Effect of stress history on CPT and DMT results in sand

In order to investigate the effect of stress history on in-situ test results in granular sediments, a series of CPTs and DMTs are performed on Busan sand prepared in the calibration chamber. K_D is found to be the most sensitive to the stress history among CPT and DMT measurements. E_D and q_c are observed to be similarly affected by the stress history and, therefore, the E_D–q_c relation appears to be almost independent of the stress history. The K_D–D_R relation established without considering the stress history is likely to overestimate the relative density of OC sand. It is shown that the existence of the pre-stress of the granular sediment can be indirectly recognized by an estimation of the relative density larger than 100% when using the K_D–σ_v′–D_R relation suggested for NC sand. Although q_c/σ_v′–K_D/K₀ and E_D/σ_v′–K_D/K₀ relations are heavily influenced by the stress history, q_c/σ_m′–K_D/K₀ and E_D/σ_m′–K_D/K₀ relations are observed to be independent of the stress history. Based on these relations, charts to evaluate the K₀ value from q_c and/or DMT indices are developed for both NC and OC sands. The design chart based on E_D/σ_m′–K_D/K₀ and E_D/σ_v′–K_D/K₀ relations is expected to be practically useful as the usage of this chart requires only DMT indices. The developed design charts are applicable to Busan sand but different sets of equations and charts may be developed for other sands.     

电感耦合等离子体发射光谱法测定稀土矿石中15种稀土元素——四种前处理方法的比较

稀土元素在矿石中有多种不同的赋存形式,主要有离子吸附型和矿物晶格型,稀土不同赋存形态对其本身准确分析测定有很大的影响。本文从稀土元素在矿石中不同赋存形态的角度出发,探讨了不同前处理方法对稀土准确测试结果的影响,采用盐酸-硝酸-氢氟酸-高氯酸(四酸)敞开酸溶、盐酸-硝酸-氢氟酸-高氯酸-硫酸(五酸)敞开酸溶、氢氟酸-硝酸封闭压力酸溶、氢氧化钠-过氧化钠碱熔四种方法对离子吸附型和矿物晶格型两类赋存类型的稀土矿石样品进行前处理,电感耦合等离子体发射光谱法测定其中的15种稀土元素。结果表明:对于离子吸附型的稀土矿石标准物质(GBW 07161、GBW 07188),四酸敞开酸溶法测定的结果明显偏低,15种稀土元素大都偏低10%~20%,五酸敞开酸溶法、封闭压力酸溶法和碱熔法的测定值与标准值吻合;而对于稀土以离子化合物及类质同象置换的形式赋存于矿物晶格中的白云鄂博轻稀土矿石样品,三种酸溶法结果较碱熔法均偏低,其中四酸敞开酸溶法偏低最多,约偏低20%左右,五酸敞开酸溶法和封闭压力酸溶法偏低5%~15%。本文提出,对于离子吸附型稀土矿,五酸敞开酸溶法和封闭压力酸溶法可以代替传统操作复杂的碱熔法,但对于稀土以离子形式赋存于矿物晶格型的稀土矿,目前最合适的前处理法是传统的碱熔法。     

Magnetic properties and neutron diffraction study of two manganese sulfosalts: monoclinic MnSb<Subscript>2</Subscript>S<Subscript>4</Subscript> and benavidesite (MnPb<Subscript>4</Subscript>Sb<Subscript>6</Subscript>S<Subscript>14</Subscript>)

Mn²⁺Sb₂S₄, a monoclinic dimorph of clerite, and benavidesite (Mn²⁺Pb₄Sb₆S₁₄) show well-individualized single chains of manganese atoms in octahedral coordination. Their magnetic structures are presented and compared with those of iron derivatives, berthierite (Fe²⁺Sb₂S₄) and jamesonite (Fe²⁺Pb₄Sb₆S₁₄). Within chains, interactions are antiferromagnetic. Like berthierite, MnSb₂S₄ shows a spiral magnetic structure with an incommensurate 1D propagation vector [0, 0.369, 0], unchanged with temperature. In berthierite, the interactions between identical chains are antiferromagnetic, whereas in MnSb₂S₄ interactions between chains are ferromagnetic along c-axis. Below 6 K, jamesonite and benavidesite have commensurate magnetic structures with the same propagation vector [0.5, 0, 0]: jamesonite is a canted ferromagnet and iron magnetic moments are mainly oriented along the a-axis, whereas for benavidesite, no angle of canting is detected, and manganese magnetic moments are oriented along b-axis. Below 30 K, for both compounds, one-dimensional magnetic ordering or correlations are visible in the neutron diagrams and persist down to 1.4 K.     

Origin of dyke swarms in Wadi El Redi-Wadi Lahami area,southern Eastern Desert of Egypt

Dykes predominate within the Neoproterozoic rocks, especially granites, of Wadi El Redi-Wadi Lahami area in the southern Eastern Desert of Egypt. The dyke swarms form three major suites: from the oldest to the youngest, they are basaltic andesite—Suite 1 (E-W and ENE-WSW), rhyolite—Suite 2 (NE-SW), and andesite—Suite 3 (NNE-SSW, NNW-SSE, and NW-SE). Despite the wide ranges of the dyke compositions, the feldspar and amphibole are usually the essential forming minerals. The plagioclase arrays between Ab_0.9An_99.10 in the basaltic andesite and Ab_98.80An_0.70 in the rhyolite, while sanidine ranges from Or_44.60Ab_49.70 to Or_98.40Ab_1.60. Amphibole in Suite 1 and 3 (Al₂O₃, TiO₂, Na₂O, and K₂O are the lowest and those of SiO₂ and CaO are the highest) samples are usually magnesio-hornblende, whereas it is edenite and tschermakite in Suite 2 dykes. Despite all parent magmas have calc-alkaline affinity, some elements such as Ni show an erratic behavior against the progressing differentiation from one magma chamber and implying for an assimilation of the country rocks. The high contents of amphibole, the depletion in Ti, and the enrichment in large-ion lithophile elements (such as K, Rb, Ba, Sr, and Ba) compared to the primitive mantle composition are consistent with parent hydrous melts generated due to extension above the subduction zone. The estimated compositions of liquids in equilibrium with amphiboles and the pressures at which they crystallized (4.61–7.8 kbar for the Suite 2 and 1.5–2 kbar for the Suites 1 and 3) are greatly varied. These are indications for a difference in the source regions of the parent magmas of the studied dykes. It is supposed that the Suite 1 and 2 dykes are a conjugate set emplaced due to the NW-SE crustal extension in the Arabian-Nubian shield, whereas the Suite 3 dykes generated due to the rifting along the Red Sea.     

Elasticity of tetragonal end-member majorite and solid solutions in the system Mg4Si4O12-Mg3Al2Si3O12

 The adiabatic elastic moduli of polycrystalline En₅₀Py₅₀ and En₈₀Py₂₀ majorite-garnet solid solutions (where En=4MgSiO₃, Py=Mg₃Al₂Si₃O₁₂) and the end-member En₁₀₀ tetragonal majorite were determined at ambient conditions using Brillouin spectroscopy. The adiabatic bulk modulus, K, and shear modulus, μ, of En₅₀Py₅₀ were found to be K=173.1 (20) and μ=92.3 (10) GPa, and are indistinguishable from those of the end-member pyrope, Py₁₀₀. The moduli of the more majorite-rich samples are significantly lower and are virtually identical to each other (K=162.6(11) and μ=85.7(7) for En₈₀Py₂₀; K=166(5) and μ=88(2) for En₁₀₀). In combination with previously reported moduli for this system, we conclude that both K and μ are constant over the compositional range from Py₁₀₀ to a majorite content of about 70–80%, whereupon the moduli decrease substantially. For compositions ranging from En₈₀Py₂₀ to the end-member majorite, the moduli are also approximately independent of composition, but at a lower value. An alternative model with a continuous decrease in moduli with increasing majorite content cannot be excluded, within the uncertainties of existing measurements. The contrast in moduli between aluminous pyrope garnet and Al-free majorite are small compared with the modulus changes accompanying the pyroxene – majorite phase transformation.

Chemistry,isotope values (δD, δ18O, δ34SSO4) and temperatures of the water inflows in two Gotthard tunnels,Swiss Alps

Water inflows in the Gotthard Highway Tunnel and in the Gotthard Exploration Tunnel are meteoric waters infiltrating at different elevations, on both sides of an important orographic divide. Limited interaction of meteoric waters with gneissic rocks produces Ca–HCO₃ and Na–Ca–HCO₃ waters, whereas prolonged interaction of meteoric waters with the same rocks generates Na–HCO₃ to Na–SO₄ waters. Waters circulating in Triassic carbonate-evaporite rocks have a Ca–SO₄ composition. Calcium-Na–SO₄ waters are also present. They can be produced through interaction of either Na–HCO₃ waters with anhydrite or Ca–SO₄ waters with a local gneissic rock, as suggested by reaction path modeling. An analogous simulation indicates that Na–HCO₃ waters are generated through interaction of Ca–HCO₃ waters with a local gneissic rock. The two main SO₄-sources present in the Alps are leaching of upper Triassic sulfate minerals and oxidative dissolution of sulfide minerals of crystalline rocks. Values of δ³⁴S_SO4 < ∼+9‰ are due to oxidative dissolution of sulfide minerals, whereas δ³⁴S_SO4 >∼+9‰ are controlled either by bacterial SO₄ reduction or leaching of upper Triassic sulfate minerals. Most waters have temperatures similar to the expected values for a geothermal gradient of 22°C/km and are close to thermal equilibrium with rocks. However relatively large, descending flows of cold waters and ascending flows of warm waters are present in both tunnels and determine substantial cooling and heating, respectively, of the interacting rocks. The most import upflow zone of warm, Na-rich waters is below Guspisbach, in the Gotthard Highway Tunnel, at 6.2–9.0 km from the southern portal. These warm waters have equilibrium temperatures of 65–75°C and therefore constitute an important low-enthalpy geothermal resource.

The boyndie syncline,a D1 structure in the Dalradian of Scotland

The structure of the Dalradian rocks of the Banffshire coast has been re-examined. It is shown that D₁ structures face upwards along the entire section and the major Boyndie Syncline (Sutton and Watson 1956) must also be of D₁, age and not D₃ as proposed by Johnson (1962). D₂ structures are developed in the west, most strongly in the Portsoy Group and Cowhythe Gneiss where they may be related to the Portsoy Thrust (Elles 1931). East of the Cowhythe Gneiss D₂ structures are not developed but D₃ structures are of local importance. Porphyroblast growth is considered to be post-D₁, pre-D₃ related to the ‘active’ D₂ deformation in the west (Barrovian) and to the ‘static’ D₂ interval in the east (Buchan). The wider implications of these conclusions for Dalradian structure are briefly considered.     

Detrital modes of recent deep-sea sands and their relation to tectonic setting: a first approximation

Complete petrographic analyses of modern deep-sea sands are surprisingly rare, but are needed if problems such as the influence of tectonics on petrology, or changes in petrology due to diagenesis, are to be understood in ancient sandstones. This paper is a first attempt, using data from our own study of 80 sands plus data from the literature, to establish a baseline for modern deep-sea sands with which ancient sandstones can be compared. We assigned sands to five plate-tectonic categories, each of which has a distinct average petrologic composition: (1) basins associated with trailing-edge continental margins, Q₆₂F₂₆L₁₂; (2) with leading-edge continental margins, either subduction, Q₁₆F₅₃L₃₁, or (3) strike-slip, Q₃₄F₃₉L₂₇; (4) back-arc basins, Q₂₀F₂₉L₅₁; (5) fore-arc basins, Q₈F₁₇L₇₅. The amount and type of lithic fragments and the type of feldspar are particularly important discriminators, the amount of quartz less so. Trailing-edge and fore-arc basins have quite distinctive compositions, but back-arc basins and basins near the two types of leading-edge margins show some overlap, and thus may be hard to differentiate in ancient sandstones.     

辽冀地区条带状铁建造地球化学特征：Ⅰ.主量元素特征

辽冀地区(主要包括鞍山-本溪地区和冀东地区)位于华北克拉通东北部,产出有诸多BIFs型大型-特大型铁矿床。鞍山-本溪地区和冀东地区是我国最大的两个铁矿集区,其中鞍本地区铁矿储量占全国的24%左右,冀东地区铁矿资源储量占全国的10%以上。虽然辽冀地区BIFs大多为形成于新太古代绿岩带中的Algoma型BIFs,但不同矿区BIFs形成环境和受后期改造的程度不一致,鞍本地区BIFs变质级别为绿片岩相-角闪岩相,冀东地区BIFs经历了绿片岩相-麻粒岩相的变质作用,且辽冀地区普遍发育混合岩化。本文主要对比研究了辽冀地区28个铁矿床200件铁矿石的主量元素特征,为探讨辽冀地区BIFs的形成提供了更多的信息。BIFs样品主要由SiO2和Fe2O3T组成,其中鞍山-本溪地区SiO2+Fe2O3T平均为95.10%,冀东地区SiO2+Fe2O3T平均为88.06%,CaO和MgO含量仅次于SiO2和Fe2O3T,且大部分矿区具有正相关关系,Al2O3、TiO2、K2O、Na2O、MnO、P2O5含量很低,这暗示BIFs原岩为一种化学沉积岩,主要为含有少量碳酸盐泥的硅质和铁质的胶体沉积;辽冀地区Al2O3和TiO2均可见明显的正相关,这可能是由于BIFs沉积过程中有少量碎屑物质的加入,这种相关性在冀东地区更为明显,且除SiO2+Fe2O3T外,其它氧化物含量明显高于鞍本地区,说明冀东地区BIFs形成时沉积环境更为动荡,有更多的碎屑物质加入;虽然辽冀不同地区BIFs经历了不同级别的变质作用,形成了不同的矿物组合,但是氧化物含量却变化不大,这说明了变质反应主要为等化学反应;鞍本地区和冀东地区碱质含量也存在差异性,前者的Na2O和K2O含量均低于后者,且后者Na2OK2O,结合野外地质特征,可能暗示了混合岩化作用对冀东地区的影响更为显著。     

CO2 gas pools in Jiyang sag,China

The CO₂ gas pools of Jiyang sag are located along the Gaoqing–Pingnan fault within a region of alkaline basalts. The concentration of CO₂ in the gas pools is in the range of 68.85–96.99%. All of the geochemical tracers for the CO₂ gas pools support the suggestion that CO₂ was mainly derived from mantle degassing. The δ¹³C values of CO₂ in the gas pools are in the range of −5.67–−3.41‰, which are higher than those of organogenic CO₂, and near to those of abiogenic CO₂. Their ³He/⁴He ratios are 2.80–4.47×10⁶, i.e. the R/Ra ratios are 2.00–3.19, showing that the Jiyang sag had undergone strong mantle degassing. CO₂/³He ratios are 0.59–0.89×10⁹, which are identical to those for N-MORB, indicating that CO₂ in these CO₂ gas pools was mainly derived from the mantle. Accompanying the intrusion of mantle-derived magma, the mantle-derived CO₂ migrated upwards along deep faults and was trapped in advantageous structures forming gas pools.     

Electrochemistry of reduced sulfur species in natural waters—I. The H2S-H2O system

Careful measurements of rest potentials of platinum electrodes (Eh) in the H₂S-H₂O system were made together with measurements of the pH and the potentials of Ag-Ag₂S electrodes (E_s^2?). The potentials of the platinum electrode are characteristic of H₂S chemisorption followed by H₂S discharge on the platinum. The relations between Eh, E_s^2? and pH are characteristic of the H₂S-H₂O system and of the hydrogen sulfide concentration. Thus these parameters can be employed to distinguish H₂S-H₂O systems from H₂S-S₈-H₂O systems. Field measurements on hot sulfurous springs are in agreement with laboratory data.     

中国北方典型中小盆地城市大气颗粒物污染特征及趋势对比

分析了2014~2018年北方5个典型中小盆地城市(兰州、银川、临汾、太原、南阳)PM10与PM2.5的浓度变化特征和大致来源类型。除2018年银川PM2.5浓度外,各市PM10和PM2.5年均浓度均超标;兰州、银川和南阳PM10与PM2.5呈逐年下降趋势,南阳下降最明显;临汾PM10与PM2.5呈逐年上升趋势;太原PM10与PM2.5稳定维持在一个高浓度状态。5个城市颗粒物浓度的季节变化特征一致:冬春高、夏秋低。对PM2.5/PM10值而言,冬季和夏季该比值较高,分别受取暖和降水的影响;春季和秋季该比值较低,分别受沙尘和秸秆焚烧及高强度建筑施工的影响。5市PM2.5和PM10浓度具有良好的线性关系,细颗粒占比大小顺序为临汾>南阳>太原>银川>兰州。     

南极普通球粒陨石风化等级的重新厘定

在南极格罗夫山普通球粒陨石的风化等级划分中出现了和Wlotzka(1993)标准矛盾的现象。部分普通球粒陨石的金属和陨硫铁氧化不足20%,然而硅酸盐却发生了蚀变。如果考虑金属的氧化量,这种风化程度应为W1,如果考虑硅酸盐的蚀变,这种风化程度应为W5。对于存在如此大的差异本文给出了折衷的解决办法——对金属和硅酸盐同时进行风化等级划分。金属的风化等级划分为W_m0-W_m4五个,硅酸盐风化等级划分为W_s0-W_s3四个。依据新方案,GRV 021588、021636、021772和021957等4块无法用Wlotzka(1993)标准来确定风化等级的陨石的风化等级均为W_m1-W_s1。而陨石GRV 023312的风化等级为W_m3-W_s0,其相当于Wlotzka(1993)标准中的W3。     

Geochemical signature of the granitoids in the Chalukou giant porphyry Mo deposit in the Heilongjiang Province,NE China

The Chalukou porphyry Mo deposit, located in the northern Great Xing'an Range, is the largest Mo deposit in the Xing'an–Mongolia orogenic belt. Its ore bodies are mainly hosted in the intermediate-felsic complex and Jurassic volcanic sedimentary rocks, of which Late Jurassic granite porphyry, quartz porphyry and fine-grained granite are closely associated with Mo mineralization. The Middle Jurassic monzogranite belongs to shoshonite series, with SiO₂ and Al₂O₃ contents of 69.48 to 74.98% and 12.35 to 14.48%, respectively. The total alkali (K₂O + Na₂O) content ranges from 7.67 to 10.42%, with K₂O/Na₂O ratios between 1.07 and 2.81. These rocks are strongly enriched in Rb and K but are depleted in Ta, Nb, P and Ti, with negative Eu anomalies and positive ε_Hf(t). The Late Jurassic granite porphyry, quartz porphyry and fine-grained granite are shoshonite or high-K calc-alkaline series. Their SiO₂ and Al₂O₃ contents range from 73.87 to 78.95% and 10.35 to 13.47%, respectively. The total alkali (K₂O + Na₂O) contents range from 8.06 to 10.02%, with K₂O/Na₂O ratios from 1.03 to 8.20. These rocks are strongly enriched in Rb, K and Th, but are depleted in P, Ti, Ba and Sr, indicating clear negative Eu anomalies and positive ε_Hf(t). The Middle–Late Jurassic granitoids in the Chalukou deposit are highly fractionated I-type granitoids, and derived from juvenile lower crust materials that originated from the Neoproterozoic depleted mantle. These granitoids formed in the extension tectonic setting of the post-collision stage of the Mongol–Okhotsk orogenic belt, probably superposed by the back-arc extension related to the subduction of the Paleo-Pacific Plate.     

Gaps in cubic closest packing: from MgO via spinel to the pharmacosiderite crystal structure type

Numerous ordered defect structures are known that are related to the sodium chloride (or MgO) structure type, thus they are basically cubic closest packed (ccp) arrangements with vacancies. For example the NbO type is an MgO type in which one quarter each of the anions and the cations are missing compared to the ccp in such a way that both anions and cations are in square-planar coordination. In spinel, Al₂MgO₄, one half of the octahedrally coordinated cations are missing compared with the MgO type and only one eighth of the tetrahedrally coordinated sites within the ccp are occupied. What these cases have in common is that all these derivatives are rather dense. This is different in pharmacosiderite, K[Fe₄(OH)₄As₃O₁₂]. 6 to 7H₂O, where one half of the anion positions, three quarters of the octahedral sites and five eighth of the tetrahedral sites remain vacant, compared to the spinel type. Pharmacosiderite is a wide open porous structure with zeolitic properties. We are illustrating these relationships using a Bärnighausen symmetry tree and by tables relating the various structure types to each other.     

Lattice dynamics and Raman spectroscopy of protoenstatite Mg2Si2O6

Enstatites (Mg₂Si₂O₆) are important rock forming silicates of the pyroxene group whose structures are characterised by double MgO₆ octahedral bands and single silicate chains. Orthoenstatite transforms to protoenstatite above 1273 K with a doubling of the a axis and a rearrangement of the silicate chains with respect to the Mg₂₊ ions. Lattice dynamical calculations based on a rigid-ion model in the quasi-harmonic approximation provide theoretical estimates of elastic constants, long wavelength phonon modes, phonon dispersion relations, total and partial density of states and inelastic neutron scattering cross-sections of protoenstatite. The computed elastic constants are in good agreement with experimental data. The computed density of states of a chain silicate such as protoenstatite is distinct from that of olivines (forsterite, Mg₂SiO₄ and fayalite, Fe₂-SiO₄) with isolated silicate tetrahedra. The band gaps in the density of states in forsterite are largely due to the separation in the frequency ranges of the external and internal vibrations of the isolated silicate group, whereas in protoenstatite these gaps are filled by the vibrations of the bridging oxygens of the silicate chain. The computed density of states is used to calculate the specific heat, the mean square atomic displacements and temperature factors. Validity of these calculations are supported by Raman scattering measurements. Polarised and unpolarised Raman spectra are obtained from small single crystals of protoenstatite (Li,Sc)_0.6Mg_1.4Si₂O₆ stable at room temperature using the 488 nm or 514.5 nm lines of an Ar⁺ ion laser and a micro-Raman spectrometer with backscattering geometry. The Raman spectra were analysed and interpreted based on the lattice dynamical model. The experimental Raman frequencies and mode assignments (based on polarised single crystal spectra) are in good agreement with those obtained from lattice dynamical calculations.     

Crystal structures of the Rb- and Sr-exchanged forms of ivanyukite-Na-T

The Rb- and Sr-exchanged forms of ivanyukite have been obtained and structurally characterized. The chemical formulas derived from the electron microprobe data are as follows: the Rb-exchanged form (Na_0.10K_0.07Ca_0.15Sr_0.05Rb_1.81Ba_0.02)_{Σ = 2.20}[(Ti_3.65Nb_0.19Fe_0.05Mn_0.01)_{Σ = 3.90}O_2.07/(OH)_1.93(Si_2.98Al_0.02)_{Σ = 3.00} O₁₂] · 3.61H₂O; the Sr-exchanged form (K_0.03Sr_0.81Ca_0.04Ba_0.07)_{Σ = 0.95}[(Ti_3.74Nb_0.19Fe_0.03)_{Σ = 3.96}] [O_1.83/(OH)_2.17](Si_2.99Al_0.01)_{Σ = 3.00}O₁₂) · 7H₂O. The structures of the Rb- and Sr-exchanged forms of ivanyukite have been solved and refined using the least squares method. The structures are based on a mixed three-dimensional octahedral-tetrahedral framework of the pharmacosiderite type with channels occupied by Rb⁺ and Sr²⁺ cations and water molecules. The Rb⁺ cations in the Rb-exchanged form are 12-coordinated, whereas the Sr²⁺ cations in the Sr-exchanged form are 9- or 7-coordinated. The statistical investigation of the geometric parameters of the pharmacosiderite-type titanosilicates showed that symmetry changes are associated with the interactions of extraframework cations with the O atom of the Ti₄(O,OH)₄ clusters of the titanosilicate framework. The relationship between the unit-cell parameters in titanosilicates of the pharmacosiderite type and the structural geometric parameters of the titanosilicate framework has been proved by the use of multiple regression equations.     

Calculated fluid evolution path versus fluid inclusion data in the COHN system as exemplified by metamorphic rocks from Rogaland, south-west Norway

Abstract Fluid evolution paths in the COHN system can be calculated for metamorphic rocks if there are relevant data regarding the mineral assemblages present, and regarding the oxidation and nitrodation states throughout the entire P-T loop. The compositions of fluid inclusions observed in granulitic rocks from Rogaland (south-west Norway) are compared with theoretical fluid compositions and molar volumes. The fluid parameters are calculated using a P-T path based on mineral assemblages, which are represented by rocks within the pigeonite-in isograd and by rocks near the orthopyroxene-in isograd surrounding an intrusive anorthosite massif. The oxygen and nitrogen fugacities are assumed to be buffered by the coexisting Fe-Ti oxides and Cr-carlsbergite, respectively. Many features of the natural fluid inclusions, including (1) the occurrence of CO₂-N₂-rich graphite-absent fluid inclusions near peak M2 metamorphic conditions (927° C and 400 MPa), (2) the non-existence of intermediate ternary CO₂-CH₄-N₂ compositions and (3) the low-molar-volume CO₂-rich fluid inclusions (36–42 cm³ mol^?1), are reproduced in the calculated fluid system. The observed CO₂-CH₄-rich inclusions with minor N₂ (5 mol%) should also include a large proportion of H₂O according to the calculations. The absence of H₂O from these natural high-molar-volume CO₂-CH₄-rich inclusions and the occurrence of natural CH₄-N₂-rich inclusions are both assumed to result from preferential leakage of H₂O. This has been previously experimentally demonstrated for H₂O-CO₂-rich fluid inclusions, and has also been theoretically predicted. Fluid-deficient conditions may explain the relatively high molar volumes, but cannot be used to explain the occurrence of CH₄-N₂-rich inclusions and the absence of H₂O.     

Models of basalt petrogenesis: Lower Keweenawan diabase dikes and middle Keweenawan Portage Lake Lavas,upper Michigan

Lower Keweenawan diabase dikes from Marquette-Baraga Counties, and middle Keweenawan Portage Lake Lavas from upper Michigan, can each be subdivided into two chemically distinct groups: a low TiO₂-P₂O₅ group characterized by higher A1₂O₃ content, higher Mg ratio, and lower total Fe and REE abundances than a high TiO₂-P₂O₅ group. Both groups, which are indistinguishable in the field, are enriched in the LREE relative to the HREE, and have similar normalized REE abundance patterns.The systematic variation of the REE's within the subgroups is consistent with a model of fractional crystallization of the observed phenocryst phases, olivine and plagioclase. The unique TiO₂/P₂O₅ content of the subgroups cannot be explained by magma mixing or fractionation from a single primary liquid. Thus, two mantle sources of differing depth and REE abundance are required to produce the TiO₂-P₂O₅ subgroups which are intercalated in the lava pile. Similar chemical trends within the dikes have been interpreted to mean that the same magmatic processes must have been operative during their emplacement in the early opening stages of the Keweenawan rift in Michigan.
