Petrochemische und nomenklatorische Revision der Vulkanite des süd-ägäischen Raumes (Griechenland)

Zusammenfassung Alle einwandfreien Gesteinsanalysen der jungen Vulkanite des süd-ägäischen Raumes (insgesamt 181) wurden nach der von A.Rittmann neu entwickelten Berechnungsmethode (Rittmann-AMS) auf ihren quantitativen Mineralbestand berechnet und ausgewertet. Dabei zeigte sich, daß ein Großteil dieser Vulkanite falsch benannt ist. Der Anteil der Andesite ist wesentlich geringer als bisher angenommen. Ebenso sind keine Basalte vertreten. Der Schwerpunkt der Gesteine fällt in das Latitandesitfeld, wobei besonders stark quarzführende Typen dominieren. Ein Teil der alkalirhyolithischen bis latitandesitischen Vulkanite weist einen teilweise beträchtlichen AI-Überschuß auf, der sich im Auftreten von (errechnetem) Cordierit ausdrückt. Die Entstehung der Magmen des untersuchten Gebietes wird durch Anatexis von sialischem Material verschiedener Zusammensetzung erklärt. Dies wird durch AI-Überschuß, den ausgeprägt pazifischen Charakter, das Auftreten von exogenem Quarz und weitere Indizien gestützt. Die lokal vertretenen Vulkanite mit schwacher atlantischer und mediterraner Tendenz werden durch mäßige und lokale pneumatolytische Differentiation (Alkalizufuhr) der sialisch-anatektischen Magmen gedeutet.

With a new calculation-method for volcanic rocks, recently developed by A.Rittmann (Rittmann-AMS), all available chemical analyses of the young volcanics of the south-aegean Sea (altogether 181) have been calculated. The evaluation proved a wrong denomination for the bulk of these volcanic rocks. More than 50% of the so-called andesites are latitandesites and dacites (nomenclatureStreckeisen, 1965). Likewise no basalts are existing in this area. The latitandesites are mostly quartz-bearing types (on an average between 10 and 15% of free quartz). Many of the alkalirhyolitic to dacitic rocks and some of the latitandesites show a considerable excess of A1₂O₃, which appears in the calculation as cordierite (up to7%). The acid volcanics are explained to have been originated by fusion of sialic material of granitic to granodioritic composition of the upper parts of the crust. The latitandesites and andesites are supposed to be derived by melting of degranitizised sialic material of lower parts of the crust. Characteristics for the sialic origin are: excess of A1₂O₃, the presence of exogenous quartz-relics, the strong calcalcaline serial index and others. In the south-aegean area locally appear volcanics with a weak atlantic or mediterranean serial character. This fact is interpreted by moderate pneumatolytic differentiation (gaseous transfer) of the sialic-anatectic magmas.

Résumé Toutes les analyses chimiques des jeunes roches volcaniques dans la région de la mer Egée sud (en somme 181) ont été calculées et évaluées à l'aide de la nouvelle méthode de A.Rittmann (Rittmann-AMS). Alors on a constaté qu'un grand nombre des roches volcaniques avait été qualifié incorrectement. Plus de 50 pour cent des « andesites » sont latitandesites et dacites. Il n'y a pas de basaltes. La plupart des latitandesites contiennent du quartz. Beaucoup de roches alcalirhyolitiques à latitandesitiques montrent un excès considérable de Al, ce qui apparaît dans la calculation comme cordierite. On explique la formation des magmas par la fusion de différents matériels sialiques. Quelques indices soutiennent cette théorie: l'excès de Al, le caractère typiquement pacifique, la présence de quartz exogène. La présence de roches volcaniques à caractère faiblement atlantique et méditerranéen est expliquée par la différenciation pneumatolytique modérée des magmas sialiques anatectiques.

Über die Verwendung von Dispersionskurven zur Bestimmung gefügekundlicher Gesteinsparameter

Summary Dispersion curves are described which hold for KCl solutions and for rocks saturated with KCl solutions. These curves are used to determine rock fabric parameters such as formation factors, tortuosities, and cementation factors. The fabric parameters measured by the usual methods were found to be a function of frequency. Therefore, a new method was developed that leads to constant rock fabric parameters. Seven examples are given.     

Die Rolle des Wassers bei der Thermometamorphose von Salzlagerstätten

The influence of interstitial and hydrated water on thermometamorphism of evaporites

Experiments in the System Na ₂ ²⁺ -Mg²⁺-Cl ₂ ^2– -SO ₄ ^2– -H₂O show that the effect of thermometamorphism of evaporites is to produce new mineral assemblages different from primary assemblages due to redistribution of interstitial and hydrated water.

Submicroscopical twinning in lunar and experimentally deformed pyroxenes

During deformation experiments at high pressures (10 kb) and medium temperatures (500–650°) diopside became twinned on {100} in small optically invisible domains. If host and twin occur with equal frequency, the X-ray single-crystal photograph would show orthorhombic symmetry due to the special geometry of the diopside lattice. A crystal of pyroxene from Mare Tranquillitatis has been found to give just such an X-ray photograph with orthorhombic symmetry; this is explained as a possible deformation product.     

Isotopic dating of pre-Alpidic rocks from the island of Ios (Cyclades,Greece)

The lower tectonic unit of Ios provides evidence of an at least four stage metamorphic and intrusive history which well might be generalized for large parts of the internal Pelagonian.Metamorphic country rocks of unknown age were intruded about 500 Ma ago, as concluded from a Rb-Sr whole rock (WR) isochron on relic tonalites to granodiorites which largely escaped the polyphase postmagmatic overprints.A Hercynian amphibolite facies metamorphism, during which the igneous rocks were partly recrystallized to orthogneisses, is dated by a lower intercept age of 300–305 Ma of U-Pb determinations on zircons and by three almost concordant Rb-Sr muscovite-WR ages of 295 to 288 Ma.K-Ar analyses on these muscovites and on biotites, and Rb-Sr tie lines WR-biotite and WR with other relic magmatic minerals yielded various apparent ages between 260 and 60 Ma. They are interpreted as mixed ages between a Hercynian cooling age and the two stage Alpidic overprints.White micas formed during the Eocene high P/T and/or Oligocene/Miocene Barrovian-type overprints yielded K-Ar dates ranging from 82 to 26 Ma, as well as a single Rb-Sr date of 13 Ma. These Alpidic dates resemble the more detailed age patterns of other Cycladic islands. But they are not sufficient for an independent dating of the Tertiary evolution on Ios island.     

An experimental investigation of hydroxyl solubility in jadeite and Na-rich clinopyroxenes

The solubility and incorporation mechanisms of water in synthetic, water-saturated jadeite and Na-rich clinopyroxenes have been experimentally investigated. Infrared spectra for water-saturated jadeite synthesised from 2.0 to 10 GPa show two prominent sharp peaks at 3,373 and 3,613 cm^–1 together with several weaker features in the OH-stretching region, indicating that there are at least 5 distinct modes of hydrogen incorporation in the structure. Water solubility in pure jadeite reaches a maximum of about 450 ppm by weight at 2 GPa and slowly decreases with increasing pressure to about 100 ppm at 10 GPa. Solubility can be described by the function c_OH=A f_H2O^0.5 exp (–PV_Solid/RT), where c_OH is water solubility in ppm H₂O by weight, A is 7.144 ppm/bar^0.5, f_H2O is water fugacity, and V_Solid=8.019 cm³/mol is the volume change of the clinopyroxene upon incorporation of OH. Jadeite provides a good model for understanding hydrogen incorporation mechanisms in more complex omphacite compositions. Assignment of absorption bands in IR spectra verifies the importance of cation vacancies on the M2 site in providing mechanisms for hydrogen incorporation. However, results also suggest that substitution of lower valency cations onto the M1 site may also be important. Solid solution of jadeite with diopside and in particular, with Ca-Eskola component leads to a drastic increase of water solubility, and the bulk composition has a more important effect on the capacity of omphacite to store water than pressure and temperature. Omphacite is expected to be the major carrier of water in a subducted eclogite after the breakdown of hydrous minerals.Editorial responsibility: W. Schreyer
