The Reaction Mechanism of Sieve-Textured Orthopyroxene: Implications for Lithospheric Mantle Rejuvenation
详细信息   
摘要


     An electronic backscattered diffraction EBSD study of the sieve-textured reaction rim between or- thopyroxene and basalt in the Hannuoba mantle xenoliths was conducted in Damaping area, Hebei Province. Some conclusions have been rearched 1 The reaction rim has a complex multi-layer structure composed of a basalt layer, an olivine-rich layer and an intergrowth layer of olivine and clinopyroxene; 2 The Mg# of the o- livine grains in the reaction rim increases toward the orthopyroxene grain while the Mg# of the clinopyroxene grains in the reaction rim remains stable; 3 There is a well-defined crystallographic topotactic relationship be- tween orthopyroxene and clinopyroxene, i.e., 100opx//100cpx, 010opx//010cpx, 001opx//001cpx; 4 The crystallographic distribution of olivine grains is nearly at random and shows no relationship with orthopy- roxene and clinopyroxene. This sieve-textured reaction rim can be interpreted as the result of a multistage reac- tion process. In the first step, the orthopyroxene reacts with the melt to form clinopyroxene which made the re- action melt more silicic. As the melt gets saturated with silica, olivine precipitates from the reaction melt. Com- paring to the reaction between a silica-saturated melt and a peridotite, the reaction between a silica-tmderstaturated melt and a peridotite is probably easier to proceed due to the formation of sieve-textured reaction rims. The sieve-textured reaction rims provide a feasible channel for the migration of the melt along otherwise closed grain boundaries at high pressure, weaken the surrounding peridotite through the reduction of mineral grain size, and maintain a continuous erosion and destruction of the peridotite during the upward migration of the melt. This process may lead to a quick rejuvenation of lithospheric mantle.
