The abundances of the mildly incompatible elements Al, Cr, V, Sc and Yb in more than 1700 mantle peridotite bulk rock analyses are interpreted in the light of a fractional melting model based on experimentally measured partition coefficients ( D) and melting reaction stoichiometries. All peridotites examined, irrespective of sample type (abyssal peridotites, orogenic massifs, ophiolites, on/off craton xenoliths), tectonic environment (divergent/convergent/passive margin, intraplate) or the pressure ( P) they last equilibrated at in the mantle (plagioclase-, spinel- , or garnet facies), originated as residues at less than 3 GPa, mainly within the spinel-facies. Mantle rocks currently in the garnet facies likely were originally spinel-facies lithosphere underthrust or subducted to greater depths in convergent margins. This view is inescapable even within the widest range of D values employed in the calculations, and is furthermore strengthened when metasomatic effects on the abundances of the mildly incompatible elements in residues are considered. A pressure of origin of below 3 GPa for most mantle lithosphere creates difficulties for any model ascribing a significant volume of deep, cratonic mantle roots to plume sub-cretion or any other vertical tectonic mechanism. 相似文献

The recently discovered Nikos kimberlite on Somerset Island, in the Canadian Arctic, hosts an unusually well preserved suite of mantle xenoliths dominated by garnet–peridotite (lherzolite, harzburgite, dunite) showing coarse and porphyroclastic textures, with minor garnet–pyroxenite. The whole rock and mineral data for 54 Nikos xenoliths indicate a highly refractory underlying mantle with high olivine forsterite contents (ave. Fo=92.3) and moderate to high olivine abundances (ave. 80 wt.%). These characteristics are similar to those reported for peridotites from the Archean Kaapvaal and Siberian cratons (ave. olivine Fo=92.5), but are clearly distinct from the trend defined by oceanic peridotites and mantle xenoliths in alkaline basalts and kimberlites from post-Archean continental terranes (ave. olivine Fo=91.0). The Nikos xenoliths yield pressures and temperatures of last equilibration between 20 and 55 kb and 650 and 1300°C, and a number of the peridotite nodules appear to have equilibrated in the diamond stability field. The pressure and temperature data define a conductive paleogeotherm corresponding to a surface heat flow of 44 mW/m 2. Paleogeotherms based on xenolith data from the central Slave province of the Canadian craton require a lower surface heat flow (40 mW/m 2) indicating a cooler geothermal regime than that beneath the Canadian Arctic. A large number of kimberlite-hosted peridotites from the Kaapvaal craton in South Africa and parts of the Siberian craton are characterized by high orthopyroxene contents (ave. Kaapvaal 32 wt.%, Siberia 20 wt.%). The calculated modal mineral assemblages for the Nikos peridotites show moderate to low contents of orthopyroxene (ave. 12 wt.%), indicating that the orthopyroxene-rich mineralogy characteristic of the Kaapvaal and Siberian cratons is not a feature of the cratonic upper mantle beneath Somerset Island. 相似文献

Chromitites from a single section through the mantle in the Oman ophiolite are of two different types. Low-cr# chromitites,
of MORB affinity are found in the upper part of the section, close to the Moho. High-cr# chromitites, with arc affinities
are found deeper in the mantle. Experimental data are used to recover the compositions of the melts parental to the chromitites
and show that the low-cr# chromitites were derived from melts with 14.5–15.4 wt% Al 2O 3, with 0.4 to 0.9 wt% TiO 2 and with a maximum possible mg# of 0.76. In contrast the high-cr# chromitites were derived from melts with 11.8–12.9 wt%
Al 2O 3, 0.2–0.35 wt% TiO 2 and a maximum melt mg# of 0.785. Comparison with the published compositions of lavas from the Oman ophiolite shows that the
low-cr# chromitites may be genetically related to the upper (Lasail, and Alley) pillow lava units and the high-cr# chromitites
the boninites of the upper pillow lava Alley Unit. The calculated TiO 2–Al 2O 3 compositions of the parental chromitite magmas indicate that the high-cr# chromitites were derived from high-Ca boninitic
melts, produced by melting of depleted mantle peridotite. The low-cr# chromitites were derived from melts which were a mixture
of two end-members—one represented by a depleted mantle melt and the other represented by MORB. This mixing probably took
place as a result of melt–rock reaction.

西克尔新生代玄武岩中的二辉橄榄岩包体矿物主量元素、单斜辉石(Cpx)微量元素及Sr同位素被用来揭示塔里木西北缘岩石圈地幔经历的交代改造作用。依据岩相学和矿物化学特征,西克尔二辉橄榄岩可分为A、B、C三个组。A组二辉橄榄岩具有较高的橄榄石含量(57%~65%)和Mg#(>90),代表了较为古老且适度难熔的岩石圈地幔,其Cpx富集大离子亲石元素,具有较高的(La/Yb)N、低的Ti/Eu比值,指示碳酸盐交代。根据Cpx的Sr同位素及高场强元素(HFSE)的异常特征,A组又可以细分为两个亚组(A1和A2):A1亚组Cpx核部呈现高的87Sr/86Sr(0.70451~0.70485)和HFSE的强烈负异常,而A2亚组Cpx核部呈现低的87Sr/86Sr(0.70353~0.70389)和HFSE的轻微负异常,分别代表着俯冲沉积碳酸盐和软流圈来源碳酸盐交代作用。B组和C组二辉橄榄岩具有较低的橄榄石Mg#(< 90),代表了经受改造后饱满的岩石圈地幔。其中B组的Cpx具极低的Zr/Hf,以及与A1亚组相似的特征,可能与蚀变洋壳熔融所产生富CO2硅酸盐熔体交代有关;C组尖晶石高的TiO2含量和Cpx高的重稀土含量,指示明显高熔/岩比的熔体-橄榄岩反应印迹,Cpx勺型的轻稀土配分、较低的(La/Yb)N、高的Ti/Eu比值、及HFSE强烈亏损的特征,表明其后期经历小体积富水硅酸盐熔体渗透的影响。此外A组Cpx的海绵边和B、C组包体与寄主岩交界处Cpx的反应边呈现与核部不一致的成分特征,同时B、C组包体与寄主岩交界处的斜方辉石也呈现被替代的现象。这些指示了橄榄岩在被携带至地表前不久或在此过程中熔体渗透引发的Cpx不一致熔融及熔岩反应的改造过程。多期次的地幔交代作用指示塔里木西北缘岩石圈地幔所经历的复杂改造历史。 相似文献

地幔橄榄岩捕虏体中石榴石次变边的形成过程对理解地幔的构造演化和转变具有非常重要的意义。兴蒙造山带锡林浩特地区新生代玄武岩携带的石榴石橄榄岩捕虏体中的石榴石普遍发育冠冕状次变边结构。本文通过对石榴石及其次变边进行详细的岩相学和电子探针分析,探讨石榴石次变边的成因及其揭示的岩石圈地幔经历的深部过程。根据次变边矿物组成的不同,将其分为原始的次变边(R1和R2)和交代的次变边(MR1和MR2)。原始的次变边中,新鲜的石榴石由内向外依次被放射状且矿物颗粒较细的R1和粒状且矿物颗粒较粗的R2包围,且R1通常比R2宽。R1主要组成矿物为Opx+Sp+Melt1/Pl±Cpx,R2主要组成矿物为Opx+Sp+Cpx。与R2及橄榄岩捕虏体相比,R1的斜方辉石和单斜辉石具有较高的Al2O3含量和较低Mg#值及SiO2含量。与橄榄岩捕虏体相比,R1和R2中的尖晶石均具有较低的Cr#值和较高的Mg#值。R1的斜长石为钙长石,熔体成分与斜长石相比具有偏高的MgO和FeO含量。计算的R1的全岩成分与新鲜的石榴石一致,是石榴石等化学分解的产物。R2的全岩成分比新鲜的石榴石具有偏高的MgO和偏低的SiO2及Al2O3含量,是石榴石和橄榄石反应的产物。交代的次变边是由原始的次变边受到部分或完全的交代作用形成的。完全交代的次变边仍然保留原始次变边的双圈层结构,而未完全交代的次变边则仅在原始次变边的局部出现。交代的次变边中,矿物颗粒较细的核部(MR1)和矿物颗粒较粗的边部(MR2)主要矿物组成一致,皆为Ol+Cpx+Sp+Melt2。与原始的次变边相比,MR1和MR2中的橄榄石和单斜辉石均具有较高的Mg#值,单斜辉石同时具有较高Ca/Al比值(>8),尖晶石具有较高的Cr#值和较低的Mg#值,熔体较富SiO2、Na2O和K2O含量。这些现象说明交代的次变边可能是碳酸盐熔/流体交代原始的次变边消耗斜方辉石生成橄榄石和单斜辉石形成的,这与岩相学观察到的单斜辉石中包裹斜方辉石残余体一致。此外,同一样品中R1的平衡温度略高于R2的平衡温度,且二者均高于橄榄岩的平衡温度。因此,锡林浩特地区石榴石橄榄岩至少经历了两阶段的退变质作用:第一阶段为橄榄岩自石榴石相抬升至尖晶石相,且受到地幔上涌的加热作用,导致石榴石和橄榄石进行缓慢的反应形成R2;第二阶段是在连续减压且加热的背景下,第一阶段残余的石榴石发生快速等化学分解反应,形成R1。退变质作用之后,石榴石原始的次变边又经历了碳酸盐熔/流体的交代作用形成MR1和MR2,最终被寄主玄武岩携带至地表。所以,石榴石次变边的形成记录了新生代时期兴蒙造山带经历的广泛的地幔上涌和多次的地幔隆升,以及地幔交代作用,为研究深部地幔过程提供了重要证据。华北克拉通晚中生代时期经历了强烈的岩石圈伸展运动并伴随着软流圈的上涌,这些过程同样会造成岩石圈地幔的减压和加热,从而导致石榴石相橄榄岩向尖晶石相转变,这可能也是华北克拉通岩石圈地幔转变的机制之一。 相似文献

Mafic-ultramafic rocks of Archaean age constitute a significant component of the Eastern Indian Craton. These occur in two
different modes. In the eastern belt these occur as a long, linear enclave within the Singhbhum granite and the primary banding
in them is subvertical. In the more extensive western belt along the periphery of the Singhbhum granite, the disposition of
the primary banding is subhorizontal.
The major rock type in both the belts is meta-basalt with minor peridotitic komatiite and basaltic komatiite occurring in
the eastern belt. Rare ultramafic rocks with cumulate textures are present in both the belts. The larger volume of the basaltic
rocks preclude the possibility of their being derived by fractional crystallization of the high-MgO components.
On the basis of trace element and REE characters the rocks may be classified into three groups. One of the groups shows a
tholeiitic trend and include samples mostly from the eastern belt while the second consisting mostly of samples from the western
belt shows a calc-alkaline trend. The third group includes samples having elemental ratios intermediate between these two
groups. Zr/Nb ratios for the tholeiitic and calc-alkaline samples are different suggesting their sources to be different.
The tholeiitic samples have been generated from a source having chondritic REE characters, while the calc-alkaline samples
have been generated from a source with LREE enriched character. The high-MgO components in both the groups are suggested to
represent high degrees of melting compared to the basalts in each group.
It is further suggested that the tholeiitic basalts have been generated relatively early from a chondritic source. Down-buckling
of this material has added LREE enriched melts to the source, thereby changing its character into a LREE enriched one. Melting
of a source with such changed character has subsequently produced the calc-alkaline melts. Rocks with variable but intermediate
characters between these two groups have been generated as a result of contamination between these two groups. 相似文献

Temperature estimates and chemical composition of mantle xenoliths from the Cretaceous rift system of NW Argentina (26°S) constrain the rift evolution and chemical and physical properties of the lithospheric mantle at the eastern edge of the Cenozoic Andean plateau. The xenolith suite comprises mainly spinel lherzolite and subordinate pyroxenite and carbonatized lherzolite. The spinel lherzolite xenoliths equilibrated at high- T (most samples >1000 °C) and P below garnet-in. The Sm–Nd systematics of compositionally unzoned clino- and orthopyroxene indicate a Cretaceous minimum age for the high- T regime, i.e., the asthenosphere/lithosphere thermal boundary was at ca. 70 km depth in the Cretaceous rift. Major elements and Cr, Ni, Co and V contents of the xenoliths range between values of primitive and depleted mantle. Calculated densities based on the bulk composition of the xenoliths are <3280 kg/m 3 for the estimated P– T conditions and indicate a buoyant, stable upper mantle lithosphere. The well-equilibrated metamorphic fabric and mineral paragenesis with the general lack of high- T hydrous phases did not preserve traces of metasomatism in the mantle xenoliths. Late Mesozoic metasomatism, however, is obvious in the gradual enrichment of Sr, U, Th and light to medium REE and changes in the radiogenic isotope composition of an originally depleted mantle. These changes are independent of the degree of depletion evidenced by major element composition. 143Nd/ 144Nd i ratios of clinopyroxene from the main group of xenoliths decrease with increasing Nd content from >0.5130 (depleted samples) to ca. 0.5127 (enriched samples). 87Sr/ 86Sr i ratios (0.7127–0.7131, depleted samples; 0.7130–0.7134, enriched samples) show no variation with variable Sr contents. Pb i isotope ratios of the enriched samples are rather radiogenic ( 206Pb/ 204Pb i 18.8–20.6, 207Pb/ 204Pb i 15.6–15.7, 208Pb/ 204Pb i 38.6–47) compared with the Pb isotope signature of the depleted samples. The large scatter and high values of 208Pb/ 204Pb i ratios of many xenoliths indicates at least two Pb sources that are characterized by similar U/Pb but by different Th/Pb ratios. The dominant mantle type in the investigated system is depleted mantle according to its Sr and Nd isotopic composition with relatively radiogenic Pb isotope ratios. This mantle is different from the Pacific MORB source and old subcontinental mantle from the adjacent Brazilian Shield. Its composition probably reflects material influx into the mantle wedge during various episodes of subduction that commenced in early Paleozoic or even earlier. Old subcontinental mantle was already replaced in the Paleozoic, but some inheritance from old mantle lithosphere is represented by rare xenoliths with isotope signatures indicating a Proterozoic origin. 相似文献

众所周知,华北克拉通东部岩石圈地幔的组成和性质在显生宙发生了显著变化,但由于西部出露含有捕虏体的火山岩较少,这在一定程度上限制了人们对该区岩石圈地幔属性与演化特征的认识。本文将华北克拉通西北部晚白垩世-新生代玄武岩中橄榄岩捕虏体的研究成果归纳总结,旨在进一步揭示该区岩石圈地幔的属性与演化特征。研究表明,华北克拉通西北部岩石圈地幔主要由低Mg#的二辉橄榄岩和少量高Mg#的方辉橄榄岩组成。高Mg#橄榄岩代表该区受轻微再富集作用影响的古老岩石圈地幔残余,低Mg#橄榄岩是软流圈来源熔体与高Mg#橄榄岩反应的产物,代表地幔再富集作用对古老岩石圈地幔改造的结果。该区岩石圈地幔经历了多期地幔交代作用的改造,早期交代事件与古亚洲洋俯冲有关,近期与软流圈来源的玄武质熔体有关。这种广泛的地幔再富集作用对华北克拉通古老岩石圈地幔的转变做出了重要贡献。 相似文献

The petrology and geochemistry of peridotite xenoliths in the Cenozoic basalts from Fanshi, the central North China Craton (NCC), provide constraints on the evolution of sub-continental lithospheric mantle. These peridotite xenoliths are mainly spinel-facies lherzolites with minor harzburgites. The lherzolites are characterized by low forsterite contents in olivines (Fo < 91) and light rare earth element (LREE) enrichments in clinopyroxenes. In contrast, the harzburgites are typified by high-Fo olivines (> 91), high-Cr# spinels and clinopyroxenes with low abundances of heavy REE (HREE). These features are similar to those from old refractory lithospheric mantle around the world, and thus interpreted to be relics of old lithospheric mantle. The old lithospheric mantle has been chemically modified by the influx of melts, as evidenced by the Sr–Nd isotopic compositions of clinopyroxenes and relatively lower Fo contents than typical Archean lithospheric mantle (Fo > 92.5). The Sr–Nd isotopic compositions of harzburgites are close to EM1-type mantle, and of the lherzolites are similar to bulk silicate earth. The latter could be the result of recent modification of old harzburgites by asthenospheric melt, which is strengthened by fertile compositions of minerals in the lherzolites. Therefore, the isotopic and chemical heterogeneities of the Fanshi peridotite xenoliths reflect the refertilization of ancient refractory lithospheric mantle by massive addition of asthenospheric melts. This may be an important mechanism for the lithospheric evolution beneath the Central NCC. 相似文献

Orthopyroxene-rich olivine websterite xenoliths (OWB 2) in Palaeogene basanites in East Serbia are mostly composed of tabular low-Al 2O 3 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 OWB 2 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 OWB 2 lithology was a hydrous olivine-bearing orthopyroxenite that crystallised from subduction-related SiO 2-saturated, boninite-like magmas. During Stage II the interstitial minerals formed due to infiltration of a low-SiO 2, high-CaO and CO 2-rich external melt, accompanied by decomposition of original H 2O-bearing minerals. The calculated composition of the infiltrating liquid corresponds to a mafic alkaline melt similar to the basanitic host but more enriched in CO 2, LREE and LILE. Metasomatism is interpreted in terms of small degree melts related to the Palaeogene mafic alkaline magmatism. 相似文献

根据北部湾涠洲岛晚更新世火山岩中尖晶石二辉橄榄岩的矿物化学和形成条件推测,它们是来自地下约40km-50km的大陆岩石圈地幔样品。涠洲岛地幔橄榄岩中同时出现高硅(64%~68%)和低硅(49%~57%)两种熔体成分,它们普遍富碱、Al2O3和H2O、CO2等挥发组分(2%-5%)。研究认为,两种熔体存在不同的成因机制。高硅熔体可能与软流圈上升的玄武质岩浆和斜方辉石反应或下地壳物质循环进入地幔后的部分熔融有关。低硅熔体直接提供了富硅熔体与橄榄石发生交代作用的证据。这可以用富SiO2熔体+Ol→贫SiO2熔体+Opx反应解释,其结果是消耗橄榄石生成斜方辉石。涠洲岛橄榄岩中两种熔体的发现,进一步提供了发生在大陆岩石圈地幔流(熔)体与橄榄岩交代作用的普遍性、复杂性,以及地幔熔体多样性的新证据。 相似文献

Shirey and Hanson(1984)将某些太古代的高镁闪长岩套称为sanukite(赞岐岩),类似于日本中新世(11~15Ma)Setouchi火山岩带的高镁安山岩。Sanukitoids由闪长岩-二长闪长岩-花岗闪长岩组成,不同于TTC岩套(奥长花岗岩-英云闪长岩-花岗闪长岩)。Sanukitoids具有下列地球化学特征:富Mg,Mg~#>0.60,Ni和Cr>100μg/g,Sr和Ba>500μg/g,LREE富集(大于球粒陨石100倍),无Eu异常。高镁安山岩在太古代很少见,而其相应的侵入岩高镁闪长岩或sanukitoids,虽然数量也很少,但却是各地晚太古代地体中随处可见的。Sanukitoids的原始岩浆是交代的地幔楔部分熔融形成的,随后可能经历了广泛的分离结晶作用。TTC和sanukitoids岩套可以相伴产出,二者均与板片熔融有关,TTG与其直接有关,sanukitoids可能与其间接有关。全球Sanukitoids主要集中在晚太古代时期,可能暗示板块的消减作用在~3.0Ga以后才起了重要的作用。 相似文献

About half the diamonds studied from the Cenozoic placer deposits along the Namibian coast belong to the peridotitic suite. The peridotitic mantle source is heterogeneous ranging from lherzolitic to strongly Ca depleted (down to 0.24 wt.% CaO in garnet) and shows large variations in Cr/Al ratio, illustrated by very low to very high Cr 2O 3 contents in garnet (2.6–17.3 wt.%). The Cr-rich end of this range includes exceptionally high Cr 2O 3 contents in Mg-chromite (70.7 wt.%) and clinopyroxene (3.6 wt.%). Garnet-olivine thermometry appears to indicate two groups, one that equilibrated at temperatures between 1200 and 1220°C and a second between 960 and 1100°C. Combined estimates of pressure and temperature based on garnet-orthopyroxene pairs indicate a large variance in geothermal gradients, corresponding to 38–42 mW/m 2 surface heat flow. The trace-element composition of peridotitic garnet inclusions (determined by SIMS) also indicates large diversity. Two principal groups, corresponding to different styles of metasomatic source enrichment, are recognized. The first group ranges from extremely LREEN-depleted patterns, through trough-shaped REEN to sinusoidal patterns with the position of the first peak gradually moving from the LREEN to the MREEN. This series of REE patterns is interpreted to reflect a range of metasomatic agents with decreasing LREE/HREE. Only in the case of the two garnets with REEN peaking at Sm–Eu is this process connected with enrichment in Zr, without significant introduction of Y and Ti. The metasomatism responsible is interpreted as reflecting percolation of CHO-fluids through harzburgite under sub-solidus conditions. A second group of garnets shows an increase from LREEN–MREEN and almost flat (lherzolitic garnet) to moderately declining MREEN–HREEN at super-chondritic levels. This second style of metasomatism is caused by an agent carrying HFSE and showing only moderate enrichment in LREE over HREE, which points towards silicate melts. 相似文献

Clinopyroxene-rich, poorly metasomatised spinel lherzolites are rare worldwide but predominate among xenoliths in five Quaternary
basaltic eruption centres in Tariat, central Mongolia. High-precision analyses of the most fertile Tariat lherzolites are
used to evaluate estimates of primitive mantle compositions; they indicate Mg# PM = 0.890 while lower Mg# in the mantle are likely related to metasomatic enrichments in iron. Within a 10 × 20 km area, and
between ~45 and ≥60 km depth, the sampled xenoliths suggest that the Tariat mantle does not show km-scale chemical heterogeneities
and mainly consists of residues after low-degree melt extraction at 1–3 GPa. However, accessory (<1%) amphibole and phlogopite
are unevenly distributed beneath the eruption centres. Ca abundances in olivine are controlled by temperature whereas Al and
Cr abundances also depend on Cr/Al in coexisting spinel. Comparisons of conventional and high-precision analyses obtained
for 30 xenoliths show that high-quality data, in particular for whole-rocks and olivines, are essential to constrain the origin
of mantle peridotites.

Garnet peridotite xenoliths in the Quaternary Pali-Aike alkali olivine basalts of southernmost South America are samples of the deeper portion of continental lithosphere formed by accretion along the western margin of Gondwanaland during the Phanerozoic. Core compositions of minerals in garnet peridotites indicate temperatures of 970 to 1160°C between 1.9 and 2.4 GPa, constraining a geothermal gradient which suggests a lithospheric thickness of approximately 100 km below this region. Previously, this lithosphere may have been heated and thinned to ≤80 km during the Jurassic break-up of Gondwanaland, when widespread mafic and silicic volcanism occurred in association with extension in southern South America. Subsequent cooling, by up to >175°C, and thickening, by about 20 km, of the lithosphere is reflected in low-temperature (<970°C) spinel peridotites by chemical zonation of pyroxenes involving a rimward decrease in Ca, and in moderate- and high-temperature (>970°C) peridotites by textural evidence for the transformation of spinel to garnet. A recent heating event, which probably occurred in conjunction with modal metasomatism related to the genesis of the Pali-Aike alkali olivine basalts, has again thinned the lithosphere to <100 km. Evidence for this heating is preserved in moderate- and high-temperature (>970°C) peridotites as chemical zonation of pyroxenes involving a rimward increase in Ca, and by kelyphitic rims around garnet. The majority of moderate- and high-temperature (>970°C) xenoliths are petrochemically similar to the asthenospheric source of mid-oceanic ridge basalts: fertile (>20% modal clinopyroxene and garnet), Fe-rich garnet lherzolite with major element composition similar to estimates of primitive mantle, but large-ion-lithophile and light-rare-earth element depletion relative to heavy-rare-earth elements, and with Sr, Nd, Pb, Os, and O isotopic compositions similar to MORB. In contrast, infertile, Mg-rich spinel harzburgite is predominant among low-temperature (<970°C) xenoliths. This implies a significant chemical gradient and increasing density with depth in the mantle section represented by the xenoliths, and the absence of a deep, low density, olivine-rich root below the southernmost South American crust such as has been inferred below Archean cratons. With respect to both temperature/rheology and chemistry/density, the subcontinental mantle lithosphere below southernmost South America is similar to that below oceanic crust. It is interpreted to have formed by tectonic capture, during the Paleozoic, of a segment of what had previously been oceanic lithosphere generated at a late Proterozoic mid-oceanic spreading ridge. 相似文献

碳在地球表层和内部圈层之间的循环控制了地球的环境气候变化。海底热液蚀变以及变质作用会使得碳酸盐沉淀到玄武质洋壳中,之后它们在俯冲带经历高压榴辉岩相变质作用会形成碳酸盐化的榴辉岩。俯冲过程可以将这些碳酸盐化的玄武质洋壳榴辉岩带入深部地幔,从而导致地幔在地球化学和岩石学上存在显著的不均一性,并深刻影响着包括部分熔融在内的地幔深部动力学过程。早期对碳酸盐化榴辉岩的实验研究多集中在俯冲带地温梯度下碳酸盐化洋壳榴辉岩的命运,近年来的实验开始研究地幔温压条件下碳酸盐化榴辉岩部分熔融对板内碱性玄武质岩浆源区的潜在影响。本文简要梳理了碳酸盐化榴辉岩在上地幔温压条件下的部分熔融实验,并结合一些天然样品的研究实例,说明碳酸盐化榴辉岩熔体不仅可以作为潜在的地幔交代介质,还可能是板内碱性玄武岩源区的重要组分,它们与橄榄岩发生反应或者与橄榄岩熔体发生混合可以解释板内碱性玄武岩的成分变化。 相似文献

东波超镁铁岩体产在雅鲁藏布江缝合带的西段,与周边白垩纪沉积岩地层和火山岩以断层接触.航磁资料显示该岩体约400km2规模,地表出露连续,地下有一定延深.超镁铁岩体由亏损的地幔橄榄岩组成,主要有高镁的方辉橄榄岩、纯橄岩和少量二辉橄榄岩.方辉橄榄岩和二辉橄榄岩中橄榄石和斜方辉石属高镁型,分别为Fo=89.5~91.5和Mg#=90~91.5.但二辉橄榄岩中的Al2O3和CaO含量明显高于方辉橄榄岩.方辉橄榄岩中单斜辉石Mg#=92~95,二辉橄榄岩的Mg#=92~93,两者的值也重叠.二辉橄榄岩中的Al2O3和CaO含量要明显高于方辉橄榄岩.这些均为阿尔卑斯型地幔橄榄岩的典型特征.纯橄岩中的橄榄石Fo=92~93.2,其斜方辉石和单斜辉石的Mg#=~93,但Al2O3和CaO的含量比方辉橄榄岩和二辉橄榄岩的低.三种岩石的成分变化规律,反映了地幔部分熔融程度的差异.二辉橄榄岩铬尖晶石的Cr#值20~30,反映为典型深海橄榄岩特征,指示MOR环境.与其不同的是,方辉橄榄岩的铬尖晶石的Cr#=20~75,指示MOR和SSZ两者兼有环境.岩石的原始地幔标准化的REE和微量元素蛛网图模式支持了上述的认识.东波地幔橄榄岩中的岩石学特征与产有大型铬铁矿床的罗布莎地幔橄榄岩可对比,岩体中已多处发现块状铬铁矿石,其铬铁矿的Cr2O3含量56%~59%,表明东波是寻找铬铁矿大矿和富矿甚具前景的一个超镁铁岩体. 相似文献

长白山地区位于华北克拉通东北部,广泛出露富含地幔橄榄岩包体的新生代玄武岩,为研究岩石圈地幔的性质和演化提供了优越条件。本文对长白山地区天池和龙岗新生代火山岩群中尖晶石相橄榄岩包体进行了岩石学、全岩主微量元素、矿物主量元素、单斜辉石微量元素和Sr-Nd-Hf同位素分析。研究结果表明,尖晶石相橄榄岩包体由二辉橄榄岩和少量的方辉橄榄岩组成,Mg#值为87.4~91.2,表现出新生饱满的特征,平衡温度为900~1100℃。橄榄石的Mg#值(% Fo)为85.6~91.3。单斜辉石包括四种类型:(1)轻稀土元素严重亏损型;(2)轻稀土元素亏损型;(3)向右微倾型和(4)"勺型"。单斜辉石表现出Sr同位素(87Sr/86Sr=0.702749~0.707276)整体亏损,部分样品富集的特征,单斜辉石的Nd-Hf同位素呈现出亏损特征(143Nd/144Nd=0.512886~0.51333、εHf=+17.7~+49.8)。长白山地区二辉和方辉橄榄岩分别经历了小于10%和略大于10%的部分熔融作用,并受到富水硅酸盐熔体的地幔交代作用。太平洋板块向西俯冲作用使得软流圈上涌并携带大量壳源物质进入地幔深部,与岩石圈地幔发生橄榄岩-熔体反应,形成了长白山地区不均一的岩石圈地幔,以新增生饱满地幔为主,夹有少量古老难熔岩石圈地幔碎片。 相似文献

The abundance of apatite in Phanerozoic mantle may be greatly underestimated. This study shows that apatite has a widespread occurrence in Phanerozoic lithospheric mantle and can be divided into two geochemically distinct types using halogen content, presence or absence of structural CO 2, Sr and trace element (especially U, Th, and light rare earth) ratios and abundances, and association with either metasomatised mantle wall-rock peridotites (Apatite A) or high-pressure magmatic crystallisation products (Apatite B). Apatite A is inferred to result from metasomatism by CO 2- and H 2O-rich fluids derived from a primitive mantle source region, while Apatite B compositions are consistent with crystallisation from magmas within the carbonate–silicate compositional spectrum. The presence of significant apatite in the lithospheric mantle is important not only for the geochemical budget but also for assessing heat production and heat flow in the mantle. The measured U and Th contents of mantle apatite average 60 and 200 ppm, respectively and 0.5% apatite would dominate heat production. Metasomatised mantle may also contain amphibole and mica with K2O and clinopyroxene with detectable U and Th. In lithospheric mantle with a thickness of 70 km, this abundance of apatite would result in mantle heat flow contribution of about 12 mW/m2, a significant proportion of the total “normal” mantle heat flow of about 18 mW/m2. 相似文献
