The genesis of mid-ocean ridge basalt

The tholeiitic volcanics erupted at mid-ocean ridges (mid-ocean ridge basalts or MORB) constitute the dominant volcanic lithology on Earth. Analyses of tachylites from Atlantic, Pacific and Indian Ocean spreading centres range widely in 100 Mg/(Mg + Fe²⁺) ratios (= M) and M varies from 70 to 30. Glasses with M = 55?65 are the most common variants and only a small percentage of glass analyses has M approaching 70. The latter defines the M -value of basaltic melts in equilibrium with residual upper-mantle source peridotites with M ～ 88. The frequency histogram of the M -values of average compositions of MORB glasses at 88 ocean floor localities is similar in analysis distribution to the frequency histograms depicting variation in the M -values of glasses from the various spreading centres.M -values and nickel contents of MORB and the nature and compositions of the near-liquidus phases crystallized experimentally from MORB melts at elevated pressures have been applied to identify primary (unfractionated) melts erupted in a mid-ocean ridge environment. However, Ni abundances and high-pressure phase relationships are not necessarily unique or definitive parameters of primary melts. The latter are generally linked genetically with Mg-rich lherzolitic source rocks of ‘pyrolite’ type (M ～ 90. The spectrum of M -values displayed by MORB glasses, with a definite bias towards relatively Fe-rich compositions (average M of approximately 600 MORB glasses is 58.6), suggests that the melts may have evolved either via ferromagnesian fractionation of relatively Mg-rich parental melts (M = 70?80), or by partial melting of a heterogeneous upper mantle with variable M values, or as a result of magma mixing of already fractionated melts and primitive magma batches.For a number of reasons fractonation models based on the extraction of olivine or one or more of olivine, plagioclase and clinopyroxene, either from picritic melts (M > 75 or ‘primitive’ basaltic melts with M ～ 70, are questionable as prime controls of MORB chemistry. These include: (1) the extreme rarity of ‘quenched’ picritic or Mg-basaltic melts in ocean ridge environments; (2) the lack of adequate evidence of the appropriate (of necessity voluminous) complementary cumulates (dunites, allivalites, troctolites, anorthosites) demanded by olivine, plagioclase, or olivine + plagioclase fractionation models; and (3) the aberrent frequencies of glass M -values whereby the assumed derivatives (M = 55?65 are much more abundant (and presumably much more voluminous) than the alleged parents or transitional derivatives (65 < M < 75). The nature of the trends of Na₂O, CaO and Al₂O₃ in Galapagos Spreading Centre tachylites of extended composition (M = 65?30) indicates the ‘gabbroic’ fractionation is also unlikely to exert important controls on MORB chemistry.As their M -values increase, mid-ocean ridge basalts increase in Al, Ca, Ni, Co, Cr and decrease in Ti, Mn, Na, K and P. Except for Al and Ca, these trends are similar to those displayed by upper-mantle peridotites increasing in M, i.e., becoming more refractory following one or more partial melting episodes. It is suggested that at least a majority of mid-ocean ridge basalts is intrinsically primary and generated by variable degrees of partial melting of heterogeneous lherzolitic upper mantle (80 < M < 90) with variable abundances of elements such as Ti, Al, Ca and Na and also depleted in large ion lithophile (LIL) elements. Negative europium anomalies in the rare-earth patterns of some oceanridge basalts (ferrobasalts with low M) are ascribed mainly to the persistence of residual plagioclase in relatively Fe-rich plagioclase lherzolite source rocks, following low degrees of partial melting. The partial melting events leading to the generation of mid-ocean ridge basalts took place over a relatively modes pressure range (approximately 8–15 kb) which encompassed the transition of plagioclase lherzolite to spinel lherzolite. This proposal appears consistent with the nature and occurrence of megacrysts (xenocrysts) of tschermakitic Cr-diopside (Ca₄₃Mg₅₂Fe₅), olivine (mg 89–91), plagioclase (An_92-85) and spinel (Fe₂Al₆₀Cr₃₈) in some MORB. The megacryst compositions suggest that these phases represent disaggregated plagioclase peridotite or spinel lherzolite acquired by melts during their passage through the oceanic upper mantle.     

Soret separation of mid-ocean ridge basalt magma

Chemical differentiation of an initially homogeneous mid-ocean ridge basalt (MORB) liquid has been experimentally observed in a temperature gradient above the liquidus. The magnitude of this effect in producing differences in composition is comparable to that of crystal-liquid fractionation for a given temperature difference. However the chemical changes produced by the two processes, Soret and crystal-liquid fractionation, are different. Soret separations resemble those observed in a third process — silicate liquid immiscibility. This similarity is a reflection of the fact that the Soret-separable components are the same network-former/network-modifier structural components which segregate during silicate liquid immiscibility.The differences between Soret and crystal-liquid separations allow the recognition of Soret processes as anomalies in MORB suites which are not compatible with normal crystal fractionation processes. The common occurrence of primary, cumulus, magnesian orthopyroxene in MOR gabbros and the absence of such orthopyroxene as phenocrysts in the coeval erupted MORBS is one such anomaly. The peculiar covariation of plagioclase and olivine compositions in some 3-phase olivine-plagioclase-clinopyroxene MOR gabbros, when compared with normal crystal fractionation results, is another anomaly which may be understood in terms of Soret processes operating in conjunction with normal crystal fractionation. These Soret processes must operate through some sort of convective thermal boundary layer at the margin of a MOR magma chamber to allow Soret diffusive exchange to occur before the temperature contrasts which drive it are dissipated. These driving temperature contrasts are also maintained in part by the periodic replenishment of hot, fresh magma into the MOR magma chamber.

A theoretical approach to understanding the isotopic heterogeneity of mid-ocean ridge basalt

We have developed an idealized mathematical model to understand the isotopic variability of the mantle and its relation to the observed variations in isotopic ratios ¹⁴³Nd/¹⁴⁴Nd, ⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr, ¹⁷⁶Hf/¹⁷⁷Hf, ²⁰⁸Pb/²⁰⁴Pb, ²⁰⁶Pb/²⁰⁴Pb, and ²⁰⁷Pb/²⁰⁴Pb measured on mid-ocean ridge basalt (MORB). We consider a simple box model of mantle processes. A single melt region produces a melt fraction F of melt, and the average time since a given parcel of mantle material last visited this region is given by the time scale τ_melt. The melt region fractionates the parent/daughter ratios. Over time this leads to variations in the mantle isotopic ratios as the parent decays to the daughter. Key assumptions are that the half-life of the parent isotope is large compared with τ_melt, that the flow is strongly stirring, and that the mantle has reached a statistical steady state. This enables us to neglect the specifics of the underlying flow. Sampling from our model mantle is dealt with by averaging over a large number N of samples to represent the mixing after melting.The model predicts a probability density for isotopic ratios in MORB which, with exception of the Pb isotopes, are consistent with measurements. Fitting the MORB data to this model gives estimates of the model parameters F, τ_melt, and N. Small melt fractions with F around 0.5% are essential for a good fit, whereas τ_melt and N are less well constrained. τ_melt is estimated at around 1.4 to 2.4 Ga, and N is of the order of hundreds. The model predicts a larger variability for the Pb isotopes than that observed. As has been stated by many previous authors, it appears that fundamental differences exist between the dynamics of Pb isotopes and those of Nd, Sr and Hf isotopes.

Weathering of a Quaternary glass-rich basalt in Bakrit,Middle Atlas Mountains,Morocco. Comparison with a glass-poor basalt

Abstract

We compared the disintegration processes and mineralogic and chemical evolution pathways of two Quaternary basalts at Bakrit and Ifrane, weathered in the same physiographic and hydrologic conditions, but differing in texture according to the quantity of glass present. At Bakrit, quite abundant glass favoured the formation of a microfissure network throughout the rock and its disintegration without any distinct weathering front. As a result, basaltic sand with polymineral grains and a clayey-silty matrix were produced. At Ifrane, weathering of a glass-poor basalt produced only a clayey-silty saprolite. In glass-rich basalts, secondary minerals formed in microfissures and were 2/1 clay-mineral rich. In glass-poor basalts, secondary minerals formed mainly within primary minerals and were 1/1 clay-mineral rich. Because glass could be easily dissolved, it protected the minerals of close chemical composition, especially the plagioclases. The order of basalt-mineral weathering (olivine, labrador, augite, Fe-Ti oxides) was modified when glass was abundant (glass, olivine, augite, labrador, Fe-Ti oxides). © Elsevier, Paris     

浙江玄武岩风化壳红土磁性特征及其对成土过程的响应

以位于浙江磐安县的玄武岩风化壳红土（XZ剖面）为研究对象,对其进行系统环境磁学分析,结合常量元素、漫反射光谱、有机质等分析手段,研究玄武岩风化壳红土的磁性特征,并探讨磁性特征与风化成土过程之间的关系。结果表明：在风化成土初期,玄武岩风化壳红土磁性较强,具有较高的磁化率（χ）和饱和等温剩磁（SIRM）,磁性矿物主要为原生多畴（MD）颗粒亚铁磁性矿物（磁铁矿、钛磁铁矿）,磁性特征继承了母岩特性;随着风化成土作用的增强,土壤中的原生亚铁磁性矿物逐渐转化为次生不完全反铁磁性矿物（赤铁矿、针铁矿等）,导致土壤磁性降低,但细颗粒磁性矿物逐渐增加;强风化成土阶段,原生亚铁磁性矿物进一步减少,反铁磁性矿物仍表现出一定高值,同时大量成土成因的细颗粒次生强磁性矿物（SP颗粒磁铁矿、磁赤铁矿）逐渐生成,导致土壤χ持续升高。本研究显示玄武岩风化壳红土的磁学特征与风化成土过程具有紧密的关系,磁性参数χ_fd%可作为亚热带地区玄武岩风化壳红土成土过程和成土强度的指示指标。

     

扎河坝蛇绿混杂岩内富铌玄武(安山)岩的地球化学特征及其地质意义

在新疆北部东准噶尔的扎河坝蛇绿混杂岩中发现的富铌玄武（安山）岩,其SiO₂含量介于46.71%~57.65%,TiO₂含量为1.00%~1.76%,与太古代绿岩带内富铌玄武（安山）岩相似,Na₂O含量为3.86%~6.64%,P₂O₅为0.34%~0.82%,明显高于太古代绿岩带富铌玄武（安山）岩。扎河坝富铌玄武岩铌含量介于7.22×10^-6~21.91×10^-6之间,大于7×10^-6,与典型的富铌玄武岩相同。该岩石轻重稀土元素分馏较明显,其分布模式为无明显铕至弱负铕异常的右倾曲线。尽管铌的绝对含量较高,但由于钍和轻稀土元素更加富集,在微量元素蛛网图中扎河坝富铌玄武（安山）岩仍表现为铌的明显亏损,同时高场强元素Zr、Hf及Ti也表现出一定程度的亏损。微量元素地球化学特征显示,扎河坝蛇绿混杂岩内富铌玄武（安山）岩形成于古亚洲洋的洋内弧,它是被埃达克质岩浆交代的地幔楔橄榄岩部分熔融的产物,同时大洋沉积物及俯冲板块释放的流体对成岩作用也有一定的贡献。富铌玄武（安山）岩作为弧前增生楔定位在扎河坝蛇绿混杂岩体内,与早前报道的超高压变质岩共存表明,该蛇绿混杂岩体至少记录了两次性质不同的古亚洲洋洋壳俯冲,这更进一步证实新疆北部晚古生代新增陆壳是古亚洲洋多次俯冲作用的产物。     

The influence of primary magma composition,H2O and pressure on mid-ocean ridge basalt differentiation

MORB suites display variations in their chemical differentiation trends which are closely related to the incompatible element enrichment of the basalts. We examine suites of primitive to evolved basalts from the Pacific-Nazca Ridge at 28° S (mostly depleted); from the Juan Fernandez microplate region (depleted) and from the Explorer Ridge, northeast Pacific (mostly enriched). Trends for incompatible element enriched MORBs consistently show less depletion of Al₂O₃ and less enrichment of FeO when plotted on MgO variation diagrams.Least squares modeling indicates that enriched basalts have undergone less plagioclase crystallization than depleted basalts especially in the early stages of differentiation. Using thermodynamic modelling, we show that variations between MORB differentiation trends result largely from differences in the major element chemistry and H₂O content of primary magmas. Our chosen enriched and depleted near-primary magmas are similar in major element chemistry but the enriched near-primary magma has higher H₂O and lower Al₂O₃ than the depleted near-primary magma. The MORB crystallization sequence is: olivineolivine+plagioclase olivine+plagioclase+high-Ca pyroxene; and the separate and combined effects of lower Al₂O₃ and higher H₂O are to cause plagioclase to crystallize later (lower temperature), and to make the interval of olivine+plagioclase crystallization shorter. As a result, enriched differentiates have higher Al₂O₃ and lower FeO than depleted MORBs at a given MgO content, even though their parents' Al₂O₃ is lower. Crystallization of enriched basalts at higher pressure than depleted basalts is not able to account for differences between the differentiation trends because the proportion of plagioclase is higher during three-phase crystallization at high pressure.The variations in trends do not depend on geographic location and thus are superimposed on any regional variations in MORB chemistry or mantle source. Nor are they related to spreading rate. Depleted basalts from the fast-spreading 28° S and Juan Fernandez ridges have differentiation trends similar to depleted basalts from the medium-spreading Galapagos Spreading Center, whereas differentiation trends for enriched basalts from the medium-spreading Explorer Ridge are quite different. Fe³⁺/Fe_total is similar (and quite low) for enriched and depleted basalts, indicating that neither oxidation state nor early magnetite crystallization are important.     

Search for the proverbial mantle osmium sources to the oceans: Hydrothermal alteration of mid-ocean ridge basalt

We present Os and Sr isotopes and Mg, Os, and Sr concentrations for ridge-crest high-temperature and diffuse hydrothermal fluids, plume fluids and ridge-flank warm spring fluids from the Juan de Fuca Ridge. The data are used to evaluate the extent to which (1) the high- and low-temperature hydrothermal alteration of mid-ocean ridge basalts (MORBs) provides Os to the deep oceans, and (2) hydrothermal contributions of non-radiogenic Os and Sr to the oceans are coupled. The Os and Sr isotopic ratios of the high-temperature fluids (265-353 °C) are dominated by basalts (¹⁸⁷Os/¹⁸⁸Os = 0.2; ⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr = 0.704) but the concentrations of these elements are buffered approximately at their seawater values. The ¹⁸⁷Os/¹⁸⁸Os of the hydrothermal plume fluids collected ∼1 m above the orifice of Hulk vent is close to the seawater value (=1.05). The low-temperature diffuse fluids (10-40 °C) associated with ridge-crest high-temperature hydrothermal systems on average have [Os] = 31 fmol kg⁻¹, ¹⁸⁷Os/¹⁸⁸Os = 0.9 and [Sr] = 86 μmol kg⁻¹, ⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr = 0.709. They appear to result from mixing of a high-temperature fluid and a seawater component. The ridge-flank warm spring fluids (10-62 °C) on average yield [Os] = 22 fmol kg⁻¹, ¹⁸⁷Os/¹⁸⁸Os = 0.8 and [Sr] = 115 μmol kg⁻¹, ⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr = 0.708. The data are consistent with isotopic exchange of Os and Sr between basalt and circulating seawater during low-temperature hydrothermal alteration. The average Sr concentration in these fluids appears to be similar to seawater and consistent with previous studies. In comparison, the average Os concentration is less than seawater by more than a factor of two. If these data are representative they indicate that low-temperature alteration of MORB does not provide adequate non-radiogenic Os and that another source of mantle Os to the oceans must be investigated. At present, the magnitude of non-radiogenic Sr contribution via low-temperature seawater alteration is not well constrained. If non-radiogenic Sr to the oceans is predominantly from the alteration of MORB, our data suggest that there must be a different source of non-radiogenic Os and that the Os and Sr isotope systems in the oceans are decoupled.     

川西南部周公山地区峨眉山玄武岩有利储层分析

川西雅安地区周公山构造周公2井玄武岩取心较长、较完整,并且其紧邻高产气井——周公1井,是研究玄武岩气藏的典型井。以岩石学特征为基础,宏观和微观相结合,从岩心、电性、物性、微观特征入手将周公2井取心段峨眉山玄武岩中储层段岩石学特征、孔隙类型、流体特征及其纵向上的分布发育特征进行归纳总结并与1井产层段进行了对比研究。分析认为,川西南部地区玄武岩有利储层分布于2处,一处为顶部普遍发育的数米厚风化壳,另一处是旋回中上部的富含杏仁体角砾化玄武岩。第二类储层中发育沥青并伴随发育石英,溶孔、溶洞、裂缝普遍,但渗透率较小;其有效储集空间大多数由次生作用产生,喷溢间歇期的构造作用、风化及溶蚀作用良好的匹配关系至关重要;后期形成的构造裂缝与垂直于层面的节理缝较易形成开放体系,极可能就是破坏周公2井气藏保存条件的主要因素。     

蚀变洋壳玄武岩俯冲过程中含碳矿物相变质演化及脱碳作用的研究

俯冲作用是连接地表系统和地球深部系统的最为关键的地质过程,其对研究地球深部碳循环具有重要的意义。俯冲洋壳岩石圈中的碳主要存储在沉积物、蚀变洋壳玄武岩以及蛇纹岩中。俯冲变质作用过程含碳岩石的变质演化控制着其中含碳矿物相的转变及碳迁移过程。本文选取了蚀变洋壳玄武岩进行相平衡模拟,来研究其含碳矿物相的变质演化过程。计算结果表明,变质玄武岩体系中的碳酸盐矿物之间的转变反应除了受压力控制之外,还受到温度和体系中铁含量的影响。随着压力的升高蚀变玄武岩中碳酸盐矿物会发生方解石/文石-白云石-菱镁矿的转变,但在高压/超高压条件下,温度的升高可以使菱镁矿转变成白云石。碳酸盐矿物中的铁含量受到体系中铁含量的影响,白云石和菱镁矿中的铁含量随着体系中铁含量的增加而增加。在水不饱和条件下,洋壳不管是沿着低温还是高温地热梯度线俯冲到岛弧深度,蚀变玄武岩体系几乎都不发生脱碳作用。然而在水饱和条件下,当洋壳沿着高温以及哥斯达黎加地热梯度线俯冲到岛弧深度时,蚀变玄武岩体系中的碳几乎可以全部脱出去。蚀变玄武岩体系中水含量的增加可以促进体系的脱碳作用。     

滇西南昌宁－孟连构造带晚泥盆世枕状玄武岩和层状硅质岩的特征

滇西南耿马地区回爱剖面发育有昌宁-孟连构造带最早的枕状玄武岩,与其共生的放射虫硅质岩、硅质泥岩含有晚泥盆世放射虫和牙形石化石。对硅质岩和玄武岩的地球化学研究表明,玄武岩的化学成分具有高P、Ti的特点,轻稀土元素富集,在稀土元素球粒陨石标准化模式图上表现为明显的右倾,微量元素中K、Rb、Ba等大离子亲石元素与Nb、Ta、Zr等高场强元素富集。化学投图结果表明玄武岩形成于洋岛环境。硅质岩的Al／(Al Fe Mn)比值大部分介于0.5～0.7之间,Al_2O_3／(Fe_2O_3 Al_2O_3)位于0.41～0.8之间,大部分硅质岩的Ce／Ce*比值小于1,具弱的Ce负异常,总体表现为大陆边缘型硅质岩的特征。这说明研究区晚泥盆世为邻近大陆边缘的洋盆环境,具洋壳性质的昌宁-孟连古特提斯盆地在晚泥盆世已经形成。     

大陆板内玄武岩数据挖掘:成分多样性及在判别图中的表现

通常认为,大陆溢流玄武岩(CFB)、裂谷玄武岩(CRB)、板内玄武岩(WPB)均产于板内构造环境,其地球化学特征与OIB类似,源于富集的下地幔,与地幔柱的活动有关。本文利用GEOROC数据库对全球CFB、CRB和WPB数据进行挖掘,发现上述三类玄武岩判别图投图几乎落入了全部的构造环境域,有些甚至主要落入MORB和IAB区,而不是落入WPB区。结果表明原先的玄武岩判别图的判别功能值得商榷,尤其对大陆玄武岩来说,许多判别图都存在问题。全体CFB、CRB和WPB的地球化学成分变化巨大,暗示其源区具有强烈的不均一性:部分CFB、CRB和WPB来自富集的地幔柱,仍然具有经典的OIB的特征;部分来自MORB的源区,与MORB的再循环作用有关;部分来自岛弧岩石圈之下的亏损地幔源区,以强烈亏损Nb-Ta为特征,类似岛弧玄武岩的地球化学特征。许多地区的大陆玄武岩可分为低钛和高钛两类,低钛玄武岩大多是亏损或强烈亏损的,而高钛玄武岩通常是富集型的。本文的研究表明,富集型大陆玄武岩可能来自富集的下地幔,而亏损的和强烈亏损的玄武岩可能来自具有MORB或岛弧特征的软流圈地幔。进一步指出,源区性质可能是大陆玄武岩多样性的主控因素,其次为部分熔融程度、熔融深度、结晶分离、陆壳混染以及AFC过程。
