The presence of recycled terrigenous sediments in upwelling plumes has been cited to explain the EM2 signature in ocean island volcanics, characterized by particularly high 87Sr/86Sr (>0.706). However, the origin of such isotopic anomalies in continental regions and the role of subducted sediments in the subcontinental lithospheric mantle (SCLM) remain unclear. The Himalaya–Tibet orogen is one of the world’s best places for deciphering continental subduction and the fate of subducted crustal materials in the mantle. Here we present a systematic study of the geochronology, mineral chemistry (especially clinopyroxene), whole-rock chemistry and Sr–Nd–Pb–Hf–O isotopic compositions of Cenozoic potassic–ultrapotassic lavas from the western Kunlun area of northwestern Tibet. New secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS) zircon U–Pb dating, coupled with published age results, constrain the timing of volcanism from ~8.3 Ma to the present. These lavas show geochemical characteristics that closely resemble the EM2 mantle end-member represented by the Samoan hotspot. Both whole rocks and individual magmatic clinopyroxenes display arc-like trace-element patterns and remarkably enriched Sr–Nd–Pb–Hf isotope compositions (87Sr/86Sr ≥ 0.7080; εNd ≤ −4.8; 206Pb/204Pb ≥ 18.704; εHf ≤ −2.6). Together with high zircon δ18O values (6.3–10.4‰), the data point to a mantle source enriched by recycled sedimentary materials. Geochemical modeling and geophysical evidence further indicate that the sediments were directly derived from the subducted Indian continental lithosphere during India–Eurasia collision. Partial melting models assuming a hybridized mantle source that contains ~5% Indian continental crust suggest that the primary melts of the potassic–ultrapotassic lavas could be formed by melting of a phlogopite-bearing garnet lherzolite at low melting degrees (1–5%). The magma geochemistry is consistent with the model of mélange melting, implying that the subducted sediments may detach from the downgoing Indian slab and rise up diapirically into the overlying mantle lithosphere. Unlike traditional models of subducted sediments entering the deep mantle, the western Kunlun EM2-like lavas reveal that subducted sediments can be rapidly recycled into the SCLM during continental subduction (probably <50 Myr). We suggest that the SCLM could be an important reservoir for subducted sediments. The findings are important to our understanding of mantle circulation rates and chemical heterogeneities.","PeriodicalId":16751,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Petrology","volume":"40 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135930531","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Each experiment was subjected to a cooling ramp of 7800 °C/h followed by an isothermal dwell at 19, 38, 57, 77, 96 or 129 °C of undercooling. The seeds (6 – 16 μm in diameter Ø) grew into large crystals (Ø 80 – 169 μm) in 3 to 30 min through the symmetrical development of tabular, skeletal, and dendritic overgrowths as the undercooling of the system increased. Time-resolved image processing and incremental measurements of the overgrowth thicknesses indicate up to three stages of crystal growth: an acceleration stage, a linear (constant growth rate) stage, and a deceleration stage. At the isotherm, the growth velocities reach a stable maximum that in all experiments corresponds to the period of linear growth. The highest linear values are measured at the $left{101right}$ interfaces, from 2.1 x 10-8 m/s at 19 °C of undercooling to 4.8 x 10-7 m/s at 129 °C of undercooling. Crystal growth is slower at other interfaces, in the ranges 1.9 – 7.6 x 10-8 m/s and 4.5 x 10-9 – 7.6 x 10-8 m/s for the $left{100right}$ and $left{001right}$ forms, respectively. Growth in the $<010>$ dimension appears limited to less than 2.4 x 10-8 m/s at 129 °C of undercooling. We constrain the uncertainty on these growth velocities, which includes the environmental conditions (± 8.6 °C on the nominal undercooling) and the measurements of crystal lengths (underestimated by < 16 % at most fast interfaces).\u0000 A systematic and comprehensive review of 19 pre-existing datasets indicates that our linear growth velocities are faster than most growth rates determined at comparable undercoolings. Growth rates determined as half crystal lengths divided by total time are intrinsically low estimates of the true maximum, linear growth velocities, because the total time includes periods of slower or non-growth, and measured crystal dimensions are subject to projection foreshortening or truncation. These errors can lead to values that are several times to several orders of magnitude lower than the true maximum growth rates. This study completes and refines previously published data on the crystallization kinetics of olivine, highlighting the sensitivity of growth rates to specific environmental conditions and measurement methods. We emphasize the importance of symmetrical growth and true maximum growth velocities for interpreting olivine growth histories.","PeriodicalId":16751,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Petrology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2023-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48523741","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Here we conducted in situ measurements of CO2 and H2O concentrations in apatite, along with elemental compositions, from two contemporaneous alkaline volcanic suites (Tianbao and Tudiling) in the South Qinling belt in central China to better understand the CO2 and H2O contents and behavior in evolving alkaline melts. Apatite from alkali basalts in Tianbao contains variable CO2 contents ranging from &amp;lt;100 ppm to 2.7 wt.% and H2O contents ranging from 0.1 to 0.6 wt.%. Apatite from REE-enriched trachytes, which evolved from alkali basalt, shows significantly lower CO2 contents and a continuous decrease in H2O during magma fractionation. The observations suggest that CO2 loss commenced at the early stages of magma evolution, whereas significant H2O loss occurred during subsequent magma fractionation in tandem with REE-enrichment. In comparison, apatite grains from the Tudiling trachyte, which is genetically linked with carbonatite, contain higher CO2 contents (0.6 to 1.5 wt.%) but lower REE concentrations than the Tianbao trachytes. Apatite in the Tudiling trachyte is inferred to have crystallized from a carbonated alkaline magma prior to significant CO2 loss and the separation of Tudiling carbonatitic melts, where subsequent liquid immiscibility led to REE enrichment into the carbonatitic melts. The volatile characteristics of apatite from the two volcanic suites provide valuable insights into two different evolutionary processes of alkaline/carbonatitic magmas, the behavior of CO2 and H2O, and the enrichment of REE in alkaline systems.","PeriodicalId":16751,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Petrology","volume":"103 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136161798","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although arc magmas may originate from a high-δ18O mantle wedge, it has been difficult to decipher the contribution of high-δ18O mantle to zircon-saturated felsic magma due to superimposed intra-crustal processes. We address this issue by combining the data from high-δ18O zircon-bearing ultramafic cumulates and coeval lavas from a Cretaceous magmatic arc in southern Tibet. The cumulates mainly consist of different proportions of cumulus olivine and intercumulus amphibole. Amphibole analyses show a transition from increasing to decreasing Zr with increasing SiO2 (50–74 wt.%) contents in the intercumulus melts, indicating zircon saturation in late-stage interstitial melts. The εNd(t) values (2.4 ± 1.4) of the apatite grains crystallised before and after zircon remain almost constant. Interstitial zircons have δ18O (6.1–7.2‰) values similar to the earliest crystallised olivine (δ18O = 6.3–7.1‰) in the cumulates. The coeval lavas may represent the intercumulus melts extracted from amphibole-rich cumulates at different depths. Both the lavas and cumulates were ultimately derived from high-δ18O arc mantle modified by small amounts (&amp;lt;12%) of subducted sediments, and crystallised zircon during intra-crustal magma evolution without involving crustal contamination or melting. These high-δ18O zircons therefore are not products of crustal reworking, but record crustal growth during their crystallisation (110 ± 2 Ma). Our study shows that the combination of zircon and olivine oxygen isotopes for ultramafic to felsic rocks is more effective than zircon data alone in evaluating the role of crustal growth vs. reworking in an arc system. The implication is that global zircon-based crustal evolution models that attribute all high-δ18O zircons to crustal reworking may conceal recent crustal growth.","PeriodicalId":16751,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Petrology","volume":"60 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2023-07-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138503698","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We report new Fe isotope data for whole rocks, and magnetite and ilmenite separates through the layered series (LS) and upper border series (UBS) of the intrusion. δ56Fe values for gabbroic rocks range from 0.033 to 0.151 ‰ with an abrupt step increase at the base of Lower Zone c (LZc) within the LS with the appearance of cumulus magnetite and subsequent decline accompanying FeTi oxide fractionation. The lowest δ56Fe values are found near the Upper Zone b (UZb) – c (UZc) boundary followed by a sharp rise across UZc approaching the Sandwich Horizon. Magnetite - ilmenite separates straddle bulk rock compositions with fractionation factors (∆56Femt-ilm) of 0.081 to 0.239 ‰, consistent with subsolidus equilibration. Granophyric rocks occurring as pods, sheets and wispy layers from the upper zone and UBS equivalents, having unradiogenic Sr like gabbroic rocks of Skaergaard, are isotopically heavier than their host ferrodiorites (∆56Fegranophyre-ferrodiorite ≥ 0.1 ‰) reaching a maximum δ56Fe of 0.217 ‰ for UBS granophyre. A fused xenolith from UBS has δ56Fe = 0.372 ‰. This range in δ56Fe spans much of that reported for terrestrial igneous rocks, and like the global dataset, shows a pronounced increase in δ56Fe with inferred silica content of modelled Skaergaard liquids. Forward modelling of closed system fractional solidification was undertaken to account for Fe isotope systematics, first by testing published liquid lines of descent (LLD), and then by exploring improvements and considering the impacts of liquid immiscibility, crustal contamination, fluid exsolution and diffusional processes. Our modelling relies on published Fe+2 and Fe+3 force constants for magmatic minerals and silicate glasses, and the most reliable estimates of the average bulk composition and mass proportions of the well-defined subzones of the intrusion. We show that the increase in δ56Fe across the LZb – LZc boundary is readily explained by the increased incorporation of Fe+3 into the crystallizing solid including magnetite. We further demonstrate that the classic Fenner LLD, involving strong Fe-enrichment at nearly constant silica, does not lead to a rise in δ56Fe towards the end stages of evolution, while a Bowen-like LLD, with little Fe enrichment and strong Si-enrichment, also underestimates enrichment in heavy Fe isotopes in the ferrodiorites of UZc. A LLD following an intermediate path involving modest Fe and Si enrichment, followed by Fe depletion best explains the observations. We predict ~3.5% (by mass) residual liquid after crystallization of UZc having a composition similar to felsic segregations in pegmatitic bodies found in the intrusion.

However, the large number of different equations parameterizing the relationship between mineral and melt compositions and intensive variables such as pressure and temperature yield vastly different results, with implications for our interpretation of magma storage conditions. We use a new test dataset composed of the average Clinopyroxene-Liquid (Cpx-Liq) compositions from N=543 variably-hydrous experiments at crustal conditions (1 bar to 17 kbar) to assess the performance of different thermobarometers, and identify the most accurate and precise expressions for application to subduction zone magmas. First, we assess different equilibrium tests, finding that comparing the measured and predicted EnFs and KD (using Fet in both phases) are the most useful tests in arc magmas, while CaTs, CaTi and Jd tests have limited utility. We then apply further quality filters based on cation sums (3.95-4.05), number of analyses (N>5), and the presence of reported H2O data in the quenched experimental glass (hereafter ‘liquid’) to obtain a filtered dataset (N=214). We use this filtered dataset to compare calculated versus experimental pressures and temperatures for different combinations of thermobarometers. A number of Cpx-Liq thermometers perform very well when liquid H2O contents are known, although the Cpx composition contributes little to the calculated temperature relative to the liquid composition. Most Cpx-only thermometers perform very badly, greatly overestimating temperatures for hydrous experiments. These two findings demonstrate that the Cpx chemistry alone holds very little temperature information in hydrous systems.\u0000 The majority of Cpx-Liq and Cpx-only barometers show similar performance to one another (mostly yielding RMSEs of 2-3.5 kbar), although the best Cpx-only barometers currently outperform the best Cpx-Liq barometers. We also assess the sensitivity of different equations to melt H2O contents, which are poorly constrained in many natural systems. Overall, this work demonstrates that Cpx-based barometry on individual Cpx only provides sufficient resolution to distinguish broad storage regions (e.g., upper, mid, lower crust). Significant averaging of Cpx compositions from experiments reported at similar pressures can reduce RMSEs to ~1.3-1.9 kbar. We hope our findings motivate the substantial amount of experimental and analytical work that is required to obtain precise and accurate estimates of magma storage depths from Cpx±Liq equilibrium in volcanic arcs.","PeriodicalId":16751,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Petrology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2023-07-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43928037","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Their coexistence with high−Al orthopyroxene as inclusions in garnets strongly suggests that the investigated melts were at least partially UHT in origin. The nanogranitoids are enriched in SiO2 (69.9−75.6 wt.%), strongly peraluminous (ASI values = 1.2−1.6) and potassic to ultrapotassic (Na2O + K2O = 7.1−9.5 wt.%, K/Na = 2.2−9.3). When compared to the granulitic restite, the melts are enriched in Li, Cs, Rb, Ta, Sm, Nd, Zr, U and Pb, and depleted in Ce, Th, Ba, Sr and Nb. Their geochemical characteristics are consistent with biotite−dehydration melting in the absence of plagioclase. Our calculation results indicate that these hot crustal melts have low densities of 2.47 ± 0.07 g/cm3, low viscosities of 104.9±1.2 Pa·s and high heat production values of ∼2.8 μW/m3. Therefore, such melts are mobile and susceptible to be extracted from the source, and consequently their flow and removal from the deep crust may greatly affect the chemical and thermal structure of the continental crust.\u0000 Secondary C−O−H fluid inclusions within garnet and orthopyroxene have also been detected. These inclusions contain magnesite, pyrophyllite, corundum, with or without residual CO2. The minerals within the fluid inclusions are interpreted as stepdaughter minerals, which were produced by the reaction of the fluid with their host. The metamorphic timing of the investigated rocks is still a matter of debate. Zircon U−Pb dating results obtained in this study suggest that the metapelitic granulites may have undergone two separated thermal events at ∼1000 and ∼530 Ma, respectively.

Clinopyroxene is LREE-depleted and has depleted 87Sr/86Sr (0.7017-0.7020). Crystal-preferred orientation determined by EBSD reveals that clinopyroxene, and sporadically both clino- and orthopyroxene, post-date the olivine framework. Subordinate Group II lherzolites also contain secondary clinopyroxene which is LREE-enriched and has higher 87Sr/86Sr (0.7033).

However, the petrographic evidence for mixing of magmas through infiltration and percolation in coexisting mushes and magmas is desired. Here, we describe complex zoning patterns of plagioclase in the MMEs hosted in the monzogranite of the Early Cretaceous Sanguliu pluton in East China, to reveal a mush-facilitated magma mixing process. The MMEs appear as round to oval nodules about 10 to 20 cm in size and show diverse disequilibrium textures. Plagioclase in the MMEs can be identified as three populations (Plag1, Plag2 and Plag3) with distinct zoning patterns, anorthite contents (XAn) and initial Sr isotopic ratios (87Sr/86Sri). Plag1 is antecryst displaying normal zoning with An42-67 in the core and An20-36 in the mantle. The core of Plag1 shows coarse sieve texture with high-frequency oscillation in the margin, and the mantle displays resorption surface and patchy zoning. Plag2 is also antecryst with An23-66 in the core and An21-35 in the mantle. However, its core can be further recognized as Core I inside and Core II outside with distinctly different An23-43 and An44-66, respectively, showing reverse zoning. In addition, Core I contains aligned biotite inclusions and Core II shows sieve texture, resorption surface and patchy zoning. Amphibole inclusions are sporadically enclosed within Core I of Plag2 (Amp1) and mantles of Plag1 and Plag2 (Amp2), but rarely observed in Core II of Plag2. Plag3 is anhedral grain in the matrix and shows core-rim texture with An20-37 in the core. The three plagioclase populations all exhibit angular rims with resembling An9-22. Plag1 core and Plag2 Core II have (87Sr/86Sr)i (0.70920 to 0.71092) similar to the bulk (87Sr/86Sr)i of the mafic dykes intruding the Sanguliu pluton, and likely crystallized from basaltic andesitic magmas. In contrast, the rims of Plag1, Plag2 and Plag3 overall have (87Sr/86Sr)i (0.71391 to 0.71583) nearly identical to the (87Sr/86Sr)i of host monzogranite and the plagioclase in the monzogranite, likely crystallized from granitic magmas. The mantles of Plag1 and Plag2 and the core of Plag3 have (87Sr/86Sr)i (0.71141 to 0.71390) overlapping the (87Sr/86Sr)i of the MMEs, and may have crystallized from mixed melts. Calculation results based on amphibole thermobarometers show that Amp1 crystallized at ~775 °C and ~16 km depth, whereas Amp2 and the amphibole in the matrix of the MMEs and monzogranite crystallized at 730-744 °C and 8-9 km depth. We thus propose that the chemical and textural complexity of the three plagioclase populations in the MMEs can be attributed to that the MMEs may have come from a mushy hybrid layer that was developed through a molten granitic body being recharged by upwelling basaltic andesitic magma. Core I of Plag2 may have nucleated and grown from andesitic magma that was evolved from the basaltic andesitic magma","PeriodicalId":16751,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Petrology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2023-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45145423","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Effects of H2O-CO2 Fluids, Temperature, and Peridotite Fertility on Partial Melting in Mantle Wedges and Generation of Primary Arc Basalts","authors":"M. Lara, R. Dasgupta","doi":"10.1093/petrology/egad047","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1093/petrology/egad047","url":null,"abstract":"\u0000 Many lines of evidence from high P-T experiments, thermodynamic models, and natural observations suggest that slab-derived aqueous fluids, which flux mantle wedges contain variable amounts of dissolved carbon. However, constraints on the effects of H2O-CO2 fluids on mantle melting, particularly at mantle wedge P-T conditions, are limited. Here we present new piston cylinder experiments on fertile and depleted peridotite compositions with 3.5 wt.% H2O and XCO2 [= molar CO2 / (CO2 + H2O)] of 0.04-0.17. Experiments were performed at 2-3 GPa and 1350 °C to assess how temperature, peridotite fertility, and XCO2 of slab-derived fluid affects partial melting in mantle wedges. All experiments produce olivine + orthopyroxene + 7 to 41 wt.% partial melt. Our new data, along with previous lower temperature data, show that as mantle wedge temperature increases, primary melts become richer in SiO2, FeO* and MgO and poorer CaO, Al2O3 and alkalis when influenced by H2O-CO2 fluids. At constant P-T and bulk H2O content, the extent of melting in the mantle wedge is largely controlled by peridotite fertility and XCO2 of slab-fluid. High XCO2 depleted compositions generate ~ 7 wt.% melt whereas, at identical P-T, low XCO2 fertile compositions generate ~ 30-40 wt.% melt. Additionally, peridotite fertility and XCO2 have significant effects on peridotite partial melt compositions. At a constant P-T-XCO2, fertile peridotites generate melts richer in CaO and Al2O3 and poorer in SiO2, MgO+FeO, and alkalis. Similar to previous experimental studies, at a constant P-T-fertility condition, as XCO2 increases, SiO2 and CaO of melts systematically decrease and increase, respectively. Such distinctive effects of oxidized form of dissolved carbon on peridotite partial melt compositions are not observed if the carbon-bearing fluid is reduced, such as CH4-bearing. Considering the large effect of XCO2 on melt SiO2 and CaO concentrations and the relatively oxidized nature of arc magmas, we compare the SiO2/CaO of our experimental melts and melts from previous peridotite + H2O ± CO2 studies to the SiO2/CaO systematics of primitive arc basalts and ultra-calcic, silica-undersaturated arc melt inclusions. From this comparison, we demonstrate that across most P-T-fertility conditions predicted for mantle wedges, partial melts from bulk compositions with XCO2 ≥ 0.11 have lower SiO2/CaO than all primitive arc melts found globally, even when correcting for olivine fractionation, whereas partial melts from bulk compositions with XCO2 = 0.04 overlap the lower end of the SiO2/CaO field defined by natural data. These results suggest that the upper XCO2 limit of slab-fluids influencing primary arc magma formation is 0.04 &lt; XCO2 &lt; 0.11, and this upper limit is likely to apply globally. Lastly, we show that the anomalous SiO2/CaO and CaO/Al2O3 signatures observed in ultra-calcic arc melt inclusions can be reproduced by partial melting of either CO2-bearing hydrous fertile and depleted peridotites ","PeriodicalId":16751,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Petrology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2023-06-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48645940","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
