SDLRC - Basanites


The Sheahan Diamond Literature Reference Compilation - Scientific and Media Articles based on Major Keyword - Basanites
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 Keyword 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 an effort to make it easier for users to track down articles related to a specific topic, KRO has extracted these key words and developed a list of major key words presented in this Key Word Index to which individual key words used in the article reference have been assigned. In most of the individual Key Word Reports the references are in crhonological order, though in some such as Deposits the order is first by key word and then chronological. Only articles classified as "technical" (mainly scientific journal articles) and "media" (independent media articles) are included in the Key Word Index. References that were added in the most recent monthly update are highlighted in yellow.

Basanites are an extrusive sub-class of alkaline rocks associated with basalts formed through hotspot volcanism. Basanites are lower in silica and higher in alkalis than basalt. They are not very relevant to diamonds.

Abstract: The Ampasindava alkaline province consists of a series of circular and elliptical intrusions, lava flows, dyke swarms and plugs of Cenozoic age emplaced into the Mesozoic-Cenozoic sedimentary rocks of the Antsiranana basin (NW Madagascar) and above the crystalline basement. The magmatism in the Ampasindava region is linked to a NW-SE trending extensional tectonic setting. New 40Ar/39Ar age determinations on feldspar separate of alkali granites and basaltic dykes yielded ages of 18.01?±?0.36 Ma and 26?±?7 Ma, respectively. Alkali basalts and basanites, nepheline syenites and phonolites, and silica saturated-to-oversaturated syenites, trachytes, granites and rhyolites are the main outcropping lithologies. These rocks have sodic affinity. The felsic rocks are dominant, and range from peraluminous to peralkaline. The mantle-normalized incompatible element patterns of the mafic lavas match those of Na-alkaline lavas in within-plate rift settings. The patterns are identical in shape and absolute concentrations to those of the Bobaomby (Cap d’Ambre) and Massif d’Ambre primitive volcanic rocks. These geochemical features are broadly compatible with variable degrees of partial melting of incompatible element-enriched mantle sources. The mineralogical and geochemical variations are consistent with fractional crystallization processes involving removal of olivine, feldspar, clinopyroxene, amphibole, Fe-Ti oxides and apatite. Removal of small amount of titanite explains the concave upward lanthanide pattern in the evolved nepheline syenites and phonolites, which are additionally rich in exotic silicates typical of agpaitic magmas (eudialyte, F-disilicates).

Abstract: Both mantle-derived clinopyroxene and orthopyroxene are generally homogeneous in water concentration, while water content in the coexisting olivine is affected by partial or complete loss during the ascent of the hosting magma. Here, we report the first record of water content profiles (higher water in the cores than in the rims) in natural orthopyroxene grains in peridotite xenoliths hosted by Cenozoic alkali basalts in Tianchang volcano, eastern China. The water contents of the coexisting clinopyroxene grains are homogeneous and are twice that measured in the cores of orthopyroxene grains, confirming previous chemical equilibrium between the two pyroxenes. The olivines (ol) are nearly dry (?0 ppm). These observations demonstrate that H diffusion in mantle orthopyroxene (opx) is faster than in clinopyroxene (cpx), and the relative mobility of H in each mineral phase could be quantified as: Graphic (where is the chemical diffusion coefficient of hydrogen). Combining this with experimental diffusion coefficients from the literature, we infer that (1) the xenoliths remained in contact with the magma below 900 °C for several months, and (2) clinopyroxene remains the more reliable recorder of water from depth, and orthopyroxene should be used more cautiously but can be considered with olivine for tracing slow transport and cooling of magma.

Abstract: Pyroxenites provide important information on mantle heterogeneity and can be used to trace mantle evolution. New major and trace element and Sr-, Nd-, and Hf-isotope analyses of minerals and whole-rock samples of garnet websterites entrained in basanite tuffs in Bullenmerri and Gnotuk maars, southeastern Australia, are here combined with detailed petrographic observations to constrain the sources and genesis of the pyroxenites, and to trace the dynamic evolution of the lithospheric mantle. Most garnet websterites have high MgO and Cr2O3 contents, relatively flat light rare earth element (LREE) patterns ([La/Nd]CN?=?0•77-2•22) and ocean island basalt-like Sr-, Nd-, and Hf-isotope compositions [87Sr/86Sr?=?0•70412-0•70657; ?Nd(t)?=?-0•32 to +4•46; ?Hf(t)=+1•69 to +18•6] in clinopyroxenes. Some samples show subduction-related signatures with strong enrichments in large ion lithophile elements and LREE, and negative anomalies in high field strength elements, as well as high 87Sr/86Sr (up to 0•709), and decoupled Hf- and Nd-isotope compositions [?Nd(t)?=?-3•28; ?Hf(t) =?+11•6). These data suggest that the garnet pyroxenites represent early crystallization products of mafic melts derived from a convective mantle wedge. Hf model ages and Sm-Nd mineral isochrons suggest that these pyroxenites record at least two stages of evolution. The initial formation stage corresponds to the Paleozoic subduction of the proto-Pacific plate beneath southeastern Australia, which generated hydrous tholeiitic melts that crystallized clinopyroxene-dominated pyroxenites at ?1420-1450°C and ?75?km depth in the mantle wedge. The second stage corresponds to Eocene (c. 40?Ma) back-arc lithospheric extension, which led to uplift of the former mantle-wedge domain to 40-60?km depths, and subsequent cooling to the ambient geotherm (?950-1100°C). Extensive exsolution and recrystallization of garnet and orthopyroxene (±?ilmenite) from clinopyroxene megacrysts accompanied this stage. The timing of these mantle events coincides with vertical tectonism in the overlying crust.

PdfMantlebasanite

Abstract: The morphology of crystals in magmas strongly depends on the temperature regime of the system, in particular the degree of undercooling and the cooling rate. To simulate low degrees of undercooling, we developed a new experimental setup based on thermal migration, in which large cylinders of forsterite (single crystals) immersed in haplobasaltic melt were subjected to a temperature gradient. As forsterite solubility is sensitive to temperature, the forsterite on the high-temperature side undergoes dissolution and the dissolved components are transported toward the low-temperature side where a layer of newly grown forsterite forms (up to 340 ?m thick after 101 h). A striking feature is that the precipitation process does not produce a planar front of forsterite advancing at the expense of liquid: the growth front shows a fingered outline in planar section, with solid lobes separated by glass tubes that are perpendicular to the growth front. We ascribe this texture to cellular growth, a type of growth that had not been experimentally produced so far in silicate systems. We find that the development of cellular growth requires low degrees of undercooling (a few °C) and large crystal-liquid interfaces (~?1 mm across or more), and that it occurs at a growth rate of the order of 10?9 m/s. We found natural occurrences of cellular growth on the rims of olivines from basanites, but otherwise cellular textures are poorly documented in natural volcanic rocks. Melt inclusions were produced in our experiments, showing that they can form in olivine at relatively slow rates of growth (10?9 m/s or lower).

Abstract: Widespread Cenozoic intraplate basalts from eastern China offer the opportunity to investigate the consequences of interaction between the stagnant Pacific slab and overlying asthenosphere and chemical heterogeneity within this “big mantle wedge”. We present and compile a comprehensive study of highly siderophile elements and Mg-Zn isotopes of this magmatic suite (60 samples including nephelinites, basanites, alkali basalts and tholeiites). The large-scale Mg-Zn isotopic anomalies documented in these basalts have been ascribed to mantle hybridization by recycled Mg-carbonates from the stagnant western Pacific plate. Our results reveal that the nephelinites and basanites are characterized by unfractionated platinum-group element (PGE) patterns normalized to primitive upper mantle (PUM) (e.g., PdN/IrN normalized to PUM?=?1.1?±?0.8, 1?), relatively high total PGE contents (e.g., Ir?=?0.25?±?0.14?ppb) and modern mantle-like 187Os/188Os (0.142?±?0.020). These characteristics are coupled with lighter Mg isotope (?26Mg?=??0.48?±?0.07‰) and heavier Zn isotope (?66Zn = +0.46?±?0.06‰) compositions compared to the mantle values (?26Mg: ?0.25?±?0.07‰; ?66Zn: +0.18?±?0.05‰). Together, these data are interpreted to reflect the oxidative breakdown of low proportions of mantle sulfides in the sources of these small-degree melts, likely caused by recycled carbonates, which then release chalcophile-siderophile elements into carbonatitic melts. By contrast, the contemporaneous alkali basalts and tholeiites are characterized by highly fractionated PGE patterns (e.g., PdN/IrN?=?4.4?±?3.3; Ir?=?0.037?±?0.027?ppb) and radiogenic 187Os/188Os (0.279?±?0.115) coupled with less fractionated Mg-Zn isotope compositions (?26Mg: ?0.39?±?0.05‰; ?66Zn: +0.35?±?0.03‰). In combination with other isotopic (e.g., Sr-Nd) and chemical (SiO2, Ce/Pb, Ba/Th, Fe/Mn) constraints, the alkali basalts and tholeiites were derived from higher degree melting of ancient pyroxenite-bearing mantle in addition to mixing with the aforementioned nephelinitic and basanitic melts. Collectively, we suggest that deep recycled carbonates promoted melting within the "big mantle wedge" leading to the generation of Cenozoic intraplate basalts across eastern China and the "redox freezing of carbonates" may cause the oxidation of Fe0 and S2-. This process may provide an important mechanism to oxidize mantle sulfides and transfer precious metals from deep mantle to crust.
