地幔中铂族元素丰度是基于地球形成理论所得计算值的两三百倍,无论是地幔中还是球粒陨石中,铂族元素之间的比值是相近的;对于这一现象有很多解释,其中被普遍接受的是:地核形成后(核幔分异完成后),大约占现在地球质量0.5%-1%的球粒陨石物质加入地幔,即可造成现在地幔中的铂族元素在丰度与比值方面的特征,这就是后增薄层模型(Late-veneer model)。但是,这一模型受到很多地幔样品铂族元素具非球粒陨石比值和高压下Co、Ni亲铁性测定结果的挑战。最近的地幔橄榄岩各相铂族元素精确测定、高压下Pt、Pd金属相与硅酸盐分配系数的测定,以及Re-Os同位素的研究都支持后增薄层模型。 相似文献

亲铜(亲铁)元素在行星增生演化、核幔分异、地幔岩浆过程、壳幔相互作用以及金属矿床成因等领域具有举足轻重的作用。本文从亲铜元素的地球化学性质出发,介绍了"高维度思维"的亲铜元素含量比值及其在地球科学领域的初步应用:①获得同一份样品中不同亲铜元素含量可在一定程度上降低样品的不均一性(块金效应)对含量比值的影响;②Cu/Ag值可以约束不同高温岩浆过程中硫化物固液状态和亲铜元素地球化学性质,进而认识地幔、洋壳和大陆地壳间的联系;③具有不同分配系数的亲铜元素含量的比值可以鉴别岩浆硫化物饱和史,比如通过亲铜元素的分异约束火星陨石母岩浆的硫化物不饱和演化历史;④依据In-Cd-Zn在硅酸盐地球的含量以及它们的相对亲铜亲铁性质,地球主体增生物质已经消失,不能由陨石代表。 相似文献

南天山北缘榆树沟变质基性超基性岩的地球化学及其成因机制 总被引:12,自引:0,他引:12
榆树沟变质基性-超基性岩带出露于塔里木板块与哈萨克斯坦板块之间的南天山北缘,主要由变质橄榄岩和变质基性岩组成。变质橄榄岩富相容元素Cr、Co和Ni,贫不相容元素,太离子亲石元素Ba、Rb和Sr含量较低,与世界典型蛇绿岩相似,代表了地幔残留物特征。REE分布模式为LREE亏损型,REE含量小于或等于2.5倍球粒陨石,类似于阿尔卑斯型变质橄榄岩,显示榆树沟的变质橄榄岩是原始地幔岩部分熔融萃取出玄武岩后的残留物。变质基性岩绝大部分为LREE亏损型,类似于N-MORB。所有样品均以富集Nb和Ta、高场强元素不分异,以及微量元素含量低为特征,批示岩浆源区总体上类似于MORB,Nb、Ta富集可能与OIB型源区有关,Nd、Sr同位素特征也显示其具有OIB型源区特征。综合分析认为,榆对沟变质基性岩石的岩浆可能经历了两个阶段的演化过程,即上地幔底部或下地幔顶部的OIB型原始岩浆形成阶段和软流圈地幔亏损阶段。 相似文献

科学地按不同类型考察地幔岩的稀土元素丰度是深部地球化学领域重要的基础研究。由于稀土元素作为微量示踪元素包含着夭体演化和地球演化的大量信息,所以地幔岩稀土地球化学在揭示核-幔分离和壳-幔分异规律方面具有重要的意义。普遍估计,原始地幔的稀土元素丰度应是普通球粒陨石简单的倍数关系。因此,实际考察各种类型地幔岩的稀土元素含量和相对丰度,可能加深我们对不同构造区域地幔地球化学特征及其演化的认识。例如地幔微 相似文献

俯冲带是地壳与地幔之间物质交换的主要场所.前人对大洋俯冲带壳幔相互作用进行了大量研究,但是对俯冲带壳幔相互作用的物理化学过程和机理仍缺乏明确认识.在大陆俯冲带出露有造山带橄榄岩,它们来自俯冲板片之上的地幔楔,是解决这个问题的理想样品.通过对大别-苏鲁和柴北缘造山带橄榄岩进行系统的岩石学和地球化学研究,发现地幔楔橄榄岩由于俯冲地壳的交代作用而含有新生锆石和残留锆石,它们能为地壳交代作用时间、交代介质来源、性质和组成提供制约.地幔楔橄榄岩在大陆碰撞过程的不同阶段受到了俯冲大陆地壳衍生的多期不同性质流体的交代作用.地幔楔橄榄岩还受到了陆壳俯冲之前古俯冲洋壳衍生流体的交代作用.深俯冲陆壳衍生熔体与橄榄岩反应形成的石榴辉石岩具有高的水含量,能提供高水含量的地幔源区. 相似文献

俯冲地壳衍生流体交代地幔楔,是产生俯冲带岩浆作用的重要机制.但是,目前人们对俯冲大陆物质改造地幔楔的岩石学过程和机理仍缺乏深入认识,造山带橄榄岩是解析这一问题的直接样品.通过对大别-苏鲁造山带橄榄岩进行系统的矿物学、岩石学和地球化学研究,发现橄榄石Ni/Co比值可有效区分幔源和壳源造山带橄榄岩,揭示幔源造山带橄榄岩起源于华北岩石圈地幔.苏鲁李家屯纯橄岩在进入俯冲带之前就已在地幔内部经历了碳酸盐熔体交代.大别毛屋和苏鲁蒋庄橄榄岩及其交代脉体记录了约170~200 km深度的俯冲带壳幔相互作用过程.深俯冲陆壳释放的富Si-Al质熔体可不同程度地改造地幔楔底部,形成富石榴石和富辉石的交代岩,并引发强烈的Os同位素分馏效应.该过程不仅改变地幔楔岩性和化学组成,还能够改变交代介质成分,为俯冲带各类深部地幔岩浆提供源区物质.因此,大陆深俯冲是导致上地幔不均一的重要途径. 相似文献

球粒陨石标准化的稀土元素分布型式表明二辉橄榄岩和方辉橄榄岩具有平坦的分布型式,二辉橄榄岩分布在世界二辉橄榄分布区域内,方辉橄榄岩HREE含量较低;辉石岩的分布型式与印度洋中脊玄武岩公布型式相近,玄武岩的分布型式明显亏损重稀土元素,它与夏威夷碱性橄榄玄武岩分布型式相近以.稀土元素分配系数的计算表明,二辉椰榄岩和玄武岩岩浆之间、方辉橄榄岩阳辉石岩岩浆之间处于平衡.辉石岩岩浆和玄武岩岩浆是起源于上地慢的原始岩浆.这与辉石岩和玄武岩主要元素的化学成分一致.稀土元素的研究暗示了该区土地馒曾发生过稀土元素的分异.在辉石岩浆形成之前,在上地幔的较高部位即玄武岩岩浆的源区轻稀土元素微具富集,而在上地幔的梢下部位即辉石岩岩浆形成的源区轻度亏损了轻稀土元素 相似文献

橄榄岩—熔体相互作用过程中Re-Os体系的变化趋势: 对华北新生代地幔橄榄岩Re-Os年龄含义的启示 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
橄榄岩的Re-Os同位素体系作为探讨岩石圈地幔形成年龄的重要手段已受到人们越来越多的重视。然而,Re-Os体系是否会受到橄榄岩的低温蚀变如蛇纹石化和地幔交代作用或橄榄岩—熔体相互作用的影响并不十分清楚。本文在总结国际上典型造山带橄榄岩剖面研究和地幔橄榄岩捕虏体研究的基础上,发现橄榄岩的Re-Os同位素体系基本不受蛇纹石化等低温蚀变作用的影响; 但橄榄岩—熔体相互作用会造成橄榄岩的Re-Os体系的变化即Re或Os的带入。当熔体/岩石比例较小时(≤1),橄榄岩—熔体相互作用会造成橄榄岩的Re含量显著增加,而放射成因的Os同位素即187Os增量有限。但当熔体/岩石比例很大时(≥1),会造成187Os同位素显著增加。同时,橄榄岩的Re含量与中等程度不相容主、微量元素如Al、Ti、Yb的正相关关系可以通过橄榄岩的两阶段演化模式来解释,即早期的部分熔融残留和后期的橄榄岩—熔体相互作用共同影响的结果。橄榄岩的Re含量与Cr含量的正相关关系进一步说明了这一问题。上述结果对华北东部岩石圈地幔的演化过程有重要的启示作用。因为华北东部古生代时期的确存在太古宙岩石圈地幔,然而新生代时期地幔橄榄岩捕虏体普遍具有元古宙而非太古宙的事实证明橄榄岩—熔体的相互作用的确广泛存在,从而造成岩石圈地幔橄榄岩变年轻。因此,新生代地幔捕虏体的Re-Os同位素年龄并不是岩石圈地幔的形成年龄,而是混合作用的结果。汉诺坝地幔橄榄岩的Re含量和Sr、Nd同位素组成符合橄榄岩—多元熔体相互作用的混合趋势,其橄榄岩的全岩Al2O3含量和橄榄石Fo的反相关性能够通过橄榄岩—熔体相互作用来解释。 相似文献

随着分析技术的发展和数据的积累,人们逐渐认识到PGE在地球化学研究方面具有潜在的应用价值。但地幔中PGE的存在形式目前尚不清楚,在许多方面还有争议。文中通过大量的实例综述了近年来PGE的分异机制和其在上地幔分布不均一性方面取得的进展以及存在的问题,结果表明:除Au外,蚀变作用并不影响PGE的分异;PGE主要以硫化物或合金的形式赋存于地幔岩石中,其分布不均匀,单一地依靠PGE与MgO,Cr,Ni的相关性来探讨部分熔融、分离结晶过程中橄榄石、尖晶石、铬铁矿对PGE分异的影响是不全面的,必须考虑硫化物的作用;地幔岩石具有包裹体和粒间两种不同PGE分配模式的硫化物。地幔源区或板内携带PGE流体交代以粒间硫化物为主的地幔岩石。使其PGE发生分异;不管是核幔分离后外核物质的返回,还是单一硫化物的作用都不能完全否定陨石撞击的地球增生假说。在大的区域,上地幔PGE的分布是均一的,但在一定范围内由于不同的大地构造背景,其PGE的分布显示不均一性。 相似文献

作为非传统稳定同位素的代表,Li同位素已被广泛应用于示踪与熔体和流体相关的地质过程。地幔橄榄岩高度不均一的Li含量和Li同位素组成特征是熔/流体与地幔橄榄岩相互作用过程中同位素分馏作用及温度下降过程中Li在矿物之间扩散分馏的结果,同位素扩散现象通常被矿物颗粒边部的组成特征所记录。由于Li在橄榄石中的扩散速度比在辉石中慢,所以大颗粒橄榄石核部的Li含量和同位素组成更能反映岩石圈地幔的组成,而辉石的组成特征更多地记录了后期的过程。大量地幔捕虏体的锂同位素组成特征研究表明,华北克拉通岩石圈地幔经历了蚀变洋壳在俯冲过程中、残留俯冲板片在深部地幔、以及上涌的软流圈所释放的不同组成的熔/流体的改造过程。由于改造作用的多阶段性和改造程度的不同,华北克拉通东部与中部地幔橄榄岩的组成特征具有系统性的差异。Li同位素与其他地球化学指标的联合示踪是未来地幔地球化学研究的发展趋势。

An attempt has been made to estimate the chemical composition of the earth's primitive mantle by a critical evaluation of data derived from ultramafic mantle samples and partial melting model calculations for mafic and ultramafic magmas of various ages.Compatible (Al, Ca, Si, Mg, Fe) and moderately incompatible (Ti, Zr, heavy and middle rare earth) elements in basaltic magma sources have not changed significantly since the early Archaean (~3.5 Byr). Estimated abundances for refractory lithophile elements (such as Al, Ca, Ti, Zr, Y, Se, REE etc.) in the primitive mantle are about 2.0 times ordinary chondrites (~ 1.1 times Cl chondrites relative to Mg). Highly incompatible volatile elements (K, Rb, Cs, Tl, Pb etc.) are depleted in the mantle throughout geological time. Abundances of Fe, Ni and Co are obtained on the basis of values for ultramafic nodules and model calculations using komatiites of various ages. The results show little (? 20%?) dispersion and there is no obvious secular variation since 3.5 Byr. Noble metals show similar effects. These data permit constraints to be placed on the timing of core formation.The estimated elemental abundances for the primitive mantle are normalized to Cl chondrites relative to Mg and plotted against the solar condensation temperature at 10?4 atm. Above 700 K there are two parallel trends which are defined by lithophile elements (Al, Ca, REE, Ti, Mg, Si, Cr, Mn, Na, K, Rb, F, Zn etc.) and siderophile elements (W, Ni, Co, P, As, Ag, Sb and Ge) respectively. The depletion factor for the siderophile trend relative to the lithophile trend is about 0.085. Within each trend there is a continuous depletion towards lower temperature. A third trend is defined by noble metals (Ir, Os, Re, Pd, Pt and Au) with a depletion factor of about 0.003 relative to Cl chondrites. These trends are interpreted in terms of core-mantle differentiation and volatility-controlled processes operating before and during earth accretion. 相似文献

Osmium, Ru, Ir, Pt, Pd and Re abundances and 187Os/188Os data on peridotites were determined using improved analytical techniques in order to precisely constrain the highly siderophile element (HSE) composition of fertile lherzolites and to provide an updated estimate of HSE composition of the primitive upper mantle (PUM). The new data are used to better constrain the origin of the HSE excess in Earth’s mantle. Samples include lherzolite and harzburgite xenoliths from Archean and post-Archean continental lithosphere, peridotites from ultramafic massifs, ophiolites and other samples of oceanic mantle such as abyssal peridotites. Osmium, Ru and Ir abundances in the peridotite data set do not correlate with moderately incompatible melt extraction indicators such as Al2O3. Os/Ir is chondritic in most samples, while Ru/Ir, with few exceptions, is ca. 30% higher than in chondrites. Both ratios are constant over a wide range of Al2O3 contents, but show stronger scatter in depleted harzburgites. Platinum, Pd and Re abundances, their ratios with Ir, Os and Ru, and the 187Os/188Os ratio (a proxy for Re/Os) show positive correlations with Al2O3, indicating incompatible behavior of Pt, Pd and Re during mantle melting. The empirical sequence of peridotite-melt partition coefficients of Re, Pd and Pt as derived from peridotites () is consistent with previous data on natural samples. Some harzburgites and depleted lherzolites have been affected by secondary igneous processes such as silicate melt percolation, as indicated by U-shaped patterns of incompatible HSE, high 187Os/188Os, and scatter off the correlations defined by incompatible HSE and Al2O3. The bulk rock HSE content, chondritic Os/Ir, and chondritic to subchondritic Pt/Ir, Re/Os, Pt/Re and Re/Pd of many lherzolites of the present study are consistent with depletion by melting, and possibly solid state mixing processes in the convecting mantle, involving recycled oceanic lithosphere. Based on fertile lherzolite compositions, we infer that PUM is characterized by a mean Ir abundance of 3.5 ± 0.4 ng/g (or 0.0080 ± 0.0009*CI chondrites), chondritic ratios involving Os, Ir, Pt and Re (Os/IrPUM of 1.12 ± 0.09, Pt/IrPUM = 2.21 ± 0.21, Re/OsPUM = 0.090 ± 0.002) and suprachondritic ratios involving Ru and Pd (Ru/IrPUM = 2.03 ± 0.12, Pd/IrPUM = 2.06 ± 0.31, uncertainties 1σ). The combination of chondritic and modestly suprachondritic HSE ratios of PUM cannot be explained by any single planetary fractionation process. Comparison with HSE patterns of chondrites shows that no known chondrite group perfectly matches the PUM composition. Similar HSE patterns, however, were found in Apollo 17 impact melt rocks from the Serenitatis impact basin [Norman M.D., Bennett V.C., Ryder G., 2002. Targeting the impactors: siderophile element signatures of lunar impact melts from Serenitatis. Earth Planet. Sci. Lett, 217-228.], which represent mixtures of chondritic material, and a component that may be either of meteoritic or indigenous origin. The similarities between the HSE composition of PUM and the bulk composition of lunar breccias establish a connection between the late accretion history of the lunar surface and the HSE composition of the Earth’s mantle. Although late accretion following core formation is still the most viable explanation for the HSE abundances in the Earth’s mantle, the “late veneer” hypothesis may require some modification in light of the unique PUM composition. 相似文献

Tungsten is a moderately siderophile high-field-strength element that is hydrophile and widely regarded as highly incompatible during mantle melting. In an effort to extend empirical knowledge regarding the behaviour of W during the latter process, we report new high-precision trace element data (W, Th, U, Ba, La, Sm) that represent both terrestrial and planetary reservoirs: MORB (11), abyssal peridotites (8), eucrite basalts (3), and carbonaceous chondrites (8). A full trace element suite is also reported for Cordilleran Permian ophiolite peridotites (12) to better constrain the behaviour of W in the upper mantle. In addition, we report our long-term averages for a number of USGS (BIR-1, BHVO-1, BHVO-2, PCC-1, DTS-1) and GSJ (JA-3, JP-1) standard reference materials, some of which we conclude to be heterogeneous and contaminated with respect to W. The most significant finding of this study is that many of the highly depleted upper mantle peridotites contain far higher W concentrations than expected. In the absence of convincing indications for alteration, re-enrichment or contamination, we propose that the W excess was caused by retention in an Os-Ir alloy phase, whose stability is dependent on fO2 of the mantle source region. This explanation could help to account for the particularly low W content of N-MORB and implies that the lithophile behaviour of W in basaltic rocks is not an accurate representation of the behaviour in the melt source. These findings then become relevant to the interpretation of W-isotopic data for achondrites, where the fractionation of Hf from W during melting is used to infer the Hf/W of the parent body mantle. This is exemplified by the differentiation chronology of the eucrite parent body (EPB), which has been modeled with a melt source with high Hf/W. By contrast, we explore the alternative scenario with a low mantle Hf/W on the EPB. Using available eucrite literature data, a maximum core segregation age of 1.2 ± 1.2 Myr after the closure of CAIs is calculated with a more prolonged time between core formation and mantle fractionation of ca. 2 Myr. This timeline is consistent with most recent published chronologies of the EPB differentiation based on the 53Mn-53Cr and 26Al-26Mg systems. 相似文献

Platinum-group element (PGE) abundances in mantle rocks are generally considered to result from a late meteorite addition to the early Earth, post-dating the core separation event. As such, PGEs are key tracers for the Earth accretion history. For decades, the PGEs systematics of undepleted mantle peridotites has been used to constrain the composition of meteorite impactors involved in the late veneer material. Despite multiple evidence of considerable modifications by partial melting, harzburgites from the Sumail ophiolite (Oman) display a mean PGE composition very akin to recently refined estimates for the Primitive Upper Mantle (PUM) of the Earth. These rocks document a resetting of the PUM signature by percolating basaltic melts, which precipitated Pd-enriched Cu–Ni sulphides within a strongly Pd-depleted residual harzburgitic protolith. Such a resetting casts doubt on both the reliability of any PUM estimates and relevance of the PUM concept itself, at least for PGEs. 相似文献

Comparative stable isotope geochemistry of Ni, Cu, Zn, and Fe in chondrites and iron meteorites 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

High-precision Ni isotopic variations are reported for the metal phase of equilibrated and unequilibrated ordinary chondrites, carbonaceous chondrites, iron meteorites, mesosiderites, and pallasites. We also report new Zn and Cu isotopic data for some of these samples and combine them with literature Fe, Cu, and Zn isotope data to constrain the fractionation history of metals during nebular (vapor/solid) and planetary (metal/sulfide/silicate) phase changes.The observed variations of the 62Ni/58Ni, 61Ni/58Ni, and 60Ni/58Ni ratios vary linearly with mass difference and define isotope fractionation lines in common with terrestrial samples. This implies that Ni was derived from a single homogeneous reservoir. While no 60Ni anomaly is detected within the analytical uncertainties, Ni isotopic fractionation up to 0.45‰ per mass-difference unit is observed. The isotope compositions of Ni and Zn in chondrites are positively correlated. We suggest that, in ordinary chondrites, exchange between solid phases, in particular metal and silicates, and vapor followed by mineral sorting during accretion are the main processes controlling these isotopic variations. The positive correlation between Ni and Zn isotope compositions contrasts with a negative correlation between Ni (and Zn) and Cu isotope compositions, which, when taken together, do not favor a simple kinetic interpretation. The observed transition element similarities between different groups of chondrites and iron meteorites are consistent with the genetic relationships inferred from oxygen isotopes (IIIA/pallasites and IVA/L chondrites). Copper is an exception, which we suggest may be related to separate processing of sulfides either in the vapor or during core formation. 相似文献
