Trace-elementmodeling of the petrogenesisof granophyresand in the Notch Peak granitic stockoUtah

AssrRAcr The petrogenesesof a granophyre and an in the Notch Peak stock, lJtah, were modeled using published experimentaldata for mineral/melt, mineraVfluid, and melVfluid partitioning of alkali, alkaline-earth and rare-earth elements.The stock rangesin compo- sition from to . The granophyreoccurs along a horizontal contact of the granite with overlying impermeable and contains graphic intergrowths ofalkali feldsparand quartz, displayingunidirectional solidification structures.Calculations suggestthat the granophyre formed by 2-l3o/o crystallization from an aqueousfluid that exsolved from the during emplacementand was trapped beneath the limestones. The observed strong enrichment of Ba and Sr in the granophyre relative to the ganite is due to largealkali feldspar/fluid partition coefficientsfor theseelements, while the depletion of large-ionJithophile elementsis due to their small solubility in aqueousfluids. On the other hand, the aplite, one of many crosscuttingthe stock, is depleted in Ba, Sr, and the REEs, while the concentration of highly chargedelements, Zr,Ta, Hf, Th, and IJ, is about the same as in the major lithologic units in the stock. It is not possible to explain the alkaline-earth element and REE concentrationsin the aplite by any model that employs mineral/melt partition coefrcients for anhydrousmelts. However, the "minimum granite" composition and the large concentration of the highly charged elements are difficult to explain by direct crystallization from aqueous fluids. It is apparent that the partition coefficientsof Ba, Sr, and the REEs betweenminerals and melt significantly increasewhen the system becomessaturated with chlorine-rich aqueousfluids. The results of this study have implications for the petrogenesisof pegmatitesand other aplites becausemany have depletion and enrichment characteristicssimilar to the aplite and granophyre at Notch Peak. It is shown that rocks that are the result offractionation offanhydrous melts can be distinguished on the basis of their major- and trace-element chemistries from those that crystallized in the presenceof aqueous fluids or those that crystallized directly from the fluids.

Michael (1984) modeled the petrogenesisof aplite dikes around the margin of the Cordillera Paine granite, Chile. Those aplites have very similar chemistry and chemical relation to the host granite as the aplites at Notch Peak. Michael concluded,primarily on the basis of low Ba and Sr concentrations in the aplite, that the aplites are the crystallizaton product from a residual melt derived by Fig.6.
