The prevalence of kilometer-scale heterogeneity in the source region of MORB upper mantle
The source regions of mid-ocean ridge basalts (MORB) are heterogeneous, consisting of chemically and lithologically distinct domains of variable size. Partial melting of such heterogeneous mantle sources gives rise to diverse isotopic compositions of MORB and abyssal peridotites. Variations in radiogenic isotope ratios in MORB are attributed to mixing of melts derived from enriched and depleted...
متن کاملSimilar V/Sc Systematics in MORB and Arc Basalts: Implications for the Oxygen Fugacities of their Mantle Source Regions
V/Sc systematics in peridotites, mid-ocean ridge basalts and arc basalts are investigated to constrain the variation of fO2 in the asthenospheric mantle. V/Sc ratios are used here to ‘ see through’ those processes that can modify barometric fO2 determinations in mantle rocks and/or magmas: early fractional crystallization, degassing, crustal assimilation and mantle metasomatism. Melting models ...
متن کاملStrontium Isotopic Anomalies in the Allende Meteorite
We report Sr isotope anomalies in two Ca·Al-rich inclusions (EKl-4-1 and Cl) of the Allende meteoritewhichalsocontainanomaliesin 0, Mg, Ca, Ba, Nd and Sm. The Sr effects correspond to 84 Sr or 88 Sr deficits of 3.2"too and 0.8%o or to 86 Sr excesses of 1.6%o and 0.4"too. Although it cannot be ascertained in which isotope the anomalies reside, arguments based on the 8 7 Sr abundance indicate tha...
متن کاملMajor and Trace Element Composition of the Depleted MORB Mantle (DMM)
We derive an estimate for the chemical composition of the depleted MORB mantle (DMM), the source reservoir to mid-ocean ridge basalts (MORBs), which represents at least 30% the mass of the whole silicate Earth. A database for the chemical and physical properties of abyssal peridotites has become robust and complete enough to truly access a reference DMM. Using trace element depletion trends fro...
متن کاملChalcophile behavior of thallium during MORB melting and implications for the sulfur content of the mantle
We present new laser ablation ICP-MS trace element concentration data for 28 elements in 97 mid-ocean ridge basalt (MORB) glasses that cover all major spreading centers as well as Tl concentration data for all mineral phases in five lherzolites from the Lherz massif, France. The ratio between the elements thallium (Tl) and cerium (Ce) is nearly constant in MORB, providing evidence that the depl...
