In order to assess the scales of fluid mobility, chemical and isotopic inheritance, as well as resulting degrees of isotopic heterogeneity in the exhumed high-pressure lithologies, we performed the detailed mineralogical, in-situ trace-element and Rb–Sr isotope studies, combined with P–T–X thermodynamic modelling of representative eclogites from the Alag Khadny accretionary complex (SW Mongolia). The eclogites (garnet + omphacite + phengite + rutile + quartz + retrograde amphibole and clinozoisite) display records of subduction-related burial to 540–625 °C and 1.7–2.1 GPa, with the enclosed phengite supposed to be in equilibrium at prograde-to-peak conditions. Trace-element signatures, including Cs/Rb (0.03–0.08) and Ba/Rb (7.1–13.8) ratios of phengite, are consistent with moderately to strongly altered protoliths of eclogites, which is supported by elevated δ¹⁸O values and in-situ Rb–Sr constraints on the initial (⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr)_I ratios of phengite within 0.70549–0.70957. Partial backward rehydration (~ 0.5–1.0 wt% of H₂O added) during decompression from 1.6 to 1.2 GPa produced amphibole- and clinozoisite-bearing assemblages, did not significantly affect LILE systematics and variable ⁸⁷Rb/⁸⁶Sr ratios of phengite. Limited Rb and Ba loss from phengite during recrystallization is suspected in the evidently deformed eclogites based on the LILE mineral–fluid and phengite–amphibole partitioning data. No exclusive evidence is found in amphibole for LILE-rich metasedimentary fluid with high (⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr)_I released into eclogites. Instead, unradiogenic ⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr (0.70279–0.70301) of clinozoisite highlights metasomatic addition from the underlying mafic crust or dehydrated peridotitic mantle. Variable deformation-enhanced fluid-rock interaction during early exhumation was recorded by in-situ phengite Rb-Sr geochronology at 568 ± 9 Ma, which is considered a direct fluid flow snapshot and place a new minimum age constraint for the peak subduction burial. We argue that, except cases of apparent metasomatic origin of phengite, its (⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr)_I ratios may be a sensitive tracer for the eclogite precursor alteration due to limited Sr mobility. Sample-scale Rb-Sr isotopic heterogeneities may be preserved in the orogenic eclogites due to multi-stage retrograde hydration and should be taken into account while interpreting the bulk-rock Sr isotope data.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":526,"journal":{"name":"Contributions to Mineralogy and Petrology","volume":"179 11","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2024-10-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142555287","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}

Recently, geophysical and numerical studies have inferred considerable hydrothermal alteration in plate bending faults, opening the possibility of significant C storage in the slab mantle. However, there is a lack of quantitative determination of C uptake in serpentinized mantle rocks. Here, we experimentally constrain serpentinite carbonation in H₂O–CO₂–NaCl fluids to estimate C uptake in hydrated mantle rocks. We find that serpentinite carbonation results in the formation of talc and magnesite along the serpentinite surface. The presence of porous reaction zones (49.2% porosity) promotes the progress of carbonation reactions through a continuous supply of CO₂-bearing fluids to the reaction front. Added NaCl effectively decreases the serpentinite carbonation efficiency, particularly at low salinities (&lt; 5.0 wt%), which is likely attributed to the reduction in fluid pH and the transport rate of reactants, and the increase in magnesite solubility. Based on previous and our experiments, we fit an empirical equation for the reaction rate of serpentinite carbonation. Extrapolation of this equation to depths of plate bending fault systems suggests that serpentinite carbonation may contribute to an influx of up to 7.3–28.5 Mt C/yr in subduction zones. Our results provide new insights into serpentinite carbonation in environments with high fluid salinities and potentially contribute to the understanding of the C cycle in subduction zones.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":526,"journal":{"name":"Contributions to Mineralogy and Petrology","volume":"179 11","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2024-10-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s00410-024-02175-4.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142410632","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}

Crystals erupted simultaneously may be sampled from different regions of the plumbing system and hence record variable histories due to complex magma dynamics. In addition, crystals erupted throughout the course of an eruption may record temporal variations in the plumbing system. To resolve mush variability on both spatial and temporal scales, we investigate clinopyroxene erupted during a series of paroxysmal episodes between February–April 2021 at Mt. Etna, Italy. Using a combination of high-resolution geochemical techniques, we observe that Cr enrichments in clinopyroxene mantle zones, grown upon eruption-triggering mafic rejuvenation, exhibit both temporal and spatial (sample-scale) variability. Temporal variability correlates with changes in glass compositions, attesting to the ability of clinopyroxene to track magma maficity throughout an eruption. Spatial variability, indicated by the scatter of Cr concentrations, is greatest for the first event and lowest for the final paroxysm. In conjunction with core textures, degree of sector enrichment and thermobarometry, our data suggest that the onset of the paroxysms was preceded by the remobilisation of a mid-crustal clinopyroxene mush (534 ± 46 MPa) by hot, mafic magma causing variable resorption of mush-derived crystal cores. Towards the end of the eruption, waning magma supply led to less efficient mush remobolisation and mixing, resulting in homogenous crystal populations. Our results highlight that clinopyroxene Cr contents and sector enrichment can be used to track mafic rejuvenation and magma evolution throughout eruptions, while also reflecting spatial heterogeneities within the plumbing system.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":526,"journal":{"name":"Contributions to Mineralogy and Petrology","volume":"179 11","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2024-10-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s00410-024-02174-5.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142410643","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}

Diamond formation beneath Koidu is predominantly associated with eclogitic substrates that originated from subduction and high-pressure metamorphism of oceanic crust, as indicated by a dominance of eclogitic (78%) over peridotitic (17%) and mixed paragenesis diamonds (5%). Peridotitic diamonds contain olivine inclusions with very high Mg# (92.2–94.7; median = 94.2), indicative of derivation from dunite or harzburgite protoliths. Moreover, a peridotitic spinel with Cr# = 50.9 suggests that it equilibrated with orthopyroxene-free dunite. 44% of Koidu diamonds contain coesite, of which some coexist with omphacite, eclogitic garnet, and/or kyanite. Most analysed eclogitic garnet inclusions have extremely high δ¹⁸O values ( ≥ + 9.9‰) and occur with clinopyroxene inclusions that have very high jadeite components (~ 70 mol%). These high jadeite components are a close match to clinopyroxenes in high-pressure metapelites, which have a phase assemblage that includes coesite and kyanite. Our data suggest that the eclogitic mineral inclusions in most Koidu diamonds have oceanic basalt protoliths that were mingled with pelagic sediments, which may have increased δ¹⁸O values to levels much higher than observed for other eclogites at Koidu and shifted the originally basaltic bulk compositions closer to that of pelites. Most eclogitic mineral inclusions in Koidu diamonds have elemental compositions not observed for Koidu eclogite xenoliths, which have clear oceanic crust protolith (oceanic lavas and cumulates) signatures without significant crustal sediment contamination.

This field comprises two distinct types of basalts: massive basalts, characterized by aphyric to moderately porphyritic textures without large vesicles, and vesicular basalts, known for their highly vesicular nature. Olivine-hosted melt inclusions within the massive basalts exhibit a diverse range of chemical compositions. Type-A melt inclusions are distinguished by lower levels of K₂O, Rb, Ba and U, but higher concentrations of S, Co, Ni, and Cu. Conversely, Type-B melt inclusions exhibit higher levels of K₂O, Rb, Ba and U, but lower concentrations of S, Co, Ni, and Cu. Although both types of melt inclusions show similar ranges of La/Sm, La/Yb, Sr/Yb, and Zr/Nb, the significant differences in K₂O/TiO₂ and Nb/U indicate that the massive basalts likely originate from the mixing of two distinct melts derived from different source regions. Data from melt inclusions and quenched basaltic glasses, combined with theoretical calculations, indicate that Type-I melts, represented by the Type-A melt inclusions, were sulfide-saturated during the crystallization of olivine at depth, evolving into sulfide-unsaturated melts as they ascended towards the seafloor. Approximately 50% of the Cu in the Type-I melts transitioned to the gas phase and were eventually released from the magma to the overlying hydrothermal system. Conversely, Type-II melts, represented by the Type-B melt inclusions, did not reach sulfide saturation. The presence of magmatic sulfides within or attached to vesicles, occupying voids in the primocryst frameworks, and lining the walls of vapor bubbles in melt inclusions, may suggest a volatile-driven transport of magmatic sulfides from the magma system as compound drops during magma degassing.
