Fe-Mg Isotopic Compositions of Altered Oceanic Crust and Subduction-Zone Fluids

摘要: 贫碳酸盐的蚀变洋壳具有与新鲜洋中脊玄武岩一致的Mg同位素组成,说明低温和高温洋壳蚀变不会导致Mg同位素分馏.大别山港河和花凉亭的早期变质脉比榴辉岩具有偏高的δ56Fe-δ26Mg值,而且早期到晚期变质脉的δ56Fe-δ26Mg值逐渐降低.这些结果说明,在流体-岩石反应和流体演化过程中,Fe-Mg同位素发生了显著的分馏,且矿物溶解-再沉淀是同位素分馏的控制因素.相比洋中脊玄武岩,蚀变洋壳和变质脉具有相似或偏高的δ56Fe-δ26Mg值,说明蚀变洋壳脱水产生的流体富集重Fe-Mg同位素,不能解释弧岩浆岩的轻Fe/重Mg同位素组成.因此,弧岩浆岩异常的Fe-Mg同位素组成是熔体提取和富集54Fe-26Mg的蛇纹岩流体交代地幔楔两个过程共同作用的结果.Abstract: The origin of the light Fe and heavy Mg isotope enrichments in arc lavas remains unclear because of the lack of constraints on the Fe-Mg isotope compositions of altered oceanic crust (AOC) and metamorphic fluids in subduction zones. Carbonate-barren AOC has Mg isotope compositions similar to those of fresh mid-ocean ridge basalts, suggesting that low-to-high temperature alteration of oceanic crust by seawater and hydrothermal fluids results in limited Mg isotope fractionation. Fe-Mg isotope measurements show that the early omphacite-epidote veins have higher δ56Fe and δ26Mg compared to the host eclogites and that the δ56Fe and δ26Mg gradually decrease from the early omphacite-epidote through epidote-quartz to the late kyanite-epidote-quartz veins. These results indicate significant Fe-Mg isotope fractionation during fluid-rock interaction and fluid evolution due to the dissolution-precipitation processes of minerals in subduction zones. Compared to mid-ocean ridge basalts, the similar or higher δ56Fe and δ26Mg of AOC and metamorphic veins suggest that AOC-derived fluids are probably enriched in heavy Fe-Mg isotopes. Thus, contribution from AOC-derived fluids is unlikely to explain the light Fe and heavy Mg isotope compositions of arc lavas. We propose that the Fe-Mg isotope anomaly of arc lavas may result from a combination of prior melt depletion and addition of serpentinite-derived 54Fe-26Mg-rich fluids into the overlying mantle wedge.
