Abstract:
We report the major, rare earth, and other trace element compositions of clinopyroxenes from two Leg 140, Hole 504B diabase dikes. These pyroxenes reflect a complex history of crystal growth and magma evolution. The large ranges of composition found reflect incorporation of exotic phenocrysts into the melt, the early formation of crystal clots before dike intrusion during an undercooling event, and in-situ fractionation of melt during and following dike emplacement. Some of the pyroxenes occur in coarse two- and three-phase glomerocrysts, which may be ôprotogabbrosö representing early stages of melt crystallization in the lower crust. Large variations in trace element composition are found. These likely reflect heterogeneous nucleation and growth of plagioclase and pyroxene in the melt, as well as complex interface kinetics that may affect partition coefficients during rapid crystal growth expected during undercooling. This can explain the formation of irregular chemical sector zoning in some equant anhedral phenocrysts. Undercooling of magmas in the lower crust most likely reflects input of fresh hot melt into a stagnating melt-storage zone. Dikes intruded upward from an inflated melt-storage zone during such a cycle are likely to be larger than those intruded from the storage zone between such cycles, when it would be deflated, consistent with the greater overall thickness of the phyric dikes in the Leg 140 section of Hole 504B.
