Abstract
Mantle peridotites, rocks from the lower part of the ophiolite complex, were studied on the Kamchatsky Mys Peninsula (eastern Kamchatka). Cu and Ni sulfides, native copper, awaruite, and microinclusions of (Cu?)Pd5In2 were described in fresh (non-serpentinized) harzburgites. The structure and composition of the studied rocks support a primary (mantle) origin for the sulfides. Native phases formed by the reduction of metals from sulfides during the percolation of free hydrogen through the rocks. Hydrogen was released during serpentinization of mantle peridotites in the underlying slabs. The presence of a sulfide phase in the Kamchatsky Mys mantle peridotites may be related to their origin in a mantle plume-influenced environment.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Volcanology and Seismology publishes theoretical and experimental studies, communications, and reports on volcanic, seismic, geodynamic, and magmatic processes occurring in the areas of island arcs and other active regions of the Earth. In particular, the journal looks at present-day land and submarine volcanic activity; Neogene–Quaternary volcanism; mechanisms of plutonic activity; the geochemistry of volcanic and postvolcanic processes; geothermal systems in volcanic regions; and seismological monitoring. In addition, the journal surveys earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and techniques for predicting them.
