Origin of Sr,Nd and Pb isotopic systematics in high-Sr basalts from central Arizona

Alkalic and tholeiitic basalts were erupted in the central Arizona Transition Zone during Miocene-Pliocene time before and after regional faulting. The alkalic lava types differ from the subalkaline lavas in Sr, Nd and Pb isotopic ratios and trace element ratios and, despite close temporal and spatial relationships, the two types appear to be from discrete mantle sources. Pre-faulting lava types include: potassic trachybasalts (⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr = 0.7052 to 0.7055, _Nd= –9.2 to –10.7); alkali olivine basalts (⁸⁷Sr/ ⁸⁶Sr = 0.7049 to 0.7054, _Nd= –2 to 0.2); basanite and hawaiites (⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr = 0.7049 to 0.7053, _Nd= –3.5 to –7.8); and quartz tholeiites (⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr = 0.7047, _Nd= –1.4 to –2.6). Post-faulting lavas have lower ⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr (<0.7045) and _Nd from –3.2 to 2.3. Pb isotopic data for both preand post-faulting lavas form coherent clusters by magma type with values higher than those associated with MORB but within the range of values found for crustal rocks and sulfide ores in Arizona and New Mexico. Pb isotopic systematics appear to be dominated by crustal contamination. Effects of assimilation and fractional crystallization are inadequate to produce the Sr isotopic variations unless very large amounts of assimilation occurred relative to fractionation. It is impossible to produce the Nd isotopic variations unless ancient very unradiogenic material exists beneath the region. Moreover the assumption that the alkalic lavas are cogenetic requires high degrees of fractionation inconsistent with major- and trace-element data. Metasomatism of the subcontinental lithosphere above a subduction zone by a slab-derived fluid enriched in Sr, Ba, P and K could have produced the isotopic and elemental patterns. The degree of metasomatism apparently decreased upward, with the alkalic lavas sampling more modified regions of the mantle than the tholeiitic lavas. Such metasomatism may have been a regional event associated with crustal formation at about 1.6 Ga. Disruption and weakening of the subcontinental lithosphere in the Transition Zone of the Colorado Plateau by volcanism probably made deformation possible.     

内蒙古敖包吐萤石矿床的Sr、Nd、Pb同位素地球化学特征

敖包吐萤石矿床是内蒙古北部苏莫查干地区单一萤石矿集区中的一个代表性矿床,产于早二叠世大石寨组火山-沉积岩与早白垩世敖包吐花岗岩的接触带上。文章通过分析该矿床岩、矿石的微量元素和稀土元素,揭示出萤石的成矿作用可分为2个阶段,即交代作用和充填作用。交代作用过程中大石寨组的结晶灰岩可能为萤石的形成提供了部分Ca来源,萤石矿石的稀土元素配分模式与海水基本类似,具有Ce负异常;成矿作用后期主要表现为充填作用,形成颗粒粗大的萤石,表现为重稀土元素富集的特征,并随着萤石的沉淀析出,稀土元素总量逐渐下降,反映出成矿流体经历了较长期的演化过程。各地层单元、花岗岩体和萤石矿石的Sr、Nd、Pb同位素研究表明,萤石的放射性同位素组成具有壳、幔源混合的特点,成矿物质来源具有多源性。早白垩世敖包吐花岗岩可能是萤石中F的主要来源,而大石寨组的结晶灰岩则可能提供了Ca。另外,Pb、Nd同位素的极大不均一性,有可能是成矿流体在运移过程中对艾力格庙群放射性组分的选择性吸收的结果。萤石成矿作用与钾玄岩的时空关系暗示了萤石的成矿过程可能是中国东部岩石圈减薄和下地壳的置换地质事件的结果。在构造转型的过程中,燕山中期富碱的酸性花岗岩浆的活动分异出富含F的成矿流体,与幔源流体混合,沿区域重新活化的深大断裂和大石寨组的层间破碎带上升,交代其间的灰岩透镜体,从而形成敖包吐中型萤石矿床。     

陕西金堆城钼矿区花岗岩Sr、Nd、Pb同位素特征及其地质意义

通过对陕西金堆城钼矿区花岗斑岩体和八里坡斑岩体进行地球化学测试,测得金堆城斑岩体的SiO2含量为72.89%～74.06%,MgO为0.07%～0.3%,稀土总量为43.29×10-6～93.94×10-6,稀土元素配分曲线呈右倾型,具有明显的铕负异常和弱的负铈异常(δEu为0.43～0.78,δCe为0.74～0.86),富集大离子亲石元素K、Rb、U、Th和Sr等元素,亏损Ba、P和Ti等元素。八里坡斑岩体的SiO2含量为69.87%～70.80%,Al2O3 14.93%～15.46%,MgO 0.28%～0.48%,Sr/Y比值大于60,稀土总量为125.23×10-6～139.63×10-6,铕为无异常或微弱的正异常(δEu为0.98～1.04),铈为微弱的负异常(δCe为0.92～0.96),富集Ba、U、K等大离子亲石元素,而亏损P、Ta和Ti等元素。金堆城斑岩体和八里坡斑岩体的岩石类型为I型花岗岩,Pb同位素显示金堆城斑岩体的Pb主要来自下地壳,但有地幔物质的加入,八里坡斑岩体的Pb主要来自下地壳。金堆城斑岩体的ε(Nd,t)值为较低负值(-13.8～-15.2),但ε(Sr,t)变化较大,为-46.4～13.6,八里坡斑岩体具有负低ε(Nd,t)值(-20.4)和正高ε(Sr,t)值(64.5～65.2)。金堆城花岗斑岩和八里坡花岗斑岩的Sr、Nd、Pb同位素与华北地块相似,这两个岩体的源区为华北地块组成部分。     

郯庐断裂带晚中生代富碱侵入岩Nd、Sr、Pb同位素特征及源区性质探讨

郯庐断裂带是中国东部一条巨大的深大断裂带,它纵切华北克拉通、扬子克拉通、兴蒙-吉黑造山带和大别-苏鲁造山带四个大地构造单元,特别是在该断裂带出露许多晚中生代富碱侵入岩体,构成一条长达近2000km的富碱侵入岩带.本文是在前人研究基础上首次从大尺度对整个郯庐断裂带富碱侵入岩的Nd、Sr、Pb同位素做了比较系统深入的研究,发现四个大地构造单元的富碱侵入岩具有明显不同的Nd、Sr、Pb同位素特征,暗示四大构造单元富碱侵入岩的源区性质差别较大:兴蒙-吉黑造山带晚中生代富碱侵入岩源于和亏损地幔有成因联系的年青地壳(εNd(t)为ft.,平均值 2.25);华北克拉通、扬子克拉通和大别-苏鲁造山带三大构造单元晚中生代富碱侵入岩都主要源于EMI型富集地幔(εNd(t)均为负值).但是这三大构造单元岩石圈地幔富集程度差别较大.大别-苏鲁造山带岩石圈地幔相对富集程度最高(εNd(t)平均值为-17.06);华北克拉通次之(εNd(t)平均值为-10.03);扬子克拉通岩石圈地幔富集程度最低(εNd(t)平均值为-6.41).本文认为大别.苏鲁造山带岩石圈地幔相对最富集的原因可能是在早中生代扬子克拉通陆壳向华北克拉通深俯冲之后的折返过程中,因压力释放有利于熔/流体的形成、析出和向上交代并改造华北岩石圈地幔使之成为富集地幔.     

Relationships between the chemical and isotopic (Sr,Nd, Hf,and Pb) heterogeneity of the mantle

The reasons for the isotopic heterogeneity of the mantle are analyzed in this paper on the basis of published isotopic data. It was shown that the observed variations in the Sr, Nd, Hf, and Pb isotopic compositions of oceanic basalts cannot be explained by mixing of a finite number of homogeneous reservoirs (components). The considerable variations in the contents of Rb, Sr, Sm, Nd, Lu, Hf, U, Th, and Pb and ratios of these and other trace elements in tholeiitic basalts indicate that the chemical heterogeneity of mantle-derived rocks is inherited in part from their sources. Oceanic tholeiitic basalts show a tight correlation between the variances of Nd, Hf, Sr, and Pb isotopic ratios and the variances of respective radiogenic additions that could be accumulated in these rocks over a time period of 〈t〉 = 1.8 Gyr. This paradox clearly indicates that variations in all the mentioned isotopic systems in the mantle cannot be understood without the analysis of the geochemical heterogeneity of rocks.The close to lognormal distributions of lithophile trace elements in oceanic tholeiitic basalts and the character of correlations between them suggest that magmatic differentiation was the major mechanism of the formation of chemical heterogeneity in the mantle. The role of metasomatism in the global transport of trace elements and formation of the geochemically heterogeneous mantle is probably rather limited. Intrusive processes within the mantle could result in the development of chemical and, after a period of time, isotopic anomalies in the mantle. Simple calculations show that long-lived geochemical anomalies related to alkaline magmatism could be responsible for EM-I type isotopic anomalies, and geochemical anomalies produced in the mantle by enriched tholeiitic melts could be sources of EM-II type isotopic anomalies. The analysis of the distribution of the isotopic compositions of mantle-derived igneous rocks in various “isochron” coordinates suggested that the formation of geochemical anomalies in the mantle is a long-term process lasting for hundreds of millions of years. Nonetheless, trends approaching 4.5 Ga were never observed in such diagrams, i.e., the mantle is in general rejuvenated in all isotopic systems. Both on global and local scales, there are no mantle domains that have remained geochemically closed and isolated since the Earth’s formation. The entire mantle is involved in material exchange processes.The development of isotopic systems in the mantle was explored by means of statistical modeling accounting for the tendency of a continuous increase in the chemical heterogeneity of the mantle source and the tendency of obliteration of the isotopic heterogeneity owing to the convective mixing in the mantle. The modeling demonstrated that the character of the isotopic heterogeneity of the mantle is statistically consistent with the character of its chemical heterogeneity. The mantle isotopic anomalies HIMU, EM-I, and EM-II were generated by two simultaneous processes: the magmatic differentiation of mantle material and its not very efficient mixing.     

Chemical and isotopic (Pb,Sr) zonation in a peraluminous granite pluton: role of fluid fractionation

The Davis Lake pluton (DLP, ~800 km²) of southwestern Nova Scotia, Canada, part of the large peraluminous South Mountain batholith of ca. 380 Ma (U/Pb zircon, Ar/Ar mica), consists of granite and subordinate topaz–muscovite leucogranite that hosts greisen tin-base metal mineralization. A new Pb–Pb isochron age for leucogranite from the most evolved part of the DLP indicates a crystallization age of 378±3.6 Ma, coincident with other radiometric ages of the DLP (Rb–Sr, Re–Os, Pb–Pb). The intrusion displays a compositional zonation defined by lead and strontium isotopic ratios, as well as some major elements (e.g., Si, F), incompatible trace elements (e.g., Li, Rb, Ta, U, Sn), and elemental ratios (e.g., K/Rb and Nb/Ta). The greisens and the leucogranites that host them are characterized by extreme radiogenic compositions for Pb and Sr, and their chemical-isotopic trends are extensions of the trends displayed by the less evolved granites. The covariations of the isotopic ratios with several major and trace elements and elemental ratios as well as the Pb–Pb and Rb–Sr isochrones indicate that all phases of the intrusion originated from a homogeneous parental magma. The granitoid magma underwent extensive fractional crystallization of feldspars, minor biotite and accessory minerals (monazite, apatite and zircon) in a compositionally zoned magma chamber that was subsequently accompanied by fluid fractionation, during which time the internally derived fluorine-rich fluids modified the Rb/Sr, U/Pb and Th/Pb ratios, leading to distinct variations of ⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr, ²⁰⁶Pb/²⁰⁴Pb, ²³⁸U/²⁰⁴Pb and ²³²Th/²⁰⁴Pb isotopic ratios. These data therefore document the evolution of a granitic magma through magmatic (i.e., crystal fractionation), orthomagmatic (i.e., crystal-fluid fractionation) and hydrothermal (i.e., fluid fractionation) stages that culminated in the formation of a tin-base metal deposit. The Pb isotope data also constrain the source region for the DLP as being Avalonian basement that, by inference, must underlie much of the Meguma Terrane.Editorial responsibility: T.L. Grove

He, Sr, Nd, and Pb isotopic constraints on the origin of the Marquesas and other linear volcanic chains

The classic hotspot hypothesis [Morgan, W. J., 1971. Convection plumes in the lower mantle. Nature 230, 42–43], which posits that linear volcanic chains are traces of fixed plumes in the mantle on moving lithospheric plates, was instrumental in elevating the plate tectonics paradigm in the 1960s into a modern Earth Science theory. The hypothesis itself, however, remains conjectural because many of its predictions, particularly the simple age-progressive type of volcanism, are not observed in many linear volcanic chains. As an alternative explanation, it is proposed that linear volcanic chains are formed through magmatism along pre-existing lines of weakness such as transform zones and old sutures, or along cracks created by stresses on lithospheric plates. The Marquesas linear volcanic chain in south-central Pacific has geologic features that are consistent with some of the predictions of both hypotheses. To better constrain the origin of this volcanic chain, we collected major and trace element and Sr, Nd, Pb, and He isotopic data from several Marquesan lavas. Our new analyses combined with literature data classify the samples into the well established tholeiitic to mildly alkalic, low ⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr, high ¹⁴³Nd/¹⁴⁴Nd, shield-building volcanic phase lava group and highly alkalic, high ⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr, low ¹⁴³Nd/¹⁴⁴Nd, post-shield phase group. Lead isotopes show generally higher ²⁰⁶Pb/²⁰⁴Pb ratios and suggest evidence of crustal assimilation for the shield-building phase lavas, consistent with the argument that the shield-building phase volcanism has a lithospheric source component. On the other hand, post-shield phase lavas that are predicted to represent the true composition of the mantle source by the hotspot hypothesis have higher ³He/⁴He ratios and these are coupled to other geochemical tracers. Thus our results show that the Marquesas volcanic chain, similar to many other linear volcanic chains, has a high ³He/⁴He component in its mantle source. The presence of such a distinct source component cannot be easily explained by dispersed upper mantle heterogeneities, but provides a powerful constraint for the hotspot origin of many linear volcanic chains.     

东蒙地区燕山期花岗岩Nd、Sr、Pb同位素及其岩石成因

由于缺乏系统的同位素分析研究工作，过去对东蒙地区燕山期岩浆岩的成因探讨，主要集中在大量岩石地球化学方面的分析研究，因此，其成因观点和岩浆起源的认识也各持己见，主要有3种认识：1)本区中生代壳源和幔源共生的“双模式”观点，认为锡多金属成矿与这种“双模式”的岩浆岩有成因联系；2)中生代花岗岩属于引张环境下，地幔上隆所引发的亚碱性一碱性非造山岩浆作用的产物；3)中生代岩浆岩是中生代大陆内部伸展造山环境下底侵作用形成的一套壳幔混熔岩浆的产物。总之，研究者多认为燕山期岩浆岩具有壳幔混合起源的特征。笔者对燕山期花岗质岩石的钕、锶、铅同位素进行了分析研究。其εNd(t)全为正值，变化范围为 0．75～ 8．12，平均值为 3．07，说明该区燕山期花岗岩的物质来源与亏损地幔有成因联系。其初始锶比值比较集中，变化于0．7028～0.7096，平均为0．7063，介于现代大洋玄武岩(0．702～0．706)和大陆地壳(0．706～0．718)之间，更接近大洋玄武岩。该区燕山期花岗岩的初始铅同位素的3个比值^206Pb/^204Pb、^207Pb／^204Pb、^308b／^204Pb都较高，平均值分别为18．3742，15．5500，38．1810。由钾长石的铅同位素比值计算出来的μ值介于9．51～8．91之间，低于μ=9．74的陆壳演化线。结合邻区兴蒙—北疆一带的岩浆岩同位素研究成果，笔者认为东蒙地区的燕山期花岗岩岩浆起源于亏损地幔的部分熔融作用和亏损地幔起源的晚华力西期古蒙古洋壳的部分熔融作用，即燕山期花岗岩浆最终起源于亏损地幔。并且提出了亏损地幔—古蒙古洋壳—边缘陆块活化的演化模式。

Sr,Nd and Pb isotopic and REE geochemistry of St. Paul's Rocks: the metamorphic and metasomatic development of an alkali basalt mantle source

Surface samples of peridotites and hornblendite mylonites from St. Paul's Rocks, and dredge samples from the flanks of the massif, have been analyzed for Sr, Nd and Pb isotopic ratios and Rb, Sr, and REE concentrations. This data, coupled with previous K and REE data, are used to develop a self-consistent model for the genesis of these ultramafic rocks. This model involves metasomatism of an ocean island-type mantle about 155 m.y. ago by a strongly light-REE-enriched metasomatic fluid, probably derived from the same mantle. This metasomatism produced light-REE-enriched materials which were isotopically homogeneous on a small scale (100 m), and isotopically heterogeneous on a large (km) scale. The geochemical relationships between the peridotites and the hornblendites were established by metamorphic equilibration on a relatively small scale (<10 m). The average mantle produced by these events is characterized by⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr=0.7034,¹⁴³Nd/¹⁴⁴Nd=0.51291,²⁰⁶Pb/²⁰⁴Pb=19.33 and 207/204=15.63. An alkali basalt which postdates the mylon-itization of the ultramafic massif has an isotopic character which is identical to the average ultramafic massif; it also lies on the five-dimensional isotopic mantle plane of Zindler et al. (1982). With respect to major elements, trace elements, and Sr, Nd and Pb isotopes, the average ultramafic rock of the St. Paul's massif is an ideal candidate for a mantle source from which alkali basalts can be derived by partial melting; the St. Paul's massif is in fact the first such example of an ultramafic rock which meets all the requirements to be an alkali basalt source.     

Nd,Sr, and Pb isotopic characteristics of Cretaceous intrusive rocks from deep levels of the Sierra Nevada batholith,Tehachapi Mountains,California

The Cretaceous gabbroic to granitic intrusive rocks of the Tehachapi Mountains were emplaced at depths of 25–30 km and thus afford a view of deep processes in the Sierra Nevada batholith. They consist of the 115 Ma Tehachapi suite and the 100 Ma Bear Valley suite; new zircon U-Pb age data reveal the presence of the latter as far west as Grapevine Canyon. The Nd, Sr, Pb, and O isotopic whole-rock data and zircon Pb inheritance patterns for the bulk of the suites suggest an origin by mixing between depleted mantlederived magmas and metasedimentary material with a substantial component of old continental material. However, this mixing is not evident in variations between isotopic ratios and chemical and lithologic parameters. This implies that isotopic hybridization of magmas took place deeper than 30 km, and that fractionation processes are likely responsible for the bulk of the chemical variation in this part of the Sierra Nevada batholith. Consideration of the isotopic data in the context of the Sierra Nevada batholith as a whole suggests that the well-known east-to-west isotopic gradients in the batholith may reflect a change in the average isotopic character of the preintrusive frame-work rather than a change in amount of crustal component. On the other hand, the lack of areal gradients in Sr and Nd isotopic ratios in the main study area may indicate a lack of pronounced gradation at deep levels, at least within the western batholith.     

Petrogenesis and tectonics of late Permian felsic volcanic rocks,eastern Qiangtang block,north-central Tibet: Sr and Nd isotopic evidence

The Palaeo-Tethyan tectonic evolution of central Tibet remains a topic of controversy. Two Permian to Late Triassic arc-like volcanic suites have been identified in the eastern Qiangtang (EQ) block of north-central Tibet. Three competing models have been proposed to explain the formation of these volcanic suites, with two models involving a single stage of long-lived subduction but with opposing subduction polarities, while the other model involves a two-stage subduction process. Here, we present new whole-rock geochemistry, including Sr–Nd isotope data, for late Permian felsic volcanics of the Zaduo area. These volcanics are mainly low to middle K calc-alkaline felsic tuffs and rhyolites with SiO₂ concentrations up to 73 wt.%. In primitive mantle-normalized diagrams, the volcanics are typified by large ion lithophile element enrichment and high-field-strength element (e.g. Nb, Ta, P, and Ti) depletion, with slightly negative Eu anomalies. They have initial Sr ratios (⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr) _i of 0.70319–0.70547, and ?Nd(t) values of +3.4 to +3.5, suggesting derivation by the partial melting of a depleted mantle wedge, followed by assimilation of crustal material. The available geochemical data indicate the presence of two distinctive igneous evolution trends within the Permian to Late Triassic volcanics of the EQ block, consistent with a two-stage subduction model. Permian to Early Triassic arc-like volcanics are formed during northward (present-day orientation) subduction, whereas the Late Triassic volcanics are related to southward (present-day orientation) subduction of mafic crust of the Garze–Litang Ocean.     

Transition from calc-alkaline to potassium-rich magmatism in subduction environments: geochemical and Sr, Nd, Pb isotopic constraints from the island of Vulcano (Aeolian arc)

The problem of mantle metasomatism vs. crustal contamination in the genesis of arc magmas with different potassium contents has been investigated using new trace element and Sr–Nd–Pb isotopic data on the island of Vulcano, Aeolian arc. The analysed rocks range in age from 120 ka to the present day, and cover a compositional range from basalt to rhyolite of the high-K calc-alkaline (HKCA) to shoshonitic (SHO) and potassic (KS) series. Older Vulcano products (>30 ka) consist of HKCA–SHO rocks with SiO₂=48–56%. They show lower contents of K₂O, Rb and of several other incompatible trace element abundances and ratios than younger rocks with comparable degree of evolution. ⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr ranges from 0.70417 to 0.70504 and increases with decreasing MgO and compatible element contents. ²⁰⁶Pb/²⁰⁴Pb ratios display significant variations (19.31 to 19.76) and are positively correlated with MgO, ¹⁴³Nd/¹⁴⁴Nd (0.512532–0.512768), ²⁰⁷Pb/²⁰⁴Pb (15.66–15.71) and ²⁰⁸Pb/²⁰⁴Pb (39.21–39.49). Overall, geochemical and isotopic data suggest that the evolution of the older series was dominated by assimilation–fractional crystallisation (AFC) with an important role for continuous mixing with mafic liquids. Magmas erupted within the last 30 ka consist mostly of SHO and KS intermediate and acid rocks, with minor mafic products. Except for a few acid rocks, they display moderate isotopic variations (e.g. ⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr=0.70457–0.70484; ²⁰⁶Pb/²⁰⁴Pb=19.28–19.55, but ²⁰⁷Pb/²⁰⁴Pb=15.66–15.82), which suggest an evolution by fractional crystallisation, or in some cases by mixing, with little interaction with crustal material. The higher Sr isotopic ratios (⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr=0.70494–0.70587) of a few, low-volume, intermediate to acid rocks support differentiation by AFC at shallow depths for some magma batches. New radiogenic isotope data on the Aeolian islands of Alicudi and Stromboli, as well as new data for lamproites from central Italy, are also reported in order to discuss along-arc compositional variations and to evaluate the role of mantle metasomatism. Geochemical and petrological data demonstrate that the younger K-rich mafic magmas from Vulcano cannot be related to the older HKCA and SHO ones by intra-crustal evolutionary processes and point to a derivation from different mantle sources. The data from Alicudi and Stromboli suggest that, even though interaction between magma and wall rocks of the Calabrian basement during shallow level magma evolution was an important process locally, a similar interpretation can be extended to the entire Aeolian arc.

Sr,Nd and Pb isotopic compositions of calc-alkaline and peralkaline silicic volcanics from the D'Entrecasteaux Islands,Papua New Guinea,and their tectonic significance

Summary Sr, Nd and Pb isotope data are presented for a transitional basalt-peralkaline rhyolite suite, and spatially associated calc-alkaline rhyolites from the D'Entrecasteaux Islands, eastern Papua New Guinea. Both suites have a typical convergent margin geochemical signature (i.e. high Zr/Nb, La/Nb, and low Ta/Yb compared with OIB). The transitional basalt-peralkaline rhyolite suite and calc-alkaline rhyolites have a restricted range of²⁰⁶Pb/²⁰⁴Pb (18.522–18.661),²⁰⁷Pb/²⁰⁴Pb (15.543–15.631), and²⁰⁸Pb/²⁰⁴Pb (38.31–38.63) values which overlap the fields of volcanics from Tonga, Fiji, and Pacific MORB and sediments. The transitional basalt-peralkaline rhyolite suite also displays a restricted range of¹⁴³Nd/¹⁴⁴Nd values (0.513053–0.512984), but a much broader range of⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr (0.703989–0.70585) values. The latter reflects uncertainties in the ages of samples with very high⁸⁷Rb/⁸⁶Sr values and the effects of Sr exchange with seawater. The calc-alkaline rhyolites have consistently lower¹⁴³Nd/¹⁴⁴Nd values (0.512923—0.512867), and a more restricted range of⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr values (0.703864–0.704028) compared with the transitional basalt-peralkaline rhyolite suite.The isotopic and trace element data are consistent with the interpretation that the calc-alkaline rhyolites were produced by partial melting of a young arc protocrust, whereas associated calc-alkaline basic and intermediate magmas were derived from a depleted mantle source which previously had been modified by subduction along the Trobriand Trough. The transitional basalt-peralkaline rhyolite suite was produced by extensive magmatic differentiation of a parental transitional basalt magma in a relatively shallow magma chamber. The parent magma was produced by partial melting of either a depleted MORB-source mantle or a less-depleted OIB-type source which previously had been modified by subduction processes. The hy- and ol-normative transitional basalt magmas were probably generated in response to lithospheric thinning at somewhat higher pressures than qz-normative calc-alkaline magmas.The close spatial and temporal relationship between the transitional basalt-peralkaline rhyolite suite and the tale-alkaline volcanics reflects the complex and dynamic tectonic setting of eastern Papua and the D'Entrecasteaux Islands. In particular, the change from calc-alkaline to alkaline magmatism appears to have occurred following a change from compressional to extensional tectonics resulting from the westward propogation of the Woodlark spreading ridge into eastern Papua.

Sr, Nd und Pb Isotopenzusammensetzung saurer kalkalkalischer und peralkalischer Vulkanite der D' Entrecasteaux Inseln, Papua Neuguinea, und ihre tektonische Bedeutung

Zusammenfassung In dieser Arbeit werden Sr, Nd und Pb Isotopendaten transitionaler Basalt-peralkalischer Rhyolithabfolgen und räumlich mit diesen assoziierter kalkalkalischer Rhyolithe der D' Entrecasteaux Inseln im östlichen Papua Neuguinea vorgestellt. Beide Abfolgen zeigen für konvergiernde Plattenränder typische geochemische Signaturen (z.B. hohe Zr/Nb, La/Nb und niedrige Ta/Yb Verhältnisse im Vergleich mit OIB). Die transitionale Basalt-peralkalische Rhyolithabfolge und die kalkalkalischen Rhyolithe zeigen eine geringe Variation in ihren²⁰⁶Pb/²⁰⁴Pb (18.522–18.661),²⁰⁷/²⁰⁴Pb (15.543–15.631) und²⁰⁸Pb/²⁰⁴Pb (38.31–38.63) Verhältnissen, die mit denen von Vulkaniten aus Tonga, Fiji und den pazifischen MOR-Basalten und Sedimenten übereinstimmen. Die transitionale Basalt-peralkalische Rhyolithabfolge zeigt weiters eine geringe Variationsbreite der¹⁴³Nd/¹⁴⁴Nd Verhältnisse (0.513053–0.512984), aber eine größere Streuung der⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr Verhältnisse (0.703989–0.70585). Letztere reflektiern die Unsicherheiten der Alterseinstufung der Proben mit sehr hohen⁸⁷Rb/⁸⁶Sr Verhältnissen und die Effekte des Sr-Austausches mit Meerwasser. Die⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr Verhältnisse kalkalkalischer Rhyolithe variieren im Vergleich dazu gerigfügiger (0.703864–0.704028).Isotopen und Spurenelementdaten sind mit der Interpretation, daß die kalkalkalischen Rhyolithe durch partielle Anatexis junger Inselbogen-Protkruste entstanden sind, kompatibel. Die mit ihnen vergesellschafteten basischen bis intermediären klakalkalischen Magmen entstammen einer abgereicherten Mantelquelle, die zuvor durch Subduktionsprozesse entlang des Trobriandgrabens modifiziert wurde. Die transitionale Basalt-peralkalische Rhyolithabfolge entstand durch extensive magmatische Differentiation eines transitionalen basaltischen Stammagmas in einer relativ seicht liegenden Magmenkammer. Das Stammagma wurde durch partielle Aufschmelzung entweder eines abgereicherten MORB-Mantels oder einer weniger stark abgereicherten OIBQuelle, die zuvor durch Subduktionsprozesse modifiziert wurde, gebildet. Die Hyund O1-normativen transitionalen Basaltmagmen wurden wahrscheinlich im Zuge der Ausdünnung von Lithosphäre unter etwas höheren Drucken gebildet als die Quarznormativen kalkalkaischen Magmen.Die enge räumliche und zeitliche Beziehung der transitionalen Basalt-peralkalischen Rhyolithabfolge mit kalkalkalischen Vulkaniten spiegelt die komplexen und dynamischen geotektonischen Vorgänge im östlichen Papua Neuguinea wieder. Der Wechsel von kalkalkalischem zu alkalischem Magmatismus könnte durch die Umstellung von Kompressions- auf Extensionstektonik, die mit der Verlagerung des westlich gelegenen Woodlark Spreadingzenrums in das östliche Papua Neugiunea in Beziehung gebracht wird, erklärt werden.

Nd and Sr isotopic crustal contamination patterns in an Archaean meta-basic dyke from northern Labrador

Samples from the core to the margin of a 20 cm wide meta-dolerite dyke are sequentially enriched in K, Rb, Sr, and the light REE's. Rb-Sr and Sm-Nd compositional and isotopic profiles in the dyke are interpreted to be the result of selective contamination with components of country rock derivation, rather than the result of simple bulk mixing. ${}^{87}\text{Rb}{}^{86}\text{Sr}$ ratios are higher at the edge of the dyke than at its centre, although they are somewhat irregular, due probably to the effects of subsequent alteration. This profile and one shown by unsupported ⁸⁷Sr are both consistent with contamination of the dyke by a fluid phase derived by the breakdown of biotite. Common Sr shows a parallel, albeit weaker, contamination profile which is interpreted to reflect the contribution of a Sr-bearing phase such as plagioclase. ${}^{147}\text{Sm}{}^{144}$Nd ratios and ¹⁴⁴Nd concentrations increase and decrease respectively from the margin to the core of the dyke. In addition, the margin of the dyke is significantly less radiogenic than the interior. This contrasts with the relatively radiogenic character of an adjacent pegmatite vein. As this sample does not lie on an anticipated contamination profile between the Uivak gneisses and the dyke it is concluded that the REE contamination of the dyke occurred by the addition of a REE-enriched fluid phase which gained access to the dyke by flow along the dyke-pegmatite interface. If it is assumed that both the Rb-Sr and Sm-Nd contamination profiles are the result of diffusion limited processes, then the observations of scale made in this paper suggest that the rate of diffusion of Nd is an order-of-magnitude slower than that for Sr. In view of the scale and nature of these profiles, ages obtained from isotopic data for such mafic dykes must be interpreted with some care. Nevertheless, in spite of these limitations the ?_Nd values for the least contaminated specimens provide a clear indication that the Saglek dykes were derived from a depleted mantle source with ?_Nd? +2.     

东秦岭北部富碱侵入岩钕、锶、铅同位素特征及构造意义

东秦岭北部富碱侵入岩主要分布在陕西省洛南与河南省卢氏－确山一带,岩石有碱性岩、碱性花岗岩和石英正长岩三大类。岩石Ｎｄ、Ｓｒ和Ｐｂ同位素地球化学的研究表明,该区富碱侵入体的源区应是以下地壳为主,并通过碰撞造山作用带入少量地幔和上地壳物质。源区同位素组成横向与垂向的不均一性说明华北块体存在成熟的下地壳层,而北秦岭块体是造山带环境。古大陆边缘经历了多次裂解作用和多期碱性岩浆活动;碱性岩浆是在减压扩容环境     

华北克拉通北部古-中元古代富碱侵入岩的Nd、Sr、Pb同位素地球化学：岩石圈地幔富集的证据

华北克拉通北部古-中元古代富碱侵入岩主要分布在燕辽三叉裂堑系和辽吉拗拉谷中及附近,为一套高碱高钾的基性-中性岩,以正长岩类为主。本文通过开展系统的 Nd、Sr、Pb 同位素研究,发现所有岩体岩石均以高负ε_(Nd)(t)为特征,ε_(Nd)(t)=-3.4～-7.5,平均值为～4.8,这与研究区古-中元古代基性-超基性岩石的 Nd 同位素特征(ε_(Nd)(t)=-4～-8) 一致,与燕辽裂堑系发育的偏碱性火山岩 Nd 同位素特征(ε_(Nd)(t)=-4.3～-8.9)也比较相似,表明它们的物质来源相似,都与富集地幔有关。Sr 同位素初始比值(~(87)St/~(86)Sr)_i比较低,主要变化在0.7028～0.7053之间,平均值为0.7041。钾长石铅同位素组成普遍较低,~(206)Pb/~(204)Pb、~(207)pb/~(204)Pb、~(208)Pb/~(204)Pb 比值变化范围(梁屯-矿洞沟岩体除外)分别为14.500～15.70l、14.887～15.150和34.178～36.537,平均值分别为14.968、14.984和35.057。在ε_(Nd)(t)-ε_(Sr)(t)图解上,所有岩体的投影点均在地幔演化趋势线附近,比较接近 EMI 型富集地幔端员,暗示它们的物质来源与 EMI 型富集地幔有关;钾长石 Pb 同位素模式图也说明这些岩体物质来源与地幔和下地壳有关。通过两端员混合模拟,揭示了岩浆演化过程中存在少量的下地壳物质混染,平均约14%左右。从2.5Ga 左右开始华北克拉通岩石圈地幔的亏损程度逐渐变小,在2.2Ga 左右局部呈现富集性特征,1.85Ga时整个岩石圈地幔已经完全转变为富集性,之后富集程度越来越高。推测早期俯冲携带的壳源物质以及后期地幔流体的交代作用可能是岩石圈地幔逐渐转变为富集性的原因。
