Osmium-isotope variations in Hawaiian lavas: evidence for recycled oceanic lithosphere in the Hawaiian plume
Isotopic heterogeneity in Hawaiian shield lavas reflects the presence of two distinct recycled components in the Hawaiian plume, both from the same packet of recycled oceanic lithosphere. Radiogenic Os-isotopes and anomalously heavy oxygen-isotopes in Koolau lavas reflect melt generation from recycled oceanic crust plus pelagic sediment. In contrast, Kea lavas have unradiogenic Os-isotopes but ...
متن کاملشواهد شیمی کانی و ژئوشیمی سنگکل در آلودگی، دگرنهادی، و اختلاط ماگمایی توده گرانیتوئیدی اکاپُل (جنوب غرب کلاردشت، البرز مرکزی)
The crystal-chemistry of the plagioclase, alkali feldspar, biotite, amphibole and whole rock geochemistry of Akapol granitic massif are investigated in this paper. The chemical composition of biotites and amphiboles ploted in the annite-siderophyllite, magnesiohornblende and actinolite fields, respectively. Comparison of the chemical composition of biotites and amphiboles with similar minerals...
متن کاملThe statistical upper mantle assemblage
A fundamental challenge in modern mantle geochemistry is to link geochemical data with geological and geophysical observations. Most of the early geochemical models involved a layered mantle and the concept of geochemical reservoirs. Indeed, the two layer mantle model has been implicit in almost all geochemical literature and the provenance of oceanic island basalt (OIB) and mid-ocean ridge bas...
متن کاملPetrogenesis of mantle peridotites from the South of Jazmourian, Makran accretionary prism, Iran
Mantle peridotites exposed in south Jazmourian comprise of lherzolite and porphyroclastic Cpx-bearing harzburgite in the lower part with chromitite lenses in the upper parts. Petrography and microprobe studies shows evidence of melt-peridotite interactions; post melting processes and subsolidus interactions, which has been associated with appearance of two generations of deformed primary pyroxe...
متن کاملMixing in the Mantle by Plate - Scale Flow : Large Persistent Blobs
The stirring of a small, passive heterogeneity in an unsteady circulation is investigated by following the boundary of the heterogeneity; the circulation mimics features of plate-scale flow. After initial release, the heterogeneity is stirred and subsequently consists of at least one large "blob" connected to long, but thin tendrils. Tendrils exponentially lengthen and exponentially thin with t...
