矿物微量元素组成用于火成岩构造背景判别

火成岩中的矿物,特别是稳定副矿物的微量元素组成可用于火成岩构造–岩浆背景的判别。产于不同构造背景火成岩中单颗粒锆石原位微量元素含量的准确测定,积累了大量资料。本文介绍了用锆石微量元素含量的二维核密度分布投影,构建了U/Yb-Nb/Yb、Sc/Yb-Nb/Yb和U/Yb-Sc/Yb构造背景判别图解,可以区分洋中脊、地幔柱影响的洋岛及俯冲有关的弧(大陆弧)等不同构造背景形成的火成岩。单斜辉石、尖晶石、黑云母和角闪石的微量元素或主量元素组成同样可用于构造背景识别。     

Petrological investigation of the Ganyu peridotite in the Sulu ultrahigh-pressure terrane, eastern China

The ultramafic body sampled in the Chinese Continental Scientific Drilling (CCSD) Hole PP3 is located in the eastern part of the Dabie-Sulu UHP metamorphic belt near Donghai County. It is about 480 m thick, and consists chiefly of garnet peridotite, dunite and serpentinite. The principal minerals include olivine, chromium spinel, diopside, enstatite, garnet with minor secondary augite, phlogopite and amphibole. Both the olivine and orthopyroxene are highly magnesian, and the garnet is pyropic with 5.4-6.4% CaO and 0.3-3.3% Cr₂O₃. Two generations of clinopyroxene are present; an early diopside followed by augite. Chromium spinels are highly variable with Cr#s (100Cr / (Cr + Al)) between 51 and 89, and their compositions reflect different processes of formation, namely partial melting and eclogite, amphibole and greenschist facies metamorphism. The Mg#s (100 Mg / (Mg + Fe²⁺))of the spinels correlate positively with the Cr#s but negatively with oxygen fugacity. Based on the spinel compositions the ultramafic rocks originated in the shallow mantle, then subducted to depths of more than 100 km and finally exhumed to the surface. They underwent partial melting at shallow depths, mostly in the spinel facies, and were later transformed into garnet peridotites during deep subduction. All of the rocks were weakly metasomatized during exhumation and were subjected to retrograde metamorphism.     

汉诺坝地区上地幔尖晶石—石榴石相转变带温压条件

根据汉诺坝尖晶石石榴石二辉辉石岩包体矿物成分新资料和前人的尖晶石石榴石二辉橄榄岩包体矿物成分资料,运用斜方辉石Ｃａ溶解度温度计和斜方辉石－石榴石Ａｌ分配压力计,计算了尖晶石—石榴石相转变带的温度和压力条件,首次获得了汉诺坝地区的新生代古地温曲线。尖晶石石榴石二辉辉石岩包体代表的温度范围为９３０～９７８℃,压力范围为１４２～１６５ＧＰａ：尖晶石石榴石二辉橄榄岩包体代表的温度范围为９９１～１１１０℃,压力范围为１５８～２１６ＧＰａ,与最新的实验结果基本吻合。地温曲线沿大洋地温曲线（曲线方程为ｔ＝２５２４＋８９７４７８ｐ－１８３０８ｐ２）上方近平行延伸。推测汉诺坝玄武岩的起源深度至少为７０ｋｍ。二辉辉石岩包体来自较冷的岩石圈,而二辉橄榄岩来自岩石圈与软流圈的过渡带,并且表明后者的地温梯度以对流热地温梯度为主。     

Genetic implications of Zn‐ and Mn‐rich Cr‐spinels in serpentinites of the Tidding Suture Zone,eastern Himalaya,NE India

Metamorphosed serpentinites of the Tidding Suture Zone (TSZ), eastern Himalaya, contain variably altered Cr‐spinels that are concentrically zoned from high‐Cr, low‐Fe³⁺ spinel at the core to Cr‐magnetite at the rim. Two types of Cr‐spinel have been recognized, based on back‐scattered electron imaging in conjunction with microprobe analytical profiles. Cr‐spinel type‐I is present in the least metamorphosed serpentinite (Cr# = 0.78–0.85, Mg# = 0.38–0.45) and Cr‐spinel type‐II is present in the most highly metamorphosed serpentinite (Cr# = 0.86–0.94, Mg# = 0.10–0.34). Primary igneous compositions are preserved in the type‐I chromites whereas these compositions have been partly or completely obscured by metamorphism and alteration in type‐II grains. The enrichment of Mn and Zn increases from the type‐I (MnO = 1.86–2.42 wt.%, ZnO = 0.77–1.67 wt.%) to type‐II (MnO = 2.72–4.04 wt.%, ZnO = 1.33–3.22 wt.%) and the strong similarity in their distribution patterns implies that these elements were introduced during low‐grade metamorphism and serpentinization. The abundance of Mg‐rich chlorite and serpentine minerals suggest that olivine was the predominant silicate phase before serpentinization. Zn and Mn enrichment in the core zone of the Cr‐spinel is due to the substitution of Mg²⁺ and in part of Fe²⁺, by Zn and Mn. These elements were probably supplied from olivine upon serpentinization during and after obduction of the ophiolitic mélange along the Tidding Suture Zone in the eastern Himalaya, NE India.
