Estimation of the Primary Magma Compositions of an Igneous Rock Series Petrogenetically Associated with Fractional Crystallization with Special Reference to Element Abundance Relationships

A primary magma not only represents the starting point of a fractional crystallization process, but also is the product of an equilibrium or fractional partial melting process in a mantle.Element abundance relationships in the primary magma obey both law of power function for fractional crystallization and the law of fractional linear function for equilibrium partial melting .Based on this double nature of the primary magma, the authors advanced a principle to restore the primary magma composition from that of an igneous rock series with petrogenesis of fractional crystallization and put forward an approach of estimating the element abundance of the primary magma, exempli-fied by the rar-earth elements in the Andes volcanic rock series.     

Subduction—Modified Subcontinental Mantle in South China：Trace Element and Isotope Evidence in Basalts from Hainan Island

Cenozoic lavas from Hainan Island,South China,comprise quartz tholeiite,olivine tholeiite,alkali basalt,and basanite and form a continuous,tholeiite-dominated,compositional spectrum.Highly incompatible elements and their relationships with isotopes in these lavas are shown to be useful in evaluating mantle-source composition,whereas modeling suggests that ratios of elements with bulk partition coefficients significantly larger than those of Nb and Ta may be sensitive to partial melting.Th/Ta and La/Nb ratios of alkali basalts are lower than those of tholeiites,and they are all lower than those of the primitive mantle,These ratios correlate positively with ^207Pb/^204Pb and ^87Sr/^86Sr ratios.Such relationships can be explained by mixing of depleted and enriched source components.A depleted component is indicated by alkali basalt compositions and is similar to some depleted OIB (PREMA).The enriched component,similar to sediment compositions,is indicated by tholeiites with high LILE/HFSE,^207Pb/^204Pb,and ^87Sr/^86Sr ratios.In general,basalts from Hainan and the South China Basin(SCB)share common geochemical characters.e.g.high Rb/Sr,Th/Ta,^207Pb/^206Pb,and low Ba/Th ratios.Such a geochemical trend is comparable to that of EMII-type OIB and best explained as the result of subduction.Occurrence of these characteristics in both continental Hainan basalts and SCB seamout basalts indicates the presence of a South China geochemical domain that exists in the mantle region below the lithosphere.     

REE and Other Trace Element Chemistry of Oldhamite（CaS） in the Qingzhen Chondrite（EH3） and Their Genetic Implications

Instrumental neutron activation analysis(INAA) of 14 single oldhamite grains separated from the Qingzhen chondrite (EH3) for refractory(La,Ce,Sm ,Eu,Yb,Lu,Ca,Sc,Hf, and Th),volatile (Na,Cr,Zn,Se,Br,etc.)and siderophile elements (Fe,Ni,Co,Ir,Au ,and As) revealed that oldhamite is highly rich in refractory elements.The mineral serves as the principal carrier of REE and contains about 80% of the REEs in the Qingzhen enstatite chondrite .Furthermore, the large enrichment of LREE relative to HREE is noticed in oldhamite from the Qingzhen .In general, the oldhamite from metal-sulfide assemblages is richer in REE than that from the matrix,i.e.,the earlier the oldhamite grains condensed, the richer they are in REE. Meanwhile.oldhamite is also rich in vol-atile elements such as Se,Br, etc.In terms of the distribution of trace elements in oldhamitc from the Qingzhen ,the chondrite is srggested to have resulted from high-temperature condensation of solar nebula.     

Trace Element Geochemistry of Tertiary Continental Alkali Basalts from the Liuhe—Yizheng Area,Jiangsu Province,China

Reported in this paper are the chemical compositions and trace element (REE,Ba,Rb,Sr,Nb,Zr,Ni,Cr,V,Ga,Y,Sc,Zn,Cu,etc)abundances of Tertiary continental alkali basalts from the Liube-yizheng area,Jiangsu Province,China.The olivine basalt,alkali olivine basalt and basanite are all derived from evolved melts which were once af-fected by different degrees of fractional crystallization of olivine and clinopyroxene(1:2)under high pres-sures.The initial melts were derived from the garnet lherzolite-type mantle source through low-degree par-tial melting.The mantle source has been affected by recent mantle-enrichment events(e.g.mantle metasomatism),resulting in incompatible trace element enrichment and long-term depletion of radiogenic isotopic compositions of Sr and Nd.

Errors Involved in the Taylor‘s Model for the Crustal Composition and Evolution—An Analysis of Their Causers

It is suggested in this paper that the famous Taylor‘s model for the composition and evolution of the continental crust consists of three closely related key links.These links include an assumption that the surfical environment has no effect on the sedimentary REE patterns and the REE patterns in sdhales can reflect the composition of their provenance,a discovery about the discrepancy of sedimentary REE patterns between Archean and Proteroxoic,and a deduction that there was a global scale K-granitoid event at the end of the Archean.Based on a detailed discussion,this paper substantially negates the rationality of the Taylor‘s model and argues that its three critical links be three great errors indeed.Moreover,some other deficiencies or problems it confronts are described in this paper.The authors suggest that what led to the errors invoved in the Taylor‘s model is its wrongly neglecting the effect of the sedimentary envronment on the chemical composition of sediments.and that the environment should be an important factor affecting the distribution patterns of trace elements in the sediments.     

Fluid Inclusions in the Xichang Basin and Their Applications in Oil—Gas Exploration

Fluid inclusions are commonly observed in various stages during the diage-netic evolution and the generation,migration and accumulation of hydrocarbons in Lower Permian carbonate rocks in the Xichang Basin, providing direct physico-chemical evidence for the process.Altogether seven stages can be recognized,ie.,the penecontemporane-ous, early and mid-late diagenetic stages, the epidiagenetic stage and the early, middle and late reburying stages.Karst and dissolution pores and structural fissures developed during the epidiagenetic and reburying stages constitute the major reservoirs for hydro-carbon accumulation.Oil generation and migration began in the early reburying stage in Late Permian time and developed to its climax in the middle reburying stage in the Triassic period, followed by extensive generation and migration of natural gases during the late stage of reburying in the Jurassic and later periods.The generation,migration and accumulation of hydrocarbons are closely related to Hercynian basalt eruption and Indosinian and Yenshanian tecto-magmatism.     

U—Pb Dating of Anatectic Migmatites in the Yunkai Block,Gaozhou,Western Guangdong

The regional migmatites in the Yunkai Block were formed under low-pressure metamorphism.The majority of their protolith are biotite-rich peraluminous gneisses.Detailed field observations,and studies of petrology,spatial distribution of minerals and geochemistry suggest that the leucosomes were derived from anatexis.The single grain zircon U-Pb dating data indicate that a pulse of migmatization occurred at 394-449 Ma and may have resulted from the large-scale Caledonian magmatism in the Yunkai Block.     

Authigenetic K—feldspars and Their Relations to Sn—polymetallic Mineralization in the Dachang Ore Field

Sn-polymetallic ores at Dachang,Guangxi Autonomous Region,China,are hosted in Middle-Upper Devonian reef limestones,siliceous rocks,banded and lenticular limestones,etc.Two types of orebodies can be distinguished according to their telations to the bedding:one is distributed along the bedding and the.other cuts across the bedding.Sn and sulfide orebodies associated with K-feldspare are mostly characterized by laminated ore structure. Microscopic examinations of K-feldspar-bearing rocks,in conjunction with X-ray diffraction,chemical composiion and cathodoluminescence data for K-feldspars,as well as their telations to mineralization,the authors consider that the K-feldspare are of authigenic origin,subordinate to the epigenetic stage of diagenesis,They resulted from the reaction of mixed,deep-seated,circulating underground hot waters rich in K,Al and Si with argillaceous carbonates during the Indo nesian orogenic movement.It is suggested more attention should be paid to the effect of authigenic K-feldspars on Sn mineralization.In the meantime the event related to circulating underground hot waters should also be taken into account so as to provide new clues to blind ore prospecting.

用丰度关系法计算分离结晶岩浆岩系总分配系数

一种新的分配系数计算方法是以分离结晶的岩浆岩元素丰度(x,y)互成幂函数关系为理论基础,以冰岛分离结晶成因的玄武-流纹岩系的元素含量为例,运用元素比值与含量成份演化线的斜率即丰度常数R,计算分离结晶岩浆岩系分配系数。该方法的关键是选取理想元素,即分配系数极小(D<=0.01)的即极亲岩浆元素,然后选择与它配对的元素,通过作图或计算出配对元素的总分配系,进而计算出其它元素的总分配系数。这种方法的理论基础严密、操作简单、结果直观、可靠,与所研究岩系的实际情况十分吻合。     

A stochastic model of fractional crystallization and its application to the Japanese geosynclinal basalt

A stochastic model of the magmatic differentiation by fractional crystallization is given. The probability distribution of the quantity of crystallized solid removed from silicate melt was assumed to be binomial at any stage of the differentiation. According to this model, when concentrations of an element are transformed into their powers by using the reciprocal of the difference between bulk-partition coefficient for the element and unity as an exponent, the resultant frequency-distribution pattern becomes absolutely normal. The patterns of concentrations, however, cannot be expressed by a particular type of function but are variable according to the values of bulk-partition coefficients. Frequency distributions of element concentrations were computed under selected conditions on the basis of the model. The result shows that the skewed pattern often observed in frequency distributions of minor-element concentrations is explained by this fractional crystallization process. The frequency distributions of Ni and Cr concentrations in the geosynclinal basalt of southwestern Japan were examined in terms of this model. It was concluded that the model can be applied to the formation of the basalt concerning at least these two elements.
