    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé Les inclusions fluides et vitreuses piégées dans les minéraux des xénolithes de lherzolite á spinelle et de harzburgite ont fait l'objet d'études thermométriques et barochimiques afin de mieux cerner les processus métasomatiques qui ont affecté le manteau supérieur subcontinental du nord de la Patagonie. Les xénolithes contiennent trois types d'inclusions génétiquement reliées entre elles et piégées dans l'olivine, l'orthopyroxène, le clinopyroxène et les spinelles: 1) inclusions vitreuses, 2) inclusions vitreuses multiphasées, 3) inclusions fluides á CO2. La densité des inclusions fluides précoces (0.93 á 1.02g/c3) et la température d'homogénéisation des inclusions vitreuses (Th = 1220°C) indiquent que les inclusions ont été piégées dans le manteau supérieur. Les inclusions vitreuses sont soit en individus isolés, soit en alignements disposés selon des fractures et des lamelles de déformation (inclusions secondaires). Elles sont formées par du verre et par une bulle pouvant contenir du CO2 auxquels peuvent s'associer des minéraux fils (clinopyroxènes, amphiboles, apatites et ilménites). La phase vitreuse, caractérisée par une composition riche en silice, alumine, alcalins et volatils élevés et la nature des minéraux fils indiquent que les inclusions vitreuses résultent du piégeage de liquides métasomatiques. La composition des inclusions vitreuses varie. La teneur en SiO2 atteint 68% en poids dans les inclusions isolées des Fo 91, elle est par contre proche de 60% dans les inclusions secondaires des Fo 89-90, de l'orthopyroxène et du spinelle. La composition chimique des différents types d'inclusions ne peut être expliquée par les processus classiques de différenciation magmatique tels que la cristallisation fractionnée ou la fusion partielle. L'existence d'une bimodalité dans les compositions chimiques et dans les niveaux de piégeage plaident en faveur d'une source mantellique hétérogène et de l'intervention de fluides profonds lors du processus de fusion ayant généré les liquides métasomatiques.
    Notes: Summary In an attempt to investigate metasomatic processes in the subcontinental upper mantle beneath Northern Patagonia, melt and fluid inclusions trapped in spinel lherzolite and harzburgite xenoliths have been studied. The xenoliths contain three types of genetically related inclusions hosted by olivine, orthopyroxene, clinopyroxene and spinel: silicate glass inclusions, multiphase silicate melt inclusions and C02 fluid inclusions. CO2 densities of early fluid inclusions (0.93–1.02 g/cm3) and homogenization temperatures of melt inclusions (1220 °C) indicate that they were trapped at uppermantle depths. Silicate melt inclusions occur as isolated inclusions as trails along fractures and decorating lamellae deformation. They are composed of glass, or of glass with “daughter” crystals of clinopyroxene, amphibole, apatite and ilmenite. Glass inclusions are characterized by high contents of silica, alumina and alkali elements. The nature and chemistry of the daughter minerals indicate that melt inclusions can be considered as trapped metasomatic melts. Moreover, glass inclusions show chemical variations from high silica (68 wt%) melts trapped as isolated inclusions in olivine Fog, towards less siliceous (60 wt%) melts trapped as secondary inclusions in olivine FO89-90, orthopyroxene and spinel. This chemical evolution cannot be reconciled with magmatic processes, like fractional crystallization or different degrees of partial melting. The existence of two stages in their evolution, could reflect the heterogenous nature of the mantle source of the melts and the presence of a deep-seated fluid phase during melting.

    Notes: Abstract Glass inclusions trapped in bytownite phenocrysts (from the Ardoukoba eruption, Djibouti Republic, 7 November 1978) are used as an experimental environment to follow the evolution of crystallization and residual liquids in a magma with tholeiitic affinities. The results are compared with those obtained from abyssal tholeiites by Walker et al. (1979). In near equilibrium crystallization conditions, simultaneous crystallization of olivine and pyroxene is obtained in the enclosed silicate liquid as well as plagioclase as overgrowths on the cavity walls. Oxides only appear at lower temperatures. The olivine is homogeneous and rather rare (≦5% in weight). It forms at a temperature between 1,186° C±3(Fo85) and 1,126° C(Fo66). The distribution coefficient of Mg between the liquid and the olivine varies regularly with the temperature until titanomagnetite appears. The augite is much more abundant (〉20% in weight of the original trapped melt) and is characterized by a composition that varies from the centre to the edges of the crystals Wo 43.5–36.2, En 43.8-41.7, Fs 12.7–22.1. Composition shows an unsatisfactory correlation with temperature and, at most, an Fs enrichment may be noted with temperature decrease. The composition of the plagioclase deposited on the cavity walls varies linearly with temperature from An 73.3 at 1,186° C to An 56.5 at 1,135° C in the case of contemporaneous crystallization of Pl, Cpx, Ol and Ox. If experiments are carried out by undercooling (as much as 150° C) in relation to crystallization of the ferromagnesian minerals, the composition of the plagioclase changes from An 78.8 at 1,160° C to An 52.8 at 1,025° C. In the case of the Pl, Ol, Cpx and +OX crystallization, the included liquids evolve from tholeiitic basalts to ferrobasalts in the same way as the lavas studied in the Asal rift (Demange et al. 1980). The advantages and limitations of the method are discussed.

    Notes: Abstract  This work presents the results of a microthermometric and EPMA-SIMS study of melt inclusions in phenocrysts of rocks of the shoshonitic eruptive complex of Vulcano (Aeolian Islands, Italy). Different primitive magmas related to two different evolutionary series, an older one (50–25 ka) and a younger one (15 ka to 1890 A.D.), were identified as melt inclusions in olivine Fo88–91 crystals. Both are characterized by high Ca/Al ratio and present very similar Rb/Sr, B/Be and patterns of trace elements, with Nb and Ti anomalies typical of a subduction zone. The two basalts present the same temperature of crystallization (1180±20  °C) and similar volatile abundances. The H2O, S and Cl contents are relatively high, whereas magmatic CO2 concentrations are very low, probably due to CO2 loss before low-pressure crystallization and entrapment of melt inclusions. The mineral chemistry of the basaltic assemblages and the high Ca/Al ratio of melt inclusions indicate an origin from a depleted, metasomatized clinopyroxene-rich peridotitic mantle. The younger primitive melt is characterized with respect to the older one by higher K2O and incompatible element abundances, by lower Zr/Nb and La/Nb, and by higher Ba/Rb and LREE enrichment. A different degree of partial melting of the same source can explain the chemical differences between the two magmas. However, some anomalies in Sr, Rb and K contents suggest either a slightly different source for the two magmas or differing extents of crustal contamination. Low-pressure degassing and cooling of the basaltic magmas produce shoshonitic liquids. The melt inclusions indicate evolutionary paths via fractional crystallization, leading to trachytic compositions during the older activity and to rhyolitic compositions during the recent one. The bulk-rock compositions record a more complex history than do the melt inclusions, due to the syneruptive mixing processes commonly affecting the magmas erupted at Vulcano. The composition and temperature data on melt inclusions suggest that in the older period of activity several shallow magmatic reservoirs existed; in the younger one a relatively homogeneous feeding system is active. The shallow magmatic reservoir feeding the recent eruptive activity probably has a vertical configuration, with basaltic magma in the deeper zones and differentiated magmas in shallower, low-volume, dike-like reservoirs.

    Magma and Volatile Supply to Post-collapse Volcanism and Block Resurgence in Siwi Caldera (Tanna Island, Vanuatu Arc) (2011)
    Oxford University Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-06-17
    Description: Siwi caldera, in the Vanuatu arc (Tanna island), is a rare volcanic complex where both persistent eruptive activity (Yasur volcano) and rapid block resurgence (Yenkahe horst) can be investigated simultaneously during a post-caldera stage. Here we provide new constraints on the feeding system of this volcanic complex, based on a detailed study of the petrology, geochemistry and volatile content of Yasur–Siwi bulk-rocks and melt inclusions, combined with measurements of the chemical composition and mass fluxes of Yasur volcanic gases. Major and trace element analyses of Yasur–Siwi volcanic rocks, together with literature data for other volcanic centers, point to a single magmatic series and possibly long-lived feeding of Tanna volcanism by a homogeneous arc basalt. Olivine-hosted melt inclusions show that the parental basaltic magma, which produces basaltic-trachyandesites to trachyandesites by ~50–70% crystal fractionation, is moderately enriched in volatiles (~1 wt % H 2 O, 0·1 wt % S and 0·055 wt % Cl). The basaltic-trachyandesite magma, emplaced at between 4–5 km depth and the surface, preserves a high temperature (1107 ± 15°C) and constant H 2 O content (~1 wt %) until very shallow depths, where it degasses extensively and crystallizes. These conditions, maintained over the past 1400 years of Yasur activity, require early water loss during basalt differentiation, prevalent open-system degassing, and a relatively high heat flow (~10 9 W). Yasur volcano releases on average ≥ 13·4 x 10 3 tons d –1 of H 2 O and 680 tons d –1 of SO 2 , but moderate amounts of CO 2 (840 tons d –1 ), HCl (165 tons d –1 ), and HF (23 tons d –1 ). Combined with melt inclusion data, these gas outputs constrain a bulk magma degassing rate of ~5 x 10 7 m 3 a –1 , about a half of which is due to degassing of the basaltic-trachyandesite. We compute that 25 km 3 of this magma have degassed without erupting and have accumulated beneath Siwi caldera over the past 1000 years, which is one order of magnitude larger than the accumulated volume uplift of the Yenkahe resurgent block. Hence, basalt supply and gradual storage of unerupted degassed basaltic-trachyandesite could easily account for (or contribute to) the Yenkahe block resurgence.

Olivine-hosted melt inclusions show that the parental basaltic magma, which produces basaltic-trachyandesites to trachyandesites by 50^70% crystal fractionation, is moderately enriched in volatiles ( 1wt % H2O, 0·1wt % S and 0·055 wt % Cl). The basaltic-trachyandesite magma, emplaced at between 4^5 km depth and the surface, preserves a high temperature (1107 158C) and constant H2O content ( 1wt %) until very shallow depths, where it degasses extensively and crystallizes. These conditions, maintained over the past 1400 years of Yasur activity, require early water loss during basalt differentiation, prevalent open-system degassing, and a relatively high heat flow ( 109W). Yasur volcano releases on average 13·4 103 tons d 1 of H2O and 680 tons d 1 of SO2, but moderate amounts of CO2 (840 tons d 1), HCl (165 tons d 1), and HF (23 tons d 1).

We compute that 25 km3 of this magma have degassed without erupting and have accumulated beneath Siwi caldera over the past 1000 years, which is one order of magnitude larger than the accumulated volume uplift of the Yenkahe resurgent block. Hence, basalt supply and gradual storage of unerupted degassed basaltictrachyandesite could easily account for (or contribute to) the Yenkahe block resurgence.
