Geochemistry and Tectonic Setting of Pleistocene Basaltic Lava Flows in the Shahre-Babak Area, NW of Kerman, Iran: Implication for the Evolution of Urumieh- Dokhtar Magmatic Assemblage
Pleistocene basaltic lava flows, consisting of trachybasalt and basaltic trachyandesite, cover an area north-northwest of Shahre-Babak in southeastern Iran. The whole rock chemistry indicates that the lavas are dominantly alkaline and mildly calc-alkaline. Variation diagrams of SiO2 with major and trace elements are consistent with fractional crystallization processes involving olivine, pyroxen...
متن کاملOxygen Isotopic Variations in the Clinopyroxene from the Filicudi Volcanic Rocks (Aeolian Islands, Italy): Implications for Open-System Magma Evolution
Oxygen isotope data are reported for clinopyroxene phenocrysts from volcanic rock samples from Filicudi island, Italy, with the aim of investigating mechanisms of magma evolution and mantle source characteristics in a continental arc volcano. Filicudi rocks range from calc-alkaline basalt to high-K andesite and dacite. Mafic rocks have MgO 6-7 wt%, Mg# 60, Ni < 50 ppm and Cr < 200 ppm, suggesti...
متن کاملویژگیهای ژئوشیمیایی و بافتی پلاژیوکلاز، شواهدی از فرایندهای وابسته به سیستمهای باز: بررسی موردی آتشفشان بزمان (جنوب شرق ایران)
Textural and Geochemical characteristics of plagioclase phenocrysts in Andesitic and basaltic rocks of Bazman volcano (from Makran volcanic arc) show evidence of interaction between basaltic and andesitic magmas. Plagioclase phenocrysts in andesites and basalts are composed of three major parts of core, mantle and rim, with similarity of the anorthite contents in cores and mantles. The cores of...
متن کاملPetrogenetic association of the oldest lunar basalts: Combined Rb–Sr isotopic and trace element constraints
We report a new radiometric Rb–Sr age determination of 4.0370.04 Ga for high-Al basaltic clast 14321,1353, which is a Group B Apollo 14 high-Al basalt based on its whole-rock incompatible-traceelement chemistry. In addition, available literature Rb–Sr isotope data for Apollo 14 high-Al basalts were reprocessed using the same decay constant and data reduction protocol as used for sample 14321,13...
متن کاملSub-lithospheric source for Quaternary alkaline Tepi shield, southwest Ethiopia
Mineral chemistry, major and trace elements and Sr-Nd isotopes are presented for basalts and trachybasalts from the Quaternary alkaline Tepi shield from southwest Ethiopia. The lavas are variably porphyritic with phenocrysts of olivine (Fo67–87), clinopyroxene (Wo45–47En38–40Fs13–16), plagioclase (An57–68) and Ti-magnetite set in a microcrystalline matrix. Although there are two high-MgO lavas ...
