橄榄石成分对东昆仑夏日哈木超大型镍钴矿床岩浆过程的约束

橄榄石是与镁铁-超镁铁质岩浆有关的铜镍硫化物矿床中最主要的造岩矿物之一，其成分记录了丰富的镍成矿信息，并可反映母岩浆成分组成、结晶分异过程及后期物质交换等。东昆仑夏日哈木镍钴矿床是全球铜镍硫化物矿床勘查20余年来最为重要的找矿发现之一，将逐步成为中国重要的镍钴资源基地。本文在大量镜下岩相学观察的基础上，对夏日哈木矿床橄榄石进行系统电子探针分析。分析数据表明，夏日哈木橄榄石Fo值为83.01~90.12；Ni含量为676×10-6 ~2845×10-6，Mn、Ca含量均较低，最大值分别为2457×10-6和650×10-6。“巨型”斜方辉石包裹的橄榄石成分自核心到边部Fo值和NiO含量均增高，表明含矿岩相形成时存在新鲜岩浆的补充，至少存在2次岩浆活动。橄榄石最高Fo值为90.12，反映夏日哈木镍钴矿床的母岩浆是Mg#值为0.73的高镁玄武质岩浆。硫饱和始于深部岩浆房母岩浆中少量橄榄石的结晶分异，早期熔离量较小，估算的橄榄石与硫化物熔体质量比大致为20：1。本次研究利用橄榄石成分约束了夏日哈木矿床岩浆的多期次活动，限定了母岩浆的成分性质与硫化物的熔离时机，可为矿床成因研究提供借鉴。     

A Textural Record of Solidification and Cooling in the Skaergaard Intrusion, East Greenland

The clinopyroxene–plagioclase–plagioclase dihedralangle, _cpp, in gabbroic cumulates records the time-integratedthermal history in the sub-solidus and provides a measure oftextural maturity. Variations in _cpp through the Layered Seriesof the Skaergaard intrusion, East Greenland, demonstrate thatthe onset of crystallization of clinopyroxene (within LZa),Fe–Ti oxides (at the base of LZc) and apatite (at thebase of UZb) as liquidus phases in the bulk magma is recordedby a stepwise increase in textural maturity, related to an increasein the contribution of latent heat to the total heat loss tothe surroundings and a reduction in the specific cooling rateat the crystallization front of the intrusion. The onset ofboth liquidus Fe–Ti oxide and apatite crystallizationis marked by a transient increase in textural maturity, probablylinked to overstepping before nucleation. Textural maturationat pyroxene–plagioclase–plagioclase triple junctionseffectively ceases in the uppermost parts of the Layered Seriesas a result of the entire pluton cooling below the closure temperaturefor dihedral angle change, which is 1075°C. Solidificationof the Layered Series of the Skaergaard intrusion occurred viathe upwards propagation of a mush zone only a few metres thick.

Granoblastic olivine aggregates in magnesian chondrules: Planetesimal fragments or thermally annealed solar nebula condensates?

Granoblastic olivine aggregates (GOA) have been discovered in some Type I magnesian chondrules within carbonaceous chondrites by Libourel and Krot [Libourel, G., Krot, A.N., 2007. Evidence for the presence of planetesimal material among the precursors of magnesian chondrules of nebular origin. Earth Planet. Sci. Lett. 254, 1–8], who proposed an origin from pre-existing planetesimals. Amoeboid olivine aggregates (AOA), generally considered as aggregates of solar nebula condensates and found within similar carbonaceous chondrites, display similar equilibrium texture, though on a finer scale. For these reasons, we conducted experiments to determine if annealing of olivine required time scales appropriate to planetesimal or nebular heating. Pressed < 43 µm and < 63 µm San Carlos olivine powder (Fo_88.4) was isothermally heated at temperatures ranging from 1350–1550 °C for 1–100 h. The 100 h runs yield olivine aggregates with well-developed granoblastic texture at all temperatures, manifest as a network of randomly-oriented and sutured olivine grains with 120° triple junctions. Individual olivine grains are 4–6 sided and polygonal by 1450 °C and equigranular texture is developed at high temperature (1500–1550 °C). Melting of olivine commences at 1450–1500 °C and aids in ‘ripening’ and suturing (grain coarsening and grain boundary migration). Textural equilibrium is clearly met at 1550 °C. A planetesimal origin cannot be ruled out; however, the experimental evidence reveals that granoblastic texture can be reproduced in an interval not inconsistent with heating times for nebular objects. GOA may have experienced higher degrees of thermal processing than the finer-grained AOA. If the precursors were the same, grain coarsening would have to be accompanied by modification to bulk and isotopic compositions. However, the precursors could have been olivine condensates formed later than AOA. Annealing may have been a widespread process operating in the primordial solar nebula responsible for thermal processing and formation of GOA prior to their incorporation into chondrules.     

Deformation, static recrystallization, and reactive melt transport in shallow subcontinental mantle xenoliths (Tok Cenozoic volcanic field, SE Siberia)

Partial melting and reactive melt transport may change the composition, microstructures, and physical properties of mantle rocks. Here we explore the relations between deformation and reactive melt transport through detailed microstructural analysis and crystallographic orientation measurements in spinel peridotite xenoliths that sample the shallow lithospheric mantle beneath the southeastern rim of the Siberian craton. These xenoliths have coarse-grained, annealed microstructures and show petrographic and chemical evidence for variable degrees of reaction with silicate melts and fluids, notably Fe-enrichment and crystallization of metasomatic clinopyroxene (cpx). Olivine crystal preferred orientations (CPO) range from strong to weak. [010]-fiber patterns, characterized by a point concentration of [010] normal to the foliation and by dispersion of [100] in the foliation plane with a weak maximum parallel to the lineation, predominate relative to the [100]-fiber patterns usually observed in lithospheric mantle xenoliths and peridotite massifs. Variations in olivine CPO patterns or intensity are not correlated with modal and chemical compositions. This, together with the analysis of microstructures, suggests that reactive melt percolation postdated both deformation and static recrystallization. Preferential crystallization of metasomatic cpx along (010) olivine grain boundaries points to an influence of the preexisting deformation fabrics on melt transport, with higher permeability along the foliation. Similarity between orthopyroxene (opx) and cpx CPO suggests that cpx orientations may be inherited from those of opx during melt-rock reaction. As observed in previous studies, reactive melt transport does not weaken olivine CPO and seismic anisotropy in the upper mantle, except in melt accumulation domains. In contrast, recovery and selective grain growth during static recrystallization may lead to development of [010]-fiber olivine CPO and, if foliations are horizontal, result in apparent isotropy for vertically propagating SKS waves, but strong anisotropy for horizontally propagating surface waves.

在６８０℃和５００ＭＰａ以及岩石学相平衡条件下,首次对方解石与镁橄榄石之间在大量超临界ＣＯ２－Ｈ２Ｏ流体存在的条件下进行了氧同位素交换实验。结果发现,在实验刚刚开始的一段时间内氧同位素交换很快,主要是以溶解／重结晶的机制进行的;而在以后的时间里氧同位素交换要慢得多,变成以扩散机制为主。进一步,反应产物方解石相对于镁橄榄石亏损＾１８Ｏ,指示方解石的溶解／重结晶速率大于镁橄榄石。流体相的存在导致具有不     

四川攀西地区层状侵入体中堆晶岩成因的矿物学约束

火成岩中可以包含多种晶体群这一发现具有重要意义,使得成因矿物学重新成为揭示岩浆系统演化的基本指导思想。但是,这种重要性在许多文献中都没有得到反映,其典型实例就是镁铁质层状侵入体中堆晶岩的成因。争论在于堆晶矿物是循环晶还是母岩浆的液相线相。因此,本文致力于探讨四川攀西地区镁铁质层状侵入体中堆晶岩的形成过程,重申成因矿物学的重要意义。显微镜观察表明,堆晶单斜辉石富含Fe-Ti氧化物出溶叶片(含叶片辉石),表明其形成环境明显不同于与斜长石呈共结关系的单斜辉石(无叶片辉石);无叶片辉石和斜长石中的橄榄石包裹体呈浑圆状,表明了橄榄石与结晶环境间的热力学不平衡。橄榄石与熔体间Fe-Mg分配关系分析表明,根据母岩浆成分推测的橄榄石Fo值远低于岩体中观测橄榄石化学成分变化范围(Fo₆₁-Fo₈₁)的高限,表明至少部分橄榄石不是寄主侵入体的液相线相。橄榄石的Mg^#值(100×Mg/(Mg+Fe))与微量元素(特别是Ni)的相关关系表明存在多种橄榄石晶体群,它们形成于不同的热力学环境中。晶体沉降过程分析表明,寄主岩浆析出的晶体几乎不可能发生快速重力沉降来形成堆晶岩。所有这些证据都表明,形成堆晶岩的矿物主要来自岩浆系统深部不同的岩浆房中,是被岩浆携带输运到终端岩浆房的循环晶。     

辽南斑状金伯利岩岩相学特征及其成因研究

辽南金伯利岩岩区是我国最大的原生金刚石矿产区,该区金刚石主要寄主岩石类型为斑状金伯利岩。橄榄石是金伯利岩中最重要的造岩矿物,根据其结构特征可以分为橄榄石粗晶、橄榄石斑晶以及基质中微细粒三个世代。本文将岩相学特征和前人研究成果相结合,构建辽南斑状金伯利岩岩浆起源、上升、喷发和成岩模型,探讨各世代矿物的形成过程。具体包括：深部交代地幔部分熔融,形成初始碳酸盐岩浆;初始岩浆上升过程中捕获的岩石圈地幔橄榄岩不断溶解(形成橄榄石粗晶),岩浆成分发生改变,成为金伯利岩岩浆;金伯利岩岩浆迅速上升侵位,至地表处爆破喷发,最后冷却固结形成包含粗晶及其他两个世代橄榄石的斑状金伯利岩。     

沙坪沟钼矿区橄榄角闪石岩岩石成因——矿物学特征约束

对位于秦岭-大别造山带的沙坪沟钼矿矿区出露的橄榄角闪石岩开展了系统的岩石学、岩相学及电子探针原位分析,厘定了其成岩物理化学条件,并探讨了岩石成因及形成的构造环境。橄榄角闪石岩主要造岩矿物为橄榄石、角闪石、金云母和辉石;副矿物为磷灰石、铬铁尖晶石、镁铁尖晶石、磁铁矿、磁黄铁矿、镍黄铁矿等。电子探针原位分析结果显示,橄榄石属于贵橄榄石系列,角闪石主要是韭闪石,辉石为透辉石,云母为金云母。造岩矿物结晶顺序为橄榄石-辉石-角闪石,结晶温度介于1 111. 64～1 223. 30℃之间,形成压力为350～740 MPa,形成于较高的氧逸度环境(角闪石结晶时的氧逸度范围为NNO+0. 59～NNO+2. 27)。角闪石和金云母的矿物学特征显示它们均是与幔源岩浆作用相关的原生矿物,表明该套基性-超基性岩与幔源岩浆作用有关。综合分析认为,在大别造山带中生代地壳减薄的伸展构造背景下,该橄榄角闪石岩母岩浆源于地幔,是经过地幔7. 92%部分熔融的玄武质岩浆经结晶分异作用形成的幔源岩浆底侵下地壳的产物。     

Experimental investigation of phase transformations of olivine and enstatite at the lower part of the mantle transition zone: Implications for structure of the 660 km seismic discontinuity

High-pressure polymorphs of olivine and enstatite are major constituent minerals in the mantle transition zone(MTZ).The phase transformations of olivine and enstatite at pressure and temperature conditions corresponding to the lower part of the MTZ are import for understanding the nature of the 660 km seismic discontinuity.In this study,we determine phase transformations of olivine(MgSi2O4) and enstatite(MgSiO3) systematiclly at pressures between 21.3 and 24.4 GPa and at a constant temperature of 1600℃.The most profound discrepancy between olivine and enstatite phase transformation is the occurency of perovskite.In the olivine system,the post-spinel transformation occures at 23.8 GPa,corresponding to a depth of 660 km.In contrast,perovskite appears at 23 GPa(640 km) in the enstatite system.The ~1 GPa gap could explain the uplifting and/or splitting of the 660 km seismic discountinuity under eastern China.
