Deformation and melt–rock interaction in the upper mantle: Insights from the layered structure of the Horoman peridotite, Japan
To obtain a better understanding of melt–rock interactions in the upper mantle, microstructural and petrological analyses were conducted on deformed mantle peridotites from the Horoman peridotite complex, Hokkaido, Japan. The Horoman peridotite complex is lithologically heterogeneous and contains various kinds of ultramafic and mafic rocks. We studied an outcrop of 3 × 70 m in size that contains layered spinel harzburgite, plagioclase lherzolite, and mafic rocks. The results indicate that reactive melts migrated preferentially along the foliation in the already deformed peridotite, and that these melt-rich zones became especially prone to further deformation. This inference is supported by (1) the parallelism of the boundaries of rock layers and foliation in the deformed peridotite, and the shape and crystallographic preferred orientations (SPOs and CPOs) of olivine in the peridotites; (2) the diffusive trends of magnesium and modal compositions of pargasite grains near the boundaries between peridotite and mafic layers; (3) variations in the NiO content of olivine crystals; (4) variations in olivine CPOs with orthorhombic (010)[100] slip system patterns and weak fiber-[010] patterns; and (5) the strong pargasite SPOs, the cuspate shapes of the pargasites, and the absence of intercrystallite deformation. The results, combined with previously reported P–T conditions for the Horoman peridotite complex, indicate that the deformed peridotites and mafic rocks with a layered structure represent temperatures of 1050–1150 °C and pressures of 0.7–1.5 GPa. Our results suggest that a decrease in pressure led to the transition from a melt-free to a melt-bearing system with a consequent change in the deformation mechanism, from dislocation creep in the melt-free system to diffusion creep in the melt-bearing system, with strain localization in the fine-grained melt-rich layers. The change in deformation mechanism is likely to have occurred in the uppermost mantle beneath a mid-ocean ridge, where strong rheological contrasts are controlled by spatial variations in the melt fraction.
