宽甸橄榄岩包体微区地球化学特征及其岩石圈地幔演化

华北克拉通东部宽甸新生代碱性玄武岩中携带的地幔橄榄岩包体为我们认识该地区岩石圈地幔性质和演化过程提供了约束。根据橄榄石的Mg^#可将宽甸橄榄岩包体分成两类: 第1类为低Mg^#二辉橄榄岩包体(橄榄石Mg^#相对较低: 89.8～90.3),其单斜辉石具有高TiO₂(0.38%～0.57%)、Al₂O₃(4.41%～6.87%)、FeO_T(2.46%～3.73%)、MnO(0.08%～0.11%)含量和低Cr^#(7.42～14.2)的特征,它们所经历的部分熔融程度较低,这些特征类似于中国东部晚白垩世和新生代玄武岩中低Mg^#橄榄岩,代表了新生饱满的岩石圈地幔;第2类为高Mg^#方辉橄榄岩包体(橄榄石Mg^#相对较高:91.0～92.3),其单斜辉石具有低TiO₂(0.03%～0.33%)、Al₂O₃(2.27%～5.49%)、FeO_T(2.04%～2.40%)、MnO(0.07%～0.08%)含量和高Cr^#(15.3～25.8)的特征,它们经历了较高程度的部分熔融作用,其难熔的地球化学特征完全不同于低Mg^#二辉橄榄岩,却与克拉通内部太古宙和元古宙地幔包体类似,代表了古老难熔岩石圈地幔的残留。两类橄榄岩包体的平衡温度没有显著差异说明宽甸岩石圈地幔不存在明显的分层现象,而是新老岩石圈地幔混杂出现。宽甸橄榄岩包体的微量元素特征表明了它们受到过多期复杂的地幔交代作用,交代介质类型不仅有硅酸盐熔/流体还有碳酸盐熔体,其来源既有太平洋板块俯冲释放的熔/流体,又有因受太平洋板块俯冲扰动而上涌的软流圈熔体,因此太平洋板块俯冲可能对华北克拉通的破坏起到了重要作用。     

内蒙古集宁新生代玄武岩中橄榄岩包体矿物化学特征及其地幔演化意义

在无水"干"体系的四矿物相橄榄岩中,单斜辉石由于熔点低而通常记录着丰富的部分熔融作用和地幔交代作用信息。在详细岩相学特征和组成矿物主元素分析基础上,重点对内蒙古集宁玄武岩中橄榄岩包体的单斜辉石进行了激光原位微量元素研究。通过与新生代时华北具古老克拉通地幔特征(如鹤壁)和具新生岩石圈地幔特征(如山旺)的橄榄岩对比,讨论了新生代时集宁地区陆下岩石圈地幔性质及其形成和演化机制。集宁地区岩石圈地幔是相当于原始地幔经过较低程度的部分熔融抽取形成的,除个别样品的部分熔融程度5%外,多数样品为5%～10%。橄榄岩的平衡温度与橄榄石Mg#关系表明新生代时集宁地区的陆下岩石圈地幔是不均一的,无明显分层现象,表现为饱满与过渡型地幔的共存。这种主体饱满并兼有过渡型地幔的不均一现象,可能是软流圈物质对古老地幔进行不均匀侵蚀、改造和置换作用的结果。     

长白山新生代玄武岩中橄榄岩包体所揭示的岩石圈地幔特征

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。     

地幔柱活动对克拉通岩石圈地幔的影响：西伯利亚克拉通地幔橄榄岩包体Sr-Nd-Hf同位素制约

利用单矿物溶液法分析了Obnazhennaya金伯利岩中橄榄岩包体单矿物的Sr-Nd-Hf同位素组成,并且与Udachnaya金伯利岩中橄榄岩包体单矿物的Sr-Nd-Hf同位素组成进行了对比。结果显示,Obnazhennaya金伯利岩中橄榄岩包体单斜辉石具有亏损的Sr同位素组成和富集的Nd、Hf同位素组成。橄榄岩包体石榴子石的Sr-Nd-Hf同位素组成表现出原始的特征,没有受到交代作用的影响。通过对比Udachnaya和Obnazhennaya金伯利岩中地幔包体的特征和单斜辉石的二元混合模拟发现,Udachnaya金伯利岩中的地幔包体的Sr-Nd-Hf同位素组成更偏向于金伯利岩的特征,而与之相反,Obnazhennaya金伯利岩中的地幔包体的Sr-Nd-Hf同位素组成则位于金伯利岩和地幔柱溢流玄武岩之间,且更加偏向于溢流玄武岩的同位素特征。因此,地幔柱活动对西伯利亚克拉通岩石圈产生了影响,改变了其岩石圈地幔的同位素组成。     

华北东部橄榄岩岩石化学特征及其岩石圈地幔演化意义

华北东部古生代以来火山岩中捕虏体橄榄岩和苏鲁早中生代构造侵位橄榄岩的岩石化学结果表明: 古生代金伯利岩侵位时仍然存在的难熔、漂浮克拉通地幔在中、新生代时其大部被新生饱满的岩石圈地幔物质取代置换.在100 Ma前(但不早于178 Ma), 新生软流圈物质就已开始沿古老岩石圈内的地幔薄弱带和岩石圈深断裂带对克拉通地幔进行侵蚀、交代和混合作用, 引起岩石圈大幅减薄.这一减薄存在时间、空间的不均匀性, 但在老第三纪达最大.新第三纪以来, 上涌的软流圈物质由于温度下降回落(岩石圈小幅增厚)并转化为新生岩石圈地幔, 实现地幔置换过程.分析的苏鲁造山带橄榄岩是早中生代构造侵位改造过的古老岩石圈地幔物质.      

山东蓬莱新生代岩石圈地幔的异常锂同位素组成：橄榄岩包体的离子探针分析

应用离子探针技术对山东蓬莱新生代玄武岩中橄榄岩包体的主要组成矿物进行了原位测定,结果显示了强烈偏离正 常地幔矿物组成和平衡的Li 含量和同位素比值。橄榄石、斜方辉石和单斜辉石的Li 含量和δ7Li 分别为（2.0~10.4）×10-6, （2.8~23.8）×10-6 和（3.3~59.7）×10-6;-28.6‰ ~+0.5‰,-12.7‰ ~+12.8‰和-41.5‰ ~+22.6‰。这种强烈的非平衡体系反 映了最近强烈和复杂的地幔交代作用。辉石的高Li（~ 60×10-6）和δ7Li（~ +20‰）反映了最近富Li地幔熔体/ 流体的特征, 而橄榄石的中等Li 富集（<5×10-6）和强烈的δ7Li 亏损（~ -20‰）则可能记录了更早一期低δ7Li 的地幔交代。同位素剖面 的扩散反演以及Li 强烈富集与LREE 相对亏损之间的解耦显示了两期地幔交代作用的短暂性和近期性。因此,我们认为华 北东部克拉通上地幔中存在与再循环有关的锂同位素异常组分,它们的形成应该与中生代以来太平洋板块向东亚大陆下的 俯冲有关. 这些组分能够在地幔中较长的保存直至最近被热扰动所释放,并被橄榄岩包体所记录。     

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。     

华北克拉通岩石圈地幔的锂同位素特征与熔体改造作用

华北克拉通是显生宙以来全球古老克拉通破坏最为剧烈的地区。华北克拉通破坏及其相关的科学问题引起了国内外地质学家的广泛关注。有关华北克拉通破坏的研究已取得了许多重要进展,使我们认识到其破坏不仅表现为岩石圈厚度的剧烈减薄,更重要的是岩石圈地幔的物质组成与性质发生了巨大转变,即从古生代克拉通型转变为新生代大洋型。本文在综述华北地幔捕虏体锂同位素地球化学特征的基础上,进一步揭示了华北岩石圈地幔高度不均一的组成特征,以及不同来源的熔体对岩石圈地幔的改造作用,为深入认识华北岩石圈地幔的转变过程提供进一步的制约。     

吉林省伊通地区橄榄岩包体的同位素特征与岩石圈地幔时代

吉林省伊通新生代火山群中大孤山所伴生的东小山火山含有丰富的地幔橄榄岩包体,详细的岩石学和矿物学工作显示,这些包体的主要岩石类型为尖晶石二辉橄榄岩,含有少量的方辉橄榄岩和异剥橄榄岩。包体的结构类型多样,包括粒状变晶结构、碎斑状结构、糜棱结构和筛状变晶结构。主量元素及矿物化学资料表明,这些地幔橄榄岩包体大都比较饱满,说明其所经历的部分熔融程度较低。微量元素显示,包体在形成以后经受过不同程度地幔交代作用的影响。矿物平衡温度计算结果表明包体的平衡温度为989～1142℃,来源深度约为40～70km。Sr-Nd-Hf同位素资料反映二辉橄榄岩包体具有亏损地幔的特征。Re-Os同位素资料显示上述岩石圈地幔的主体形成于显生宙期间,少量具有中元古代Re亏损年龄的样品所代表的古老地幔与本区上覆地壳成因无关,可能是软流圈中固有的较古老的大陆岩石圈地幔。     

云南马关地区岩石圈地幔组成和年龄:地幔橄榄岩包体的Re-Os同位素限制

本文对马关地区新生代碱性玄武岩中的地幔包体进行了系统的岩石学和地球化学研究,并首次进行了包体的Re-Os同位素测试。马关地区的橄榄岩包体主量成分上表现为饱满肥沃的特征;具有不同程度的轻稀土亏损特征,亏损Nb、Ti和Zr等高场强元素(HFSE)以及Ba等大离子亲石元素(LILE);橄榄岩包体的Nd同位素特征表明橄榄岩包体代表的是不均一的亏损地幔。5个橄榄岩全岩样品的Re-Os同位素分析结果表明,样品的Os含量总体较高(3.29×10^-9~3.78×10^-9),接近于造山带橄榄岩体的Os含量,Re含量变化范围较大(0.24×10^-9~0.54×10^-9),与Re的迁移能力较强有关。样品的¹⁸⁷Os/¹⁸⁸Os值在0.12295~0.12530之间变化,与¹⁸⁷Re/¹⁸⁸Os值和Al₂O₃含量之间都不存在较好的相关性,说明Re-Os体系不单纯由熔体抽取过程所控制。橄榄岩包体的Re亏损年龄t_RD为254~604Ma,说明马关地区岩石圈地幔形成的时代应该在新元古代之前。马关地区岩石圈地幔并非是由软流圈上涌新增生的地幔,而是经历了如下演化历史:在新元古代之前,由原始地幔的部分熔融和熔体抽取作用形成了岩石圈地幔,之后经历了熔/流体交代和改造而发生了再富集作用,导致部分地幔橄榄岩逐渐从亏损难熔的特征向饱满肥沃转变,而未遭受熔/流体的改造的橄榄岩仍然保持了难熔亏损的特征。这种熔/流体交代和改造作用很可能与晚二叠纪峨眉山地幔柱的活动有关,而新生代以来印度-亚洲大陆碰撞导致地幔物质向东南方向的侧向流动,诱发软流圈上涌和马关地区的钾质岩浆的活动,也对马关地区岩石圈地幔的改造具有重要的影响,但由于喷发时间较新对Os同位素组成的影响还未显现出来。     

Petrography and Geochemistry of Peridotite Xenoliths from Hannuoba and Significance for Lithospheric Mantle Evolution

Lithospheric Mantle Evolution beneath the Eifel (Germany): Constraints from Sr-Nd-Pb Isotopes and Trace Element Abundances in Spinel Peridotite and Pyroxenite Xenoliths

The Pb isotope compositions of amphiboles and clinopyroxenesin spinel peridotite and pyroxenite mantle xenoliths from theintra-plate Quaternary volcanic fields of the Eifel province(Germany) are strongly correlated with their Sr–Nd isotopeand trace element compositions. High-temperature anhydrous xenolithsfrom a depth of around 60 km have trace element and Sr–Nd–Pbisotope compositions similar to the depleted source of mid-oceanridge basalts (Depleted MORB Mantle, DMM). Amphibole-bearingxenoliths from shallower depths (<45 km) provide evidencefor three temporally distinct episodes of mantle metasomatismin the subcontinental lithosphere: (1) aqueous fluids from anisotopically enriched (EM-like) mantle reservoir caused amphiboleformation during deformation in the shallow continental lithosphericmantle and may be subduction related, probably associated withthe last major tectonic event that influenced the area (Hercynianorogeny). (2) During a second phase of mantle metasomatism theEM-like lithospheric mantle was affected by melts from an ancient,HIMU-like (high time-integrated µ = ²³⁸U/²⁰⁴Pb) mantlesource. The HIMU-like component introduced by these fluids hada much more radiogenic Pb isotope composition than the asthenosphericsource of the widespread Cenozoic magmatism in Europe and maybe linked to reactivation of ancient subducted crustal domainsduring the Hercynian orogeny or to early Cretaceous deep-sourcedmantle plumes. (3) During a brief final stage the heterogeneouslyenriched EM–HIMU subcontinental lithosphere was locallymodified by basaltic melts migrating along fractures and veinsthrough the upper mantle as a consequence of the Cenozoic Eifelvolcanism. Although a DMM component is completely lacking inthe metasomatic fluids of the metasomatic episodes 1 and 2,the vein melts of episode 3 and the Cenozoic Eifel lavas requiremantle sources containing three end-member components (DMM–HIMU–EM).Thus, mobilization of the more depleted mantle material occurredat the earliest in the Tertiary, contemporaneously with thedevelopment of the extensive rift system and main melt generationin Europe. Alternatively, the variety of Sr–Nd–Pbisotope signatures of the metasomatic agents may have been producedby melting of isotopically distinct mantle domains in a heterogeneousuprising mantle plume.

The Evolution of the Upper Mantle beneath the Canary Islands: Information from Trace Elements and Sr isotope Ratios in Minerals in Mantle Xenoliths

Laser ablation microprobe data are presented for olivine, orthopyroxeneand clinopyroxene in spinel harzburgite and lherzolite xenolithsfrom La Palma, Hierro, and Lanzarote, and new whole-rock trace-elementdata for xenoliths from Hierro and Lanzarote. The xenolithsshow evidence of strong major, trace element and Sr isotopedepletion (⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr 0·7027 in clinopyroxene in themost refractory harzburgites) overprinted by metasomatism. Thelow Sr isotope ratios are not compatible with the former suggestionof a mantle plume in the area during opening of the AtlanticOcean. Estimates suggest that the composition of the originaloceanic lithospheric mantle beneath the Canary Islands correspondsto the residues after 25–30% fractional melting of primordialmantle material; it is thus significantly more refractory than‘normal’ mid-ocean ridge basalt (MORB) mantle. Thetrace element compositions and Sr isotopic ratios of the mineralsleast affected by metasomatization indicate that the upper mantlebeneath the Canary Islands originally formed as highly refractoryoceanic lithosphere during the opening of the Atlantic Oceanin the area. During the Canarian intraplate event the uppermantle was metasomatized; the metasomatic processes includecryptic metasomatism, resetting of the Sr–Nd isotopicratios to values within the range of Canary Islands basalts,formation of minor amounts of phlogopite, and melt–wall-rockreactions. The upper mantle beneath Tenerife and La Palma isstrongly metasomatized by carbonatitic or carbonaceous meltshighly enriched in light rare earth elements (REE) relativeto heavy REE, and depleted in Zr–Hf and Ti relative toREE. In the lithospheric mantle beneath Hierro and Lanzarote,metasomatism has been relatively weak, and appears to be causedby high-Si melts producing concave-upwards trace element patternsin clinopyroxene with weak negative Zr and Ti anomalies. Ti–Al–Fe-richharzburgites/lherzolites, dunites, wehrlites and clinopyroxenitesformed from mildly alkaline basaltic melts (similar to thosethat dominate the exposed parts of the islands), and appearto be mainly restricted to magma conduits; the alkali basaltmelts have caused only local metasomatism in the mantle wall-rocksof such conduits. The various metasomatic fluids formed as theresults of immiscible separations, melt–wall-rock reactionsand chromatographic fractionation either from a CO₂-rich basalticprimary melt, or, alternatively, from a basaltic and a siliceouscarbonatite or carbonaceous silicate melt.

Geochemistry and Evolution of Subcontinental Lithospheric Mantle in Central Europe: Evidence from Peridotite Xenoliths of the Kozakov Volcano, Czech Republic

Neogene basanite lavas of Kozákov volcano, located alongthe Lusatian fault in the northeastern Czech Republic, containabundant anhydrous spinel lherzolite xenoliths that providean exceptionally continuous sampling of the upper two-thirdsof central European lithospheric mantle. The xenoliths yielda range of two-pyroxene equilibration temperatures from 680°Cto 1070°C, and are estimated to originate from depths of32–70 km, based on a tectonothermal model for basalticunderplating associated with Neogene rifting. The sub-Kozákovmantle is layered, consisting of an equigranular upper layer(32–43 km), a protogranular intermediate layer that containsspinel–pyroxene symplectites after garnet (43–67km), and an equigranular lower layer (67–70 km). Negativecorrelations of wt % TiO₂, Al₂O₃, and CaO with MgO and clinopyroxenemode with Cr-number in the lherzolites record the effects ofpartial fusion and melt extraction; Y and Yb contents of clinopyroxeneand the Cr-number in spinel indicate 5 to 15% partial melting.Subsequent metasomatism of a depleted lherzolite protolith,probably by a silicate melt, produced enrichments in the largeion lithophile elements, light rare earth elements and highfield strength elements, and positive anomalies in primitivemantle normalized trace element patterns for P, Zr, and Hf.Although there are slight geochemical discontinuities at theboundaries between the three textural layers of mantle, theretends to be an overall decrease in the degree of depletion withdepth, accompanied by a decrease in the magnitude of metasomatism.Clinopyroxene separates from the intermediate protogranularlayer and the lower equigranular layer yield ¹⁴³Nd/¹⁴⁴Nd valuesof 0·51287–0·51307 (_Nd = +4·6 to+8·4) and ⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr values of 0·70328–0·70339.Such values are intermediate with respect to the Nd–Srisotopic array defined by anhydrous spinel peridotite xenolithsfrom central Europe and are similar to those associated withthe present-day low-velocity anomaly in the upper mantle beneathEurope. The geochemical characteristics of the central Europeanlithospheric mantle reflect a complex evolution related to Devonianto Early Carboniferous plate convergence, accretion, and crustalthickening, Late Carboniferous to Permian extension and gravitationalcollapse, and Neogene rifting, lithospheric thinning, and magmatism.

Fluid Assisted Recrystallization in Upper Mantle Peridotite Xenoliths from Kimberlites

The development of recrystallization microstructures has beenstudied in some ‘hot deformed’ peridotite xenolithsfrom the Thaba Putsoa Kimberlite pipe in S. Africa. The xenolithswere deformed to high strains by dislocation creep in the uppermantle and then annealed as they were uplifted by the kimberlitefluid. Static recrystallization occurs during annealing producingeuhedral shaped ‘tablet’ grains. Tablet grain boundariesare sub-parallel to crystal growth habits in olivine and orthopyroxene.This microstructure is characteristic of recrystallization byfluid-assisted grain boundary migration, where a thin fluidfilm is present along the boundary. There is microstructural evidence for a complex fluid infiltrationhistory involving an early Fe-Ti rich metasomatic silicate fluidand later kimberlite fluids. Minor partial melting of clinopyroxenecan also be inferred, which, is consistent with infiltrationof a kimberlite-derived C-H-O rich fluid into the xenoliths.Any of these fluids could have been present along the tabletgrain boundaries during static recrystallization. The occurrenceof tablet grains in ‘cold deformed’ xenoliths, whichhave a simple infiitration history, suggests that a C-H-O richfluid derived from kimberlite is the most probable boundaryfluid in both the hot and cold deformed xenoliths. The occurrence of dynamically stable semi-continuous grain boundaryfluid films during re crystallization indicates that mechanismsof fluid segregation and transport in the upper mantle are likelyto be dependent upon the type of deformation and recrystallizationmechanisms operating. In addition the destabilization of thestatic fluid distribution by grain boundary migration and deformationwill also influence the rheology of the upper mantle where fluidsare present. ^*Present address: Mineralogy Research Centre, Research School of Chemistry, Australian National University Canberra ACT 2601, Australia.     

Petrology and Geochemistry of Mantle Peridotite Xenoliths from SE China

Geochemical data on Type I spinel peridotite and garnet peridotitexenoliths in Cenozoic basalts from SE China demonstrate thatthe lithospheric mantle under this region is heterogeneous.The depletion and enrichment shown by these peridotite xenolithsare not related to their locations as suggested earlier. Samplesfrom individual localities, at the continental margin or thecontinental interior, show large variational ranges from depletedharzburgite to fertile Iherzolite. The measured Nd and Sr isotopiccompositions of clinopyroxene separates range from _Nd 49 to160 and from ⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr 070256 to 070407, respectively. Thedepleted signatures of Sr and Nd isotopic compositions and major-elementcontents (low CaO and Al₂O₃ in most xenoliths require an olddepletion event, probably mid-Proterozftic, and the enrichmentof LREE in the depleted peridotites implies a young metasomaticevent shortly before Cenozoic magmatism. Major-element compositionsof the peridotite xenoliths are controlled largely by the degreeof partial melting, and the extra fertile peridotites (highCaO and Al₂O₃) are probably the products of interaction betweenperidotites and a basaltic component. The equilibrium P–Tconditions, determined from coexisting mineral phases, indicatethat these xenoliths equilibrated over a wide P–T range,from 770 to 1250 C and from 10 to 27 kbar. Calculated oxygenfugacities for most spinel peridotites range from near the FMQbuffer to 25 log units below. The late-stage metasomatism didnot change the redox state in the upper mantle. ^*Corraponding author     

Petrochemistry of the Mantle beneath Thailand: Evidence from Peridotite Xenoliths

Spinel-lherzolites are most abundant among ultramafic xenoliths in Late Cenozoic alkali basalts, which were erupted on Thailand's two lithospheric fragments, namely the Shan-Thai and Indochina microcontinents. Major-element compositions of the Cr-diopside—group xenoliths (Type I) vary considerably—e.g., 0.92 to 5.80 wt% A1₂O₃, 32.7 to 43.2 wt% MgO—covering a range from fertile to depleted compositions relative to primary mantle models. The extra-fertile mantle is evidenced in subchondritic Ca/Al ratios of whole-rocks and the occurrence of high modal orthopyroxene xenolith (websterite), suggesting metasomatism of mantle rocks. Interaction of the xenoliths with host basalts is observed as the formation of spongy rinds and symplectite on clinopyroxene and orthopyroxene, respectively. This results in a decrease of A1₂O₃ and Na₂O with increasing CaO and MgO in the primary clinopyroxene, and locally the formation of K-Na-rich, feldspathic glass within the spongy rinds. Subsolidus re-equilibration also produced compositional gradients observed in pyroxenes, particularly in A1₂O₃ contents, because of the slower diffusivity of Al compared to that of other cations. Olivines have limited compositional variations (Fo_88.5_91.5), in contrast to spinels (Cr# = 5.3 to 52.9). This large range in the Cr#s of spinels is consistent with variable degrees of partial melting among the xenoliths.

A distinction between the mantle beneath the Shan-Thai and the Indochina microcontinents is observed in the oxidation states of the xenoliths and the Mg#s of coexisting pyroxenes and olivines, suggesting an influx of oxidized fluids or melts through the mantle of Indochina. However, both microcontinents were equilibrated at similar P-T, within a range of temperatures from 1003 to 1132°C, with the core temperatures being ～50°C higher than the rim temperatures, and pressures of ~8 to 20 kbar. The calculated temperatures reported previously (Promprated, 1998) and extended with this work, based on different geothermometers, also reveal a heating event, corresponding to the ascent of hot asthenosphere. This asthenospheric upwelling is the most likely process responsible for the absence of garnet lherzolites, due to thermal erosion at the base of lithosphere, and extensive basaltic volcanism in Thailand.

在华北地块东部，河南鹤壁新生代玄武岩中的耐熔橄榄岩捕虏体被认为是克拉通地幔的残留；山东山旺饱满橄榄岩捕虏体被认为是新生代玄武岩所捕获的新生地幔物质，对它们全岩的常量、微量元素，组成单矿物的常量元素和透辉石微量元素进行了对比．结果显示代表古老岩石圈的鹤壁克拉通型地幔和代表新生岩石圈的山旺“大洋型”地幔分别相当于原始地幔经历15％一25％和1％一5％熔融的产物．它们在熔融之后又都遭受了硅酸盐质碳酸岩熔体的交代改造作用，但前者明显强于后者．古老岩石圈橄榄岩的固相线温度受地幔熔／流体的长期交代而降低．由于早中生代时华北地块受扬子地块碰撞的地幔热扰动和软流圈上涌影响，促使橄榄岩熔融．所融出的基性岩浆主要垫托在地壳底部，形成壳-幔过渡带并实现大规模的壳-幔物质和热交换．第三纪以后的热沉降使抬升的软流圈物质冷却垫托在岩石圈底部构成新增生的岩石圈．因此，发生于东部的中、新生代(相对于古生代)岩石圈减薄不是软流圈抬升所引起的简单岩石圈厚度变小，而是伴随着新生地幔物质对古老地幔的置换过程．
