Trace element geochemistry of the Mt Vulture carbonatites,southern Italy

The Mt Vulture carbonatites are the only carbonatite occurrence in the southern Apennines. We present new trace element data for these rocks in order to evaluate the factors influencing rare earth element (REE) and other trace element fractionations and their REE grade. This study focuses on massive hyalo-alvikites from two lava flows and one dike, which have different relative abundances of silicate and carbonate (i.e. Si/Ca). These differences are also evident from CaO/(CaO + MgO + FeO(T) + MnO) and Sr/Ba ratios. The REE grade of the Mt Vulture carbonatites is very similar to that of the global average for calcio-carbonatites. R-mode factor analysis shows that most of the trace element variance reflects the relative roles of carbonate and silicate minerals in influencing trace element distributions. Silicates largely control heavy rare earth element (HREE), transition metal, Zr, and Th abundances, whereas carbonate minerals control light rare earth element (LREE), Ba, and Pb abundances. In addition, apatite influences LREE concentrations. Increasing silica contents are accompanied by decreases in (La/Yb)N and (La/Sm)N ratios and less marked LREE enrichment. In contrast, higher carbonate contents are associated with increases in (La/Yb)N and (La/Sm)N. The Si/Ca ratio has little influence on Eu anomalies and middle rare earth element (MREE) to HREE fractionations. Apatite has a negligible effect on inter-REE fractionations amongst the carbonatites.     

Source and mobility of minor and trace elements in a volcanic aquifer system: Mt. Vulture (southern Italy)

In this paper we provide a geochemical investigation on 34 groundwater samples in the Mt. Vulture volcanic aquifer representing one of the most important groundwater resources of the southern Italy pumped for drinking and irrigation supply. The present study includes the first data on the abundance and mobility of minor and trace elements and the thermodynamic considerations on water–rock interaction processes in order to evaluate the conditions of alkali basalt weathering by waters enriched in magma-derived CO₂. The results highlight the occurrence of two hydrofacies: bicarbonate alkaline-earth and alkaline waters deriving from low-temperature leaching of volcanic rocks of Mt. Vulture, and bicarbonate-sulfate-alkaline waters (high-salinity waters) related to prolonged water circulation in alkali and feldspathoids-rich pyroclastic layers interbedded with clay deposits. The Al-normalized relative mobility (RM) of metals in Vulture's aquifer varies over a wide range (10^− 1 < RM < 10⁴), confirming that the basalt weathering is not a congruent and isochemical process. Chemical equilibrium studies show that the bicarbonate alkaline-earth and alkaline waters, having a short interaction with silicate minerals, plot very close to the kaolinite–smectite stability boundary, whereas the high-salinity waters fall in the stability field of smectite and muscovite because of prolonged interaction with alkali and feldspathoids-rich pyroclastic layers. Overall, for the bicarbonate alkaline-earth and alkaline waters, the release of toxic metals in solutions is related to the spatial variation of host-rock geochemistry, the high-salinity waters, collected near urban areas, show values higher than legal limits for Ni and As, likely as a consequence of anthropogenic contribution.     

The role of apatite fractionation and REE distribution in alkaline rocks from Mt. Etna, Sicily

Summary Melt inclusions in olivine and apatite, and REE distribution of apatite were studied in one of the least differentiated members of the oldest alkaline succession of Mt. Etna. Apatite occurs both as microphenocrysts and as inclusions in olivine crystals, even in the most Mg-rich ones (Fo₈₂). In addition phenocrysts and groundmass are composed of plagioclase, clinopyroxene, olivine and magnetite. Apatite is fluor-apatite, with rather homogeneous major element (measured by electron microprobe, EMP) and REE (measured by laser-ablation microprobe, LAM, and by secondary ion mass spectrometer, SIMS) contents. REE are enriched when compared to the whole rock, with contents in olivine-hosted apatite lower than or the same as those of the microphenocryst cores; these in turn show lower REE values than their edges. Distribution coefficients, calculated from LAM data of microphenocryst edges and whole rock analyses, are higher for LREE (8–12) than for HREE (5–4). In the SiO₂ vs. P₂O₅ diagram melt inclusions and whole rock samples define a trend that is consistent with continuous apatite extraction from a “high P” basalt magma. Finally, whole rock data show LREE/HREE (La/Lu)_n enrichment ratios from hawaiites to mugearites (=1.14), consistent with apatite fractionation, lower than those documented for lavas of the “low P” type (enrichment ratio = 1.34–1.37), where conditions for apatite saturation were not established.

Trace element and isotopic variations from Mt. Vulture to Campanian volcanoes: constraints for slab detachment and mantle inflow beneath southern Italy

New Sr–Nd–Pb isotopic ratios and trace element data for volcanic mafic rocks outcropping along a E–W transect in southern Italy, from Mt. Vulture to Neapolitan volcanoes, are reported. The variation of LILE/HFSE, HFSE/HFSE and radiogenic isotopes along this transect indicates that all of these volcanoes contain both intra-plate and subduction-related signatures, with the former decreasing from Mt. Vulture to Campanian volcanoes. New data are also reported for the Paleocene alkaline rocks from Pietre Nere (Apulia foreland), which show isotopic ratios mostly overlapping the values for Mediterranean intra-plate volcanoes as well as the Eocene–Oligocene alkaline mafic lavas from the northern Adria plate. Pietre Nere provides evidence for an OIB mantle composition of FOZO-type, free of subduction influences, that is present beneath the Adria plate (Africa) before its collision with Europe. After this collision, and formation of the southern Apennines, westward inflow of mantle from the Adria plate to the Campanian area occurred, as a consequence of slab break off. Interaction of subduction components with inflowing Adria mantle generated hybrid sources beneath the Vulture–Campania area, which can explain the compositional features of both Mt. Vulture and the Campanian mafic rocks. Therefore, mafic magmas from these volcanoes represent variable degrees of mixing between different mantle components.     

Carbonatites in a subduction system: The Pleistocene alvikites from Mt. Vulture (southern Italy)

We report here, for the first time, on the new finding of extrusive calciocarbonatite (alvikite) rocks from the Pleistocene Mt. Vulture volcano (southern Italy). These volcanic rocks, which represent an outstanding occurrence in the wider scenario of the Italian potassic magmatism, form lavas, pyroclastic deposits, and feeder dikes exposed on the northern slope of the volcano. The petrography, mineralogy and whole-rock chemistry attest the genuine carbonatitic nature of these rocks, that are characterized by high to very high contents of Sr, Ba, U, LREE, Nb, P, F, Th, high Nb/Ta and LREE/HREE ratios, and low contents of Ti, Zr, K, Rb, Na and Cs. The O–C isotope compositions are close to the “primary igneous carbonatite” field and, thus, are compatible with an ultimate mantle origin for these rocks. The Sr–Nd–Pb–B isotope compositions, measured both in the alvikites and in the silicate volcanic rocks, indicate a close genetic relationship between the alvikites and the associated melilitite/nephelinite rocks. Furthermore, these latter products are geochemically distinct from the main foiditic-phonolitic association of Mt. Vulture. We propose a petrogenetic/geodynamic interpretation which has important implications for understanding the relationships between carbonatites and orogenic activity. In particular, we propose that the studied alvikites are generated through liquid unmixing at crustal levels, starting from nephelinitic or melilititic parent liquids. These latter were produced in a hybrid mantle resulting from the interaction through a vertical slab window, between a metasomatized mantle wedge, moving eastward from the Tyrrhenian/Campanian region, and the local Adriatic mantle. The occurrence of carbonatite rocks at Mt. Vulture, that lies on the leading edge of the Southern Apennines accretionary prism, is taken as an evidence for the carbonatation of the mantle sources of this volcano. We speculate that mantle carbonatation is related to the introduction of sedimentary carbon from the Adriatic lithosphere during Tertiary subduction.     

The Mt. Vulture volcanic complex (Italy): evidence for distinct parental magmas and for residual melts with melilite

Summary New data of mineral compositions, whole-rock major and trace element contents are presented for lava flows and dykes of Mt. Vulture volcano (southeastern Roman Magmatic Province). The dominant rock series ranges from basanite, through tephrite and foidite, to phonolite. Diopsidic to Fe-salitic (hedenbergitic) clinopyroxene is the major phenocryst phase, and shows a very strong Ti- and Al-enrichment trend (up to 5 wt% TiO₂ and 12 wt% Al₂O₃). Phonolites have Fe-rich pyroxenes low in Ti and Al, as a consequence of fractionation of Ti-magnetite and/or melanite garnet.Feldspar ranges in composition from bytownite to Ba- and Sr-rich anorthoclase (up to 7 wt % BaO and 4 wt % SrO); the latter is present in the groundmass of mafic and intermediate rocks. Phonolites are characterized by anorthoclase and sanidine with Ba-rich cores, and with Ba-depleted rims.Subordinate melilite-bearing rocks are also present, and are characterized by melilite with a very large compositional variation, Ca-rich nepheline (up to 8 wt% CaO) and lack of feldspar and amphibole. Some of them also show calcite-rich ocellar structures, possibly due to liquid immiscibility. They have also major and trace element contents different from those of the feldspar-bearing rocks. This all indicates distinct parental magmas for feldspar-bearing and melilite-bearing rocks. These latter were likely generated by differentiation processes starting from olivine- and melilite-bearing ultramafic parental magmas.Mineral compositions and suitable phase diagrams indicate that the Melfi haüynophyre, which is the most MgO-poor melilite-bearing rock of Mt. Vulture, is close to a residual melt analogous to phonolite, but in petrogenetic systems with melilite and without feldspar.The high- to very high-titanium content of most of the ferromagnesian phases, despite a relatively low TiO₂ of primitive Mt. Vulture rocks, is absent in other rocks of similar degree of evolution in the Roman Province. It resembles that found in anorogenic magmas and gives further indications for a within-plate signature in this particular volcanic complex.

Der Mt. Vulture Vulkankomplex (Italien): hinweise für unterschiedliche Ausgangsmagmen und Residualschmelzen mit Melilith

Zusammenfassung Es werden neue Daten über Mineralzusammensetzungen sowie Haupt- und Spurenelemente des Gesamtgesteins für Lavaflüsse und Gänge des Mt. Vulture Vulkans (südöstliche Römische Magmatische Provinz) vorgestellt. Die auftretenden Gesteinsabfolgen reichen von Basaniten über Tephrite und Foidite zu Phonolithen. Diopsidischer bis Fe-salitischer (hedenbergitischer) Klinopyroxen stellt die hauptsächlichen Einsprenglinge und zeigt starke Ti- und Al-Anreicherungen (bis zu 5 Gew% TiO₂ und 12 Gew% Al₂O₃). Phonolite weisen als Konsequenz der Fraktionierung von Ti-Magnetit und/oder Melanit-Granat Fe-reiche Pyroxene mit niedrigen Ti- und Al-Gehalten auf.Der Feldspat reicht in seiner Zusammensetzung von Bytownit zu Ba- und Si-reichem Anorthoklas (bis zu 7 Gew%/o BaO und 4 Gew% SrO), der letztgenannte findet sich in der Grundmasse mafischer und intermediärer Gesteine. Phonolithe werden durch das Auftreten von Anorthoklas und Sanidin mit Ba-angereicherten Kernen und Ba-abgereicherten Rändern charakterisiert.Untergeordnet treten auch Melilith-führende Gesteine auf. Sie sind durch Melilithe mit einer großen kompositionellen Variation, durch Ca-reichen Nephelin (bis 8Gew% CaO) und durch das Fehlen von Feldspat und Amphibol gekennzeichnet. Einige dieser Melilithe zeigen auch Calcitreiche ocellare Strukturen, die möglicherweise aufgrund der Nicht-Mischbarkeit der Schmelzen entstanden sind. Sie weisen auch Gehalte an Haupt- und Spurenelementen auf, die von jenen Feldspat-führender Gesteine abweichen. All dies zeigt verschiedene Ausgangs-Magmen für Feldspat-führende und Melilith-führende vulkanische Gesteinean. Die Melilithgesteine entstanden wahrscheinlich durch Differentiationsprozesse aus Olvin- und Melilith-führenden ultramafischen Magmen.Mineralzusammensetzung und die entsprechenden Phasendiagramme zeigen, daß der Melfi Haüynophyr, welcher das MgOärmste Melilith-führende Gestein des Mt. Vulture ist, nahe an einer Ausgangschmelze analog zu einem Phonolith liegt, allerdings in einem petrogenetischen System mit Melilith und ohne Feldspat.Der hohe bis sehr hohe Titan-Gehalt der meisten ferromagnesischen Phasen fehlt, trotz des niedrigen TiO₂-Gehaltes primitiver Mte. Vulture Gesteine, in anderen Gesteinen ähnlicher Entwicklung in der Römischer Magmatischen Provinz. Dies ähnelt anorogenen alkalischen Magmen und ist ein weiterer Hinweis auf eine Intra-Platten Signatur für diesen besonderen vulkanischen Komplex.

阿尔泰诺尔特地区泥盆纪正格河火山岩的厘定及其地质意义

阿勒泰南缘诺尔特地区晚古生代火山岩十分发育,其中正格河一带出露一套片理化蚀变流纹岩与含凝灰质英安流纹岩的岩石组合,呈北西-南东向带状展布,前人将其划为石炭纪红山嘴组a段。本次工作对其进行的LAICPMS锆石U-Pb测年结果显示为早泥盆世(206Pb/238U加权平均年龄值为(400.4±3.6)Ma),时代不同于红山嘴组所属的石炭纪。其岩性明显区别于红山嘴组b、c段地层,且稳定成规模出露,故对此套流纹岩组合进行了重新厘定,暂命名为正格河火山岩。岩石Si O2含量在69.77%~75.16%,里特曼指数为1.26~1.70,(Na2O+K2O)介于5.90%~7.28%,A/CNK值介于0.88~1.16,显示钙碱性、偏铝质岩石特征。微量元素富集Rb、Th等大离子亲石元素,亏损Nb、Ta、Hf等高场强元素,稀土元素总量变化较大,∑REE介于189.20×10-6~308.47×10-6,轻、重稀土元素分馏较强((La/Yb)N=5.82~7.86),铕负异常(δEu=0.45~0.75),具有与俯冲作用有关的岩浆作用特征。结合区域地质资料,表明正格河火山岩形成于活动大陆边缘构造环境。     

Calcio-carbonatite melts and metasomatism in the mantle beneath Mt. Vulture (Southern Italy)

At Mt. Vulture volcano (Basilicata, Italy) calcite globules (5–150 μm) are hosted by silicate glass pools or veins cross-cutting amphibole-bearing, or more common spinel-bearing mantle xenoliths and xenocrysts. The carbonate globules are rounded or elongated and are composed of a mosaic of 2–20 μm crystals, with varying optical orientation. These features are consistent with formation from a quenched calciocarbonatite melt. Where in contact with carbonate amphibole has reacted to form fassaitic pyroxene. Some of these globules contain liquid/gaseous CO₂ bubbles and sulphide inclusions, and are pierced by quench microphenocrysts of silicate phases. The carbonate composition varies from calcite to Mg-calcite (3.8–5.0 wt.% MgO) both within the carbonate globules and from globule to globule. Trace element contents of the carbonate, determined by LAICPMS, are similar to those of carbonatites worldwide including ΣREE up to 123 ppm. The Sr–Nd isotope ratios of the xenolith carbonate are similar to the extrusive carbonatite and silicate rocks of Mt. Vulture testifying to derivation from the same mantle source. Formation of immiscibile silicate–carbonatite liquids within mantle xenoliths occurred via disequilibrium immiscibility during their exhumation.     

Exploratory seismic site response surveys in a complex geologic area: a case study from Mt. Etna volcano (southern Italy)

A preliminary study targeting to evaluate the local seismic response was performed in the eastern flank of Mt. Etna (southern Italy) using ambient noise measurements. The obtained spectral ratios were subdivided through cluster analysis into different classes of fundamental frequency permitting to draw an iso-frequency contour map. The analysis set into evidence the extreme heterogeneity of lava sequences, which makes difficult to identify a single seismic bedrock formation. Another important outcome, concerning the local seismic effects in terms of frequency and azimuth, is the important role played by the fracture fields associated with the main structural systems of the area. The existence of two zones with strong directional effects striking WNW–ESE and NW–SE, nearly orthogonal to the orientation of the main fracture fields, corroborate such hypothesis.

大陆碰撞过程的火山岩响应：以西藏林周林子宗火山岩为例

印度-亚洲大陆碰撞伴生有大量火山活动,其中,林子宗火山岩发育最广,遍布碰撞带北侧的冈底斯带,形成长逾1200 km的火山岩带。林周地区作为林子宗火山岩的命名地,该套火山岩发育相对齐全,为安山岩、流纹岩及相应的火山碎屑岩夹沉积碎屑岩组合,顶部发育巨厚流纹质凝灰岩,可以划分出三个火山旋回,其生成时代介于63.89~48.73 Ma。岩石学和地球化学资料显示,林子宗火山岩自下而上SiO₂和K₂O含量以及Al₂O₃饱和度增加,其岩浆从早到晚由中性、中钾和准铝质变化到酸性、高钾和过铝质,晚期喷发巨厚的火山灰流,反映区域地壳明显的加厚,由早期的30~40 km变化到晚期的50~60 km。火山岩相对富集Cs、Rb、K、U,亏损Ta、Nb、Ti、Sr、Ba、P,早期与桑日组安山岩地球化学特征相近,而中—晚期与乌郁、扎嘎等地渐新世高钾火山岩相似,表明早期岩浆具有新特提斯洋俯冲板片印迹,而中—晚期具有后碰撞作用特点。林子宗火山岩作为印度-亚洲大陆碰撞过程的响应,记录着古新世至始新世（64~48 Ma）印度-亚洲大陆之间的碰撞向碰撞后演化过程。     

浙南龙泉地区晚侏罗世火山岩的厘定及成因探讨

浙江晚中生代大规模火山活动始于晚侏罗世还是早白垩世,长期以来存在争议。本文对浙南龙泉地区火山岩进行了锆石U-Pb定年,获得一批高精度的年代学数据,其SHRIMP锆石U-Pb和LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb年龄集中于163～145 Ma,确认浙江晚中生代火山活动始于晚侏罗世。地球化学特征和Sr-Nd同位素特征表明这套晚侏罗世火山岩具有高硅、高钾、低磷、贫铁镁的特征,属于过铝质高钾钙碱性岩石系列。由于晚中生代太平洋板块的俯冲作用,导致了下部地壳物质(基底变质岩)广泛熔融,形成了本区晚侏罗世火山岩浆活动。为了便于表达、对比,笔者建议新建"晚侏罗世黄茅尖群"地层单位。     

Fractures and faults in volcanic rocks (Campi Flegrei,southern Italy): insight into volcano-tectonic processes

The present study was focused to analyze fractures and faults in the Campi Flegrei calderas presently hosting several volcanic edifices, such as lava domes, scoria, and tuff cones. A complex network of fractures and faults affects the volcanic rocks, mostly as planar with highly variable density. Frequently faults appearing as conjugate structures showing normal kinematics often associated with ductile deformation such as drag folds and deflexed layers, suggesting a syn-eruption deformation. However, the most of faults, mainly hosted along the caldera/crater rims, are very steep with dominant normal and secondary reverse movements. The fracture pattern indicates a slight prevalence of NE–SW and NW–SE directions, but N–S and E–W trends also occur. Fractures and faults found in rocks older than 15 ka (Neapolitan Yellow Tuff included), measured in western and eastern sectors of the study area, indicate a rotation of ca. 30° of the main directions among these two sectors. For the faults occurring along the caldera/crater rims, we suggest a kinematic evolution characterized by the reactivation of tensile fractures previously formed in response to both regional extension and locale resurgent dome. Finally, normal faults located in the central sector of caldera, between La Starza and Accademia localities, cutting the youngest volcanic deposits, indicate a constant NNE–SSW extension probably related to the caldera resurgence.     

Gas hazard assessment at the Monticchio crater lakes of Mt. Vulture, a volcano in Southern Italy

Geochemical investigations have shown that there is a considerable inflow of gas into both crater lakes of Monticchio, Southern Italy. These lakes are located in two maars that formed 140 000 years ago during Mt. Vulture volcano's last eruptive activity. Isotopic analyses suggest that CO₂ and helium are of magmatic origin; the latter displays ³He/⁴He isotope ratios similar to those measured in olivines of the maar ejecta. In spite of the fact that the amount of dissolved gases in the water is less than that found in Lake Nyos (Cameroon), both the results obtained and the historical reports studied indicate that these crater lakes could be highly hazardous sites, even though they are located in a region currently considered inactive. This could be of special significance in very popular tourist areas such as the Monticchio lakes, which are visited by about 30 000 people throughout the summer, for the most part on Sundays.

Magma-derived gas influx and water-rock interactions in the volcanic aquifer of Mt. Vesuvius, Italy

We report in this paper a systematic investigation of the chemical and isotopic composition of groundwaters flowing in the volcanic aquifer of Mt. Vesuvius during its current phase of dormancy, including the first data on dissolved helium isotope composition and tritium content. The relevant results on dissolved He and C presented in this paper reveal that an extensive interaction between rising magmatic volatiles and groundwaters currently takes place at Vesuvius.Vesuvius groundwaters are dilute (mean TDS ∼ 2800 mg/L) hypothermal fluids ( mean T = 17.7°C) with a prevalent alkaline-bicarbonate composition. Calcium-bicarbonate groundwaters normally occur on the surrounding Campanian Plain, likely recharged from the Apennines. δD and δ¹⁸O data evidence an essentially meteoric origin of Vesuvius groundwaters, the contribution from either Tyrrhenian seawater or ¹⁸O-enriched thermal water appearing to be small or negligible. However, the dissolution of CO₂-rich gases at depth promotes acid alteration and isochemical leaching of the permeable volcanic rocks, which explains the generally low pH and high total carbon content of waters. Attainment of chemical equilibrium between the rock and the weathering solutions is prevented by commonly low temperature (10 to 28°C) and acid-reducing conditions.The chemical and isotope (C and He) composition of dissolved gases highlights the magmatic origin of the gas phase feeding the aquifer. We show that although the pristine magmatic composition may vary upon gas ascent because of either dilution by a soil-atmospheric component or fractionation processes during interaction with the aquifer, both ¹³C/¹²C and ³He/⁴He measurements indicate the contribution of a magmatic component with a δ¹³C ∼ 0‰ and R/R_a of ∼2.7, which is consistent with data from Vesuvius fumaroles and phenocryst melt inclusions in olivine phenocrysts.A main control of tectonics on gas ascent is revealed by data presented in this paper. For example, two areas of high CO₂ release and enhanced rock leaching are recognized on the western (Torre del Greco) and southwestern (Torre Annunziata-Pompeii) flanks of Vesuvius, where important NE-SW and NW-SE tectonic structures are recognized. In contrast, waters flowing through the northern sector of the volcano are generally colder, less saline, and CO₂ depleted, despite in some cases containing significant concentrations of magma-derived helium. The remarkable differences among the various sectors of the volcano are reconciled in a geochemical interpretative model, which is consistent with recent structural and geophysical evidences on the structure of Somma-Vesuvius volcanic complex.     

火山岩原生储集空间成因及其四阶段演化——以准噶尔盆地滴西地区石炭系为例

火山岩油气藏通常具有双重孔隙介质特征,储集空间按成因可划分为原生和次生两大类,绝大多数次生储集空间是原生储集空间经后期成岩作用改造而成。本文通过大量铸体薄片的鉴定和描述,将准噶尔盆地滴西地区石炭系火山岩原生储集空间类型分为气孔、杏仁体内残留孔、粒间孔、粒内孔、晶间孔等5类原生孔隙,以及收缩缝、炸裂缝、砾间缝、晶间缝等4类原生裂缝。综合火山喷发环境、强度及岩石结构构造等影响因素,按照岩浆不同阶段的演化特征,将原生储集空间的形成划分为4个阶段:"岩浆房"阶段、喷溢地表阶段、冷凝成岩阶段及岩浆期后热液阶段。认为岩浆喷溢地表与冷凝成岩阶段是形成原生孔缝的主要时期;岩浆期后热液阶段是减少原生孔缝时期;结晶速度快慢是形成不同类型孔缝的关键。火山岩原生储集空间类型形成机理研究能揭示次生储集空间展布规律,对预测有利储集带意义重大。
