Unaltered peridotite xenoliths are broadly representative of the lithospheric mantle in both oceanic and continental domains. These peridotites are mainly lherzolites and harzburgites. Other rock types such as dunites, wehrlites and pyroxenites are generally not volumetrically significant. The respective contributions of rock-forming minerals to induced and remanent magnetization in these rocks are currently poorly constrained. This information can be used to assess the significance of long-wavelength magnetic anomalies. It can also provide insights, as an alternate approach to the spinel-olivine-pyroxene oxybarometer, into several important petrologic parameters of the lithospheric mantle including fO2. Forty-nine representative, uncontaminated and non-serpentinized xenoliths have been magnetically investigated. These specimens display contrasting remanent magnetic properties (NRM, Mr, Ms) depending on their tectonic settings, specifically oceanic hot-spot, continental mantle plume, island arc, and craton. The main paramagnetic silicates (olivine, clinopyroxene, orthopyroxene, etc...) typically account for most of the peridotite magnetic properties. The low-field bulk magnetic susceptibility of pristine, unaltered mantle xenoliths is ≈ 500 ± 60 x 10-6 [SI] and displays limited variability. The total contribution of paramagnetic silicates to magnetic susceptibility (Kpara-silicates) can be determined from the high-field slope of a saturated hysteresis experiment. Kpara-silicates can also be calculated by adding the respective contributions of individual silicates based on their modes, chemical composition, and the Bohr magneton numbers of individual cations. Silicates account for between 56 and 97% (average ≈ 85%) of the magnetic susceptibility depending on rock composition. When present, the contribution of chrome spinel, which is paramagnetic in the absence of late-stage exsolution products, remains around 1%. Plagioclase-, spinel- and garnet-lherzolites share similar low-field magnetic properties. The remaining contribution to magnetic susceptibility arises from variable amounts of primary magnetite (and pyrrhotite to a minor extent). These mineral phases, although present in tens to hundreds of ppm only, contribute significantly to the rock magnetic properties because they have large intrinsic magnetic susceptibilities (≈ 1 to 4 [SI] for magnetite). Stoichiometric magnetite has been identified as microscopic exsolutions in the lattice of olivine and accounts for 2 to 43% (average ≈ 8%) of the magnetic susceptibility. Whether these pseudo-single domain magnetite grains are in equilibrium with other rock-forming minerals or not is still being investigated. Pyrrhotite (up to 600 ppm in some rare specimens), although detectable in low-temperature magnetic experiments, does not significantly contribute to magnetic susceptibility. The contribution of ferromagnetic minerals, such as magnetite and pyrrhotite, to remanent magnetization (Mr) is significant and varies greatly (over 250x between specimens) with tectonic setting. The fact that all specimens contain primary magnetite suggests that these assemblages equilibrated at least at or above the wüstite-magnetite (WM) oxygen buffer and near the fayalite-magnetite-quartz (FMQ) oxygen buffer. The amount of magnetite present in the mantle peridotite assemblage seems to correlate with tectonic setting and may be linked to fO2 in the mantle. The timing of magnetite exsolution in olivine is still poorly understood and may depend on degree of partial melting, rate of cooling to ambient lithospheric temperature, or mantle metasomatic processes due to introduction of hydrous fluids.

Thesis advisor: Seth C. Kruckenberg / The West Antarctic rift system is one of the most expansive regions of extended continental crust on Earth, but relatively little is known about the structure of the mantle lithosphere in this region. This research aims to examine a suite of ultramafic mantle xenoliths from several volcanic centers located throughout Marie Byrd Land, West Antarctica. Through the use of several complementary analytical methods, the deformational and compositional heterogeneity of the lithospheric mantle in this region is characterized. The Marie Byrd Land xenoliths have equilibration temperatures between 779 and 1198°C, which is a range that corresponds to extraction depths between 39 and 72 km. These samples preserve significant mineralogical and microstructural heterogeneities that document both lateral and vertical heterogeneities within the Marie Byrd Land mantle lithosphere. The modal mineralogy of spinel peridotites varies between 40 – 99% olivine, 0 – 42% diopside, 0 – 45% enstatite and 0 – 5% chromite. Minimum olivine grain sizes range from 60 to 110 µm and maximum olivine grain sizes range from 2.5 to 10.0 mm. The geometric mean grain size of olivine in these samples ranges from 100 µm to 2 mm and has an average of 694 µm. The geometric mean grain size of diopside ranges from 90 to 865 µm and has an average of 325 µm, whereas that of enstatite ranges from 120 µm to 1.2 mm and has an average of 625 µm. Comparatively, the pyroxenites contain 0 – 29% olivine, 29 – 95% diopside, 1 – 36% enstatite and 1 – 11% chromite. Deformation mechanism maps suggest that the olivine within the MBL peridotite xenoliths primarily accommodate strain through the operation of dislocation-accommodated grain-boundary sliding at strain rates between 10-19/s and 10-11/s. This is consistent with microstructural observations of the suite made using optical microscopy (e.g., deformation bands and subgrains in olivine; aligned grain boundaries between contrasting phases). Application of the olivine grain size piezometer indicates that the suite preserves differential stresses ranging from 0.5 MPa to 50 MPa, with mean differential stresses ranging from 4 to 30 MPa. Values of mean differential stress only vary slightly throughout the field area, but generally decrease in magnitude towards the east with maximum values migrating upwards in the lithospheric mantle along this transect. The samples from some volcanic centers are highly homogenous with respect to their microstructural characteristics (e.g., Mount Avers – Bird Bluff), whereas others display heterogeneities on the sub-five-kilometer-scale (e.g., Demas Bluff). Comparatively, mineralogical heterogeneities are more consistent throughout the sample suite with variations generally being observed between the sub-five-kilometer-scale and the sub-ten-kilometer-scale. Most samples within the MBL peridotite suite display axial-[010] or A-type olivine textures. Although less dominant, axial-[100], B-type and random olivine textures are also documented within the suite. Axial-[010] textures have J-indices and M-indices ranging from 1.7 – 4.1 and 0.08 – 0.21, respectively. The average value of the J-index for axial-[010] textures is 2.9, whereas the average M-index of these samples is equal to 0.15. Overall, A-type textures tend to be stronger with J- and M-indices ranging from 1.4 – 9.0 and 0.07 – 0.37, respectively. The olivine crystallographic textures of the MBL xenolith suite are heterogeneous on scales that are smaller than the highest resolution that is attainable using contemporary geophysical methods, which implies that patterns of mantle flow and deformation are far more complex than these studies suggest. / Thesis (MS) — Boston College, 2016. / Submitted to: Boston College.

Xenoliths preserve evidence of magma-crust interactions in magmatic reservoirs and conduits. They reveal processes of partial melting of country rock, and disintegration into magma. Widespread evidence for frothy xenoliths in volcanic deposits exists, and these evidently indicate processes of gas liberation, bubble nucleation and bubble growth. This report focuses on textural analysis of frothy sandstone xenoliths from Krakatau in Indonesia, Cerro Negro in Nicaragua, Cerro Quemado in El Salvador and from Gran Canaria, Canary Islands, and involves attempts to experimentally reproduce xenolith textures. To achieve this, magmatic conditions acting upon country rock in volcanoes are simulated by subjecting sandstones to elevated temperature and pressure in closed system-autoclaves. Subsequent decompression imitates magma ascent following xenolith entrainment, and is largely responsible for the formation of frothy xenolith textures. The experiments show a range of successive features, such as partial melting, gas-pressure build up, bubble nucleation, growth and development of bubble networks. The experiments closely reproduced textures of natural xenoliths and help to assess the controlling P-T parameters that encourage efficient bubble growth. Conditions proved ideal between 850˚C and 870˚C and pressure release from 1 kbar. Such conditions limit bubble overprinting by secondary crystallization and melt infilling. Country rock lithology proved vital regarding gas pressure build-up and resulting bubble nucleation during decompression. In particular, increased water content and relict crystals in the melt produced appear to ease and promote gas liberation by enabling early and effective bubble nucleation. Moreover, experiments confirm a decisive role for bubble coalescence. These results attest to the great potential of country rock to develop interconnected bubble networks upon magma contact, exsolving large amounts of crustal volatiles into the magma. Volatile input involves a change in magma viscosity and thus an accompanied change in disruptive behaviour, and may hence be responsible for increased potential to cause explosive volcanic eruptions. Moreover, H2O and CO2 vapour are severe greenhouse gases, which seems to be added to the atmosphere from crustal rocks via recycling by volcanic activity, and may have yet underappreciated effects on Earth’s climate.

La thèse est basée sur une étude pétrologique et géochimique de xénolites mantelliques provenant du centre du craton sibérien et de l’Asie centrale entre le lac Baïkal et la Mongolie. Le but est d’établir l'état redox du manteau lithosphérique continental dans ces deux domaines géodynamiques distincts (ancien craton, ceinture mobile phanérozoïque) et mettre la fugacité d’oxygène en relation avec le régime thermique et la spéciation des fluides C-O-H. Les fugacités d’oxygène sont calculées sur la base des rapports Fe2+/Fe3+ dans les minéraux (spinelles et grenats) de péridotites, obtenus par spectrométrie Mössbauer. En détail, l’étude porte sur : (i) les microstructures et la composition minéralogique et chimique des xénolites ; (ii) les rapports Fe2+/Fe3+ dans les minéraux par spectrométrie Mössbauer; (iii) les températures et pressions d’équilibration des xénolites; (iv) la fugacité d’oxygène à partir des compositions des minéraux; (v) la spéciation des fluides C-O-H coexistant avec les roches mantelliques. Les résultats supportent les trois conclusions majeures. (1) La fugacité d’oxygène dans le manteau Iithosphérique au centre du craton sibérien décroît de +1 à -4 ΔlogʄO2 (FMQ) entre 70 et 220 km, accompagnée de variations latérales significatives. (2) L’état redox du manteau lithosphérique en Asie centrale est très hétérogène avec une décroissance importante lors de la transition spinelle-grenat de +0 à -3 ΔlogʄO2 (FMQ) à 50-90 km. (3) La spéciation des fluides C-O-H évolue avec la profondeur depuis H2O-CO2 en haut du manteau vers H2O-CH4 à la limite lithosphère-asthénosphère, indépendamment du profil thermique et de l’épaisseur de la lithosphère / The thesis is based on a petrologic and geochemical study of mantle xenoliths from the central Siberian craton and the Baikal-Mongolia region of central Asia. Its goal is to establish the redox regime of the lithospheric mantle in these two domains with distinct tectonic settings and age and relate it to thermal regime and the speciation of C-0-H fluids. Oxygen fugacity is calculated based on Fe2+/Fe3+ ratios in spinel and garnet of mantle peridotites obtained by Mössbauer spectroscopy. The study deals with the following topics: (i) microstructures, chemical and mineralogical composition of the xenoliths; (ii) Fe2+/Fe3+ ratios in minerals by Mössbauer spectroscopy; (iii) equilibration temperatures and pressures using mineral thermo-barometry; (iv) oxygen fugacity from mineral compositions using oxybarometry; (v) proportions of molecular components in C-0-H fluids coexisting with the studied rocks. The three main conclusions of this study are: (1) Oxygen fugacity in the lithospheric mantle in the central Siberian craton decreases from +1 to -4 ΔlogʄO2 (FMQ) at depths from 70 to 220 km and shows significant lateral variations. (2) The lithospheric mantle beneath the Baikal-Mongolia region shows important redox heterogeneities, with a sharp decrease in oxygen fugacity (from +0 to -3 AlogfO2 (FMQ)) during the transition from the spine! to garnet facies peridotites at 50 to 90 km. (3) The speciation of C-O-H fluids changes with depth from essentially H2O-CO2 in the shallow lithospheric mantle to H2O-CH4 at the lithosphere-asthenosphere boundary regardless of the thermal state and the thickness of the lithosphere

Processos de fusão parcial e metassomatismo foram identificados em xenólitos mantélicos da Província Ígnea Alto Paranaíba (PIAP), na região de Coromandel (Minas Gerais), pela combinação de técnicas de análise textural (petrografia, microscopia eletrônica de varredura), análises químicas minerais pontuais de elementos maiores (por Microssonda Eletrônica), traços (por LA-Q-ICPMS) e isótopos (Sr em clinopiroxênio por LA-MC-ICPMS). Os xenólitos, oriundos dos kimberlitos Indaiá 1, Limeira 1 e Forca, foram divididos em três grupos exibindo texturas, mineralogia e química distintas: peridotitos com espinélio ou Cr- espinélio, interpretados como fragmentos de fácies espinélio no manto litosférico raso; xenólitos com flogopita e/ou clinopiroxênio secundário representando porções do manto litosférico que sofreram metassomatismo por interação com fluidos ou magmas; e dunitos e harzburgitos com textura mosaico porfiroclástica a fluidal compatíveis com porções que sofreram efeitos de um fluxo térmico maior, possivelmente associadas a astenosfera ou a zonas de maior permeabilidade na litosfera. De modo geral os xenólitos mantélicos da Província Ígnea do Alto Paranaíba foram afetados por intensa fusão parcial, indicada especialmente pelo alto valor de mg# em olivina e ortopiroxênio, e pelo empobrecimento de Al em clinopiroxênio e minerais do grupo do espinélio. Boa parte desses xenólitos foi modificada por metassomatismo modal e/ou críptico, que atingiu inclusive níveis rasos do manto litosférico (fácies espinélio). Os harzburgitos e dunitos com textura porfiroclástica com mosaico têm baixos valores de mg# em olivina e ortopiroxênio, e altas concentrações de de Ti, Ca e Na em relação aos demais grupos de amostras sugerindo um processo de metassomatismo críptico de alta temperatura (astenosfera, ou zonas permeáveis da litosfera). Estimativas com base em razões \'Y IND.N\' e \'Yb IND.N\' (normalizadas por Manto PrimitivoPM) em clinopiroxênio, indicam que os peridotitos com Cr-espinélio sofreram uma porcentagem maior de fusão parcial (15-20%), em relação aos peridotitos com espinélio (5-8%), e preferencialmente fracionada. Em algumas amostras nos peridotitos com Crespinélio ainda são encontrados padrões enriquecidos de \'ETRL IND.N\', indicando processos de metassomatismo críptico. Os cristais de clinopiroxênio das amostras de xenólitos metassomatisados têm padrão de distribuição de \'ETR.IND.N\' semelhantes entre si, com padrão de \'ETRL IND.N\' convexo e enriquecido em relação aos \'ETRP IND.N\' (\'La IND.N\' e \'Lu IND.N\', respectivamente 5-14xPM e 0,3-1xPM). Uma amostra de harzburgito com bolsões de clinopiroxênio (In1-12), tem o clinopiroxênio com as maiores razões de \'ETR IND.N\' do conjunto, mantendo o padrão de \'ETRL IND.N\' convexo e enriquecido em relação aos \'ETRP IND.N\' \'(La IND.N\' e \'Lu IND.N\', respectivamente 2543xPM e 1-2,5xPM) dos peridotitos metassomatisados. Razões \'ANTPOT.87 Sr\'/ANTPOT. 86 Sr\' de clinopiroxênio desta última amostra (0,706-0,714) e de flogopita ilmenita wehrlito (0,706-7,10) sugerem que o metassomatismo seria derivado de porção da astenosfera ou litosfera com material proveniente de subducção de crosta. Um valor mais baixo de razão \'ANTPOT. 87 Sr\'/\'ANTPOT.86 Sr\' para clinopiroxênio de peridotito com espinélio (0,703),indica, juntamente com aspectos texturais e de química de maiores e traços, pouca ou nenhuma, influencia do metassomatismo nesta amostra. / Partial melting processes and metasomatism were identified in mantle xenoliths of the Alto Paranaíba Igneous Province (APIP), next Coromandel (Minas Gerais), by combining textural analysis techniques (petrography, scanning electron microscopy) and specific mineral chemical analyzes of major elements (for Electronic Microprobe), trace elements (LA-Q-ICPMS) and isotopes (Sr in clinopyroxene by LA-MC-ICPMS). The xenoliths which are from Indaiá 1, Limeira 1 and Forca kimberlite were divided into three groups displaying different textures, mineralogy and chemistry: peridotites with spinel or Cr-spinel, were interpreted as fragments in the shallow lithospheric mantle; xenoliths with phlogopite and/or secondary clinopyroxene representing the lithospheric mantle portions that suffered metasomatism by interaction with fluids or magmas; and dunites and harzburgites with porphyroclastic texture with mosaic are compatible with portions that have suffered the effects of a higher heat flow, possibly associated with asthenosphere or zones of greater permeability in the lithosphere. Mantle xenoliths from APIP were affected by intense partial melting, suitable for high-value mg# of olivine and orthopyroxene, and the depletion of Al in clinopyroxene and spinel minerals from the group. Many of these xenoliths were modified by modal and/or cryptic metasomatism, which reached even shallow levels of the lithospheric mantle (facies spinel). Harzburgites and dunites with prophyroclastic texture with mosaic have low values of mg# and high concentrations of Ti, Ca and Na in olivine and orthopyroxene compared to other groups of samples suggesting a cryptic metasomatism process of high temperature. \'Y IND.N\' and \'Yb IND.N\' (normalized by Primitive Mantle-PM) ratios in clinopyroxene indicate that the peridotites with Cr-spinel suffered a higher percentage of partial melting (15-20%) compared to the peridotites with spinel (5-8%), and preferably fractional. Some samples in peridotites with Cr-spinel are still found \'LREE IND.N\' enriched ratios patterns, indicating cryptic metasomatism processes. The clinopyroxene crystals of metasomatized xenoliths samples have similar \'REE IND.N\' ratios pattern, with convex \'LREE IND.N\' pattern with higher ratios compared to \'HREE IND.N\' (LaN:5-14xPM and LuN 0,3-1xPM). A harzburgite with insterticial pockted clinopyroxene (In1-12), has the clinopyroxene with the highest \'REE IND.N\' of the set, the convex and enriched \'LREE IND.N\' pattern as well (\'La IND.N\': 25-43xPM and \'Lu IND.N\' 1-2.5XPM) of metasomatized peridotites. Clinopyroxene \'ANTPOT.87 Sr\'/\'ANTPOT.86 Sr\' ratios of the latter sample (0,706 to 0,714) and from phlogopite wehrlite ilmenite sample (0,706 to 0,710) suggest that metassomatism fluids from astenosphere or lithosphere were derivative from crust subduction processes. A lower value ratio \'ANTPOT.87 Sr\'/ANTPOT.86 Sr\' for clinopyroxene in peridotite with spinel (0,703), is in agreement with textural aspects, major and trace elements information, that this group of xenolith little, or no influence of metasomatism.
