内蒙古柯单山蛇绿岩地幔橄榄岩铂族元素(PGEs)的分布特征及分异机制探讨

采用Carius管结合MC-ICPMS法分析了内蒙古柯单山蛇绿岩地幔橄榄岩中Ir、Ru、 Pt 和Pd 的含量,与典型的地幔橄榄岩进行对比研究,发现柯单山地幔橄榄岩中Ir和Ru明显亏损,Pt和Pd强烈富集,具有极高的Pd/Ir值,PGEs地幔标准化配分模式具有较陡的正斜率,明显不同于通常观测到的代表部分熔融残留相中铂族元素配分模式(负斜率或平坦型)。柯单山地幔橄榄岩的Ir和Ru与MgO呈正相关关系,表明Ir和Ru的亏损可能与部分熔融过程中硫化物的消耗程度有关,而与PGEs在硫化物/硅酸盐间的能斯特分配系数没有直接关系; Pt、Pd的富集表明本区的地幔橄榄岩不仅仅是经历过部分熔融的残余,而与来自深海的橄榄岩和大陆岩石圈地幔(SCLM)中的方辉橄榄岩相似,因此推测,本区地幔橄榄岩在部分熔融后又经历了富Pd的熔/流体交代,而熔/流体的来源可能是在岩浆分异演化过程中"熔离"出来的硫化物。     

西藏路曲蛇绿岩地幔橄榄岩的贵金属元素地球化学特征

雅鲁藏布江蛇绿岩带是冈瓦纳板块与欧亚板块汇聚的几条主要缝合带之一。路曲蛇绿岩位于雅鲁藏布江蛇绿岩带中部，分析了路曲蛇绿岩中橄榄岩的铂族元素（PGE）和Au的含量，其CE 量是原始地幔的1.7-3.3倍，相对于Ir而言，岩石的Pd,Pt含量较高，变化也较大，P/Ir,Pd/Pt比值明显高于球粒陨石的比值。PGE对原始地幔标准化模式呈正斜率型，地幔橄榄岩中CaO和Al2O3分别为0.30%-1.20%和0.04%-0.42%。说明路曲橄榄岩形成于亏损型地幔，Al2O3与Pt,Pd具有比Ir组PGE（IPGE，包括Os,Ir和Ru)更好的正相关关系，说明地幔岩中Al2O3的亏损使PGE之间发生了分异作用，但这种分异作用并不显著，地幔橄榄岩的稀土元素含量为原始地幔的约1／8，稀土元素的（La/Yb)N值为0.71-4.42，平均1.51,(La/Sm)s值为0.123-19.2,平均6.55;(Gd/Yb)s为0.023-2.64，平均0.28，推测在本区地幔岩受到过交代作用的影响，这种交 有较高的REE，PGE含量和高的Pd组PGE（PPGE，包括Pt和Pd)含量，结果可以形成路曲特征PGE含量的地幔岩。     

西藏达巴—休古嘎布绿岩带铂族元素的分布特征

区内各岩体的地幔橄榄岩中PGE含量及分布型式有所差异.相对于原始地幔,拉昂错和东坡岩体的PGE含量没有显著异常,标准化分布曲线大致平坦,PPGE与IPGE之间分馏不明显,总体特征与中国日喀则地区以及阿尔卑斯和东地中海地区的地幔橄榄岩相似.而当穷岩体的PPGE含量变化范围较大,出现IPGE与PPGE强分馏.单斜辉石岩脉的PGE含量及分布型式与地幔橄榄岩不同:Os、Ir、Ru、Rh亏损而Pt、Pd富集,模式曲线向左倾斜,可能反映其较高程度部分熔融作用和熔体分离作用的产物.铬铁矿石的PGE含量较高,而且变化幅度大(19.7×10-9～5526×10-9),各样品∑PGE平均值(729.33×10-9)是原始地幔的25.6倍.与原始地幔相比,Os、Ir、Ru、Rh总体上表现为较强富集,Pt、Pd富集与亏损并存.其标准化模式曲线较分散,曲线向右倾斜,IPGE与PPGE分馏较强,多数样品呈现Pt负异常.这些特点与中国罗布莎、希腊、南斯拉夫以及塞浦路斯等世界各地蛇绿岩中的铬铁矿床类似.铬铁矿石的PGE含量与相应样品的BMS含量无相关性,PGE不是主要赋存于BMs内.推测PGE主要以PGM的形式存在,具体矿物名称有待进一步发现与研究.     

化学地球动力学中的铂族元素地球化学

对球粒陨石和地幔样品来讲,Ru,Rh,Pd,Os,Ir和Pt等贵金属元素的含量比值在一定程度上是相同的,但是在地幔样品中它们的含量实际上比球粒陨石低大约2个数量级,因此提出了核幔分离之后地球增生过程的“后增薄层”假说。数百公里尺度地幔橄榄岩的PEG分布的不均一性除被认为由于增生阶段的不均一造成外,更可能是由于地幔形成之后的地幔过程、核－幔及壳－幔相互作用造成。部分熔融、岩浆结晶分异（特别是硫化物、金属相析离）、流体（包括岩浆）／岩石相互作用等造成了大型俯冲带、造山带中地幔橄榄岩、蛇绿岩和杂岩体的PGE分异,也是形成铬铁矿,大型贵金属矿床的主要机制。     

地幔部分熔融程度对东天山镁铁质-超镁铁质岩铂族元素矿化的约束——以图拉尔根和香山铜镍矿为例

东天山二叠纪镁铁质-超镁铁质岩带发育一系列的Ni-Cu硫化物矿床,但铂族元素(PGE)在这些矿化的岩体中没有明显地富集,岩体中PGE含量普遍低于原始地幔标准值.岩体中PGE含量过低可能有两方面原因:(1)岩浆上升过程中硫化物过早熔离,带走了岩浆中的大部分PGE;(2)原始地幔部分熔融程度较低,大部分PGE仍然保存在残留原始地幔中,导致部分熔融岩浆中PGE元素含量很低.本文模拟计算了原始地幔发生5%～20%部分熔融时产生岩浆中的PGE含量,与香山、图拉尔根为例与现有岩体中的PGE含量进行对比,结果显示PGE含量过低的原因可能是由于地幔部分熔融程度较低造成的,并推测本区的原始岩浆来自上地幔10%～20%的部分熔融.在通道系统内硫化物富集的部位可形成较好的(Pt Pd)矿化.图拉尔根矿区Pd-Ni图显示在岩浆演化早期没有发生过硫化物的熔离作用,熔离的硫化物也没有经历结晶分异作用.     

黔西地区峨眉山玄武岩（东岩区）铂族元素地球化学特征

利用同位素稀释-等离子体质谱(ICP-MS)方法测定了黔西水域、威宁等地的东岩区峨眉山玄武岩的铂族元素含量。结果表明，相对于原始地幔，东岩区峨眉山玄武岩的铂族元素发生了较强的分异作用，Os、Ir、Ru、Rh亏损，Pd、Pt发生富集，相对配分模式为Pd-Pt富集型；经球粒陨石及原始地幔标准化的铂族元素配分模式为向左陡倾斜型，具有陡的正斜率，Pd／Ir显著高于原始地幔、球粒陨石、原始上地幔等，而与地幔低度熔融形成的N-MORB、大陆拉斑玄武岩等接近，表明峨眉山玄武岩的物质来源为上地幔熔融程度偏低的玄武岩浆。     

四川攀枝花新元古代苦橄质岩脉的铂族元素地球化学特征

四川攀枝花地区出露有新元古代苦橄质岩脉。本文研究表明这些苦橄质岩脉的铂族元素(PGE)含量较高(19.7~29.0 ng/g),原始地幔标准化后的PGE分布模式呈Pt-Pd富集型,Pd/Ir值(5.64~11.33)与高镁玄武岩和科马提岩相似。同时,这些岩石显示在形成过程中没有经历硫化物和PGE合金矿物的熔离,其原始岩浆起源于地幔较高程度的部分熔融,可能与地幔柱的影响有关。通过扣除铬尖晶石和橄榄石结晶分异对PGE造成的影响,得到原始岩浆的PGE组成特征为Ir、Ru、Rh相对于Pt、Pd明显亏损,在源区已无硫化物存在的条件下,这很可能是由于地幔部分熔融过程中有IPGE合金矿物残留在地幔源区。攀枝花地区苦橄质岩脉可能与该地区冷水箐Cu-Ni硫化物矿床具有相似的原始岩浆组成。     

西藏雅鲁藏布江缝合带泽当地幔橄榄岩的矿物化学和铂族元素特征

泽当蛇绿岩位于雅鲁藏布江缝合带东段,由地幔橄榄岩、辉长辉绿岩、火山岩等组成。地幔橄榄岩主要为方辉橄榄岩和二辉橄榄岩,有少量的铬铁矿化方辉橄榄岩和透镜状纯橄岩。地幔橄榄岩中橄榄石的Fo值为89.6~91.8,属镁橄榄石。斜方辉石为顽火辉石,En端员组分变化于87.8~90.3。单斜辉石En组分变化于44.1~50.0,主要为顽透辉石和透辉石。二辉橄榄岩与方辉橄榄岩铬尖晶石的Cr#为17.0~31.8,为富铝型尖晶石。泽当地幔橄榄岩PGE总量为16.67×10-9~32.59×10-9,与原始地幔相似。矿物化学特征显示泽当二辉橄榄岩属于深海型地幔橄榄岩,方辉橄榄岩属于弧前地幔橄榄岩。尖晶石Cr#、橄榄石Mg#的变化以及高Os含量(3.50×10-9~7.75×10-9)表明泽当地幔橄榄岩经历了部分熔融过程;正斜率的PGE配分模式以及较高的Pd/Ir值(1.09~3.94)表明泽当地幔橄榄岩受到了俯冲带环境下地幔交代作用的改造。泽当地幔橄榄岩矿物学特征与铂族元素地球化学特征显示其形成于MOR环境,后受到SSZ环境的改造。     

四川冕宁稀土矿床碳酸岩PGE地球化学初步研究

报道了四川冕宁稀土矿床碳酸岩7件样品的PGE和Au含量分析结果,其含量(wB/10-9)范围分别为Ir 0.5～0.78,Ru 1.61～6.75,Rh 0.08～0.14,Pt 2.62～12.15,Pd 1.11～3.65和Au 1.24～8.61.原始地幔标准化的PGE模式呈Ru、Pt、Pd相对富集和Ir、Rh相对亏损的“燕子型“.分析认为,碳酸岩具有一定携带PGE的能力;本区碳酸岩具“燕子型“PGE配分模式可能是其源区地幔PGE配分模式的反演;深源富CO2流体交代作用原始地幔可能是形成其“燕子型“PGE配分模式主要因素.     

雅鲁藏布江缝合带西段错不扎地幔橄榄岩铂族元素特征

对位于雅鲁藏布江缝合带西段北亚带错不扎地幔橄榄岩铂族元素地球化学特征进行研究,旨在对其岩石成因和构造环境进行限定。错不扎地幔橄榄岩以方辉橄榄岩和含单辉方辉橄榄岩为主。含单辉方辉橄榄岩具有较高的铂族元素(PGEs)含量,w(PGEs)=22.31×10~(-9)~36.12×10~(-9),平均值为29.60×10~(-9),高于原始地幔含量;而方辉橄榄岩的w(PGEs)处于17.34×10~(-9)~25.18×10~(-9)之间,平均值为21.08×10~(-9),略低于原始地幔值。相对岩浆成因超基性岩,两岩类皆强烈富Os和Ir,为部分熔融后残余的地幔体。含单辉-方辉橄榄岩及部分方辉橄榄岩含较高的Pd,(Pd/Ir)m比值远大于1,具左倾型PGE组成模式,而且两者都具有低于原始地幔的Cu/Pd比值。综合研究表明错不扎方辉橄榄岩是熔融程度较低的含单辉-方辉橄榄岩继续部分熔融后的残余;两者在部分熔融过程中可能存在部分赋存Pd的硫化物未完全溶解进入硅酸盐熔体,此后又受到俯冲带岩浆渗滤形成的富硫化物熔体的改造。     

Osmium isotope and highly siderophile element geochemistry of mantle xenoliths from NW Turkey: implications for melt depletion and metasomatic history of the sub-continental lithospheric mantle

Ultramafic xenoliths entrained in the late Miocene alkali basalts and basanites from NW Turkey include refractory spinel-harzburgites and dunites accompanied by subordinate spinel-lherzolites. Whole-rock major and trace element characteristics indicate that the xenoliths are mostly the solid residues of varying degrees of partial melting (～4–～15%), but some have geochemical signatures reflecting the processes of melt/rock interaction. Mantle-normalized trace element patterns for the peridotites vary from LREE-depleted to strongly LREE-enriched, reflecting multistage mantle processes from simple melt extraction to metasomatic enrichment. Rhenium and platinum group element (PGE) abundances and ¹⁸⁷Os/¹⁸⁸Os systematics of peridotites were examined in order to identify the nature of the mantle source and the processes effective during variable stages of melt extraction within the sub-continental lithospheric mantle (SCLM). The peridotites are characterized by chondritic Os/Ir and Pt/Ir ratios and slightly supra-chondritic Pd/Ir and Rh/Ir ratios, representing a mantle region similar in composition to the primitive mantle (PM). Moderate enrichment in PPGE (Pd–Pt–Rh)/IPGE (Ir–Os–Ru) ratios with respect to the PM composition in the metasomatized samples, however, reflects compositional modification by sulphide addition during possible post-melting processes. The ¹⁸⁷Os/¹⁸⁸Os ratios of the peridotites range from 0.11801 to 0.12657. Highly unradiogenic Os isotope compositions (γOs at 10 Ma from –7.0 to –3.2) in the chemically undisturbed mantle residues are accompanied by depletion in Re/Os ratios, suggesting long-term differentiation of SCLM by continuous melt extraction. For the metasomatized peridotites, however, systematic enrichments in PPGE and Re abundances, and the observed positive covariance between ¹⁸⁷Re/¹⁸⁸Os and γOs can most likely be explained by interaction of solid residues with basaltic melts produced by melting of relatively more radiogenic components in the mantle. Significantly, the wide range of ¹⁸⁷Os/¹⁸⁸Os ratios characterizing the entire xenolith suite seems to be consistent with multistage evolution of SCLM and suggests that parts of the lithospheric mantle contain materials that have experienced ancient melt removal (～1.3 Ga) which created time-integrated depletion in Re/Os ratios; in contrast, some other parts display evidence indicative of recent perturbation in the Re–Os system by sulphide addition during interaction with metasomatizing melts.     

Platinum-group elements distribution and spinel composition in podiform chromitites and associated rocks from the upper mantle section of the Neoproterozoic Bou Azzer ophiolite, Anti-Atlas, Morocco

The distribution of platinum-group elements (PGEs), together with spinel composition, of podiform chromitites and serpentinized peridotites were examined to elucidate the nature of the upper mantle of the Neoproterozoic Bou Azzer ophiolite, Anti-Atlas, Morocco. The mantle section is dominated by harzburgite with less abundant dunite. Chromitite pods are also found as small lenses not exceeding a few meters in size. Almost all primary silicates have been altered, and chromian spinel is the only primary mineral that survived alteration. Chromian spinel of chromitites is less affected by hydrothermal alteration than that of mantle peridotites. All chromitite samples of the Bou Azzer ophiolite display a steep negative slope of PGE spidergrams, being enriched in Os, Ir and Ru, and extremely depleted in Pt and Pd. Harzburgites and dunites usually have intermediate to low PGE contents showing more or less unfractionated PGE patterns with conspicuous positive anomalies of Ru and Rh. Two types of magnetite veins in serpentinized peridotite, type I (fibrous) and type II (octahedral), have relatively low PGE contents, displaying a generally positive slope from Os to Pd in the former type, and positive slope from Os to Rh then negative from Rh to Pd in the latter type. These magnetite patterns demonstrate their early and late hydrothermal origin, respectively. Chromian spinel composition of chromitites, dunites and harzburgites reflects their highly depleted nature with little variations; the Cr# is, on average, 0.71, 0.68 and 0.71, respectively. The TiO₂ content is extremely low in chromian spinels, <0.10, of all rock types. The strong PGE fractionation of podiform chromitites and the high-Cr, low-Ti character of spinel of all rock types imply that the chromitites of the Bou Azzer ophiolite were formed either from a high-degree partial melting of primitive mantle, or from melting of already depleted mantle peridotites. This kind of melting is most easily accomplished in the supra-subduction zone environment, indicating a genetic link with supra-subduction zone magma, such as high-Mg andesite or arc tholeiite. This is a general feature in the Neoproterozoic upper mantle.     

The Concentration of the Platinum-Group Elements in South African Komatiites: Implications for Mantle Sources, Melting Regime and PGE Fractionation during Crystallization

We have analysed 18 samples of komatiite from five consecutivelava flows of the Komati Formation at Spinifex Creek, BarbertonMountain Land. Our samples include massive komatiite, varioustypes of spinifex-textured komatiite, and flow-top breccias.The rocks have low platinum-group element (PGE) contents andPd/Ir ratios relative to komatiites from elsewhere, at 0·45–2ppb Os, 1–1·4 ppb Ir, <1–5 ppb Ru, 0·33–0·79ppb Rh, 1·7–6 ppb Pt, 1·6–6·1ppb Pd, and Pd/Ir 3·3. Pt/Pd ratios are c. 1·1.Platinum-group elements are depleted relative to Cu (Cu/Pd =15 300). They display a tendency to increase in the less magnesiansamples, suggesting that the magmas were S-undersaturated uponeruption and that all PGE were incompatible with respect tocrystallizing olivine. Komatiites from the Westonaria Formationof the Ventersdorp Supergroup and the Roodekrans Complex nearJohannesburg have broadly similar PGE patterns and concentrationsto the Komati rocks, suggesting that the PGE contents of SouthAfrican ultrabasic magmas are controlled by similar processesduring partial mantle melting and low-P magmatic crystallization.Most workers believe that the Barberton komatiites formed byrelatively moderate-degree batch melting of the mantle at highpressure. Based on the concentration of Zr in the Komati samples,we estimate that the degree of partial melting was between 26and 33%. We suggest that the low PGE contents and Pd/Ir ratiosof all analysed South African komatiites are the result of sulphideshaving been retained in the mantle source during partial melting.The difference in Pd/Ir between our samples and Al-undepletedkomatiites from elsewhere further suggests that the PGE arefractionated during progressive partial melting of the mantle.Thus, our data are in agreement with other recent studies showingthat the PGE are hosted by different phases in the mantle, withPd being concentrated by interstitial Cu-rich sulphide, andthe IPGE (Os, Ir, Ru) and Rh resting in monosulphide solid solutionincluded within silicates. Pt is possibly controlled by a discreterefractory phase, as Pt/Pd ratios of most komatiites worldwideare sub-chondritic.

Significance of ancient sulfide PGE and Re–Os signatures in the mantle beneath Calatrava,Central Spain

Spinel lherzolite and wehrlite xenoliths from the Cenozoic Calatrava volcanic field carry the geochemical imprint of metasomatic agents that have affected the subcontinental lithospheric mantle beneath Central Iberia. Some xenoliths (mainly wehrlites) were enriched in REE, Sr, P, and CO₂ by silicic-carbonate-rich metasomatic melts/fluids, while others record the effects of subduction-related hydrous silicate fluids that have precipitated amphibole and induced high Ti/Eu in primary clinopyroxene. The petrographic observations and geochemical data suggest that interstitial glass in the xenoliths represent the quenched products of Si-rich melts that infiltrated the mantle peridotite shortly before the entrainment of the xenoliths in the host magmas that erupted ca 2 million years ago. During their infiltration, the metasomatic melts reacted with peridotite, resulting in silica enrichment, while remobilizing grains of iron-rich monosulfide solid solution (Fe-rich Mss) initially enclosed in, or intergranular to, primary olivine and pyroxenes. In situ laser ablation inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry analysis of single sulfide grains reveals that the Fe-rich Mss in glass shows platinum-group element (PGE) patterns and ¹⁸⁷Os/¹⁸⁸Os compositions identical to the Fe-rich Mss occurring as inclusions in, or at grain boundaries of primary silicates. Moreover, independent of its microstructural position, Fe-rich Mss exhibits PGE and ¹⁸⁷Os/¹⁸⁸Os signatures typical of Mss either residual after partial melting or crystallized directly from sulfide melts. Our findings reveal that young metasomatic melt(s)/fluid(s) may carry remobilized sulfides with PGE and Os-isotopic signatures identical to those of texturally older sulfides in the peridotite xenolith. These sulfides thus still provide useful information about the timing and nature of older magmatic events in the subcontinental mantle.     

Platinum-group element geochemistry of peridotite xenoliths from the Sierra Nevada and the Basin and Range, California

The nature of PGE-Re (PGE = Pt, Pd, Os, Ir, Ru) behavior in subcontinental lithospheric mantle was investigated using new, high precision PGE-Re abundance measurements and previously published Re-Os isotopic analyses of peridotite xenoliths from the Sierra Nevada and Mojave Province, California. Ru/Ir ratios and Ir concentrations are constant over a wide range in S content and major-element fertility indices (e.g., Mg/(Mg+Fe)), indicating that Ru and Ir are not only compatible during partial melting, but also that their partitioning behaviors may not be controlled entirely by sulfide. Pt/Ir, Pd/Ir, Os/Ir, and Re/Ir ratios range from slightly superchondritic to distinctly subchondritic for all xenoliths except for one anomalous sample (1026V), which is characterized by radiogenic ¹⁸⁷Os/¹⁸⁸Os, low Re/Os ratio, and large enrichments in Cu, Os, Pt, Pd, and S relative to Ir (COPPS metasomatism). Assuming chondritic initial relative abundances, the magnitudes of some of the depletions in Pt, Pd, Os, and Re relative to Ir and Ru require incompatible behavior or substantial secondary loss. In detail, some samples, which are otherwise characterized by fertile major-element indices, exhibit low S contents and subchondritic Os/Ir and Pd/Ir ratios, indicating that depletions in Pd and Os relative to Ir are not simple functions of the degree of melting as inferred from major elements. Possible mechanisms for depleting Pt, Pd, Os, and Re relative to Ir and Ru include partitioning into chromian spinels and alloys, partitioning between sulfide and sulfide liquids, mobilization by aqueous fluids, or secondary loss associated with late-stage sulfide breakdown. However, it is not possible to explain all of the depletions in Pt, Pd, Os, and Re by any single mechanism.The preferential enrichment in Os over Re and Ir in sample 1026V is somewhat paradoxical because this sample’s radiogenic ¹⁸⁷Os/¹⁸⁸Os requires a metasomatic agent, originating from a source with a high time-integrated Re/Os ratio. The abundant garnet websterite xenoliths may be a suitable source because they have high Re/Os ratios, radiogenic Os, and abundant garnet, which may sequester Re over Os during partial melting. However, their extremely low Os contents require the processing of large amounts of garnet websterite to concentrate enough Os into the metasomatic sulfides needed to enrich sample 1026V in Os. The homogeneity in ¹⁸⁷Os/¹⁸⁸Os ratio in the remaining xenoliths suggest that their Os isotopic compositions were not significantly affected by PGE metasomatism. The singular nature of 1026V’s composition emphasizes the rarity of COPPS metasomatism.     

Enrichment of Platinum-group Elements (PGE) and Re-Os Isotopic Tracing for Porphyry Copper (Gold) Deposits

Platinum-group elements （PGE） in PGE-rich porphyry copper （gold） deposits are mainly Pt and Pd, whereas the concentrations of other PGE （Ru, Rh, Os, Ir） are significantly low. Moreover, Pt and Pd mainly exist in sulfides in the forms of crystal lattice or tiny platinum-group mineral （PGM） inclusions. The present data show that there is a positive relationship between Pt and Pd concentrations and Cu （Au） in porphyry copper （gold） deposits. The comparison of chondrite-normalized PGE distribution patterns between the ore-bearing porphyry intrusions and ore-barren porphyry intrusions in arc setting, 187^Os/188^Os, 87^Sr/86^Sr and S isotopes for porphyry copper （gold） deposits shows that PGEs were mainly derived from the mantle, and fluids from subduction zones devoted trivial PGE to the magma. The porphyry copper （gold） deposits associated with subducted events are most probably enriched in PGE, whereas those related to crustal thickening, lithospheric delamination or underplating rarely concentrate PGE. The osmium isotopic compositions in porphyry copper （gold） deposits reveal that （187^Os/188^Os）i values are highly variable and not lower than those of primitive upper mantle （PUM） and mantle peridotite, however, osmium concentrations are commonly lower than mantle peridotite, suggesting that parental magmas of some porphyry intrusions had experienced crustal contamination during magma evolution. Experimental investigations have proved that PGE exist in the forms of Cl^- and HS^- complexes during transportation and migration of the oreforming fluids. This paper summarizes previous studies including crucial controlling factors and mechanisms for PGE enrichment, and points out that the mantle-derived magmas parental to porphyry intrusions are the prerequisite for PGE enrichment in porphyry copper （gold） deposits. Favorable physical and chemical conditions （including salinity, temperature, pressure, pH, and oxygen fugacity） in hydrothermal fluids crucially control the     

塔里木大火成岩省瓦吉里塔格霞石岩铂族元素地球化学特征

作为塔里木大火成岩省形成最晚的火成岩,新疆巴楚瓦吉里塔格霞石岩的岩浆源区性质的确定对于揭示塔里木大火成岩省的深部地质过程具有重要的约束作用。对瓦吉里塔格霞石岩的铂族元素地球化学特征进行了研究,铂族元素(PGE)分析结果显示,原始地幔标准化的PGE呈正斜率型分布,且Pd/Ir值高于原始地幔比值,说明霞石岩的铂族元素发生了分异。霞石岩全岩的PGE与Mg O呈正相关,Pd/Ir、Cu/Pd与Mg O则呈负相关,说明PGE的分异主要受到橄榄石的结晶分异作用控制,也是其Cu/Pd值极高及岩浆S饱和的因素之一,同时Cu/Pd值说明霞石岩岩浆为硫饱和岩浆,但是没有因素导致岩浆S过饱和进而发生硫化物的熔离。与其他大火成岩省岩石相比,瓦吉里塔格霞石岩极度亏损PGE,SCSS(硫承载量)计算结果表明母岩浆在形成之初就发生S过饱和,主要是地幔低程度部分熔融造成的,据此认为地幔源区的部分熔融程度在塔里木大火成岩省Cu-Ni硫化物铂族元素矿床形成过程中起着至关重要的作用。     

Geochemical Records of Mantle Processes in Mantle Xenoliths from Three Cenozoic Basaltic Volcanoes in Eastern China

Rare earth element (REE) contents, and Sr and Nd isotopic compositions were measured for three suites of mantle xenoliths from the Kuandian, Hannuoba and Huinan volcanoes in the north of the Sino-Korean Platform. From the correlations of Yb contents with Al/Si and Ca/Si ratios, the peridotites are considered to be the residues of partial melting of the primitive mantle. The chondrite-normalized REE compositions are diverse, varying from strongly LREE-depleted to LREE-enriched, with various types of REE patterns. Metasomatic alteration by small-volume silicate melts, of mantle peridotites previously variably depleted due to fractional melting in the spinel peridotite field, can account for the diversity of REE patterns. The Sr/ Ba versus La/Ba correlation indicates that the metasomatic agent was enriched in Ba over Sr and La, suggestive of its volatile-rich signature and an origin by fluid-triggered melting in an ancient subduction zone. The Sr and Nd isotopic compositions of these xenoliths, even from     

Evolution of subcontinental lithospheric mantle beneath eastern China: Re–Os isotopic evidence from mantle xenoliths in Paleozoic kimberlites and Mesozoic basalts

The ages of subcontinental lithospheric mantle beneath the North China and South China cratons are less well-constrained than the overlying crust. We report Re–Os isotope systematics of mantle xenoliths entrained in Paleozoic kimberlites and Mesozoic basalts from eastern China. Peridotite xenoliths from the Fuxian and Mengyin Paleozoic diamondiferous kimberlites in the North China Craton give Archean Re depletion ages of 2.6–3.2 Ga and melt depletion ages of 2.9–3.4 Ga. No obvious differences in Re and Os abundances, Os isotopic ratios and model ages are observed between spinel-facies and garnet-facies peridotites from both kimberlite localities. The Re–Os isotopic data, together with the PGE concentrations, demonstrate that beneath the Archean continental crust of the eastern North China Craton, Archean lithospheric mantle of spinel- to diamond-facies existed without apparent compositional stratification during the Paleozoic. The Mesozoic and Cenozoic basalt-borne peridotite and pyroxenite xenoliths, on the other hand, show geochemical features indicating metasomatic enrichment, along with a large range of the Re–Os isotopic model ages from Proterozoic to Phanerozoic. These features indicate that lithospheric transformation or refertilization through melt-peridotite interaction could be the primary mechanism for compositional changes during the Phanerozoic, rather than delamination or thermal-mechanical erosion, despite the potential of these latter processes to play an important role for the loss of garnet-facies mantle. A fresh garnet lherzolite xenolith from the Yangtze Block has a Re depletion age of ∼1.04 Ga, much younger than overlying Archean crustal rocks but the same Re depletion ages as spinel lherzolite xenoliths from adjacent Mesozoic basalts, indicating Neoproterozoic resetting of the Re–Os system in the South China Craton.
