Temperature-jump induced cation exchange kinetics in (Co<Subscript>0.1</Subscript>Mg<Subscript>0.9</Subscript>)<Subscript>2</Subscript>SiO<Subscript>4</Subscript> olivine: an in situ optical spectroscopic study

In the olivine crystal structure, cations are distributed over two inequivalent octahedral sites, M1 and M2. Kinetics of cation exchange between the two octahedral sites in (Co_0.1Mg_0.9)₂SiO₄ single crystal have been studied in the temperature range from 600 to 800°C by monitoring the time evolution of the absorbance of Co²⁺ ions in M1 or M2 sites using optical spectroscopy after rapid temperature jumps. It was found from such temperature-jump induced relaxation experiments that with increasing temperature the absorbance of Co²⁺ ions in the M1 site decreases while that in the M2 site increases. This indicates a tendency of Co²⁺ cations to populate the M2 site with increasing temperatures and vice versa. The experimental relaxation data can be modeled using a triple exponential equation based on theoretical analysis. Activation energies of 221 ± 4 and 213 ± 10 kJ/mol were derived from relaxation experiments on the M2 site and M1 site, respectively, for the cation exchange processes in (Co_0.1Mg_0.9)₂SiO₄ olivine. Implications for cation diffusion at low temperatures are discussed.     

俄罗斯贝加尔裂谷带中呼兰霍博克火山岩岩石学及地球化学研究

位于贝加尔裂谷带通京盆地中的呼兰霍博克火山火山锥由火山弹、火山灰等火山碎屑岩和基性熔岩(橄榄玄武岩)组成.橄榄玄武岩中橄榄石可分为具有较高Mg#值的捕虏晶和Mg#值相对较低的斑晶.部分斜长石斑晶具有核.幔.边结构,且幔部发生减压分解,一些单斜辉石晶体(俘虏晶)边部发生了减压分解.根据岩石的化学成分,该玄武岩属于橄榄粗玄岩系列,轻稀土强烈富集,重稀土相对亏损,轻重稀土之间分异较大,具有与OIB相似的微量元素和同位素地球化学特征.岩石学和元素地球化学研究表明,该橄榄玄武岩的源区和岩浆的形成可能与地幔柱活动有关;岩浆演化经历了压力骤减的过程,在岩浆快速上升过程中,深部形成的矿物(可能是地幔矿物的俘虏晶)减压分解.快速上升的岩浆几乎未受大陆地壳的混染,仅捕获了少量流纹质熔体.     

南海新生代碱性玄武岩中橄榄石的矿物化学及南海的地幔潜在温度

南海新生代玄武岩中橄榄石斑晶颗粒相对较小(0.2～0.6mm),自形-半自形,有熔蚀现象,不具橄榄石捕虏晶所特有环状裂隙、变形结构。基质中橄榄石微晶粒径0.01～0.05mm,多数已完全伊丁石化。早期结晶出来的橄榄石并未受到重力分异的影响,而被寄主岩浆携带继续向地表运移,在此上升过程中与寄主岩浆发生了有限的相互作用,少数橄榄石颗粒保留有弱成分分带现象。利用呈弱成分分带现象的橄榄石斑晶的核、幔部的Fo组分与寄主岩浆的X_(Fe)值对南海底潜在地幔温度进行了估算,结果表明南海的潜在地幔温度平均值为1661℃,位于典型热点的地区夏威夷(1688℃)和冰岛(1637℃)之间,南海的潜在地幔温度与正常洋中脊地幔潜在温度之间的差值(186℃～208℃)也位于夏威夷(213℃～235℃)和冰岛地区(162℃～184℃)之间,表明南海地区下的地幔可能存在热量异常,支持了根据地球物理学和岩石地球化学的信息所提出的南海地区存在地幔柱的观点。     

Recrystallisation,phase mixing and strain localisation in peridotite during rapid extrusion of sub-arc mantle lithosphere

The Anita Peridotite, in southwestern New Zealand, is a ∼1 × 20 km ultramafic massif that was rapidly extruded from beneath a Cretaceous arc within the 4 km wide mylonitic Anita Shear Zone. The peridotitic body contains a spectacular array of textures that preserve evidence for changing temperature, stress, and deformation mechanisms during the exhumation process. Olivine and orthopyroxene microstructures and lattice-preferred orientations (LPO) record a three-phase deformation history. Dislocation glide on the C- and E-type slip systems is recorded by coarse pre-mylonitised olivine grains, and occurred under hydrous conditions at T ∼650 °C, stress ∼200–700 MPa and strain rate ∼10⁻¹⁵ s⁻¹, probably within hydrated sub-arc mantle lithosphere. Rare protomylonite pods record deformation by dislocation creep in porphyroclasts and dislocation-accommodated grain boundary sliding in the matrix on {0kl}[100] in olivine and (100)[001] in orthopyroxene, under conditions of T ∼730–770 °C, stress ∼52–700 MPa and strain rate ∼10⁻¹⁵ s⁻¹. The massif, however, is dominated by mylonite and ultramylonite that wrap the protomylonite pods, comprising mostly fine-grained olivine neoblasts that lack internal distortions and have uniform LPOs. These textures indicate deformation occurred by grain-size sensitive (GSS) creep at T ∼650 °C, stress ∼69–137 MPa and strain rate ∼10⁻¹⁵ s⁻¹, and thus during conditions of cooling and decreasing stress. GSS creep became more dominant with time, as the proportion of randomly-oriented neoblasts increased and formed interlinked networks that accommodated much of the strain. Grain boundary pinning allowed GSS creep to be maintained in polyphase regions, following mixing of olivine and orthopyroxene, which may have occurred by grain boundary transport in a fluid phase during a “creep cavitation” process. The results indicate that the Anita Peridotite recrystallised and underwent rheological weakening at a constant strain rate, with strain distributed across the entire section. This widespread deformation caused rapid exhumation of the peridotite from the lithospheric mantle into the overlying arc crust. The massif therefore records multiple overprinting phases of deformation under mantle and crustal conditions associated with the rapid exhumation of a large orogenic peridotite.     

Multi-technique investigation reveals new mineral, chemical, and textural heterogeneity in the Tagish Lake C2 chondrite

The Tagish Lake meteorite, an ungrouped C2 chondrite that is related to CI and CM chondrites, is a heterogeneous accretionary breccia with several distinct lithologies that, in bulk, are thought to represent the first known sample of a primitive carbonaceous D-type asteroid. Textural and chemical zoning of clasts and matrix have been little studied and promise additional insight into early solar system processes in both the solar nebula and on the Tagish Lake parent asteroid. We have examined an intact 2.9 g fragment and two polished thin sections from the spring 2000 (non-pristine) Tagish Lake collection to ascertain the major mineralogy and textures of notable features such as chondrules, amoeboid olivine aggregates (AOAs), inclusions, clasts, matrix, and fusion crust. We designed three stages of analysis for this friable meteorite: an initial, non-destructive in situ reconnaissance by μXRD to document meteorite mineralogy and textures and to identify features of interest, followed by spatially correlated μXRD, SEM-EDX and colour SEM-CL analysis of polished thin sections to fully understand mineralogy and the record of texture development, and finally higher resolution SEM-BSE mapping to document smaller scale relationships.Our analyses reveal several previously unreported or poorly characterized features: (1) distinctive colour cathodoluminescence (CL) zoning in relict CAI spinel, in chondrule and AOA forsterite, and in calcite nodules occurring throughout the Tagish Lake matrix. Forsterite frequently shows CL colour and intensity zonation that does not correspond with major or minor element differences resolvable with EPMA, indicating a trace element and/or structural CL-activation mechanism for the zonation that is likely of secondary origin; (2) an irregular inclusion dominated by magnesioaluminate spinel, dolomite, and phyllosilicates with traces of a Ca, Ti oxide phase (likely perovskite) interpreted to be a relict CAI; (3) variable preservation of mesostasis glass in porphyritic olivine chondrules. We anticipate that our multi-technique methodology, particularly non-destructive μXRD, can be successfully applied to other rare and friable materials such as the pristine Tagish Lake fragments.

The origin of medium-K ankaramitic arc magmas from Lombok (Sunda arc, Indonesia): Mineral and melt inclusion evidence

High-calcium, nepheline-normative ankaramitic basalts (MgO > 10 wt.%, CaO/Al₂O₃ > 1) from Rinjani volcano, Lombok (Sunda arc, Indonesia) contain phenocrysts of clinopyroxene and olivine (Fo_85–92) with inclusions of spinel (Cr# 58–77) and crystallised melt. Olivine crystals have variable but on average low NiO (0.10–0.23 wt.%) and high CaO (0.22–0.35 wt.%) contents for their forsterite number. The CaO content of Fo_89–91 olivine is negatively correlated with the Al₂O₃ content of enclosed spinel (9–15 wt.%) and positively correlated with the CaO/Al₂O₃ ratios of melt inclusions (0.9–1.5). Major and trace element patterns of melt inclusions are similar to that of the host rock, indicating that the magma could have formed by accumulation of small batches of melt, with compositions similar to the melt inclusions. The liquidus temperature of the magma was  1275 °C, and its oxygen fugacity ≤ FMQ + 2.5. Correlations between K₂O, Zr, Th and LREE in the melt inclusions are interpreted to reflect variable degrees of melting of the source; correlations between Al₂O₃, Na₂O, Y and HREE are influenced by variations in the mineralogy of the source. The melts probably formed from a water-poor, clinopyroxene-rich mantle source.     

Origin and emplacement of ultramafic–mafic intrusions in the Erro-Tobbio mantle peridotite (Ligurian Alps, Italy)

The Erro-Tobbio peridotites (Voltri Massif, Ligurian Alps) represent subcontinental lithospheric mantle tectonically exhumed during Permo–Mesozoic extension of the Europe–Adria lithosphere. Previous studies have shown that exhumation started during Permian times, and occurred along kilometer-scale lithospheric shear zones which enhanced progressive deformation and recrystallization from spinel- to plagioclase-facies conditions. Ongoing field and petrologic investigations have revealed that the peridotites experienced, during uplift, a composite history of diffuse melt migration and multiple episodes of ultramafic–mafic intrusions. In this paper we present the results of field, structural and petrologic–geochemical investigations into a sector of the Erro-Tobbio peridotite unit that preserves well this multiple intrusion history. Melt impregnation in the peridotites is evidenced by significant plagioclase enrichment and crystallization of unstrained orthopyroxene replacing kinked mantle olivine and clinopyroxene; impregnating melts were thus opx-saturated. Melt–rock interaction caused chemical changes in mantle minerals (e.g. Al decrease and REE increase in cpx; Ti and Cr# enrichment in spinel). Nevertheless, clinopyroxenes still exhibit LREE depletion (Ce_N/Sm_N = 0.006–0.011), indicating a depleted signature for the percolating melts. Melt impregnation was thus related to diffuse porous flow migration of depleted MORB-type melt fractions that modified their compositions towards opx saturation by mantle–melt interaction during ascent. The impregnated peridotites are intruded by a hectometer-scale stratified cumulate body, mostly consisting of troctolites and plagioclase wehrlites, showing gradational, interfingered contacts with the host mantle rocks. Subsequent intrusion events are revealed by the occurrence of olivine gabbros as decameter-wide lenses, variably thick (centimeter- to meter-scale) dykes and thin dykelets, which crosscut both the peridotite foliation and the magmatic layering in the cumulates. Overall, major and trace element compositions of minerals in the intrusives indicate that they represent variably differentiated cumulus products crystallized from rather primitive N-MORB-type aggregated melts. Slightly more evolved compositions are shown by olivine gabbros, relative to the troctolites and plagioclase wehrlites of the cumulate body. Mineral chemistry features (e.g. the Fo–An correlation and high Na, Ti, Mg# in cpx) indicate that the studied intrusive rocks crystallized at moderate pressure conditions (3–5 kbar, i.e. 9–15 km depth). Our study thus points to a progressive transition from porous flow melt migration to emplacement of magmas in fractures, presumably related to progressive change of lithospheric mantle rheology during extension-related uplift and cooling.     

华北东部新生代玄武岩中橄榄岩捕虏体的流体及稀有气体组成研究

应用热爆裂质谱测量和高温熔融样品释气技术分别测定了山旺、栖霞和鹤壁新生代玄武岩中橄榄岩捕虏体中的橄榄石颗粒的流体和稀有气体组成。结果表明,鹤壁方辉橄榄岩具低于大气的~3He/~4He 比值0.778Ra 和大气成因的 Ne、Ar、Kr、Xe 组成。三个地区饱满地幔样品均以还原性流体为主,CO_2/~3He、N_2/~3He、N_2/Ar 比值分别为(0.62～4144)×10~9、(2631～64482)×10~6、269～73467。这些还原型流体偏离典型的幔源流体组成而表现出明显的碳和氮元素过剩,具有大气-地幔-壳源组份混合的特点,反映了大气和富含有机质的壳源组份在新生岩石圈上地幔中的影响。同时,这些饱满地幔样品的 Ne、Ar、Kr、Xe 具有大气属性,反映了大气型稀有气体在上地幔源区的广泛混染。其中,山旺和栖霞的~3He/~4He 比值分别为(2.91～3.07)Ra、(1.79～4.01)Ra,均高于大气低于 MORB,具有交代富集地幔的特点,而鹤壁则具有类似 MORB 的~3He/~4He 比值(7.03～7.05)Ra。这样的流体和稀有气体组成差别显示华北东部新生岩石圈地幔具亏损 MORB 型的特点并含壳源组份, 且其东缘所含壳源组份比例高于中部,说明华北东部新生岩石圈地幔中有俯冲洋壳组份的记录。
