The petrographic and microprobe analysis showed that the rocks contain three paragenetic mineral associations: (1) “xenogenic” (metamorphic) association consisting of garnet (<i>X</i><sub><i>Prp</i></sub> = 0.42, <i>X</i><sub><i>Alm</i></sub> = 0.51–0.53, <i>X</i><sub><i>Grs</i></sub> = 0.04–0.05) + hercynite + sapphire + bronzite + pargasite + ilmenite; (2) early magmatic association represented by hypersthene + hercynite + garnet (<i>X</i><sub><i>Prp</i></sub> = 0.21–0.31, <i>X</i><sub><i>Alm</i></sub> = 0.52–0.71, <i>X</i><sub><i>Grs</i></sub> = 0.04–0.13) + ferro-kaersutite + ilmenite; (3) late magmatic association including hypersthene-ferrohypersthene + labradorite + garnet (<i>X</i><sub><i>Prp</i></sub> = 0.04–0.14, <i>X</i><sub><i>Alm</i></sub> = 0.65–0.81, <i>X</i><sub><i>Grs</i></sub> = 0.06–0.18) + osumilite-(Mg) + phlogopite + tridymite + ilmenite + apatite.

Accordingly, this mineral in the studied lavas has a purely magmatic origin. Thermobarometric calculations and petrological modeling showed that the deep magma chamber of Kordieritoviy Volcano was located at a depth of 45–53 km near the Moho discontinuity. The temperature of the melt at the early magmatic stage was no less than 1100°C at 17–23 kbar. Crystallization of osumilite-(Mg) in intermediate magmatic chambers (at depths of 30–40 km) and during the lava ejection occurred at 1030–870°C and pressure progressively decreasing from 14–9 to 1 kbar. A petrogenetic model has been proposed to explain the genesis of exotic osumilite-bearing lavas of Kordieritoviy Volcano. It includes several stages: (1) formation of an enriched upper-mantle source (lithospheric mantle metasomatized by permanent interaction at the Moho discontinuity with the overlying lower crust composed of metamorphosed terrigenous-volcanogenic complexes); (2) generation of “dry” basaltic magmas in the source; (3) crystallization differentiation in the source (fractionation of olivine and chro","PeriodicalId":20026,"journal":{"name":"Petrology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142261366","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Our goal is to understand the possible causes of the change in the slope of the <i>P</i>–<i>T</i> exhumation path of the Central Zone (CZ) of the Limpopo granulite complex, South Africa, located between the Kaapvaal and Zimbabwe cratons. For this purpose, rocks (mainly, metapelites) were studied in various structural settings within the Central Zone, i.e., in dome structures, regional cross folds, and in local and regional shear zones. The metapelites are gneisses of similar bulk composition. The rocks contain various amounts of relics of leucosomes composed of quartz–feldspar aggregates with garnet and biotite, and melanocratic domains that are enriched in cordierite and usually mark shear microzones that envelope and/or break garnet porphyroblasts. Study of polymineralic (crystallized melt and fluid) inclusions in the garnet, its zoning with respect to the major (Mg, Fe, and Ca) and some trace (P, Cr, and Sc) elements, fluid inclusions in quartz, as well as phase equilibria modeling (PERPLE_X) showed that the rocks coexisted with granite melts and saline aqueous carbonic fluids (<span>({a}_{text{H}_{2}text{O}})</span> = 0.74–0.58) at the peak of metamorphism at 800–850°C and 10–11 kbar.

This is reflected in the specific zoning of the garnet grains in terms of the grossular content. A change in the rheology of the rocks as a result of partial removal and crystallization of melt activated the shear zones during further exhumation to 6–5.5 kbar along a decompression–cooling <i>P</i>–<i>T</i> path at 95–100°/kbar, reflecting the slower uplift of the rocks in the middle crust.

The data obtained suggest that the studied part of the massif was formed in at least two almost simultaneous stages. The lower part of the massif was crystallized first, and the second injection of granite melt arrived immediately after the first portion has been crystallized, but had no yet had time to cool significantly. The Tc values in the lower part of the massif indicate the re-opening of the oxygen isotope system of quartz, with subsequent long-term isotope re-equilibration between minerals. This leads to decrease of the observed Tc values and the calculated cooling rates, which is related to increasing volume of the intrusive body and cooling within already heated rocks. Estimates of the isotopic parameters of the water component indicate the absence of exotic water fluid (meteoric or buried waters) during cooling of the massif.

The assignment of granitoids of these complexes to high-potassium C-type adakites is substantiated. It is established that the studied rocks are cogenetic and can be ascribed to a single Amudzhikan volcano-plutonic association formed in the age range of 133 ± 1–128 ± 1 Ma. The igneous complexes of this association belong to the Stanovoy volcano-plutonic belt, which extends in the sublatitudinal direction from the Pacific Ocean inward the North Asian continent for more than 1000 km, subparallel to the Mongol-Okhotsk suture zone, and assembles the tectonic structures of the Dzhugdzhur-Stanovoy and West-Stanovoy superterranes. The formation of the Stanovoy Belt is related to the closure of the Mongolo-Okhotsk Ocean and the collision between North Asian and Sino-Korean continents at ~140 Ma. The subsequent collapse of the collisional orogen, which was accompanied by large-scale lithospheric extension and delamination of the lower part of the continental lithosphere, led to upwelling of asthenospheric mantle. This caused melting of the lithospheric mantle and continental crust and, as a consequence, the formation of both mafic (shoshonitic) melts and anatectic crustal melts of the adakite type. The mixing of these melts led to the formation of the parental magmas of the Amudzhikan magmatic association. The crustal component in the source was of heterogeneous nature and finally formed as a result of the Early Cretaceous collision event. It is characterized by the upper-crustal isotopic signatures: increased Rb/Sr and U/Pb ratios and a decreased Sm/Nd ratio in the source.

Three types of CSD were identified: loglinear, bimodal, and lognormal. Combining these data with the results of petrological reconstructions, which earlier revealed two main types of the Dovyren magmas (using the method of geochemical thermometry), we proposed a basic scenario of interaction between magmatic suspensions of different temperature to explain the diversity of the CSD. The intratelluric olivine transported by magmas of different temperature, which had not subjected to abrupt cooling or heating in the chamber, retained an original loglinear CSD. For some portions of the hottest magma (∼1290°C), it is assumed that the original olivine evolved into a bimodal CSD due to accelerated crystallization at faster cooling of the high-temperature injections contacting relatively cold crystal mush (∼1190°C). An interpretation of the lognormal CSD suggests that part of the olivine crystals composing the protocumulate systems efficiently interacted with the pore melt infiltrating upward during the compaction of the underlying crystal mush. This led to cycles of partial dissolution and regrowth of the olivine grains resulting in a final lognormal CSD. The infiltrating hot melt, which was undersaturated with immiscible sulfide liquid, could dissolve sulfides preexisting in the low-temperature mush. This produced dunites with lognormal CSD relatively depleted in sulfur and chalcophile elements. The lognormal CSD is considered to be a marker of crystal mush regions through which the focused infiltration of the pore melt proceeded.</p>","PeriodicalId":20026,"journal":{"name":"Petrology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141647414","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
