Rare Earth Contribution to the Origin of Hawaiian Lavas
Rare earth abundances were determined by neutron activation in twenty Hawaiian lavas and one diabase of known chemical and mineralogical compositions. These results demonstrate a systematic relationship between the absolute or relative rare earth abundances and the petroehemistry of these rocks. Three distinct lava groups are recognized. These correspond to: (1) tholeiites, (2) alkali series, (...
متن کاملPetrogenesis of Hawaiian postshield lavas: Evidence from Nintoku Seamount, Emperor Seamount Chain
[1] We report major and trace element and Sr and Nd isotope data for a 283 m thick sequence of postshield lavas drilled during Ocean Drilling Project Leg 197 from Site 1205, Nintoku Seamount, an approximately 56 m.y. old volcano from the Emperor Seamount Chain. At least 25 subaerially erupted lava flow units were sampled, of which all but one are alkali basalts. Clasts of hawaiite and mugearite...
متن کاملGeochemical and Petrologic Systematics in Lavas from Haleakala Volcano, East Maui: Implications for the Evolution of Hawaiian Mantle
Haleakala volcano on East Maui, Hawaii, consists of a tholeiitic basalt shield which grades into a younger alkalic series that was followed by a post-erosional alkalic series. Fresh, stratigraphically controlled samples from the three volcanic series were analyzed for major element abundances, Sr and Nd isotopic ratios and trace element (K, Rb, Sr, Ba, Th, Ta, Nb, REE, Hf, Zr, Sc, V, Cr, Co, Ni...
متن کاملThe distinctive trace elements signature of the less-evolved MORB materials in the south of Birjand ophiolites
Mafic rocks including basalts and gabbros are the main constituents of Birjand ophiolites. They are found in several places and show low grade metamorphism in the field and under the microscope. Chondrite-normalized REE patterns for basalts and gabbros indicate that these rocks are transitional-enriched to depleted mid-oceanic ridge basalts respectively. Otherwise, N-MORB normalized trace eleme...
متن کاملRhenium and chalcophile elements in basaltic glasses from Ko’olau and Moloka’i volcanoes: Magmatic outgassing and composition of the Hawaiian plume
The behavior of chalcophile metals in volcanic environments is important for a variety of economic and environmental applications, and for understanding large-scale processes such as crustal recycling into the mantle. In order to better define the behavior of chalcophile metals in ocean island volcanoes, we measured the concentrations of Re, Cd, Bi, Cu, Pb, Zn, Pt, S, and a suite of major eleme...
