Mutual interaction of redox pairs in silicate melts: Equilibria involving metallic phases

Borisov A.

摘要

Mutual interaction of redox pairs resulting in the origin or decomposition of a metal phase is analyzed based on the concept of intrinsic oxygen fugacity. Reactions are suggested that may be responsible for the synthesis (or decomposition) of submicrometer-sized metal nuggets when experimental melts are quenched and can explain the possible crystallization of Pt—Fe alloys when basaltic melts cool and elucidate the nature of color of Au-bearing ruby glass. Possible disproportionation reactions of certain lower oxides into a higher oxide and respective metal in cooled silicate melts are discussed.

Late Pleistocene Tendürek Volcano (Eastern Anatolia, Turkey): I. Geochronology and petrographic characteristics of igneous rocks

Lebedev V., Sharkov E., Ünal E., Keskin M.

摘要

The series of two papers presents a comprehensive isotope-geochronological and petrological-geochemical study of the Late Quaternary Tendürek Volcano (Eastern Turkey), one of the greatest volcanoes within the Caucasian—Eastern Anatolian segment of the Alpine foldbelt. The first article discusses the results of chronostratigraphic reconstruction and provides the main petrographic characteristics of the Tendürek’s igneous rocks. The K-Ar dating results show that the magmatic activity of the Tendürek Volcano developed in the Late Pleistocene time, over the period of the last 250 thousand years. Five discrete phases (I—250–200 ka, II—200–150 ka, III—150–100 ka, IV—100–70 ka, and V—<50 ka) of the youngest magmatism were identified in this study. The first two phases were represented by the fissure eruptions of alkaline basic lavas and subsequent formation of vast lava plateaus, the Çaldıran and Doğubeyazıt plains. In the following phases, the intermediate and moderately-acid volcanic rocks of mildly-alkaline or alkaline series started to dominate among the eruption products. According to their petrographic characteristics, the rocks of Tendürek Volcano are assigned to the alkaline association with Na-specifics (hawaiites-mugearites-benmoreites). The available geological, isotope-geochronological, and geomorphological data suggest that the Tendürek Volcano is potentially active. Nowadays, Tendürek reaches the caldera stage of its development.

Conditions of crystallization, composition, and sources of rare-metal magmas forming ongonites in the Kalba—Narym zone, Eastern Kazakhstan

Sokolova E., Smirnov S., Khromykh S.

摘要

This paper presents a study of ongonites from the Chechek and Akhmirovo dike belts located within the Kalba—Narym batholith in Eastern Kazakhstan. The obtained conclusions are based on the investigations of melt and fluid inclusion in quartz phenocrysts, supplemented by mineralogical and geochemical data. It was established that the dike rocks were formed by crystallization of volatile-rich rare-metal melts in the presence of an aqueous fluid phase with subordinate amounts of carbon dioxide and methane. The ongonites crystallized from three geochemically different melts. Porphyritic phenocrysts in the ongonites of the Chechek and Akhmirovo dike belts crystallized at close temperatures 560–605°C and pressure of 3.6–5.3 kbar. Ongonite magmas that formed the Chechek and Akhmirovo dike belts had a high ore potential. However, degassing dynamics was not favorable for the development of metasomatism and formation of hydrothermal mineralization at the level of dike emplacement. The area of the rare-metal magmatism represented by ongonite dikes and rare-metal granite pegmatites has been distinguished in the northern part of the Kalba—Narym zone. The formation of rare-metal magmas was related to the differentiation in large granitoid chambers under the effect of juvenile fluids derived from the Tarim mantle plume.

Geodynamics and sources of preaccretionary magmatism in western Mongolia

Kovalenko D., Lebedev V., Mongush A., Sat K., Ageeva O., Koval’chuk E.

摘要

The paper reports original isotopic and geochemical data on Early Precambrian lavas in the Ozernaya Zone in Mongolia. According to their normalized trace-element patterns, the rocks are classified into the following groups: (1) rocks similar to N-MORB; (2) rocks similar to E-MORB; (3) basalts enriched in trace elements, with HFSE minima; and (4) basalts depleted in trace elements, with HFSE minima. All of the lava types could be produced in an island arc—backarc basin system. The magmatic rocks of group (1) were likely formed in a spreading backarc basin, and those of group (2) were likely generated within the influ- ence zone of a hotspot or were derived from heterogeneous upper mantle domains. The lavas of group (3) seem to be fragments of an ensimatic, relatively primitive island arc. The basalts and basaltic andesites of group (4) were likely produced by mixing melts of groups (1) and (3). The fact that lavas of groups (1) and (4) sometimes intercalate within a single stratigraphic section suggests that the extension and subduction zones were closely spaced and operated simultaneously. The magmas of groups (1), (2), and (3) were derived from different mantle sources, which possessed different ratios of trace elements and were different in isotopic composition.

Granitoid magmatism of the Japan and Okhotsk seas

Lelikov E., Pugachev A.

摘要

This paper presents a study of Middle Paleozoic, Late Paleozoic, Early Cretaceous, and Early—Late Cretaceous granitoid complexes from two Pacific marginal seas. The granitoid complexes are subdivided into two large groups: (1) mantle-crust derivatives, including andesite differentiates, and (2) crustal palingenetic granites. In terms of formation depth, they are subdivided into abyssal, mesoabyssal, and hypabyssal granites, with decreasing depth from the old to young complexes. It was established that the granitoids of different genesis have peculiar geochemical features. The granitoids of distinguished genetic types differ in the content and proportions of alkalis, primarily, K, as well as Rb, Sr, and Ba. The palingenetic granites show the predominance of K over Na and are classified as high-K calc-alkaline rocks, whereas andesitic derivatives correspond to the calc-alkaline rocks. The former are characterized by the higher Rb and Ba contents, which is related to the geochemical affinity of these elements to K. In contrast, the Okhotsk Sea rocks are characterized by the predominance of Na over K, the elevated Sr content, and the lower Ba and Rb contents. In terms of geodynamic setting, the studied granitoids fall in the field of volcanic arcs and syncollisional rocks. The latters are represented by the palingenetic granitoids of the Sea of Japan.
