分中FeO、MgO、Cr2O3、Al2O3、TiO2含量,不但对铬铁矿定名起决定性作用,对金伯利岩型金刚石矿床找矿也具有重要的指示意义.利用电子探针波谱技术对铬铁矿主量化学元素分析,通过所测样品微区化学成分含量推测矿物名称.25件单矿物样品微区化学成分分析结果统计显示：单矿物中主要化学成分FeO为15.666%~29.971%,MgO为7.286%~11.477%,Cr2O3为56.421%~71.111%;次要化学成分MnO为0.012%~0.382%,Al2O3为0.871%~8.993%,TiO2为0.074%~3.375%.矿物化学成分总量为99.117%~100.877%,单矿物化学成分与铬铁矿化学组分相当.根据矿物人工重砂鉴定特征及A、B离子占位情况,可以确定所测样品为镁铬铁矿.     

X射线粉晶衍射仪在大理岩鉴定与分类中的应用

大理岩主要有方解石大理岩、白云石大理岩和菱镁矿大理岩三种。以往大理岩是依据偏光显微镜下观察岩石结构构造及矿物成分进行分类定名,由于方解石、白云石、菱镁矿都属于三方晶系,具有闪突起、高级白干涉色、一轴晶负光性和菱形解理等相同晶体光学特征,偏光显微镜下区分十分困难。为了准确鉴定大理岩中碳酸盐矿物种类及其相对含量,本文利用岩石薄片偏光显微镜和X射线粉晶衍射技术对32件大理岩岩石样品进行分析测试。岩石薄片鉴定结果表明:大理岩造岩矿物主要有方解石、白云石、菱镁矿、石英、斜长石、白云母、黑云母、绿泥石、黏土和金属矿物。根据岩石结构构造及矿物组分特征,可把32件大理岩样品划分为方解石大理岩、长英质方解石大理岩、石英绿泥白云石大理岩、白云石大理岩、云英质白云石大理岩和菱镁矿大理岩等15个类型。X射线粉晶衍射分析表明:大理岩造岩矿物主要有方解石、白云石、菱镁矿、石英、斜长石、钾长石、云母、绿泥石、滑石和蒙脱石。综合分析认为:岩石薄片偏光显微镜鉴定技术很难区分方解石、白云石和菱镁矿等碳酸盐矿物,以及细小的石英、钾长石和斜长石、滑石和白云母等鳞片状硅酸盐矿物;X射线粉晶衍射分析技术不仅能准确检测出大理岩中方解石、白云石和菱镁矿等碳酸盐矿物种类及相对含量(方解石、白云石和菱镁矿的X射线衍射主峰有明显差异,d值分别为0.303 nm、0.288 nm和0.274 nm),而且能够有效鉴别岩石中粉砂级斜长石、钾长石与石英(三种矿物的X射线衍射主峰d值分别为0.319 nm、0.324 nm、0.334 nm);且能区分蒙脱石、绿泥石、云母和滑石等层状硅酸盐矿物(四种硅酸盐矿物的X射线衍射主峰d值分别为1.400 nm、0.705 nm、0.989 nm、0.938 nm)。综合岩石薄片偏光显微镜鉴定和X射线粉晶衍射分析结果,最终确定32件大理岩样品划分为22个岩石类型。研究认为:仅根据岩石薄片偏光显微镜鉴定或X射线粉晶衍射技术其中一种方法不能准确鉴定大理岩岩石,应将大理岩岩石野外观察、岩石薄片鉴定和X射线粉晶衍射技术结合起来,才能准确确定大理岩岩石类型。

徐淮早白垩世埃达克质岩中含橄榄石单斜辉石岩的成因及其岩石学意义

报道了徐淮地区早白垩世埃达克质岩中首次发现的含橄榄石单斜辉石岩捕虏体的岩相学与矿物化学资料,该类捕虏体显示堆积结构、块状构造,主要由单斜辉石(~80%)、斜方辉石(~5%)、橄榄石(~5%)和普通角闪石(~10%)组成.橄榄石外侧发育有斜方辉石反应边,角闪石沿辉石粒间分布,呈嵌晶结构.矿物化学分析结果表明:橄榄石的镁橄榄石分子值(Fo)=77.7~79.3,Ni=623×10-6~773×10-6;斜方辉石的Mg#=75.6~80.2,Cr=161×10-6~684×10-6,Ni=79×10-6~708×10-6;单斜辉石的Mg#=84.5~86.4,CaO=21.59%~23.13%,Al2O3=1.72%~2.44%.上述矿物与中、新生代玄武岩中橄榄石、斜方辉石和单斜辉石斑晶以及堆积成因辉石岩中的斜方辉石和单斜辉石成分类似.此外,单斜辉石的稀土配分型式以相对富含中稀土元素的上凸型为特征,稀土元素含量较低(∑REE=10.14×10-6~12.71×10-6),无明显的铕异常(δEu=0.90~1.16),类似于新生代玄武岩中单斜辉石斑晶.捕虏体中的普通角闪石的Mg#=74.0~80.4、SiO2=43.2%~44.5%、Na2O=2.04%~2.29%,稀土元素分馏不明显,显示亏损高场强元素(HFSEs,如Nb、Ta、Zr、Hf),富集Sr、Rb、Ba的特征,与新生代玄武岩中角闪石捕虏晶成分不同.结合其嵌晶结构,普通角闪石应是寄主岩浆贯入结晶的产物.综合上述特征,可以看出含橄榄石单斜辉石捕虏体为镁铁质岩浆高压堆晶成因.结合华北克拉通东部早白垩世双峰式火山岩组合的出现,推断含橄榄石单斜辉石岩捕虏体可能是早白垩世基性岩浆底侵的产物.     

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.     

X射线粉晶衍射法在变粒岩鉴定与分类中的应用

变粒岩的鉴定通常以显微镜鉴定技术为主,但在显微镜下区分颗粒细小的长石、石英及绿泥石、蒙脱石、云母等层状硅酸盐矿物十分困难,仅通过显微鉴定技术对变粒岩进行定名可能产生较大误差,这对地质填图和原岩恢复工作会造成一些偏差,导致得出错误的地质结论。随着X射线衍射分析技术的发展,该技术已广泛应用于矿物学和岩石学的研究,本研究将结合X射线粉晶衍射技术,对显微镜下难以区分的细小矿物进行鉴定。共选用23件变粒岩样品,利用X射线粉晶衍射分析和显微镜岩石薄片鉴定技术,对变粒岩矿物组分进行检测,用X射线粉晶衍射矿物半定量分析结果验证岩石薄片鉴定结果准确性。显微镜岩石薄片鉴定结果与X射线粉晶衍射物相分析结果对比显示,10件样品定名一致,其余13件样品详细定名有差异。通过分析产生差异的原因,可以认为显微镜岩石薄片鉴定优势在于能确定岩石结构和构造,以及常见矿物组分;X射线粉晶衍射法的优势在于能检测出显微镜下较难区分的细小石英和长石颗粒的相对含量,并能检测出颗粒较小的绿泥石、蒙脱石及云母等层状硅酸盐矿物,该方法对含量较少、颗粒较细的矿物检测效果较好。实验证明将显微岩石薄片鉴定技术和X射线粉晶衍射技术相结合,才能更准确对变粒岩进行定名,为地学研究提供更符合客观实际的技术数据和分析结论。

Modification of the subcontinental mantle beneath East Serbia: Evidence from orthopyroxene-rich xenoliths

Orthopyroxene-rich olivine websterite xenoliths (OWB₂) in Palaeogene basanites in East Serbia are mostly composed of tabular low-Al₂O₃ orthopyroxene (> 70 vol.%, Mg# 85–87) containing tiny Cr spinel inclusions. Orthopyroxene shows a slightly U-shaped primitive mantle-normalized trace element pattern with strong peaks at U and Pb, similar to that of orthopyroxene from normal regional peridotitic mantle. In between the orthopyroxenes are interstitial spaces composed of partially altered olivine (Mg# 85–87), clinopyroxene, Ti-rich spinel, Mg-bearing calcite, K-feldspar, apatite, ilmenite and relicts of a hydrous mineral. Clinopyroxene appears as selvages around orthopyroxene and as coarser euhedral crystals. Trace element patterns of the clinopyroxene selvages resemble those of adjacent orthopyroxene, whereas the coarser ones have flatter and more LREE- and LILE-enriched patterns, similar to that of metasomatic clinopyroxene. The OWB₂ xenoliths are interpreted as having formed in two stages. During Stage I orthopyroxene crystallized, along with some spinel, olivine and probably hydrous phase(s). This original OWB₂ lithology was a hydrous olivine-bearing orthopyroxenite that crystallised from subduction-related SiO₂-saturated, boninite-like magmas. During Stage II the interstitial minerals formed due to infiltration of a low-SiO₂, high-CaO and CO₂-rich external melt, accompanied by decomposition of original H₂O-bearing minerals. The calculated composition of the infiltrating liquid corresponds to a mafic alkaline melt similar to the basanitic host but more enriched in CO₂, LREE and LILE. Metasomatism is interpreted in terms of small degree melts related to the Palaeogene mafic alkaline magmatism.     

The Asama igneous complex, central Japan: An ultramafic-mafic layered intrusion in the Mikabu greenstone belt, Sambagawa metamorphic terrain

The Asama igneous complex comprises layered mafic and ultramafic plutonic rocks exposed over about 500×6000 m in the Mikabu greenstone belt, Sambagawa metamorphic terrain of Mie Prefecture; its margins terminate by faults, and there is no trace of chilled rocks. The exposed layered sequence is about 460 m thick, and includes dunite, plagioclase wehrlite, olivine gabbro and two-pyroxene gabbro. The crystallization sequence of essential cumulus minerals is olivine, followed by plagioclase and clinopyroxene together, and finally the appearance of orthopyroxene. Olivine systematically varies in composition from Fo₈₉ to Fo₇₈ with stratigraphic height in the lower to middle portion of the layered sequence. The composition of clinopyroxene changes from Ca₄₉Mg₄₆Fe₅ to Ca₄₀Mg₄₇Fe₁₃ upward in the layered sequence; cumulus orthopyroxene, which occurs at the top of the exposed layered sequence, has a composition of Ca₂Mg₇₄Fe₂₄. Cumulus chromite occurs as disseminated grains in peridotitic rocks, and tends to increase its Fe³⁺/(Cr+Al+Fe³⁺) ratio with stratigraphic height. The most aluminous chromite [Cr/(Cr+Al) = 0.48] occurs in dunite that crystallized shortly before plagioclase began to separate as an essential phase. The Cr/(Cr+Al) ratio of the most aluminous chromite, coupled with the crystallization order of essential minerals, suggests that the Asama parental magma was moderately enriched in plagioclase and clinopyroxene components in the normative mineral diagram plagioclase-clinopyroxene-orthopyroxene. It was similar to a Hawaiian tholeiite and different from the Bushveld and Great “Dyke” parental magmas that were more enriched in orthopyroxene component; it also differed from mid-oceanic ridge basalts that are more depleted in the orthopyroxene component. The Asama clinopyroxene and chromite show characteristically high TiO₂ contents and are also similar to those in Hawaiian tholeiites. The Asama igneous complex probably resulted from the crystallization of a magma of a Hawaiian (oceanic-island) tholeiite composition and formed in an oceanic island regime.     

Occurrence and chemical composition of amphiboles and related minerals in corundum-bearing mafic rock from the Horoman Peridotite Complex, Japan

A corundum-bearing mafic rock in the Horoman Peridotite Complex, Japan, was derived from upper mantle conditions to lower crustal conditions with surrounding peridotites. The amphiboles found in the rock are classified into 3 types: (1) as interstitial and/or poikilitic grains (Green amphibole), (2) as a constituent mineral of symplectitic mineral aggregates with aluminous spinel at grain boundary between olivine and plagioclase (Symplectite amphibole) and (3) as film-shaped thin grains, usually less than 10 μm in width, at grain boundary between olivine and clinopyroxene (Film-shaped amphibole). The Film-shaped amphibole is rarely associated with orthopyroxene extremely low in Al₂O₃, Cr₂O₃ and CaO (Low-Al OPX). These minerals were formed by infiltration of SiO₂- and volatile-rich fluids along grain boundaries after the rock was recrystallized at olivine-plagioclase stability conditions, i.e. the late stage of the exhumation of the Horoman Complex.

Chondrite-normalized rare earth element patterns and primitive mantle-normalized trace-element patterns of the Green amphibole and clinopyroxene are characterized by LREE-depleted patterns with Eu positive and negative anomalies of Zr and Hf. These geochemical characteristics of the constituent minerals were inherited from original whole-rock compositions through a reaction involving both pre-existing clinopyroxene and plagioclase. We propose that the fluids were originally rich in a SiO₂ component but depleted in trace-elements. Dehydration of the surrounding metamorphic rocks in the Hidaka metamorphic belt, probably related to intrusion of hot peridotite body into the Hidaka crust, is a plausible origin for the fluids.     

Petrology of the Hopen mangerite-charnockite intrusion, Lofoten, north Norway

The Hopen massif, intrusive age 1900 m.y., exposed area 15 km², in the Lofoten-Vesterålen granulite facies province has the mineral assemblages: (1) mesoperthite+plagioclase (An_7–20)+quartz+clinopyroxene (Di_20–25)+orthopyroxene En_15–25+opaques±minor amphibole±minor biotite; (2) mesoperthite+plagioclase (An <2)+quartz+clinopyroxene (Di <10)+olivine Fe lt;5)+opaques. By using mineral and whole rock analyses, the crystallization conditions were estimated to be 1000°C, 12 kb load pressure and an oxygen fugacity approximately corresponding to the WM buffer. Rocks with the assemblage of type (2) contain secondary orthoferrosilite (Fe_0.90–0.95Mn_0.04–0.07Mg_0.01Ca_0.01)₂Si₂O₆, generated by reactions involving fayalite, magnetite and quartz at 800°C, 10kb load pressure and at oxygen fugacities approaching QFM buffer conditions. Subsequent to a crustal thickening, the mangeritic rocks in Lofoten-Vesterålen were emplaced in a tensional environment comparable with modern continental rifts. A ‘gabbro pillow’ magma chamber at the crustal base is proposed as parental magma for the mangeritic rocks, of which the Hopen massif represents a late differentiation.

Mineral chemistry and thermobarometry of inclusions from De Beers Pool diamonds, Kimberley, South Africa

Silicate and oxide mineral inclusions in diamonds from the geologically and historically important De Beers Pool kimberlites in Kimberley, South Africa, are characterised by harzburgitic compositions (>90%), with lesser abundances from eclogitic and websteritic parageneses. The De Beers Pool diamonds contain unusually high numbers of inclusion intergrowths, with garnet+orthopyroxene±chromite±olivine and chromite+olivine assemblages dominant. More unusual intergrowths include garnet+olivine+magnesite and an eclogitic assemblage comprising garnet+clinopyroxene+rutile. The mineral chemistry of the De Beers Pool inclusions overlaps that of most worldwide localities. Peridotitic garnet inclusions exhibit variable CaO (<5.8 wt.%) and Cr₂O₃ contents (3.0–15.0 wt.%), although the majority are harzburgitic with very low calcium concentrations (<2 wt.% CaO). Eclogitic garnet inclusions are characterised by a wide range in CaO (3.3–21.1 wt.%) with low Cr₂O₃ (<1 wt.%). Websteritic garnets exhibit intermediate compositions. Most chromite inclusions contain 63–67 wt.% Cr₂O₃ and <0.5 wt.% TiO₂. Olivine and orthopyroxene inclusions are magnesium-rich with Mg-numbers of 93–97. Olivine inclusions in chromite exhibit the highest Mg-numbers and also contain elevated Cr₂O₃ contents up to 1.0 wt.%. Peridotitic clinopyroxene inclusions are Cr-diopsides with up to 0.8 wt.% K₂O. Eclogitic and websteritic clinopyroxene inclusions exhibit overlapping compositions with a wide range in Mg-numbers (66–86).

Calculated temperatures for non-touching inclusion pairs from individual diamonds range from 1082 to 1320 °C (average=1197 °C), whereas pressures vary from 4.6 to 7.7 GPa (average=6.3 GPa). Touching inclusion assemblages are characterised by equilibration temperatures of 995 to 1182 °C (average=1079 °C) and pressures of 4.2–6.8 GPa (average=5.4 GPa). Provided that the non-touching inclusions represent equilibrium assemblages, it is suggested that these inclusions record the conditions at the time of diamond crystallisation (1200 °C; 3.0 Ga). The lower average temperatures for touching inclusions are attributed to re-equilibration in a cooling mantle (1050 °C) prior to kimberlite eruption at 85 Ma. Pressure estimates for touching garnet–orthopyroxene inclusions are also skewed towards lower values than most non-touching inclusions. This apparent difference may be an artefact of the Al-exchange geobarometer and/or the result of sampling bias, due to limited numbers of non-touching garnet–orthopyroxene inclusions. Alternatively pressure differences could be caused by differential uplift in the mantle or possibly variations in thermal compressibility between diamond and silicate inclusions. However, thermodynamic modelling suggests that thermal compressibility differences would cause only minor changes in internal inclusion pressures (<0.2 GPa/100 °C).     

碳酸盐岩石成因类型的判别分析和白云鄂博“白云岩”的成因讨论

本文根据对世界上20多个国家和我国21个省碳酸盐岩石化学全分析数据的统计和换算结果,发现岩浆碳酸岩与沉积碳酸盐岩之间常量元素的一般含量无显著不同,但采用两组或逐步判别分析的方法,仍能将岩浆碳酸岩与沉积碳酸盐岩很好的区分开。判别效率可达90%以上。将这一方法应用到白云”鄂博矿区的“白云岩”和灰岩,90%以上的“白云岩”样品判为岩浆碳酸岩,灰岩的样品全部判为沉积碳酸盐岩,与它们的地质产状和地球化学特征一致。     

湖北竹山杨家堡组硅质岩成因及沉积环境分析

竹山地区位于扬子陆块北缘,寒武纪早期发育一套深水硅质岩系。该岩系由纯硅质岩夹少量白云岩、页岩所组成。硅质岩中微晶石英含量均超过85%,还含有少量碳质、燧石及微量绢云母。地球化学分析表明,该硅质岩的SiO₂含量较高,平均为93.4%;Al₂O₃和TiO₂含量较低,分别为0.19%~1.45%和0.01%~0.09%,TFe₂O₃为0.053%~0.342%,Al/(Al+Fe+Mn)比值为0.58~0.83,平均为0.71,Eu/Eu*为0.74~3.61,平均为1.65,表明其硅质主要来源于生物本身或其生命活动产物,海底热液活动亦提供了一部硅质物质;同时,硅质岩具有较低的TFe₂O₃/TiO₂比值(2.16~12.56,平均值为5.86)和Al₂O₃/(Al₂O₃+Fe₂O₃)比值(0.65~0.87,平均值为0.78),Y的正异常(Y/Ho值为34.81~60.19,平均为47.0)及Ce的负异常(Ce/Ce*值为0.28~0.92),表明它们形成于远离陆源物质干扰的边缘海盆环境,且Ce负异常从底部到顶部有逐渐减小的趋势,记录了寒武纪时期扬子北缘被动陆缘裂谷盆地不断扩大,水体逐渐变深的过程。
