Redistribution of Trace Elements During Shock-inducd Melting and Phase Tranzition of Minerals in the Suizhou l6 Chondrite

The Suizhou meteorite is an L6 chondrite. This meteorite is consisted of olivine, low-Ca pyroxene, plagioclase, FeNi metal, troilite, whitlockite, chlorapatite, chromite and ilmenite. Olivine and pyroxene grains display shock-induced mosaic texture, and most plagioclase grains were melted and transformed to maskelynite. This meteorite contains a few very thin shock-produced melt veins ranging from 20 to 100 μm in width. They are chondritic in composition and contain abundant high-pressure minerals in two assemblages. One is the coarse-grained assemblage of ringwoodite, majorite, lingunite with minor amount of tuite, xieite, the CF-phase, akimotoite and amorphized perovskite, and the fine-grained assemblage (the melt vein matrix) composed of majorite-pyrope garnet, magnesiowüstite. FeNi metal and troilite in the Suizhou shock veins were molten and occur as small intergrowth grains or veinlets filling the interstices of garnet crystals or cracks in the vein matrix. It was revealed that olivine, pyroxene and plagioclase in the Suizhou shock veins have transformed in solid state to their high-pressure polymorphs ringwoodite, majorite, and lingunite, respectively, without change in their chemical compositions.     

南极陨石GRV 022115冲击熔融脉矿物学研究

文章主要通过电子探针、扫描电镜、激光拉曼光谱、透射电镜等微区微分析技术研究GRV 022115球粒陨石的基础矿物学特征和冲击变质矿物学特征，探讨陨石冲击熔融脉的形成机制和界定其母体的冲击条件。陨石主岩主要由橄榄石、辉石、熔长石、铁镍金属和硫化物等矿物组成。根据主岩的硅酸盐矿物学特征，确定GRV 022115是风化程度较低（W1） 的L6型普通球粒陨石，与前期分类结果一致。根据熔融脉内含有大量林伍德石的现象，修正GRV 022115陨石的冲击级别为S6，比原定的S5高一个级别。GRV 022115球粒陨石中有多条冲击熔融脉，熔融脉由基质和主岩碎块包裹体两类岩相组组成。熔融脉基质的主要组成是微米级粒状镁铁榴石与纳米级的含铁方镁石，是在平衡冲击压力下结晶的产物。冲击熔融脉主岩碎块包裹体中的橄榄石、低钙辉石、长石碎块已部分或全部转为相对应的高压相。橄榄石相变为林伍德石；个别低钙辉石相变为钙钛矿结构布里奇曼石微晶的集合体；长石主要相变为熔长石与玲根石。几乎所有的主岩碎块都有高温熔融的圆滑边界。熔融脉内外同类矿物的主量和微量元素具有一定的差异性，该差异性可以反映高温高压下混溶作用和扩散作用的影响。结合陨石冲击熔融脉形成机制和结晶模型，根据熔脉基质中镁铁榴石+方镁石矿物组合及静态高温高压实验相图，界定该陨石经受的冲击压力为23~27 GPa。     

Natural high-pressure polymorph of merrillite in the shock veins of the Suizhou meteorite

A new high-pressure polymorph of merrillite with the structure of trigonal γ-Ca₃(PO₄)₂ was found in the shock-produced veins of the Suizhou meteorite, where it coexists with ringwoodite, majorite, NaAlSi₃O₈-hollandite, and majorite-pyrope garnet. The crystallographic nature of this natural γ-Ca₃(PO₄)₂ phase was characterized by Raman spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction, and all data compare favorably to the same data obtained from γ-Ca₃(PO₄)₂ synthesized at 14 GPa and 1400°C. The cell parameters of this new high-pressure mineral are a = 5.258(1) angstroms and c = 18.727(3) angstroms, space group R-3m, and density = 3.447 (g/cm³), where the number in parentheses are standard deviations in the last significant digits. The natural occurrence of the γ-Ca₃(PO₄)₂ phase together with other high-pressure minerals constrains the pressure of the shock veins at about 23 GPa. The Suizhou meteorite provides the first naturally occurring example of γ-Ca₃(PO₄)₂ polymorph.     

Composition and pressure dependence of lattice thermal conductivity of (Mg,Fe)O solid solutions

We measured the lattice thermal conductivities of Fe_0.98O wüstite and iron-rich (Mg,Fe)O magnesiowüstite using the pulsed light heating thermoreflectance technique with a diamond anvil cell up to 61 GPa at 300 K. We found that the thermal conductivity of wüstite does not show a monotonic increase as a function of pressure, contrary to that of MgO periclase. Rocksalt (B1) to rhombohedral B1 transition is likely to induce an abnormal pressure response in the conductivity of wüstite. Our results also show that magnesiowüstite has a lower conductivity than that of MgO and FeO endmembers due to a strong iron impurity effect, which is well reproduced by a model considering phonon-impurity scattering in a binary solid solution.     

Fe–Mg partitioning between ringwoodite and magnesiowüstite and the effect of pressure, temperature and oxygen fugacity

 The partitioning of Mg and Fe between magnesiowüstite and ringwoodite solid solutions has been measured between 15 and 23 GPa and 1200–1600 ^∘C using both Fe and Re capsule materials to vary the oxidation conditions. The partitioning results show a clear dependence on the capsule material used due to the variation in Fe³⁺ concentrations as a consequence of the different oxidation environments. Using results from experiments performed in Fe capsules, where metallic Fe was also added to the starting materials, the difference in the interaction parameters for the two solid solutions (W _FeMg ^mw−W _FeMg ^ring) is calculated to be 8.5±1 kJ mol⁻¹. Similar experiments performed in Re metal capsules result in a value for W _FeMg ^mw−W _FeMg ^ring that is apparently 4 kJ higher, if all Fe is assumed to be FeO. Electron energy-loss near-edge structure (ELNES) spectroscopic analyses, however, show Fe³⁺ concentrations to be approximately three times higher in magnesiowüstite produced in Re capsules than in Fe capsules and that Fe³⁺ partitions preferentially into magnesiowüstite, with K _{D Fe3+} ^ring/mw estimated between 0.1 and 0.6. Using an existing activity composition model for magnesiowüstite, a least–squares fit to the partitioning data collected in Fe capsules results in a value for the ringwoodite interaction parameter (W _FeMg ^ring) of 3.5±1 kJ mol⁻¹. The equivalent regular interaction parameter for magnesiowüstite (W _FeMg ^mw) is 12.1±1.8 kJ mol. These determinations take into account the Fe³⁺ concentrations that occur in both phases in the presence of metallic Fe. The free energy change in J mol⁻¹ for the Fe exchange reaction can be described, over the range of experimental conditions, by 912 + 4.15 (T−298)+18.9P with T in K, P in kbar. The estimated volume change for this reaction is smaller than that predicted using current compilations of equation of state data and is much closer to the volume change at ambient conditions. These results are therefore a useful test of high pressure and temperature equation of state data. Using thermodynamic data consistent with this study the reaction of ringwoodite to form magnesiowüstite and stishovite is calculated from the data collected using Fe capsules. Comparison of these results with previous studies shows that the presence of Fe³⁺ in phases produced in multianvil experiments using Re capsules can have a marked effect on apparent phase relations and determined thermodynamic properties.

Mg-Fe partitioning between silicate spinel and magnesiowüstite at high pressure: experimental determination and calculation of phase relations in the system Mg2SiO4-Fe2SiO4

 Mg-Fe partitioning experiments between (Mg,Fe)₂SiO₄ spinel and (Mg,Fe)O magnesiowüstite were carried out at pressures of 17–21.3 GPa at temperatures of 1400 and 1600 °C, using a multi-anvil apparatus, in order to determine interaction parameters of spinel and magnesiowüstite solid solutions and also to constrain the equilibrium boundaries of the postspinel transition in the Fe-rich side in the system Mg₂SiO₄-Fe₂SiO₄. The obtained values of the interaction parameters were 3.4 ± 1.5 and 13.9 ± 1.4 kJ mol⁻¹, respectively, for spinel and magnesiowüstite solid solutions at 19 GPa and 1600 °C. The partitioning data in the system Mg₂SiO₄-Fe₂SiO₄ at 1400 and 1600 °C showed that the transition boundary between spinel and the mixture of magnesiowüstite and stishovite has a negative dP/dT slope. Using the above interaction parameters and available thermodynamic data of the Mg₂SiO₄ and Fe₂SiO₄ end members, the transition boundaries of spinel to the mixture of magnesiowüstite and stishovite were calculated. Within the uncertainties of the data used, the calculated boundaries are in good agreement with the boundaries at 1400 and 1600 °C experimentally determined in this study. The dissociation boundary of Fe₂SiO₄ spinel to wüstite and stishovite, calculated from the thermodynamic data, has a negative slope of −1.5 ± 0.6 MPa K⁻¹.

P-V-T equation of state of magnesiowüstite (Mg0.6Fe0.4)O

The lattice parameter of magnesiowüstite (Mg_0.6Fe_0.4)O has been measured up to a pressure of 30 GPa and a temperature of 800 K, using an external heated diamond anvil cell and diffraction using X-rays from a synchrotron source. The experiments were conducted under quasi-hydrostatic condition, using neon as a pressure transmitting medium. The experimental P-V-T data were fitted to a thermal-pressure model with the isothermal bulk modulus at room temperature K _T0 = 157 GPa, (?K _TO /?P) _T =4, (?K _T /?T) _P =-2.7(3) × 10^-2 GPa/K, (?K _T /?T) _v =-0.2(2) × 10^-2 GPa/K and the Anderson-Grüneisen parameter δ _T =4.3(5) above the Debye temperature. The data were also fitted to the Mie-Grüneisen thermal equation of state. The least-squares fit yields the Debye temperature θ _DO = 500(20) K, the Grüneisen parameter γ ₀=1.50(5), and the volume dependence q=1.1(5). Both thermal-pressure models give consistent P-V-T relations for magnesiowüstite to 140 GPa and 4000 K. The P-V-T relations for magnesiowüstite were also calculate by using a modified high-temperature Birch-Murnaghan equation of state with a δ _t of 4.3. The results are consistent with those calculated by using the thermal-pressure model and the Mie-Grüneisen relation to 140 GPa and 3000 K.     

Transmission electron microscopy on iron monosulfide varieties from the Suizhou meteorite

Transmission electron microscopy on the iron monosulfide (FeS) varieties from the Suizhou meteorite (Hubei, China) reveals the intergrowth of primary hexagonal 2C troilite and minor monoclinic 4C pyrrhotite (SG: F2/d) phases as nanometer-scale domain microstructure. In addition, anti-phase domain boundaries are found to present in the 2C troilite superstructure with the displacement vector 1/4[001]_2C, which is expected to form during the translational symmetry breaking during cooling from higher symmetry, high-temperature modification of the NiAs-type (SG: P6₃/mmc) structure. Furthermore, 60° rotation twinning about the pseudo-hexagonal c-axis is observed in the 4C pyrrhotite superstructure, which may result from rotation symmetry reduction induced by the ordered arrangements of metal vacancies through solid-state transformation during further cooling. All the above microstructural characteristics are discussed with consideration to the thermal metamorphism history experienced by the Suizhou meteorite.     

Partial melting due to breakdown of an epidote‐group mineral during exhumation of ultrahigh‐pressure eclogite: An example from the North‐East Greenland Caledonides

In the North‐East Greenland Caledonides, P–T conditions and textures are consistent with partial melting of ultrahigh‐pressure (UHP) eclogite during exhumation. The eclogite contains a peak assemblage of garnet, omphacite, kyanite, coesite, rutile, and clinozoisite; in addition, phengite is inferred to have been present at peak conditions. An isochemical phase equilibrium diagram, along with garnet isopleths, constrains peak P–T conditions to be subsolidus at 3.4 GPa and 940°C. Zr‐in‐rutile thermometry on inclusions in garnet yields values of ~820°C at 3.4 GPa. In the eclogite, plagioclase may exhibit cuspate textures against surrounding omphacite and has low dihedral angles in plagioclase–clinopyroxene–garnet aggregates, features that are consistent with former melt–solid–solid boundaries and crystallized melt pockets. Graphic intergrowths of plagioclase and amphibole are present in the matrix. Small euhedral neoblasts of garnet against plagioclase are interpreted as formed from a peritectic reaction during partial melting. Polymineralic inclusions of albite+K‐feldspar and clinopyroxene+quartz±kyanite±plagioclase in large anhedral garnet display plagioclase cusps pointing into the host, which are interpreted as crystallized melt pockets. These textures, along with the mineral composition, suggest partial melting of the eclogite by reactions involving phengite and, to a large extent, an epidote‐group mineral. Calculated and experimentally determined phase relations from the literature reveal that partial melting occurred on the exhumation path, at pressures below the coesite to quartz transition. A calculated P–T phase diagram for a former melt‐bearing domain shows that the formation of the peritectic garnet rim occurred at 1.4 GPa and 900°C, with an assemblage of clinopyroxene, amphibole, and plagioclase equilibrated at 1.3 GPa and 720°C. Isochemical phase equilibrium modelling of a symplectite of clinopyroxene, plagioclase, and amphibole after omphacite, combined with the mineral composition, yields a P–T range at 1.0–1. 6 GPa, 680–1,000°C. The assemblage of amphibole and plagioclase is estimated to reach equilibrium at 717–732°C, calculated by amphibole–plagioclase thermometry for the former melt‐bearing domain and symplectite respectively. The results of this study demonstrate that partial melt formed in the UHP eclogite through breakdown of an epidote‐group mineral with minor involvement of phengite during exhumation from peak pressure; melt was subsequently crystallized on the cooling path.     

Trace element partitioning in the Morasko meteorite from Poznan, Poland

The nickel–iron meteorite of Morasko shows isolated inclusions of troilite in the bulk mass of a Fe,Ni-alloy. During a segregation of the FeS phase chalcophile trace elements were collected from the melt. The solidification of the Fe,Ni-phase occurred probably later, incorporating thereby mainly siderophile trace elements. To prove this general assumption selected trace elements were determined and reveal in the two phases of the present meteorite a characteristic distribution pattern. The meteorite of Morasko is in close conformity to the iron meteorite group IAB with rounded dark FeS inclusions.     

High pressure equilibrium of nickel and cobalt between metal and mantle minerals

In order to test the effect of very high pressures on the siderophile behaviour of two elements, Ni and Co, we have carried out diamond anvil cell experiments on Ni- and Co-bearing systems, up to 70 GPa. Observation of recovered samples by analytical transmission electron microscopy shows that Ni and Co remain siderophile at least up to 70 GPa, but that their siderophile character decreases with pressure, as already observed in previous studies at lower pressures. Our results also suggest that the abundances of Ni and Co observed in the Earth’s upper mantle cannot be explained by very high pressure equilibrium between silicate perovskite, magnesiowüstite, and metal.     

Possible contribution of lower mantle magnesiowüstite metallization into geomagnetic data

Phase change of dielectric magnesiowüstite in the lower mantle may leave signatures in geomagnetic records of the globally distributed array of observatories. We investigate theoretically which may be the contribution of magnesiowüstite metallization to geomagnetic data and how the variations of magnetic susceptibility associated with this phase change may influence the Earth's field. The modeling is performed using spherical harmonic analysis (SHA) of mantle electromagnetic (EM) responses in observatory geomagnetic data at periods of decades, 11 years, 1 year, and 27 days. The existence of a lower mantle conductor is checked against monthly means of real observatory records from 1920 through 2009 obtained by preliminary processing.     

Experimental studies At 5–12 GPa of the Ondermatjie hypabyssal kimberlite

Liquidus and sub-liquidus phase relationships are reported for melts formed from an aphanitic kimberlite composition crystallized at 5–12 GPa and 900–1400 °C. The liquidus phase over the pressure range investigated is forsteritic olivine. This is followed with decreasing temperature by olivine plus garnet as the initial sub-liquidus solid phase assemblage. Supra-solidus assemblages consist of olivine+garnet+clinopyroxene+Mg-ilmenite+liquid at 5–7 GPa or olivine+garnet+clinopyroxene+hematite–ilmenite solid solutions (+/−perovskite)+liquid at 8–12 GPa. Phlogopite forms as a near-solidus phase only at 900 °C and 6 GPa. Orthopyroxene does not form at any temperature and pressure. All garnets formed at 6–7 GPa are Ti-rich almandine–grossular–pyrope solid solutions and not Cr-pyrope, whereas garnets formed above 8 GPa are Ti- and Fe³⁺-rich and have no natural counterparts. Quenched liquids are represented by magnesite at 10–12 GPa and Mg–Ca-carbonates at lower pressures. In addition to forming discrete crystals, Mg-ilmenite and hematite–ilmenite solid solutions occur as lamellar intergrowths that are identical in texture to naturally occurring intergrowths. Mg-ilmenite compositions at 6–7 GPa are similar to those of the natural occurrences, whereas clinopyroxenes are richer in Ca. The effects of graphite versus platinum capsules on the oxygen fugacity of the experimental charges and the composition of the olivine, clinopyroxene, Fe–Ti-oxides and garnets formed are described. These experimental data are interpreted to indicate that kimberlite magmas are unlikely to be formed by very small degrees of partial melting of a simple homogeneous carbonated garnet lherzolite mantle. It is proposed that kimberlite magmas form by extensive partial melting of metasomatized mantle, i.e. mineralogically complex carbonate-bearing veins in a lherzolitic/harzburgitic substrate, and that lamellar ilmenite–clinopyroxene intergrowths represent the products of non-equilibrium growth in kimberlite magma.     

Oxygen fugacity dependence of Ni,Co, Mn,Cr, V,and Si partitioning between liquid metal and magnesiowüstite at 9–18 GPa and 2200°C

The oxidation states of Ni, Co, Mn, Cr, V and Si in magnesiowüstite have been determined in metal-oxide distribution experiments using a multi anvil apparatus at 9 and 18 GPa and 2200°C as a function of oxygen fugacity. Despite limitations to control oxygen fugacity by applying conventional buffering methods in high pressure experiments, a wide range of redox-conditions (3 log bar units) has been imposed to the metal-oxide partitioning experiments by varying the Si/O ratio of the starting material. The oxygen fugacity was calculated according to the Fe-FeO equilibrium between the run products. The ability to impose different oxygen fugacities by varying the starting material is confirmed by the large variation of element partitioning coefficients obtained at constant pressure and temperature. The calculated valences at both pressures investigated are divalent for Co, Mn, V and 4+ for Si. The results for Cr (∼2.5+) and Ni (∼1.5+) indicate non-ideal mixing of Ni and Cr in at least one of the product phases. Because the application of 1 bar activity coefficients for Ni and Cr in metal alloys does not change these valences, non-ideal mixing in magnesiowüstite or significantly larger non-ideal mixing properties of Ni and Cr in metal alloys at high pressure are likely to be responsible for the apparent valences. Omitting such non-ideal mixing properties when extrapolating high-pressure element partitioning data may be significant. The elements Cr, V and Mn become siderophile (D_M^met/ox > 1) at 9–18 GPa and 2200°C at oxygen fugacities below IW-2.7 to IW-3.7. Considering, in addition, the influence of temperature, the depletion of Cr, Mn and V in the Earth’s mantle may be due, at least partly, to siderophile behavior at high pressure and temperature.     

Activity-composition relations of the magnesiowüstite solid solution series in equilibrium with metallic iron in the temperature range 1050–1400 K

The equilibrium $${\text{(1}} - y{\text{)Fe}}_{(s)} + \tfrac{{\text{1}}}{{\text{2}}}{\text{O}}_{{\text{2(g)}}} \rightleftarrows {\text{Fe}}_{{\text{1}} - y} {\text{O}}_{{\text{(}}s,{\text{ in MW)}}} $$ was studied by measuring oxygen potentials for a range of different magnesiowüstite compositions relative to those of the iron-wüstite system in an oxygen concentration cell involving yttria stabilized zirconia as the solid electrolyte. The temperature range covered was 1050 to 1400 K. Separate measurements of the mole fraction of trivalent iron in magnesiowüstite (x(Fe³⁺)) were made and the composition dependence ofx(Fe³⁺) was taken into account in calculations of the activity-composition relations of FeO, Fe_2/3O and MgO.     

Metal-troilite-magnetite assemblage in shock veins of Sixiangkou meteorite

The first natural occurrence of metal-troilite-magnetite assemblage composed of Fe-Ni metal and magnetite dendrites and a groundmass of troilite was identified in the shock veins of the Sixiangkou L6 chondrite, which contain abundant high-pressure minerals. This assemblage suggests a liquid miscibility among metal, FeS, and iron oxide, and subsequently quenching under pressure. Components of magnetite could be, in origin, related to chromite that was embedded and dissolved in an Fe-Ni-S liquid. Cr₂O₃ dissociated from chromite was mainly incorporated into garnet and magnesiowüstite in the fine-grained matrix of shock veins, in which chromium behaves as a lithophile element at the P-T conditions experienced by the shock veins. The occurrence of metal-troilite-magnetite assemblage suggests that the shock veins were still under pressure at temperatures from 900 to 950°C during solidification of Fe-Ni-S or Fe-Ni-S-O liquid, hence indicating a long duration of high pressure in the shock veins.     

A study of phase transformation in hedenbergite to 40 GPa at ∼1200° C

Phase transformations in a natural sample of hedenbergite ((Ca_0.93Fe_0.61Mn_0.34Mg_0.08Na_0.01Zn_0.02Al_0.003)Si₂O₆) have been studied by X-ray diffraction up to 40 GPa at ∼ 1200°C in a diamond anvil cell interfaced with a laser heating system. The starting hedenbergite phase decomposed into a garnet plus γ-spinel and stishovite at ∼ 14 GPa; then into garnet plus stishovite and wüstite at ∼ 18 GPa; and finally into perovskite plus stishovite and wüstite at pressures higher than ∼ 24 GPa. On decompression to 0.1 MPa, all the high pressure phases are retained except for the cubic perovskite, which reverts back into the ɛ-CaSiO₃ phase, in accordance with previous reports. Energy-dispersive SEM analyses show that the garnet is present as a calcium-rich ABO ₃-type phase. As no garnet phase has been previously observed either in pure CaSiO₃ or in pure CaMgSi₂O₆, it appears that the observed calcium-rich garnet phase has been stabilized by the presence of other cations such as the Na⁺, Zn²⁺, Mn²⁺, Fe²⁺, Mn³⁺, Fe³⁺ and Al³⁺.     

Detecting a magnesiowüstite phase transition in the lower mantle by inversion of geomagnetic data

Global geomagnetic data are inverted for detecting a high-conductivity layer at depths of 1500–2000 km to test the hypothesis of a magnesiowüstite phase transition in the lower mantle. We present the results of processing of both synthetic and global data—average monthly values of the geomagnetic field from 1920 to 2009. The inverted global data are consistent with the possible existence of a high-conductivity layer at great depths in the lower mantle.     

High-pressure phases in a shock-induced melt vein of the Tenham L6 chondrite: Constraints on shock pressure and duration

The microtexture and mineralogy of a 580-μm-wide melt vein in the Tenham L6 chondrite were investigated using field-emission scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy to better understand the shock conditions. The melt vein consists of a matrix of silicate plus metal-sulfide grains that crystallized from immiscible melts, and sub-rounded fragments of the host chondrite that have been entrained in the melt and transformed to polycrystalline high-pressure silicates. The melt-vein matrix contains two distinct textures and mineral assemblages corresponding to the vein edge and interior. The 30-μm-wide vein edge consists of vitrified silicate perovskite + ringwoodite + akimotoite + majorite with minor metal-sulfide. The 520-μm-wide vein interior consists of majorite + magnesiowüstite with irregular metal-sulfide blebs. Although these mineral assemblages are distinctly different, the pressure stabilities of both assemblages are consistent with crystallization from similar pressure conditions: the melt-vein edge crystallized at about 23-25 GPa and the vein interior crystallized at about 21-25 GPa. This relatively narrow pressure range suggests that the melt vein either crystallized at a constant equilibrium shock pressure of ∼25 GPa or during a relatively slow pressure release. Using a finite element heat transfer program to model the thermal history of this melt vein during shock, we estimate that the time required to quench this 580-μm-wide vein was ∼40 ms. Because the entire vein contains high-pressure minerals that crystallized from the melt, the shock-pressure duration was at least 40 ms. Using a synthetic Hugoniot for Tenham and assuming that the sample experienced a peak-shock pressure of 25 GPa near the impact site, we estimate that the Tenham parent body experienced an impact with collision velocity ∼2 km/s. Based on a one-dimensional planar impact model, we estimate that the projectile size was >150 m in thickness.
