Volcanic influences in a storm‐ and tide‐dominated shallow marine depositional system: The late permian broughton formation,southern Sydney Basin,Kiama, NSW

Shallow marine sediments of the Broughton Formation are dominated by immature volcanic debris of intermediate to basic composition, generated in an adjacent subaerial environment by volcanism responsible for the nine shoshonite units intercalated within sediments of the Kiama region. Sediment was supplied to the offshore environment via periodic storm‐generated, expanded high density turbidity currents. Initial deposition, represented by the Westley Park Sandstone Member, was below storm wave base, during which time the depositional surface was subjected to post‐depositional tractional reworking by northerly directed, tidally influenced bottom currents. The resulting positive‐relief sand bodies on the seafloor contain tractional sedimentary structures (the ‘tractional facies association'). Areas of the substrate between these sand bodies retained their turbidite bedding structure (the ‘rhythmically bedded facies association') but were extensively bioturbated by a diverse deposit‐feeding biomass.

Upon emplacement of the lowest of the nine shoshonite units as a tri‐composite, locally intrusive lava flow, the depositional surface was elevated, transgressing storm wave base. The body of the shoshonite flow also shielded the substrate from the northerly directed tractional currents, allowing the development and preservation of the hummocky cross‐stratified sandstone facies in the Kiama Sandstone Member. Following burial of the shoshonite flow by continued deposition, this local shielding effect was overcome and tractional currents again reworked the entire depositional surface.

Zr-rich accessory minerals (titanite, perrierite, zirconolite, baddeleyite) record strong oxidation associated with magma mixing in the south Peruvian potassic province

The Oroscocha Quaternary volcano, in the Inner Arc Domain of the Andean Cordillera (southern Peru), emitted peraluminous rhyolites and trachydacites that entrained decimetric to millimetric lamprophyric blobs. These latter show kersantite modal compositions (equal proportion of groundmass plagioclase and K-feldspar) and potassic bulk-rock compositions (1<K₂O/Na₂O<2; 6.7–7.2 wt.% CaO). Kersantite blobs have shapes and microstructures consistent with an origin from a mixing process between mafic potassic melts and rhyolitic melts. Both melts did exchange their phenocrysts during the mixing process. In addition to index minerals of lamprophyres (Ba–Ti–phlogopite, F-rich apatite, andesine and Ca-rich sanidine), the groundmass of kersantite blobs displays essenite-rich diopside (up to 22 mol%), Ti-poor magnetite microlites, Ti-poor hematite microlites and a series of Ca–Ti–Zr- and REE-rich accessory minerals that have never been reported from lamprophyres. Titanite [up to 5.3 wt.% ZrO₂ and 5.2 wt.% (Y₂O₃ + REE₂O₃)] and Zr- and Ca-rich perrierite (up to 7.2 wt.% ZrO₂ and 10.8 wt.% CaO) predate LREE- and iron-rich zirconolite and Fe-, Ti-, Hf-, Nb- and Ce-rich baddeleyite (up to 5.3 wt.% Fe₂O₃, 3.2 wt.% TiO₂, 1.5 wt.% HfO₂, 1.2 wt.% Nb₂O₅, 0.25 wt.% CeO₂) in the crystallization order of the groundmass. Isomorphic substitutions suggest iron to occur as Fe³⁺ in all the accessory phases. This feature, the essenitic substitution in the clinopyroxene and the occurrence of hematite microlites, all indicate a drastic increase of the oxygen fugacity (from FMQ − 1 to FMQ + 5 log units) well above the HM synthetic buffer within a narrow temperature range (1100–1000 °C). Such a late-magmatic oxidation is ascribed to assimilation of water from the felsic melts during magma mixing, followed by rapid degassing and water dissociation during eruption of host felsic lavas. Thus, magma mixing involving felsic melt end-members provides a mechanism for mafic potassic melts to be oxidized beyond the HM synthetic buffer curve.     

The origin and compositions of Mesoarchean oceanic crust: Evidence from the 3075 Ma Ivisaartoq greenstone belt, SW Greenland

The Mesoarchean (ca. 3075 Ma) Ivisaartoq greenstone belt contains well-preserved primary magmatic structures, such as pillow lavas, volcanic breccias, and clinopyroxene cumulate layers (picrites), despite the isoclinal folding and amphibolite facies metamorphism. The belt also includes variably deformed gabbroic to dioritic dykes and sills, actinolite schists, and serpentinites. The Ivisaartoq rocks underwent at least two stages of post-magmatic metamorphic alteration, including seafloor hydrothermal alteration and syn- to post-tectonic calc-silicate metasomatism, between 3075 and 2961 Ma. These alteration processes resulted in the mobilization of many major and trace elements. The trace element characteristics of the least altered rocks are consistent with a supra-subduction zone geodynamic setting and shallow mantle sources. On the basis of geological similarities between the Ivisaartoq greenstone belt and Phanerozoic forearc ophiolites, and intra-oceanic island arcs, we suggest that the Ivisaartoq greenstone belt represents a relic of dismembered Mesoarchean supra-subduction zone oceanic crust. This crust might originally have been composed of a lower layer of leucogabbros and anorthosites, and an upper layer of pillow lavas, picritic flows, gabbroic to dioritic dykes and sills, and dunitic to wehrlitic sills.

The Sm–Nd and U–Pb isotope systems have been disturbed in strongly altered actinolite schists. In addition, the U–Pb isotope system in pillow basalts appears to have been partially open during seafloor hydrothermal alteration. Gabbros and diorites have the least disturbed Pb isotopic compositions. In contrast, the Sm–Nd isotope system appears to have remained relatively undisturbed in picrites, pillow lavas, gabbros, and diorites. As a group, picrites have more depleted initial Nd isotopic signatures (ε_Nd = + 4.23 to + 4.97) than pillow lavas, gabbros, and diorites (ε_Nd = + 0.30 to + 3.04), consistent with a variably depleted, heterogeneous mantle source.

In some areas gabbros include up to 15 cm long white inclusions (xenoliths). These inclusions are composed primarily (> 90%) of Ca-rich plagioclase and are interpreted as anorthositic cumulates brought to the surface by upwelling gabbroic magmas. The anorthositic cumulates have significantly higher initial ε_Nd (+ 4.8 to + 6.0) values than the surrounding gabbroic matrix (+ 2.3 to + 2.8), consistent with different mantle sources for the two rock types.     

New insights into the origin of O–Hf–Os isotope signatures in arc lavas from Tonga–Kermadec

O, Hf and Os isotope data are presented for lavas from the highly depleted Tonga–Kermadec arc. O isotope values overlap with those of MORB limiting the amount of interaction with the arc crust. δ¹⁸O does not increase northwards as would be expected from the ~ 4 fold increase in subduction rate if slab-derived fluids had high ¹⁸O/¹⁶O ratios. Thus, the overall northward decrease in HFSE concentrations likely reflects depletion due to prior melt extraction, not increasing extents of melting. Hf isotopes are strongly negatively correlated with Be isotopes consistent with mixing of subducted pelagic sediment into the mantle wedge and do not require Hf to be fluid mobile. With the exception of a boninite from the north Tongan trench, the northern Tonga lavas do not overlap the Hf isotope composition of either the Samoan plume or the subducting Louisville volcaniclastic sediments. Thus, the Pb isotope signatures in these lavas must have been added by fluids and sediment melts derived from the Louisville volcaniclastics with minimal mobilisation of Hf. This suggests conservative behaviour for this element due to the formation of residual zircon during partial melting of the subducted sediments. ¹⁸⁷Os/¹⁸⁸Os ranges from 0.1275 to 0.4731 and the higher Os isotope ratios reflect the sensitivity of this system to even minor interaction with altered arc crust. Conversely, the lowest Os ratios are subchondritic and indicate that transfer of radiogenic Os from the slab is not all pervasive and provide an important constraint on the composition of the mantle wedge. Remarkably, the least radiogenic sample is a dacite demonstrating that evolved magmas can develop by fractionation from mantle-derived magmas with minimal interaction with the arc crust.     

滇西莴中新生代高镁富钾火山岩中橄榄石斑晶及其尖晶石包裹体的岩浆成因动力学意义

滇西莴中新生代高镁富钾火山岩富含橄榄石斑晶,其核部Fo含量变化较大（94～75％）,由大斑晶（〉1mm）、中等粒径斑晶（0．3～1mm）至小斑晶（〈0．3mm）,Fo含量总体变小;橄榄石斑晶CaO含量大于0．1wt％,随着Fo含量的降低,MnO含量升高,而NiO含量降低,并具有明显的岩浆结晶分异趋势,均为岩浆成因,但来源复杂;大斑晶和中等粒径斑晶的核部Fo含量明显与全岩MgO不平衡,均属于捕虏晶来源。橄榄石斑晶中的尖晶石包裹体高Cr#（0．77～0．94）、低Mg#（0．17～0．65）,具有较低的Al2O3含量（〈10wt％）;尖晶石包裹体的TiO2含量总体上较低（〈1．0wt％）,暗示了绝大部分橄榄石属于岛弧型岩浆成因,来源于富集交代的方辉橄榄岩部分熔融岩浆;少量高TiO2尖晶石包裹体（1．36～3．96wt％）的存在则暗示了部分橄榄石斑晶的形成可能与峨眉山大火成岩省有关。大斑晶和中等粒径斑晶橄榄石均具明显的成分梯度变化,由核部、幔部至边部。其Fo、NiO含量降低而MnO、CaO含量增大,并且边部成分特征与小斑晶橄榄石相类似,其源区至少存在两次岩浆作用过程,核部成分变化反映的是早期高Mg#岩浆中的橄榄石结晶分离作用过程,而边部以及小斑晶橄榄石的成分变化则反映了后期喷发岩浆（Mg#略低）体系中橄榄石的结晶分离作用过程。     

拉萨地块南部得明顶地区叶巴组火山岩LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb年龄、地球化学特征及其成因

作为拉萨地块南部形成时代最早的火山岩,叶巴组火山岩对于确定新特提斯洋的俯冲过程及印度欧亚大陆碰撞前的演化等具有重要意义。前人的研究结果显示,叶巴组火山岩是一套岩性由基性到酸性连续的、具有岛弧地球化学特征的火山岩。目前在叶巴组火山岩中只有酸性岩获得了精确的锆石U-Pb年龄,显示其形成时代为早侏罗世。然而对叶巴组中基性火山岩目前尚无精确的年代学报道。另外,有关叶巴组火山岩形成的动力学背景,目前还存在争议。对拉萨地块南部得明顶地区的叶巴组火山岩进行了锆石U-Pb年龄和地球化学研究,获得其锆石U-Pb年龄为188.8±1.8Ma,表明与酸性火山岩形成时代一致。得明顶地区叶巴组火山岩地球化学数据显示其具有类似于岛弧火山岩的特征,富集大离子亲石元素、亏损高场强元素、轻重稀土元素分异明显,部分样品具有Sr及Eu(δEu=0.75~0.83)的略微异常。结合前人的研究成果认为,叶巴组火山岩很可能形成于大陆边缘弧,其形成与新特提斯洋的北向俯冲有紧密的联系。
