SDLRC - Region: California - All


The Sheahan Diamond Literature Reference Compilation - Technical, Media and Corporate Articles based on Major Region - California
The Sheahan Diamond Literature Reference Compilation is compiled by Patricia Sheahan who publishes on a monthly basis a list of new scientific articles related to diamonds as well as media coverage and corporate announcements called the Sheahan Diamond Literature Service that is distributed as a free pdf to a list of followers. Pat has kindly agreed to allow her work to be made available as an online digital resource at Kaiser Research Online so that a broader community interested in diamonds and related geology can benefit. The references are for personal use information purposes only; when available a link is provided to an online location where the full article can be accessed or purchased directly. Reproduction of this compilation in part or in whole without permission from the Sheahan Diamond Literature Service is strictly prohibited. Return to Diamond Region Index

Each article reference in the SDLRC is tagged with one or more key words assigned by Pat Sheahan to highlight the main topics of the article. In addition most references have been tagged with one or more region words. In an effort to make it easier for users to track down articles related to a specific region, KRO has extracted these region words and developed a list of major region words presented in the Major Region Index to which individual region words used in the article reference have been assigned. Each individual Region Report contains in chronological order all the references with a region word associated with the Major Region word. Depending on the total for each reference type - technical, media and corporate - the references will be either in their own technical, media or corporate Region Report, or combined in a single report. Where there is a significant number of technical references there will be a technical report dedicated to the technical articles while the media and corporate references are combined in a separate region report. References that were added in the most recent monthly update are highlighted in yellow within the Region Report. The Major Region words have been defined by a scale system of "general", "continent", "country", "state or province" and "regional". Major Region words at the smaller scales have been created only when there are enough references to make isolating them worthwhile. References not tagged with a Region are excluded, and articles with a region word not matched with a Major Region show up in the "Unknown" report.

Abstract: Topographic evidence requires that some rivers actively meander in bedrock, yet the way in which rivers can erode laterally and meander within bedrock banks is not well understood. Lateral channel migration, and especially lateral channel migration via active bedrock meandering, is commonly responsible for the preservation of unpaired strath terraces. A process-level understanding of lateral channel migration and active meandering in bedrock rivers is key to interpreting the climatic and tectonic significance of unpaired strath terraces and the planform shape of bedrock rivers. In this study, we compare erosional processes in two adjacent bedrock channels in the Santa Cruz Mountains, California. The main differences between these channels are that Pescadero Creek actively meanders within mudstone, while Butano Creek is straight and incises sandstone. Laboratory rock strength and slake durability tests show that while the two lithologies have similar tensile strengths before drying, the meander-supporting mudstone loses strength dramatically when dried and rewet (slakes), while the sandstone does not. The slaked mudstone bank rock was easily detached without the need for bed-load tools during in situ erosion tests, while mudstone that had not dried and sandstone were not detachable. The depth of bank rock detached solely from rewetting of previously dried mudstone ranges between 1 and 8 mm, which is well in excess of annual background erosion in the Santa Cruz Mountains. In addition, boulders of the mudstone rapidly disintegrated upon wetting and drying in the laboratory, whereas sandstone boulders remained intact. In the meandering stream, there is a consistent pattern of scoured bedrock (exposed to drying and slaking) along the outside "cutbank" of meander bends and forced bars that grade into soil and vegetation, which protect the bedrock from slaking along the inside of bends. Additionally, in the meandering stream, subaerially exposed mudstone clasts are often found to be disintegrating on the surface of bars. Taken together, these observations suggest that slaking allows for bedrock meandering in two fundamental ways. First, by rapidly disintegrating coarse hillslope-derived sediment that is deposited in the channel, slaking suppresses the negative feedback on lateral channel migration that would otherwise result from the buildup of talus along a retreating bedrock valley wall on the outside of a meander bend. Second, at cutbanks where scour exposes bare bedrock to drying, slaking weakens a layer of bank rock to the point where it can be eroded by clear-water flows. In these ways, slaking enables erosion into bedrock banks in response to curvature-driven fluid shear stress perturbations, as in alluvial rivers.

Abstract: The southeast Mojave Desert hosts one of the world’s largest rare earth element (REE) deposits at Mountain Pass, California. Although surface geology has been studied, a full understanding of the carbonatite and associated intrusive suite complex requires subsurface geophysical characterization. In this study, a combination of geophysical methods, including magnetotelluric (MT), magnetics, and gravity are used to create a two-dimensional (2D) geophysical model to a depth of about 10 km. An electrically conductive body is found 2-3 km below and west of the deposit that is associated with a magnetic high that could be connected to a deeper (10 km) conductive body related to possible intrusions or hydrothermal systems. The carbonatite body coincides with a steep magnetic gradient and a bench or terrace in the gravity data that may reflect relative lower-density intrusive rocks. Although carbonatite rocks are typically magnetic, the carbonatite rocks, associated intrusive suite, and host rocks in this area are essentially non-magnetic. Combined geophysical data indicate that the enriched REE deposit may be related to a regional extensive hydrothermal alteration event.

Abstract: Rare earth element (REE) ore-bearing carbonatite dikes and a stock at Mountain Pass, California, are spatially associated with a suite of ultrapotassic plutonic rocks, and it has been proposed that the two are genetically related. This hypothesis is problematic, given that existing geochronological constraints indicate that the carbonatite is ?15-25 Myr younger than the ultrapotassic rocks, requiring alternative models for the formation of the REE ore-bearing carbonatite during a separate event and/or via a different mechanism. New laser ablation split-stream inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LASS-ICP-MS) petrochronological data from ultrapotassic intrusive rocks from Mountain Pass yield titanite and zircon U-Pb dates from 1429?±?10 to 1385?±?18?Ma, expanding the age range of the ultrapotassic rocks in the complex by ?20 Myr. The ages of the youngest ultrapotassic rocks overlap monazite Th-Pb ages from a carbonatite dike and the main carbonatite ore body (1396?±?16 and 1371?±?10?Ma, respectively). The Hf isotope compositions of zircon in the ultrapotassic rocks are uniform, both within and between samples, with a weighted mean ?Hfi of 1•9?±?0•2 (MSWD?=?0•9), indicating derivation from a common, isotopically homogeneous source. In contrast, in situ Nd isotopic data for titanite in the ultrapotassic rocks are variable (?Ndi?=?-3•5 to -12), suggesting variable contamination by an isotopically enriched source. The most primitive ?Ndi isotopic signatures, however, do overlap ?Ndi from monazite (?Ndi?=?-2•8?±?0•2) and bastnäsite (?Ndi?=?-3•2?±?0•3) in the ore-bearing carbonatite, suggesting derivation from a common source. The data presented here indicate that ultrapotassic magmatism occurred in up to three phases at Mountain Pass (?1425, ?1405, and ?1380?Ma). The latter two stages were coeval with carbonatite magmatism, revealing previously unrecognized synchronicity in ultrapotassic and carbonatite magmatism at Mountain Pass. Despite this temporal overlap, major and trace element geochemical data are inconsistent with derivation of the carbonatite and ultrapotassic rocks by liquid immiscibility or fractional crystallization from common parental magma. Instead, we propose that the carbonatite was generated as a primary melt from the same source as the ultrapotassic rocks, and that although it is unique, the Mountain Pass ultrapotassic and carbonatite suite is broadly similar to other alkaline silicate-carbonatite occurrences in which the two rock types were generated as separate mantle melts.

Abstract: It is now accepted that significant volumes of pyroxenites are generated in the subduction factory and remain trapped in the mantle. In ophiolites and orogenic massifs the geometry of pyroxenite layers and their relationships with the host peridotite can be observed directly. Since a large part of what is known about the upper mantle structure is derived from the analysis of seismic waves, it is crucial to integrate pyroxenites in the interpretations. We modeled the seismic properties of a peridotitic mantle rich in pyroxenite layers in order to determine the impact of layering on the seimsic properties. To do so, EBSD data on deformed and undeformed pyroxenites from the Cabo Ortegal complex (Spain) and the Trinity ophiolite (California, USA) respectively are combined with either A or B-type olivine fabrics in order to model a realistic pyroxenite-rich upper mantle. Consideration of pyroxeniterich domains within the host mantle wall rock is incorporated in the calculations using the Schoenberg and Muir group theory [1]. This quantification reveals the complex dependence of the seismic signal on the deformational state and relative abundance of each mineral phase. The incorporation of pyroxenites properties into geophysical interpretations in understanding the lithospheric structure of subduction zones will lead to more geologically realistic models.

Abstract: Podiform chromitites occur in mantle peridotites of the Late Triassic Puerto Nuevo Ophiolite, Baja California Sur State, Mexico. These are high-Cr chromitites [Cr# (Cr/Cr + Al atomic ratio = 0.61-0.69)] that contain a range of minor- and trace-elements and show whole-rock enrichment in IPGE (Os, Ir, Ru). That are similar to those of high-Cr ophiolitic chromitites crystallised from melts similar to high-Mg island-arc tholeiites (IAT) and boninites in supra-subduction-zone mantle wedges. Crystallisation of these chromitites from S-undersaturated melts is consistent with the presence of abundant inclusions of platinum-group minerals (PGM) such as laurite (RuS2)-erlichmanite (OsS2), osmium and irarsite (IrAsS) in chromite, that yield TMA ? TRD model ages peaking at ~ 325 Ma. Thirty-three xenocrystic zircons recovered from mineral concentrates of these chromitites yield ages (2263 ± 44 Ma to 278 ± 4 Ma) and Hf-O compositions [?Hf(t) = ? 18.7 to + 9.1 and 18O values < 12.4‰] that broadly match those of zircons reported in nearby exposed crustal blocks of southwestern North America. We interpret these chromitite zircons as remnants of partly digested continental crust or continent-derived sediments on oceanic crust delivered into the mantle via subduction. They were captured by the parental melts of the chromitites when the latter formed in a supra-subduction zone mantle wedge polluted with crustal material. In addition, the Puerto Nuevo chromites have clinopyroxene lamellae with preferred crystallographic orientation, which we interpret as evidence that chromitites have experienced high-temperature and ultra high-pressure conditions (< 12 GPa and ~ 1600 °C). We propose a tectonic scenario that involves the formation of chromitite in the supra-subduction zone mantle wedge underlying the Vizcaino intra-oceanic arc ca. 250 Ma ago, deep-mantle recycling, and subsequent diapiric exhumation in the intra-oceanic basin (the San Hipólito marginal sea) generated during an extensional stage of the Vizcaino intra-oceanic arc ca. 221 Ma ago. The TRD ages at ~ 325 Ma record a partial melting event in the mantle prior to the construction of the Vizcaino intra-oceanic arc, which is probably related to the Permian continental subduction, dated at ~ 311 Ma.

Abstract: Mantle convection shapes Earth's surface by generating dynamic topography. Observational constraints and regional convection models suggest that surface topography could be sensitive to mantle flow for wavelengths as short as 1,000 and 250 km, respectively. At these spatial scales, surface processes including sedimentation and relative sea?level change occur on million?year timescales. However, time?dependent global mantle flow models do not predict small?scale dynamic topography yet. Here we present 2?D spherical annulus numerical models of mantle convection with large radial and lateral viscosity contrasts. We first identify the range of Rayleigh number, internal heat production rate and yield stress for which models generate plate?like behavior, surface heat flow, surface velocities, and topography distribution comparable to Earth's. These models produce both whole?mantle convection and small?scale convection in the upper mantle, which results in small?scale (<500 km) to large?scale (>104 km) dynamic topography, with a spectral power for intermediate scales (500 to 104 km) comparable to estimates of present?day residual topography. Timescales of convection and the associated dynamic topography vary from five to several hundreds of millions of years. For a Rayleigh number of 107, we investigate how lithosphere yield stress variations (1050 MPa) and the presence of deep thermochemical heterogeneities favor small?scale (200500 km) and intermediate?scale (500104 km) dynamic topography by controlling the formation of small?scale convection and the number and distribution of subduction zones, respectively. The interplay between mantle convection and lithosphere dynamics generates a complex spatial and temporal pattern of dynamic topography consistent with constraints for Earth.

Watts, K., Haxel, G., Miller, D.Zircon record of alkaline magmatism associated with the Mountain Pass carbonatite REE deposit, southeast Mojave desert, California, USA.Goldschmidt2019, 1p. AbstractUnited States, Californiadeposit - Mountain Pass

Abstract: Mountain Pass is one of the largest and most economically important REE deposits in the world. The ore body is a carbonatite stock within a shonkinite and syenite plutonic complex, which is part of a ~130 km long trend of Mesoproterozoic alkaline igneous rocks in the southeast Mojave Desert [1]. Zircons from a suite of shonkinite and syenite rocks at Mountain Pass were analyzed by SHRIMP-RG (207Pb/206Pb ages and trace elements) and SIMS (O isotopes) to elucidate their petrogenesis and potential relationship to ore-forming carbonatite. Concordant 207Pb/206Pb dates define multimodal distributions from ~1370-1435 Ma and ~1530-1780 Ma. The youngest 207Pb/206Pb dates of ~1370-1380 Ma and ~1390-1400 Ma overlap published Th-Pb monazite ages of 1371 ± 10 Ma and 1396 ± 16 Ma for the carbonatite ore body and a smaller carbonatite dike at Mountain Pass [2]. The youngest (<1435 Ma) zircons, interpreted to be magmatic (autocrystic), have REE up to ~10,000x chondrite values, subtle (~0.8) Eu/Eu* anomalies, generally low U (<500 ppm), moderate Hf (<11,000 ppm), and Ti-in-zircon temperatures that cluster at ~800 °C. Paleoproterozoic zircon xenocrysts have larger Eu/Eu* anomalies (~0.1- 0.5) and extend to higher Hf contents (>11,000 ppm). Zircon ?18O values in the <1435 Ma grains span from mantle (~5‰) to supracrustal (~7‰), and are mostly in the higher supracrustal end of the range. Paleoproterozoic zircons overlap this range as well as extend to higher ?18O values (~9‰). Our new data support coeval and longlived (20 Myr+) alkaline and carbonatite magmatism and underscore the relative importance of the crust in generating magmas associated with the world-class Mountain Pass REE deposit.

Abstract: We investigate the potential to use concentrations and zoning patterns of phosphorus (P) in clinopyroxene as indicators of the rates of igneous and metasomatic processes, comparable to recent applications of P in olivine but applicable to more evolved rocks and lower temperatures of crystallization. Few high-P pyroxenes have been previously reported, and none have been analyzed in detail for the mechanism of P enrichment or the implications for mineral growth kinetics. Here, we report the discovery and characteristics of exotic phosphorus-rich secondary clinopyroxene in glassy pockets and veins in composite mantle xenoliths from the Cima Volcanic Field (California, USA) and the Middle Atlas Mountains (Morocco, West Africa). These glass-bearing xenoliths preserve evidence of melt infiltration events and the contrasting behavior of P in their pyroxene crystals constrains the different rates of reaction and extents of equilibration that characterized infiltration in each setting. We report optical petrography and chemical analysis of glasses and minerals for major elements by electron microprobe microanalyzer and trace elements by laser-ablation Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry. The Cima Volcanic Field specimen shows one end-member behavior, with unzoned P-rich clinopyroxene in a melt pocket. We attribute this occurrence to a slow crystallization process that occurred after the melt temperature reached near-equilibrium with the host rock and during which the P concentration in the melt was buffered by apatite saturation. In the Morocco xenolith, by contrast, clinopyroxene exhibits zonation with P increasing all the way to the rim, in contact with the glass. We ascribe this feature to a rapid growth process in which excess P was incorporated into the growing clinopyroxene from a diffusive boundary layer. We demonstrate quantitative agreement between the enrichment of P and other trace elements and their expected diffusion and partitioning behavior during rapid growth. We suggest that P has not been widely reported in clinopyroxene in large part because it has rarely been looked for and that its analysis offers considerable promise as a kinetic indicator both in xenoliths and volcanic rocks.

Abstract: Synchrotron Mössbauer Source (SMS) spectroscopy (ESRF, Grenoble, France) has high spatial resolution (~20 microns) and has been successfully applied to measuring Fe3+ concentrations in diamond inclusions [1,2]. Over the last few decades a number of studies have been conducted on individual minerals from mantle xenoliths in order to determine the oxidation state of the upper mantle [3,4]. These studies were conducted using ?50 mg of handpicked grains as opposed to individual crystals. In this study, we applied SMS to measure ferric iron contents of individual spinels, orthopyroxenes, clinopyroxenes and garnets from 5 spinel peridotite xenoliths and 1 pyroxenite and 2 eclogite xenoliths. Spinel xenoliths derive from Kilbourne hole, Mont Briançon and Ichinomegata. Spinels from these xenoliths were previously analysed by Mössbauer spectroscopy on bulk separates [4]. Eclogite xenoliths (UAS 1055, UAS 1525) and pyroxenite xenolith (UAS 510) were obtained from Udachnaya kimberlite pipe in Siberia. In spinel peridotites measured ratios range between 0.04- 0.14 Fe3+/Fetot for Opx, 0.14-0.19 Fe3+/Fetot for Cpx and between 0.15-0.23 for Spl. These values are broadly in agreement with previous measurements [3]. In eclogites and pyroxenite, the ratios range between 0.05-0.16 for garnet and 0.07-0.17 for Cpx, showing DGrt/Cpx for Fe3+ of 0.8-1.9. Oxygen fugacities derived from the spinel-olivineorthopyroxene oxybarometer are consistent with previous results for the continental lithosphere fO2 of between -1 and +1 log units relative to the FMQ buffer [5]. Nevertheless we observe small differences between our results on individual grains and previous data on bulk separates.

Abstract: In recent months, GIA has seen a number of laboratory-grown diamonds submitted for update or verification services with counterfeit inscriptions referencing GIA natural diamond reports ("GIA laboratory prevents attempted fraud"). One recent example is a 3.07 ct round brilliant submitted to the Antwerp lab for update service (figure 1). It bore an inscription matching a GIA report for a natural diamond that had been submitted in 2018. Microscopic examination quickly revealed, however, that the inscription was in fact fraudulent. Further analysis indicated a laboratory-grown origin.

Abstract: Mountain Pass is the site of the most economically important rare earth element (REE) deposit in the United States. Mesoproterozoic alkaline intrusions are spatiotemporally associated with a composite carbonatite stock that hosts REE ore. Understanding the genesis of the alkaline and carbonatite magmas is an essential scientific goal for a society in which critical minerals are in high demand and will continue to be so for the foreseeable future. We present an ion microprobe study of zircon crystals in shonkinite and syenite intrusions to establish geochronological and geochemical constraints on the igneous underpinnings of the Mountain Pass REE deposit. Silicate whole-rock compositions occupy a broad spectrum (50-72 wt % SiO2), are ultrapotassic (6-9 wt % K2O; K2O/Na2O = 2-9), and have highly elevated concentrations of REEs (La 500-1,100× chondritic). Zircon concordia 206Pb/238U-207Pb/235U ages determined for shonkinite and syenite units are 1409 ± 8, 1409 ± 12, 1410 ± 8, and 1415 ± 6 Ma (2?). Most shonkinite dikes are dominated by inherited Paleoproterozoic xenocrysts, but there are sparse primary zircons with 207Pb/206Pb ages of 1390-1380 ± 15 Ma for the youngest grains. Our new zircon U-Pb ages for shonkinite and syenite units overlap published monazite Th-Pb ages for the carbonatite orebody and a smaller carbonatite dike. Inherited zircons in shonkinite and syenite units are ubiquitous and have a multimodal distribution of 207Pb/206Pb ages that cluster in the range of 1785-1600 ± 10-30 Ma. Primary zircons have generally lower Hf (<11,000 ppm) and higher Eu/Eu* (>0.6), Th (>300 ppm), Th/U (>1), and Ti-in-zircon temperatures (>800°C) than inherited zircons. Oxygen isotope data reveals a large range in ?18O values for primary zircons, from mantle (5-5.5‰) to crustal and supracrustal (7-9‰). A couple of low-?18O outliers (2‰) point to a component of shallow crust altered by meteoric water. The ?18O range of inherited zircons (5-10‰) overlaps that of the primary zircons. Our study supports a model in which alkaline and carbonatite magmatism occurred over tens of millions of years, repeatedly tapping a metasomatized mantle source, which endowed magmas with elevated REEs and other diagnostic components (e.g., F, Ba). Though this metasomatized mantle region existed for the duration of Mountain Pass magmatism, it probably did not predate magmatism by substantial geologic time (>100 m.y.), based on the similarity of 1500 Ma zircons with the dominantly 1800-1600 Ma inherited zircons, as opposed to the 1450-1350 Ma primary zircons. Mountain Pass magmas had diverse crustal inputs from assimilation of Paleoproterozoic and Mesoproterozoic igneous, metaigneous, and metasedimentary rocks. Crustal assimilation is only apparent from high spatial resolution zircon analyses and underscores the need for mineral-scale approaches in understanding the genesis of the Mountain Pass system.
