Clinopyroxene REE Geochemistry of the Red Hills Peridotite, New Zealand: Interpretation of Magmatic Processes in the Upper Mantle and in the Moho Transition Zone

The Red Hills peridotite in the Dun Mountain ophiolite of SouthIsland, New Zealand, is assumed to have been produced in a paleo-mid-oceanridge tectonic setting. The peridotite is composed mostly ofharzburgite and dunite, which represent residual mantle andthe Moho transition zone (MTZ), respectively. Dunite channelswithin harzburgite blocks of various scales represent the MTZcomponent. Plagioclase- and clinopyroxene-bearing dunites occursporadically within common dunites. These dunites representproducts of melt–wall-rock interaction. Chondrite-normalizedrare earth element (REE) patterns of MTZ clinopyroxenes showa wide compositional range. Clinopyroxenes in plagioclase dunitesare extremely depleted in light REE (LREE) ([Lu/La]_N >100),and are comparable with clinopyroxenes in abyssal peridotitesfrom normal mid-ocean ridges. Interstitial clinopyroxenes inthe common dunite have flatter patterns ([Lu/La]_N 2) comparablewith those for dunite in the Oman ophiolite. Clinopyroxenesin the lower part of the residual mantle harzburgites are evenmore strongly depleted in LREE ([Lu/La]_N = 100–1000) thanare mid-ocean ridge peridotites, and rival the most depletedabyssal clinopyroxenes reported from the Bouvet hotspot. Incontrast, those in the uppermost residual mantle harzburgiteand harzburgite blocks in the MTZ are less LREE depleted ([Lu/La]_N= 10–100), and are similar to those in plagioclase dunite.Clinopyroxenes in the clinopyroxene dunite in the MTZ are similarto those reported from mid-ocean ridge basalt (MORB) cumulates,and clinopyroxenes in the gabbroic rocks have compositions similarto those reported from MORB. Strong LREE and middle REE (MREE)depletion in clinopyroxenes in the harzburgite suggests thatthe harzburgites are residues of two-stage fractional melting,which operated initially in the garnet field, and subsequentlycontinued in the spinel lherzolite field. The early stage meltingproduced the depleted harzburgite. The later stage melting wasresponsible for the gabbroic rocks and dunite. Strongly LREE–MREE-depletedclinopyroxene in the lower harzburgite and HREE-enriched clinopyroxenein the upper harzburgite and plagioclase dunite were formedby later reactive melt migration occurring in the harzburgite.

白云鄂博碳酸岩脉的显微共聚焦激光拉曼光谱分析

白云鄂博矿区发育的脉状稀土碳酸岩，由于其结晶迅速，矿物颗粒细微，其中的微小矿物的鉴定一直是一个难题。应用显微共聚焦激光拉曼光谱仪则能较好地解决这一问题。研究表明，白云鄂博地区存在富稀土白云质岩浆碳酸岩脉，早期阶段形成碱性长石和铁白云石，无稀土矿化；铁白云石常常出溶铁质而自身则形成方解石。霓石和方解石形成略晚，常常与氟碳铈矿等稀土矿物共生，出现强烈的稀土矿化；而无解理的方解石则形成于更晚的岩浆期后热液阶段，发育大量的流体包裹体，并出现强烈的铌、稀土矿化。铌铁矿分布在氟碳铈矿中和赤铁矿边缘，为热液交代作用的产物。早期结晶的矿物如碱性长石、铁白云石稀土矿化弱，岩浆晚期分异出大量的流体相，稀土元素和Sr等进入岩浆热液中，并在热液结晶矿物中富集，甚至在非平衡结晶的石英中产生强烈的稀土矿化。结合岩相学显微观察，显微拉曼探针很好的揭示了这一地质过程。同时为白云鄂博矿床铌、稀土矿化的热液交代成因提供了依据。

齐大山铁矿大地构造上属于华北地台辽东台背斜的西部.其铁矿层产于鞍山群樱桃园岩组,含矿建造为砂质泥岩-泥岩建造（阿尔戈马型）,变质相为绿片岩相.通过稀土元素地球化学研究,铁矿石表现为轻稀土富集,LREE/HREE比值平均为3.43.围岩表现为重稀土略富集,LREE/HREE比值平均为0.97.铁矿石和围岩稀土元素原始地幔标准化值显示铁矿石稀土元素整体具有弱的正铕异常（δEu为1.03~1.50）,Ce无明显的正负异常（δCe为0.54~1.15）,这与海底喷气沉积产物的特征一致.围岩中无明显Eu异常,平均为1.16.δCe的范围为0.18~1.01,相对比较稳定.这些特征显示属于早前寒武纪海洋化学沉积的产物,表明矿物大地构造背景为大洋岛弧,物源区类型为未切割的岩浆弧.     

高硒环境样品中硒的形态分析方法

在恩施富硒碳质岩和土壤样品中硒矿物学研究的基础上,提出了硒连续化学提取的改进方案。化学操作上定义为7个连续步骤:水溶态(MQ水提取)、可交换态(0.1 mol/L的K2HPO4 KH2PO4,pH=7.0)、有机结合态(0.1 mol/L NaOH)、元素态(1 mol/L Na2SO3溶液)、酸溶性提取态(15%CH3CO2H溶液)、硫化物/硒化物态(1 mol/L CrCl2 HCl溶液)和残渣态硒(HNO3 HF H2O2混合消化液)。使用HG-AFS法检测了各结合态中的硒形态和总硒,上述流程提取硒加和与总硒间显著一致,平均回收率为99.2%,符合平行样品间变异系数低于10%的精度要求。该方法简单易行,能够准确地揭示富硒地质样品中硒的形态信息。
