The groundmass melt was andesitic with ~ 59 – 61 wt% SiO 2 , and it contained abundant microphenocrysts of olivine and plagioclase. In contrast, ~ 59% of the plagioclase – hosted melt inclusions have rhyolitic compositions with ~ 70 – 75 wt% SiO 2 . The host plagioclase phenocrysts have cores with An# of 44.7 ± 4.2 [An# = 100Ca/(Ca + Na) in mol] and rims with An# of 68 – 78, and the calcic rims have compositions similar to the microphenocrysts. The cores of the host plagioclase phenocrysts have FeO* and K 2 O contents that are in equilibrium with the rhyolitic melt inclusions. Using the plagioclase – melt geohygrometers and assuming temper-atures of 790 – 850 °C, we estimated the H 2 O contents of the rhyolitic melt inclusions to be ~ 4.4 – 10.2 wt%, indicating H 2 O – saturation depths of >4.5 km. Our results suggest that an inhibited reservoir of plagioclase – bearing rhyolitic melt existed beneath the monogenetic volcano at the time of the scoria eruption, which was ~ 800 years earlier than the fi rst rhyolitic eruption in the volcanic fi eld. Plagioclase content in the silicic reservoir is estimated to be less than 35.8%, suggesting the magma was eruptible. Our results demonstrate the potential usefulness of plagioclase – hosted melt inclusions for indicating the existence of such an inhibited silicic magma.","PeriodicalId":51093,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Mineralogical and Petrological Sciences","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2020-06-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42743088","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}

The first hydrothermal ageing experiment was performed by heating the nanocrystalline mackinawite at 120 °C for 12 h. The nanocrystalline mackinawite remained essentially unchanged for 12 h. The d001 and FWHM values of XRD peaks decreased for the first 2 h and subsequently maintained almost constant. There was no linear relationship between lattice parameters and hydrothermal heating time. The crystallite size quickly increased by the heating of 2 h, leading to the increase of crystallinity and appearance of the medium–range order in the nanocrystalline mackinawite. The nanocrystalline mackinawite preferentially grew in the horizontal direction along the sheet structure. The Fe atoms were distributed in the tetrahedral sites with a site occupancy of approximately 80%. The pre–edge peak energy of Fe K–edge suggested that about 10% Fe3+ was included in the nanocrystalline mackinawite to compensate the charge deficiency of Fe2+. The second hydrothermal ageing experiment was performed by heating the nanocrystalline mackinawite at 120 °C under the presence of elemental sulfur for 24 h. The nanocrystalline mackinawite persisted up to 8 h of heating time. Thereafter, pyrite and greigite instead of the nanocrystalline mackinawite appeared. Finally pyrite became dominant. The d001 and lattice parameters of nanocrystalline mackinawite varied significantly compared with those heated under the absence of elemental sulfur. The pre–edge peak energy indicated that the Fe2+ was oxidized to Fe3+ by elemental sulfur acting as the oxidant during the phase transformation from nanocrystalline mackinawite to greigite. In the phase transformation to pyrite, on the other hand, the Fe3+ was reduced to Fe2+ by sulfur in mackinawite and greigite acting as the reductant. The EXAFS analysis revealed that the second peak from the Fe–Fe interaction appeared at the heating time of 2 h, implying the formation of sheet structure consisting of edge–sharing FeS4 tetrahedra. Intensity of the second shell peak from the Fe–Fe interaction reduced after the heating time of 8 h. Instead, new peaks corresponding to the Fe–S and Fe–Fe interaction appeared after the heating time of 12 h. This result was strongly associated with formation of the disulfide bonds (S–S bonds) in pyrite. Consequently, the elemental sulfur can be recognized as one of the most important factors to promote the phase transformation from mackinawite to pyrite in the reducing lake and marine sediments.","PeriodicalId":51093,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Mineralogical and Petrological Sciences","volume":"115 1","pages":"261-275"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2020-05-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48075757","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}

The Rakhabdev lineament from Rajasthan, India, provides a unique opportunity to understand its tectonic evolution inferred from the deformation microstructures. However, the complexity of surrounding calc – silicate rocks had resulted in a long – driven debate on the origins of these serpentinite rocks. The source rocks of the serpentinites also cannot be determined pre-viously due to complete serpentinization and metasomatism rendering complete alteration of the source rocks. In this study, the serpentinite mineral was analyzed using Raman spectroscopy to accurately characterize its molecular structure. The presence of the antigorite – variety of serpentine mineral indicate towards the origin of Rakhabdev serpentinites in the upper mantle condition. The antigorite serpentinite of Rakhabdev is a hydration product of mantle materials showing high Mg# values obtained from EPMA data. The microstructural and EBSD analysis also indicates two stages of deformation, with deformation of antigorite at upper mantle conditions, followed by their shallow crustal carbonate metasomatism and subsequent deformation of the carbo-nates, with later stage calcite vein intrusion. This resulted in the appearance of antigorite in contact with calcite, dolomite, talc, tremolite, and chlorite. The exhumation of mantle wedge antigorite serpentinite is, therefore, indicating a paleo – subduction zone culminating in a crustal – scale collision boundary expressed as arcuate dis-continuous bodies forming the Rakhabdev lineament.","PeriodicalId":51093,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Mineralogical and Petrological Sciences","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2020-03-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.2465/jmps.191016","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49533135","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}

The southern area of the Hidaka Supergroup is referred to as the Nakanogawa Group, which gradually leads to the high – temperature Hidaka metamorphic belt in the western part. We collected 17 samples of greenstone from the entire Hidaka belt and examined their whole – rock major and trace element geochemistry. Including those described in previous reports, three distinct types of greenstone exist in the Hidaka belt. Type 1 greenstone is an ocean island basalt – type greenstone. The multi – element and rare earth element (REE) patterns for this type of greenstone show a steep slope up to the left, with Ti/V > 62 and Zr/Nb < 15. Type 2 greenstone is a mid – ocean ridge basalt (MORB) – type greenstone that shows relatively fl at chondrite – normalized REE patterns and a gentle slope up to the left on the normal – MORB – normalized multi – element patterns with Ti/V = 26 – 53 and Zr/Nb = 21 – 117. Type 3 greenstone shows multi – element and REE patterns similar to those of Type 1, but with a clear relative depletion of Nb, Ta, and Ti. In addition, its Ti – V relations are similar to those of Type 2 greenstone. Type 1 and Type 3 greenstones occur only in the Nakanogawa Group. Type 2 greenstone is mostly distributed in the northern the Hidaka Supergroup. Type 1 and Type 3 greenstones were generated by igneous activity on the Izanagi Plate, which was being subducted during the formation of the subduction complex of the Hidaka belt. Type 2 greenstone is interpreted as a product of a spreading axis that was active during the formation of the same subduction complex. Whereas Type 2 greenstone has been regarded as having a typical MORB – like geochemical signature, our results show slightly di ff erent, Indian Ocean MORB – type trace element patterns. These geochemical signatures are di ff erent than those of the amphibolites in the Hidaka metamorphic belt. The protolith of the amphibolite is not equivalent to the Type 2 greenstones and is probably an accreted fragment of an older oceanic plate. Type 2 greenstone was presumably generated from upper mantle with an Indian mantle – like geochemical signature during the Izanagi – Paci fi c ridge subduction on the western margins of the Paci fi c Ocean around 48 Ma.","PeriodicalId":51093,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Mineralogical and Petrological Sciences","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2020-02-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42468859","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}
