Clinopyroxene is known to be an important water carrier in the uppermost mantle, and eclogite, which forms a subordinate part of the cratonic lithosphere, contains some 50% of jadeite-rich clinopyroxene, making this potentially a significant H₂O reservoir in the bulk lithospheric mantle. Mantle metasomatism, in particular by small-volume melts like kimberlite, is known to enrich the lithosphere in highly incompatible components, but its effect on H₂O contents in cratonic eclogite remains unclear. We report H₂O concentrations for clinopyroxene and garnet in eclogite and pyroxenite xenoliths from several African kimberlites, obtained by Fourier-Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR). Except one sample showing evidence for minor within-grain variability of H₂O concentrations (&lt; 15%), FTIR images demonstrate that H₂O is homogeneously distributed in optically clear areas of clinopyroxene fragments mounted for this study. The samples were variably metasomatised by a kimberlite-like melt, as evidenced by elevated MgO contents and abundances of highly incompatible elements (e.g., Sr, Ce, Th). Although metasomatised eclogites and pyroxenites on average show higher H₂O abundances than pristine ones, mantle metasomatism decreases the Al₂O₃ content in clinopyroxene, which is known to enhance hydrogen incorporation in this mineral. As a consequence, hydrogen incorporation is inhibited, and c(H₂O) becomes increasingly decoupled from other highly incompatible components, such as LREE. Thus, eclogite – metasomatised or not - does not significantly contribute to the H₂O inventory in the bulk cratonic mantle.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":526,"journal":{"name":"Contributions to Mineralogy and Petrology","volume":"179 8","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2024-07-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s00410-024-02157-6.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141648819","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Most previous studies have utilized apatite to study individual magmatic systems or regions. However, volatile systematics in terrestrial magmatic apatite formed under different geological environments has been poorly understood. In this study, we filtered a large compilation of data for apatite in terrestrial igneous rocks (<i>n</i> &gt; 20,000), categorized the data according to tectonic settings, rock types, and bulk-rock compositions, and conducted statistical analyses of the F–Cl–OH–S–CO₂ contents (~ 11,000 data for halogen and less for other volatiles). We find that apatite from volcanic arcs preserves a high Cl signature in comparison to other tectonic settings and the median Cl contents differ between arcs. Apatite in various types and compositions of igneous rocks shows overlapping F–Cl–OH compositions and features in some rock groups. Specifically, apatite in kimberlite is characterized as Cl-poor, whereas apatite in plutonic rocks can contain higher F and lower Cl contents than the volcanic counterparts. Calculation using existing partitioning models indicates that apatite with a high OH (or F) content does not necessarily indicate a H₂O-rich (or H₂O-poor) liquid because it could be a result of high (or low) magma temperature. Our work may provide a new perspective on the use of apatite to investigate volatile behavior in magma genesis and evolution across tectonic settings, volatile recycling at subduction zones, and the volcanic-plutonic connection.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":526,"journal":{"name":"Contributions to Mineralogy and Petrology","volume":"179 7","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2024-07-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s00410-024-02147-8.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141575848","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We provide whole-rock geochemical data from Sattasvaara komatiites and combine it with literature data to form a geochemical database for the CLGB komatiites. We construct a model for the komatiites from adiabatic melting of the mantle source to fractional crystallization at crustal conditions. Using MELTS, we calculate three parental melts (MgO = 20.6–25.7 wt%) in equilibrium with Fo₉₂, Fo₉₃, and Fo₉₄ olivine for the CLGB komatiites. Based on REEBOX PRO simulations, these parental melts can form from a single mantle source by different pressures and degrees of melting when the potential temperature is 1575–1700 °C. We calculate ranges of S contents for the parental melts based on the different mantle melting conditions and degrees of melting. We use Magma Chamber Simulator to fractionally crystallize the parental melt at crustal conditions. These simulations reproduce the major element oxide, Ni, Cu, and S contents from our komatiite database. Simulated Ni contents in olivine are compatible with literature data from Kevitsa and Sakatti, hence providing a baseline to identify Ni-depleted olivine in CLGB komatiites and related intrusive rocks.

Sr-isotopic variations across this interval have been particularly well-studied, but despite this, little consensus exists regarding the petrogenesis and metallogenesis of this economically important interval.

A plagioclase-laden magma of Main Zone affinity subsequently intruded the chamber as a basal flow, elevating the resident Critical Zone magma.

However, our knowledge of how and why &lt;span&gt;(f_{textrm{O}_{2}})&lt;/span&gt; varies within and between magmatic systems remains patchy because of diverse challenges associated with estimating the valence state of Fe in glasses and minerals routinely. Here we investigate Fe valence systematics in magmatic clinopyroxene crystals from ocean island basalts (OIBs) erupted in Iceland and the Azores to explore whether they record information about magma Fe&lt;span&gt;(^{3+})&lt;/span&gt; contents and magmatic &lt;span&gt;(f_{textrm{O}_{2}})&lt;/span&gt; conditions. Although many studies assume that all Fe in augitic clinopyroxene crystals from OIBs occurs as Fe&lt;span&gt;(^{2+})&lt;/span&gt;, we find that up to half of the total Fe present can occur as Fe&lt;span&gt;(^{3+})&lt;/span&gt;, with crystals from alkali systems typically containing more Fe&lt;span&gt;(^{3+})&lt;/span&gt; than those from tholeiitic systems.
