福建明溪大洋窠幔源包体橄榄石的位错结构特征

本文介绍了采用透射电子显微镜观察研究福建明溪大洋窠上第三系玻基玄武岩中的包体橄榄石的位错结构。研究表明,该地幔源包体橄榄石中存在位错壁、自由位错、位错弓弯和位错环等,它们是该橄榄石在上地幔的高温低应力条件下发生复杂蠕变的产物。根据该地包体橄榄石中自由位错密度(统计值为2.0×10~8cm~(-2)和共生辉石的化学成分,估算出福建明溪大洋窠玻基玄武岩中幔源包体的变形条件为:温度(T)为1070℃;压力(P)为2480MPa;深度(Z)为79.3km;流变应力(σ_1-σ_3)为136MPa;流变速率(ε)为7.6×10~(-13)s~(-1);粘稠度(η)为0.8×10~(20)poise。     

Mineralogy and petrology of Al-rich objects and amoeboid olivine aggregates in the CH carbonaceous chondrite North West Africa 739

The aluminum-rich (>10 wt% Al₂O₃) objects in the CH carbonaceous chondrite North West Africa (NWA) 739 include Ca,Al-rich inclusions (CAIs), Al-rich chondrules, and isolated mineral grains (spinel, plagioclase, glass). Based on the major mineralogy, 54 refractory inclusions found in about 1 cm² polished section of NWA 739 can be divided into hibonite-rich (16%), grossite-rich (26%), melilite-rich (28%), spinel-pyroxene-rich (16%) CAIs, and amoeboid olivine aggregates, (AOA's, 17%). Most CAIs are rounded, 25–185 μm (average=70 μm) in apparent diameter, contain abundant, tiny perovskite grains, and typically surrounded by a single- or double-layered rim composed of melilite and/or Al-diopside; occasionally, layers of spinel+hibonite and forsterite are observed. The AOAs are irregularly shaped, 100–250 μm (average=175 μm) in size, and consist of forsterite, Fe,Ni-metal, and CAIs composed of Al-diopside, anorthite, and minor spinel. One AOA contains compact, rounded melilite-spinel-perovskite CAIs and low-Ca pyroxene replacing forsterite. The Al-rich (>10 wt% bulk Al₂O₃) chondrules are divided into Al-diopside-rich and plagioclase-rich. The Al-diopside-rich chondrules, 50–310 μm (average=165 μm) in apparent diameter, consist of Al-diopside, skeletal forsterite, spinel, ±Al-rich low-Ca pyroxene, and ±mesostasis. The plagioclase-rich chondrules, 120–455 μm (average=285 μm) in apparent diameter, are composed of low-Ca and high-Ca pyroxenes, forsterite, anorthitic plagioclase, Fe,Ni-metal nodules, and mesostasis. The isolated spinel occurs as coarse, 50–125 μm in size, subhedral grains, which are probably the fragments of Al-diopside chondrules. The isolated plagioclase grains are too coarse (60–120 μm) to have been produced by disintegration of chondrules or CAIs; they range in composition from nearly pure anorthite to nearly pure albite; their origin is unclear. The Al-rich objects show no evidence for Fe-alkali metasomatic or aqueous alteration; the only exception is an Al-rich chondrule fragment with anorthite replaced by nepheline. They are texturally and mineralogically similar to those in other CH chondrites studied (Acfer 182, ALH85085, PAT91467, NWA 770), but are distinct from the Al-rich objects in other chondrite groups (CM, CO, CR, CV). The CH CAIs are dominated by very refractory minerals, such as hibonite, grossite, perovskite and gehlenitic melilite, and appear to have experienced very low degrees of high-temperature alteration reactions. These include replacement of grossite by melilite, of melilite by anorthite, diopside, and spinel, and of forsterite by low-Ca pyroxene. Only a few CAIs show evidence for melting and multilayered Wark-Lovering rims. These observations may suggest that CH CAIs experienced rather simple formation history and escaped extensive recycling. In order to preserve the high-temperature mineral assemblages, they must have been efficiently isolated from the hot nebular region, like some chondrules and the zoned Fe,Ni-metal grains in CH chondrites.     

Prospects of search for diamondiferous kimberlites in the northeastern Siberian Platform

The objects of study are Triassic hypabyssal diamondiferous kimberlites with an age of 220-245 Ma, containing macrocrysts of unaltered olivine. The latter are close in the time of formation to the main stage of intrusion of the Siberian Trap Province (252 Ma), which lasted less than 1 Myr. A comparative high-precision analytical study of the Ti, Ca, Cr, and Al impurity patterns in about 1000 olivine macrocryst samples with a forsterite content Fo = (100Mg/(Mg + Fe)) of 78 to 93 has demonstrated the effect of traps on the lithospheric composition. A comprehensive comparative study of diamonds from northern placers and Triassic kimberlites, including determination of their carbon isotope composition, was performed. Chromatography-mass-spectroscopic analysis of submicron fluid inclusions in diamonds from northern placers and kimberlites has shown predominant hydrocarbons of a wide range of compositions and subordinate contents of N₂, H₂O, and CO₂. These findings, together with the results of previous studies of subcalcic Cr-pyropes and diamonds found in the Lower Carboniferous gritstones of the Kyutyungde graben, lead to the conclusion that the Toluopka kimberlite field is promising for Paleozoic kimberlites. The results of comprehensive studies of diamonds and indicator minerals and U/Pb isotope dating of numerous detrital zircon samples from the basal horizon of the Carnian Stage (Upper Triassic) of the Bulkur site in the lower reaches of the Lena River suggest the presence of diamondiferous kimberlites within the northeastern Siberian Platform. The age of the probable primary diamond sources in the study area can be evaluated by an integrated U/Pb isotope dating of zircons, perovskites, and rutiles from the developed diamond placers and the basal horizon of the Carnian Stage.     

Extremely magnesian olivine in igneous rocks

Published data on extremely magnesian olivine (> 96 mol.% forsterite) in igneous rocks were generalized and compared with data of new high-precision electron probe microanalyses of olivine from oxidized lavas of the Tolbachik Volcano (Kamchatka), chromitites from the Ray-Iz deposit (Russia), alkaline ultrabasic lavas from San Venanzo volcanoes (Italy), and skarns from the Kuh-i-Lal deposit (Tajikistan). All the found olivines resulted from low-temperature processes, such as subsurface oxidation, interaction with carbonates, and subsolidus re-equilibration. Low-temperature formation of olivine is reflected in its structure (hematite lamellae and abundance of inclusions of ore minerals) and abnormal contents of minor components (Mn, Ni, and Ca). The Mg content of olivine increases under the influence of postmagmatic processes and can be manifested in different rocks. This gives grounds to refine the genesis of olivine of exotic composition (93-96 mol.% forsterite) in some kimberlites, komatiites, and peridotites.     

东昆仑希望沟橄榄辉长岩的岩石成因：地球化学、锆石U-Pb年龄与Hf同位素制约

东昆仑古特提斯域镁铁-超镁铁质岩石的研究极为薄弱,文章报道了青海东昆仑东段希望沟橄榄辉长岩的岩相学、锆石U-Pb年代学、岩石地球化学及锆石Hf同位素资料,以确定该岩体的形成时代、岩石成因及构造环境,为东昆仑晚古生代—早中生代构造岩浆演化提供新的约束。岩石地球化学研究表明,希望沟橄榄辉长岩具有低SiO2(40.91%~42.14%)、低TiO2(0.29%~0.39%)、高MgO(28.18%~30.66%)、贫碱(K2O+Na2O=1.09%~1.36%)的特征,属亚碱性系列岩石,m/f比值介于5.03~5.39,属于铁质超基性岩类。岩石微量元素总体上富集大离子亲石元素(Rb、Th、U、K)和Pb,相对亏损高场强元素(Nb、P、Ti),ΣREE为28.17×10^-6~30.95×10^-6,(La/Yb)N为3.77~4.98,显示轻稀土富集的特征,δEu=0.80~0.95,具有弱的Eu负异常。利用LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb定年技术,获得橄榄辉长岩加权平均年龄为(264.9±1.2)Ma(n=26,MSWD=0.71),属中二叠世。锆石176Hf/177Hf比值为0.282709~0.283152,对应的εHf(t)=3.7~19.3,锆石单阶段Hf模式年龄TDM为135~753 Ma,平均为414 Ma,大于锆石U-Pb年龄。研究认为,橄榄辉长岩的岩浆源区主要为亏损地幔,可能有早期流体交代的岩石圈地幔组分的加入,并经历了地壳物质的混染。结合东昆仑区域构造演化,认为希望沟橄榄辉长岩是阿尼玛卿古特提斯洋俯冲阶段的产物,说明古特提斯洋在中二叠世已北向俯冲。     

徐州白露山含金刚石橄榄玄武岩地球化学特征及其岩浆演化特征

江苏徐州地区位于华北克拉通的东南部,其区内及周边广泛发育碱性超基性岩-基性岩,其中不乏含金刚石母岩,但是主要为金伯利岩。笔者在苏北寻找金刚石原生矿的过程中,在徐州白露山地区发现了含金刚石的橄榄玄武岩。本区橄榄玄武岩SiO₂含量为42.64%~51.13%,K₂O+Na₂O为2.57%~5.93%,Al₂O₃为10.48%~13.53%,MgO含量变化范围较大,为3.11%~19.34%。以主量元素做TAS图解可以看出本区基性岩的投影点基本都落于玄武岩范围,属于高钾钙碱性。微量元素特征显示白露山的样品靠近OIB和火山弧区域。富集端元明显偏高的Ba/Th比值暗示玄武岩中含有大陆下地壳物质。而白露山橄榄玄武岩元素地球化学特征及组成变化范围大并不是主要由地壳混染引起的,而是因为源区含有残留的再循环大陆下地壳。这些地球化学特征说明徐州白露山橄榄玄武岩与辽宁、山东地区金伯利岩具有一定的成因联系,为该区金刚石找矿提供了有利线索。     

Electron Microprobe/SIMS Determinations of Al in Olivine: Applications to Solar Wind,Pallasites and Trace Element Measurements

Electron probe microanalyser measurements of trace elements with high accuracy are challenging. Accurate Al measurements in olivine are required to calibrate SIMS implant reference materials for measurement of Al in the solar wind. We adopt a combined EPMA/SIMS approach that is useful for producing SIMS reference materials as well as for EPMA at the ~ 100 µg g^?1 level. Even for mounts not polished with alumina photoelectron spectroscopy shows high levels of Al surface contamination. In order to minimise electron beam current density, a rastered 50 × 100 µm electron beam was adequate and minimised sensitivity to small Al‐rich contaminants. Reproducible analyses of eleven SIMS‐cleaned spots on San Carlos olivine agreed at 69.3 ± 1.0 µg g^?1. The known Al mass fraction was used to calibrate an Al implant into San Carlos. Accurate measurements of Al were made for olivines in the pallasites: Imilac, Eagle Station and Springwater. Our focus was on Al in olivine, but our technique could be refined to give accurate electron probe measurements for other contamination‐sensitive trace elements. For solar wind, it is projected that the Al/Mg abundance ratio can be determined to 6%, a factor of 2 more precise than the solar spectroscopic ratio.     

金川岩浆铜镍（铂）硫化物矿床中两类橄榄石的发现及其成矿意义

金川铜镍硫化物矿床是世界第三大岩浆型铜镍硫化物矿床,其成因机制一直备受争议。主要成矿模型有以下两种:(1)岩浆通道堆积模型;(2)深部熔离-多次贯入模型。目前,二者均不能较好解释矿区中存在的各种地质现象。本文重点研究矿区橄榄石的特征,借此来探讨"硫化物矿浆"的迁移方式与侵位能力。本次研究在金川矿床中发现了两类橄榄石:LREE亏损型(Ⅰ型)与LREE富集型(Ⅱ型)。其中,Ⅰ型橄榄石为岩浆正常结晶的原始颗粒,常见复杂的成分环带,由原生橄榄石与晶间硅酸盐熔体/不混溶硫化物熔体发生物质交换所形成,继承了玄武质岩浆稀土含量低的特征,广泛分布于各类超基性岩石与矿石中;Ⅱ型橄榄石常见包裹斜方辉石的反序列包含关系,以稀土含量高(～2个数量级)且相对富Mg而显著区别于前者,为辉石堆晶颗粒经流体触发不一致熔融后再结晶形成的橄榄石,多见于硫化物矿石中。金川矿床硫化物矿石中广泛发育的原生富Cl含水矿物(金云母、角闪石、磷灰石)与Ⅰ型橄榄石边部活动性元素含量的剧增,暗示金川矿体形成过程受富Cl流体影响显著。实验岩石学与动力学模拟的新研究进展表明流体的加入可有效推动高密度硫化物的迁移,流体的加入可能是金川硫化物矿浆上侵运移的主要机制。结合硫化物Cu/Ni西高东低的空间演化规律,橄榄石Fo值西高东低的空间变化趋势与晶体粒度西细东粗的分布特征可以推测,金川铜镍硫化物矿床岩浆通道的前进方向为自西向东。
