Peridotites Related to 4vesta: Deep Crustal Igneous Cumulates and Mantle
In advance of the arrival of the DAWN spacecraft at 4Vesta in 2011, it is useful to reassess our knowledge of the constitution and probable evolution of this ancient differentiated asteroid. It has been recognized for some time that the eucrite, diogenite and howardite meteorites likely represent samples from 4Vesta or from related Vestoids based upon the good match of reflectance spectra of th...
متن کاملGeochemistry and magmatic history of eclogites and ultramafic rocks from the Chinese continental scientific drill hole: Subduction and ultrahigh-pressure metamorphism of lower crustal cumulates
Three distinct groups of eclogites (low-Mg–Ti eclogites, high-Ti eclogites and Mg-rich eclogites) and ultramafic rocks from the depth interval of 100–680 m of the Chinese Continental Scientific Drill Hole were studied. The lowMg#s (=100⁎molar Mg/(Mg+Fe)) (81–84%) and low Ni (1150–1220 ppm) and high Fe2O3 total (13–15 wt.%) contents of ultramafic rocks suggest a cumulate origin. Mgrich eclogites...
متن کاملPossible emplacement of crustal rocks into the forearc mantle of the Cascadia Subduction Zone
[1] Seismic reflection profiles shot across the Cascadia forearc show that a 5–15 km thick band of reflections, previously interpreted as a lower crustal shear zone above the subducting Juan de Fuca plate, extends into the upper mantle of the North American plate, reaching depths of at least 50 km. In the extreme western corner of the mantle wedge, these reflectors occur in rocks with P wave ve...
متن کاملThe enigma of crustal zircons in upper-mantle rocks: Clues from the Tumut ophiolite, southeast Australia
We suggest a new explanation for the presence of crustally derived zircons in the upper-mantle rocks of ophiolitic complexes, as an alternative to subduction-related models. Integrated isotopic (U-Pb, Hf, and O isotopes) and trace-element data for zircons from the Tumut ophiolitic complex (southeast Australia) indicate that these grains are related to granitic magmatism and were introduced into...
متن کاملOrigin of Lherzolitic Peridotites in Ab-Bid Ultramafic Complex (Hormozgan Province); Products of Mantle Metasomatism or Partial Melting Processes?
Lherzolite is one of the main units in the Ab-Bid ultramafic complex from Esfandagheh-HadjiAbad coloured mélange (South of Iran). The complex contains harzburgite, dunite, lherzolite and pyroxenite dykes and the lherzolites mainly occur in the margins. In the field, lherzolites occur as weakly foliated coarse-grained peridotites with shiny pyroxene grains and cut by neumerous pyroxenitic veins....
