The magmatic oceanic crust mainly consists of mafic rock types like plutonic gabbros and volcanic . Comparable small amounts of felsic rocks with >60 wt% SiO2 are known in the oceanic crust in forms of intrusive veins and plagiogranite bodies but only rarely in form of erupted lavas. Plagiogranitic rocks are well known from ophiolite complexes, which represent a typical sequence of rocks formed in an oceanic setting obducted and exposed on land. Ophiolites therefore provide an easy and less expensive opportunity to study oceanic crustal rocks and those magmatic evolution processes.

This thesis focuses on the particular information content provided by felsic rocks concern- ing various processes during crustal formation. The combination of parameters like e.g. crustal thickening, hydrothermal alteration and assimilation of crustal rocks during melt fractionation beneath a segment of the Pacific Antarctic Rise is discussed in chapter 3. I used major-, trace elements and isotope ratios (δ18O) of fresh and young glassy lavas (basalts, , ) and mineral compositions to model the amount of crystal fractionation and assimilation and to detect the composition of the assimilated material. The result of this study indicates that distinct amounts (30%) of hydrothermal modified crustal rocks must be assimilated to produce the felsic lavas.

I compared several felsic plutonic rock samples (plagiogranites) from two large and well- preserved ophiolite complexes (Troodos and Oman) with each other and with the as- sociated mafic rocks (gabbros, sheeted dykes and lavas) in chapters 4 and 5. Major-, trace elements and isotope ratios (Sr, Nd, Hf) of whole-rocks and mineral analyses (major elements) were used to demonstrate the genetic relation of the felsic intrusives with the majority of the mafic crustal rocks. The result of these studies indicates that the pla- giogranites in the Troodos and Oman ophiolite complexes comprise geochemical different groups. The plagiogranite groups are in each case related to different mafic crustal rocks and lavas indicative for a special magmatic phase. In particular the isotope analysis provide a high information potential including time progressive melt contamination during crust formation.

In summary, both processes, fractional crystallization of mafic melt and assimilation of partial molten crustal rock are important processes to generate felsic melt within oceanic crust settings. Kurzfassung

Die magmatische ozeanische Kruste besteht haupts¨achlich aus mafischen Gesteinen wie den plutonischen Gabbros und den vulkanischen Basalten. Vergleichsweise geringe Men- gen felsischer Gesteine mit > 60 wt.% SiO2, sind auch aus der ozeanischen Kruste bekannt, meist in Form von intrusiven Adern und Plagiogranitk¨orpern, jedoch nur selten als erup- tierte Laven. In Ophiolite Komplexen, welche typische Gesteinssequenzen repr¨asentieren, die in einem ozeanischen Milieu entstanden, obduziert und auf dem Land freigelegt wurden sind Plagiogranitintrusionen vergleichsweise h¨aufig. Ophiolite bieten daher eine einfache und kostengunstige¨ M¨oglichkeit, um ozeanische Krustengesteine und ihre magmatischen Entwicklungsprozesse zu untersuchen.

Diese Promotion untersucht speziell den Informationsgehalt felsischer Gesteine in Bezug auf Krustenbildungsprozesse. Kombinationen verschiedener Parameter, wie z.B. Krusten- verdickung, hydrothermale Ver¨anderung und Assimilation von Krustengesteinen w¨ahrend der Schmelzfraktionierung an einem Segment des Pazifisch-Antaktischen Ruc¨ kens, wer- den im Kapitel 3 diskutiert. Ich nutzte Haupt- Spurenelemente und Isotopenverh¨alt- nisse (δ18O) von frischen und jungen glasigen Laven (Basalte, , ) und die Mineralzusammensetzungen einerseits, um die Anteile von Kristallfraktionierung und Assimilation zu modelieren und andererseits, um die Zusammensetzung des assimilierten Materials zu ermitteln. Das Ergebnis dieser Studie ergibt, dass gr¨oßere Mengen (30%) hydrothermal ver¨anderten Krustengesteins assimiliert werden mussen,¨ um diese felsischen Laven zu erzeugen.

In Kapitel 4 und 5 vergleiche ich diverse felsische Intrusivgesteine (Plagiogranite) von zwei großen und gut erhaltenen Ophiolite Komplexen (Troodos und Oman) jeweils un- tereinander und mit den assoziierten mafischen Gesteinen (Gabbros, Dike-Komplex und Laven). Haupt-, Spurenelemente und Isotopenverh¨altnisse (Sr, Nd, Hf) des Gesamt- gesteins und Mineralanalysen (Hauptelemente) wurden genutzt, um die Zusammenh¨ange zwischen den felsischen Plutoniten und der mafischen Krustengesteine zu untersuchen. Die Ergebnisse dieser Studien demonstrieren, dass die Plagiogranite innerhalb des Troodos, sowie Oman Ophiolite Komplex geochemisch unterscheidbare Gruppen umfassen. In beiden F¨allen lassen sich die einzelnen Plagiogranitgruppen unterschiedlichen mafischen Krustengesteinen und Laven zuordnen, welche jeweils Indikativ fur¨ eine spezielle mag- matische Phase sind. Insbesondere die Isotopenanalysen beinhalten ein hohes Informa- tionspotential, z.B. in Bezug auf zeitlich voranschreitende Schmelzkontamination w¨ahrend der Krustenbildung. Kurzfassung 11

Zusammenfassend ergibt sich, dass sowohl fraktionierte Kristallisation von mafischer Schmelze als auch Assimilation von partiell geschmolzenem Krustengestein wichtige und nur schwer abgrenzbare Prozesse bei der Entstehung von felsischen Schmelzen innerhalb von ozeanis- cher Kruste sind.

Evolution of the Earth’s rock types

The Earth’s crust contains a wide range of different rock types, but can broadly be divided into the continental crust, forming the continents and continental shelf zones and the oceanic crust, which mostly forms the ocean basins (Fig. 1.1). Compared with other planetary crusts in the solar system, the formation process of the Earth’s continental crust appears unique (Taylor and McLennan, 2001). The anorthosites of the Moon’s crust represent a primary crust, which floated on an anhydrous magma ocean as a result of the melting of the moon during its accretion, whereas the lunar maria are the product of secondary partial melting of the Moon’s mantle, similar to the oceanic crust formation of the Earth (Taylor and McLennan, 2001).

The magmatic differentiation of the Earth into the lighter, more evolved continental crust, which is buoying upwards relative to the heavier, denser oceanic crust started shortly after the formation of the Earth at 4.51-4.55 Ga (e.g., Manhes et al. 1980). Neodymium model ages on upper continental crust rocks suggest that about 50% of the continental crust mass was generated by the end of the Archean (Taylor and McLennan, 1985). However, there are clear differences concerning the Archean craton rock composition (e.g. bimodal silica distribution, Na/K, REE, lack of Eu anomaly) compared to younger continental rocks generated along convergent continental margines (Kemp and Hawkesworth, 2003). The oldest K-rich granites, comparable with modern continental granites occur towards the end of the Archean after ∼3.0 Ga (Condie, 1993). The chemical differentiation of the Earth was therefore a process influenced in the Archean only by partial melting of the mantle and post-Archean also by further evolutionary processes like repeated remelting, fractional crystallization, assimilation or mixing of the melts (Taylor and McLennan, 1985; Kemp and Hawkesworth, 2003). By this means, the Earth’s material exsolved itself with the time and the results are geochemically and hence geophysically different rock domains: oceanic and continental crust (e.g. Hofmann, 1988; Wyllie, 1988). The origin of the petrologic differences between the continental and oceanic crusts is a matter of active debate.

The igneous oceanic crust is generally believed to consist of gabbros and basalts, whereas the average continental crust is andesitic in composition. Overall the igneous part of the continental crust contains a wide range of magmatic rock types, e.g. diorites, tonalites, granites and their metamorphic products. Generally, the dense oceanic crust is recycled

Whalen et al. 2002). The occurrence of felsic rocks in the oceanic crust is of particular importance to better constrain the average composition of the oceanic crust, which plays an essential role during and recycling. In particular, the question arises as to which processes lead to the formation of silica-rich rocks within the oceanic crust?

The overall aim of this thesis is to better constrain the processes and sources of felsic rocks forming along oceanic spreading centers along mid-ocean ridges and back-arc spreading centers.

Structure and geochemistry of the oceanic crust

Seismic models indicate variable velocities of P-waves that are interpreted as different layers within the oceanic crust (e.g. Spudich and Ocrutt, 1980 and references therein). This model is comparable to the petrological model based on field studies on ophiolites (e.g. Boudier and Nicolas, 1985, Nicolas et al. 1988) (Fig. 1.3) and deep drill cores (e.g. Detrick et al. 1994; Alt et al. 1996) confirming the concept of layered sequences in the oceanic crust. The igneous portion of the oceanic crust is commonly subdivided into 1. Introduction 20 three distinct layers (Fig. 1.3): pillow basalts and the sheeted dike complex are part of the volcanic layer (2) that is subdivided into the extrusive layer (2A) and the intrusive layer (2B). The gabbros form the layer 3 and the transition into peridotites of layer 4 represents the petrological Moho. The average total thickness of this igneous oceanic is about 7.1 0.8 km (White et al. 1992).

Incompatible element-depleted tholeiitic basalts are the product of mantle melting beneath a mid-ocean ridge (MORB) and the rocks are transported off-axis to each side of the spreading-center and finally recycled into the mantle by subduction. Additionally, due to subduction pelagic and continental sediments reach the mantle. Subduction of hydrother- mally altered oceanic crust initiates arc volcanism and the modified composition of the slab (including sediments) affects the composition of the arc magmatism (e.g. Kelemen et al. 2003 and references therein). Whereas MORB typically show only small ranges in

SiO2 content (48-52 wt%), arc lavas can reach SiO2 values > 60 wt% over a wide range in MgO content (Kelemen et al. 2003 and references therein). The differences in major element contents between parental MORB and arc melts and the comparable high water content in arc melts (e.g. Anderson, 1974; Sobolev and Chaussidon, 1996; Pichavent et al. 2002) results in a wide range of possible rock types in arcs e.g. (calc-alkaline-) basalts, andesites, adakites, ankaramites, picrites or boninites.

Spreading not only occurs at mid-ocean ridges but also in other decompression settings like e.g. a back-arc basin. The composition of back-arc spreading centres differs from that of normal mid-ocean ridge magmas, especially in terms of incompatible trace elements. Thus, Cs, Rb, Ba, Th, U, K, Sr, Pb and light rare earth elements (LREE) are enriched in most arc-related lavas compared to normal MORB, whereas Nb and Ta are depleted relative to other incompatible elements (Kelemen et al. 2003 and references therein). Nevertheless, in both settings, depleted mantle melts accumulate and generate gabbros, sheeted dikes and lavas.

Ophiolites were long interpreted as representing sections of normal mid-ocean ridges (e.g. Coleman, 1981, Nicolas et al. 1988, Boudier et al. 1988) and therefore most suitable for studying normal ocean crust formation. Recently, several authors suggest that the huge ophiolites (e.g. Semail ophiolite) are subduction zone-related (possible back-arc) oceanic crust (e.g. Rautenschlein et al. 1985, Muenow et al. 1990, Shervais 2001; Pearce and Robinson, 2010). Nevertheless, ophiolites may provide the unique opportunity to compare observations made along recently formed oceanic crust with older oceanic crust segments.

Magma composition and the important role of the magma chamber

Basalts and gabbros represent the volumetric majority of the igneous oceanic crust. In a simple model, partial melting (up to 20 %) of the depleted mantle produces tholeiitic

1. Introduction 22

It is largely accepted that melts are stored within shallow magma chambers of about one to several hundred meters in size below ridge axes (e.g. from geophysical studies: e.g. Morton and Sleep, 1985; Sinton and Detrick, 1992; Dunn et al. 2000), but generally, conclusions about magma chamber processes beneath recent mid-ocean ridges and the overall composition of the oceanic crust are mainly drawn by analyzing volcanic rocks (mid-ocean ridge basalts) and the minerals in these lavas.

Additionally, the presence of oceanic crustal rocks obducted onto continental crust (ophio- lites) offers a view into the oceanic crust via cross-sections and therefore facilitates insights within (frozen) magma chambers presented in form of upper gabbros (e.g. Smewing et al. 1984, Kelemen et al. 1997). Because drilling in recent oceanic crust is relatively difficult and expensive and only provides limited insight into the oceanic crust, a better understanding of the formation of mafic and evolved rocks in ophiolites provides an ideal alternative for studying deep oceanic rocks. Particularly, transects within the lower oceanic crust, even into the mantle lithology and large-scale rock relations and structures are relatively easy to study. Typical examples of ophiolites are: Macquarie Island (Australia), Bay of Island ophiolite (Newfoundland) and the Tethyan ophiolites all around the Mediterranean sea (Fig. 1.5) e.g. the Semail ophiolite (Oman and United Arab Emirates), the Troodos ophiolite (Cyprus), the Ligurian ophilites (Apennines, Italy), the Kizildag ophiolite (Turkey), the Beni Bousera ophiolite (Morocco)) and the ophiolites in the Himalaya. In chapter 2 and 3 of this thesis I have focused on the formation process of the plagiogranites occurring within the two largest and best-preserved complexes, the Semail and the Troodos ophiolites.

A view into the deep oceanic crust: Ophiolites and their formation processes

During the Penrose field conference (1972) a structural oceanic crust model and a relation to the structure and petrology of ophiolites was suggested. Prior to the conference Moores and Vine (1971) had identified the dike complex within the as identical to oceanic sheeted dikes.

Firstly spreading and then closing of an ocean must occur prior to obduction of oceanic crust onto continental crust. Mostly smaller ophiolites are interpreted to be tectonically disrupted oceanic crust fragments, intercalated within collisional terranes during a rising orogen. This small occurrence of oceanic lithosphere rocks on land often lacks a full stratigraphic sequence of oceanic crust. For example, the metamorphic tectonic m´elange of ocean crust fragments of the Alps and the Massive Central (e.g. Plankogel formation), which marks an ancient oceanic suture zone (Matte, 2001 and references therein).

Several authors suggested an intermediate to fast spreading “supra-subduction-zone set- ting” (SSZ) as most likely tectonic setting for the formation of large ophiolite complexes 1. Introduction 23 like the Troodos and the Oman ophiolite (e.g. Rautenschlein et al. 1985, Muenow et al. 1990, Shervais 2001; Dilek and Furnes, 2009, Pearce and Robinson, 2010). Shervais (2001) defines five life-cycles of a SSZ ophiolite (Fig. 1.6) as follows:

1. The birth-stage (Fig. 1.6a) includes the formation of the ophiolite in the vicinity of a subduction zone and the initiation of arc volcanism.

2. In the youth-stage (Fig. 1.6b) the partial melting of the previously depleted as- thenosphere mantle continued.

3. During the maturity-stage (Fig. 1.6c) a semi-stable calc-alkaline arc volcanism is often established.

4. Within the death-stage (Fig. 1.6d) the active spreading and the volcanism come to a sudden stop.

5. The resurrection-stage (Fig. 1.6e) is the process of crustal emplacement and obduc- tion upon continental crust.

Most ophiolite complexes do not undergo all of those stages (Shervais, 2001).

The occurrence of several evolved rocks in numerous single intrusions in the crustal (and even in the mantle) section of the Semail Ophiolite and the crustal section of the Troodos compared to the limited amounts of felsic rocks sampled from recent oceanic crust, leads to the question if the special circumstances of the SSZ ophiolite life-cycle possibly facilitate the formation of felsic rocks. According to Shervais (2001) plagiogranites are a product of the mature stage and part of the high-level intrusions feeding the volcanic sequence but the processes leading to the formation of the felsic rocks are still debated.

1. Introduction 26

Processes possibly leading to the formation of felsic melt within the oceanic crust

The formation of felsic magma (> 60 wt% SiO2) within the mafic ocanic crust is a matter of debate since several decades. The earliest interpretations of oceanic plagiogranites explained these by low-pressure fractional crystallization of a basaltic melt (e.g. Coleman and Peterman, 1975; Pallister and Knight, 1981; Lippard et al, 1986). Additionally, Baldridge et al (1973) concluded that the cyclic eruptions of basaltic – andesitic – ice- landitic lavas (SiO2 > 60 wt%) of Hekla volcano (Iceland) are the result of time-dependent fractionation in a sub-surface magma chamber between the eruptions. Similar conclusions were drawn from sequences of – ferrobasalt – ferroandesite to from the Galapagos spreading center (Byerly, 1980). An alternative model suggests partial melting of hydrous altered oceanic crustal rocks, which could be a more important formation process of oceanic felsic rocks especially of plagiogranites. Nicolas and Boudier (1991) proposed that a hydrous partial melt could be produced by a water ingression into young, still hot gabbros. Geochemical studies to date mainly aimed on trace element and isotope studies of the evolved rocks (e.g. Gillis and Coogan, 2002; Stakes and Taylor, 2003; Beard et al. 2005; Wanless et al 2010, 2011; Brophy and Pu 2012, Grimes et al 2013) and suggest that fractional crystallization alone can rarely be the exclusive formation process. O´Nions and Gr¨onvold (1973) discovered Icelandic with different initial Sr isotope ratios where several samples have similar Sr isotope ratios to their host basalts indicating a formation by differentiation. Other rhyolites show slightly more radiogenic Sr possibly indicating formation by partial melting of gabbros (O´Nions and Gr¨onvold, 1973).

It is still a matter of active debate whether partial melting of hydrothermally altered crustal rock alone or assimilation-fractional crystallization is the more important process during formation of felsic rocks within the oceanic crust. Gillis and Coogan (2002) described a magma chamber with the tendency of up- and downward movements triggered by melt supply and hydrothermal systems, most likely promoting anatexis of sheeted dikes, resulting in SiO2-rich leucosomes. Some experimental studies characterize the composition and mineral content of the suggested protoliths after a partial melting event (e.g. Koepke et al. 2004, 2007; France et al. 2010). Such protoliths were found in the oceanic crust and described as “granoblastic dikes” (equatorial Pacific: Wilson et al. 2006; Koepke et al. 2008) or “hornfelsic” rocks (Troodos: Gillis and Roberts, 1999; Gillis and Coogan, 2002) and comprise recrystallized gabbros and sheeted dikes. The abundance of such rocks suggests that partial melting events are highly common in oceanic crust and therefore may be an important mechanism for felsic rock generation. 1. Introduction 27

Important tools for studying generation processes of felsic magmas

Whereas experimental studies aim on the reproduction of a natural rock by melting and crystallizing experiments under varying and previously well-defined pressure, temperature and oxygen fugacity conditions (e.g. Koepke et al. 2004, 2007), the geochemical approach considers the composition of the natural sample. Major element variations define typical trends in a rock suite belonging to one or more magmatic processes like the differentia- tion of magma as a result of fractional crystallization. Typical tholeiitic trends during fractionation of olivine, plagioclase and clinopyroxene are defined by an increase in T FeO , Na2O, TiO2 and decrease in Al2O3 and CaO with decreasing MgO (Klein and Langmuir, 1987; Klein et al. 1991), whereas later the residual melt compositions also T shows a decrease in FeO , Na2O, TiO2 during the fractionation of FeTi-oxides and more

Na-rich feldspars. Major and trace element variation diagrams (e.g. TiO2 vs. SiO2 or Ce vs. SiO2) may provide evidence whether a felsic rock is produced by fractional crystallization or by partial melting of oceanic crust (Koepke et al. 2007; Brophy and Pu, 2012). Furthermore, incompatible trace element ratios of a rock sample may provide information on the composition and mineral content of its source, the melting degree of the source and crystallization processes. The partition coefficient of an element for a mineral-melt pair determines incorporation into the mineral respectively the concentration remaining in the melt during crystallization processes as well as during the melting of a rock. Modeling calculations simulating melting and crystallization are commonly used tools for testing rock-forming hypotheses. However, isotope ratios are also a powerful tool to detect source heterogeneities or mixing of magmas from different sources or can indicate assimilation processes e.g. of sediments (e.g. Pb, Nd) or hydrothermally altered crustal rocks (e.g. O isotopes) (e.g. Cox et al. 1999; Eiler et al. 2007; Chauvel et al. 2009; Chekol et al. 2010).

In short, felsic volcanic and plutonic rocks occur within oceanic settings and their for- mation processes, relations to the mafic rocks and particular information content are important with respect to their tectonic setting, physical properties within the crust and contamination processes. Careful geochemical analyses and interpretations are necessary to understand and distinguish the individual processes.

In this study, I will present results of assimilation-fractional crystallization processes in a mid-ocean ridge setting (Pacific-Antarctic Rise) as well as evidence of different magmatic phases in the Troodos and Oman ophiolites involving changes in melt compositions, water content and source contamination. 2 Aims of the study

Oceanic plagiogranites comprise only small volumes of rocks but are common in ophiolites and have been neglected during most geochemical crustal rock studies. Therefore, the main objective of this thesis was to identify the processes that produce felsic magmas in oceanic settings and detect the relations of the plagiogranites with the mafic crustal rocks. Furthermore, the informational value of oceanic plagiogranites concerning crustal generation processes should be tested. With the aim to attain major comparability, this thesis comprises three different sample settings, one in recent oceanic crust and two in ancient and huge, well-preserved ophiolite complexes. In the following each location comprises a single self-contained chapter.

3) “Oxygen isotope evidence for the formation of andesitic-dacitic magmas from the fast-spreading Pacific-Antarctic Rise by assimilation-fractional crystallisation” The third chapter subject fresh, unaltered, glassy lavas from basaltic to dacitic composi- tion from the Pacific-Antarctic Rise. The samples were dredged during two cruises of RV SONNE in 2001 and 2010. The oxygen isotope and mineral analyses are part of this thesis.

4) “Constraints on the formation of geochemically variable plagiogranite intrusions in the Troodos Ophiolite, Cyprus” The fourth chapter presents new geochemical and perological data for tonalites, throndhjemites and some basalts, andesites and gabbros from several locations in the Troodos ophiolite complex. The samples were collected during a fieldtrip in 2010 (3 weeks). The preparation was performed during 2010-2011 and comprises major element, trace element and mineral chemistry analyses.

5) “Constraints on the evolution of oceanic plagiogranites in the Semail-ophiolite, Oman” The fifth chapter presents data on oceanic plagiogranites from the Oman (Semail) ophiolite complex. The samples are tonalites, trondhjemites, granodiorites some basalts and gabbros from 30 outcrops in eight different tectonic blocks sampled during a three-week fieldtrip in 2011. The sample preparation was carried out from 2011 to 2013 and comprises major element, trace element, isotope analyses and mineral chemistry. 2. Aims of the study 29

Combining the results of the three chapters, there is not a single formation process of felsic melt within oceanic settings. Important processes are the differentiation of more primitive magmas and in most cases assimilation of hydrothermally altered oceanic crustal rocks. Careful approaches are necessary to detect distinct evidence. However, felsic rocks and oceanic plagiogranites are common rocks in recent oceanic crust as well as in ophiolites and require more attention within general models of oceanic crust formation. 3 Oxygen isotope evidence for the formation of andesitic-dacitic magmas from the fast-spreading Pacific-Antarctic Rise by assimilation-fractional crystallisation

3.1 Abstract

Andesitic to dacitic lavas occur along a 300 km long portion of the Pacific-Antarctic Rise close to the intersection of the spreading axis with the Foundation chain. The fresh silicic glasses have low δ18O isotope values between 5.6‰ and 5.1‰ whereas basaltic glasses from the same ridge section have normal MORB δ18O values. Additionally, two

FeTi basaltic and all silicic glasses have high Cl (up to 1.1 wt.%) and K2O (up to 1.6 wt.%) contents, indicating assimilation of hydrothermally altered material. Modelling suggests that the fractionating magma assimilated up to 30% of hydrothermally altered material after 57% fractional crystallisation of the basaltic magma in a melt lens at less than 2 km depth. In contrast, the basaltic glasses show little assimilation and clinopyroxene-melt barometry indicates crystal fractionation in deeper melt sills. Relatively low H2O/Ce and Li/Ce ratios as well as the low δ18O values and high Cl and K concentrations in the silicic glasses suggest assimilation of altered crustal rock rather than a brine. While some of the variability in highly incompatible element ratios is best explained by crystal fractionation processes of FeTi-oxides (e.g., decreasing Nb/U) others require a reaction of the melt with residual amphibole and clinopyroxene (Cl/K, Tb/Yb, Hf/Sm, Ce/Yb). The initial onset of FeTi oxide crystallisation is associated with a reduced oxygen fugacity causing sulfide saturation and significant loss of S, Cu, and Co from the evolved melts. This change to more reducing melts as a result of oxide crystallisation is supported by the strong development of a negative Eu anomaly in the andesites and dacites indicating stronger partitioning of Eu into plagioclase. Reverse mineral zoning in the evolved lavas also indicates that replenishment by mafic melts occurs in the shallow melt lens. 3.2. Introduction 31

3.2 Introduction

Mid-ocean ridges typically erupt basaltic lavas that formed by partial melting of depleted peridotites and pyroxenites in the upper mantle and were affected by relatively small amounts of fractional crystallization during ascent (Langmuir et al., 1992). However, rare but significant amounts of felsic magmas with >57 wt.% SiO2 are known from different oceanic settings including mid-ocean ridges (Byerly et al., 1976; Geist et al., 1995; Gunnarsson et al., 1998; Haase et al., 2005; Perfit et al., 1999; Regelous et al., 1999; Smith et al., 2003; Wanless et al., 2010; Wanless et al., 2011). Evolved silicic lavas in the oceanic crust are important in order to understand the generation of the earliest continental crust on earth (Rudnick et al., 2003; Taylor and McLennan, 1985) that must have formed by transformation from either mafic magmas or mafic rocks to more evolved magmas, i.e. by fractional crystallisation or partial melting and assimilation processes or a combination of these processes (Foley et al., 2002; Rollinson, 2008; Smithies et al., 2009).

Although magmas with more than 57 wt.% SiO2 can form by partial melting of hy- drothermally metamorphosed oceanic crust rocks (France et al., 2010; Koepke et al., 2007; O’Nions and Gr¨onvold, 1973), several recent geochemical and experimental studies have shown that extreme crystal fractionation from basaltic liquids appears to be the prevailing process (Berndt et al., 2005; Grove and Juster, 1989; Haase et al., 2005; Wanless et al., 2010). However, pure crystal fractionation of basaltic to andesitic/dacitic melt leads to significantly higher δ18O values in the silicic lavas relative to the basalts because the fractionating minerals have lower δ18O (Bindeman, 2008; Bindeman et al., 2004; Cooper et al., 2004; Eiler, 2001; Muehlenbachs, 1982). Fractional crystallisation processes of magmas in the oceanic crust are often associated with assimilation of hydrothermally altered material and O isotopes can help to understand these processes because the lower sheeted dykes and the uppermost gabbros show δ18O values as low as 3‰ as a result of high temperature hydrothermal alteration (Alt and Teagle, 2000; Alt, 2003; Harper et al., 1988; Ito and Clayton, 1983; Muehlenbachs and Clayton, 1972; Stakes and Vanko, 1986). Latent heating during crystal fractionation of magmas may lead to amphibole breakdown in the hydrothermally altered wall rocks and release of volatiles (Wanless et al., 2010; Wanless et al., 2011). The incorporation of wall rock by either partial melting or assimilation can greatly modify the composition and fractionation pathway of the initial melt and may produce a wide range of rock types (Haase et al., 2005).Thus, understanding the mechanisms of assimilation-fractional crystallisation (AFC) in the oceanic crust is essential for our understanding of the formation of evolved melts in general.

Here, we present new O isotope, geochemical and petrological data for basaltic and andesitic to dacitic glasses from the Pacific-Antarctic Rise near the Foundation Hotspot chain. We extend the AFC model of Haase et al. (2005) and show that the formation of silicic lava occurs in shallow magma chambers and is coupled with the formation of 3.4. Results 32

FeTi-rich basaltic melt. As a consequence of shallow storage the evolved melts indicate sig- nificant assimilation of hydrothermally altered material. In contrast, the basaltic magmas stagnated deeper in the crust (>3.4 1 kbar) and show no evidence for assimilation. The abundance of intermediate to evolved lavas on the Pacific-Antarctic ridge in the vicinity of the Foundation Hotspot may be the result of an increased magma budget and crustal thickness.

3.3 Geological Background

The study area lies at the northern Pacific-Antarctic Rise (PAR), a fast-spreading mid- ocean ridge (MOR) with spreading rates of up to 10 cm/yr at 35◦S and an axial ridge width of 2 to 5 km. In the north the studied PAR segment is bounded by a large overlapping spreading center at 36.5◦S but the neovolcanic zone south of 36.5◦S is linear without significant offsets and deviations (Fig. 3.1). The summit trough is approximately 200 m wide with abundant signs of recent volcanic and hydrothermal activity (Hekinian et al., 1997; Lonsdale, 1994). The time-progressive Foundation seamount chain intersects the PAR between 37 and 38◦S, probably reflecting the interaction of the PAR with a deep mantle plume (Maia et al., 2001; O’Connor et al., 1998). The PAR lavas close to the Foundation are slightly enriched in incompatible elements but towards the south, the compositions progressively change to depleted MORB with distance from the intersection with the hotspot (Hekinian et al., 1999; Hekinian et al., 1997). This geochemical gradient is believed to reflect the influx of enriched plume material from the Foundation deep mantle plume into the melting zone underneath the PAR. Basaltic as well as andesitic to dacitic glasses were recovered between 36.5◦ and 39.5◦S in water depths between 2190 m and 2250 m (Fig. 3.1) and the evolved melts were shown to have formed by AFC processes in shallow magma lenses (Haase et al., 2005). Both evolved and basaltic samples were recovered within individual dredges, implying close spatial proximity of eruptive vents. The fast-spreading rate of 10 cm/yr requires time intervals of less than 2000 years between mafic and evolved eruptions (Haase et al., 2005). We discriminate the samples in terms of decreasing Foundation plume influence as described in Haase et al. ◦ ◦ (2005), in northern (= 36.5-38.05 S) and southern (= 38.05-40 S) and the SiO2 content (basaltic, andesitic, dacitic) (Fig. 3.2).

3.1, supplementary Table 1) SiO2, CaO, and Al2O3 show relatively well-defined trends with MgO contents ranging from basalt via FeTi-enriched basalt and andesite to dacite in composition, comparable with published MOR lavas e.g. from the northern East Pacific Rise (EPR) (Fig. 3.3). However, between about 3 and 4 wt.% MgO we find two different T lava types where one is typical FeTi-basaltic with TiO2 of 3.5 wt.% and FeO of 16.5 T wt.% and the other andesitic, i.e. with higher SiO2 and K2O but lower FeO , TiO2 than the FeTi basalts. Calcium constantly decreases with decreasing MgO and Al2O3 shows a shallower decreasing slope for most glasses with less than 4 wt.% MgO and a steeper one for the basalts. As mentioned above the K2O contents in a group of andesites with about 3 to 4 wt.% is significantly higher than that of the FeTi basalts and other primitive andesites but all of these K-rich andesites are from the PAR closest to the Foundation seamount chain, i.e. between 37.1◦S and 38.2◦S.

Trace element variations in the PAR glassses

Both the compatible and incompatible trace elements (Table 3.1 and supplementary Table 1) vary considerably with decreasing MgO contents (Fig. 3.4). For example, Ni, Cu, and Cr (not shown) decrease monotonously with decreasing MgO but the Co contents remain constant in the basalts and FeTi basalts but are much lower and show a decreasing trend in the andesites. Similarly, Sr concentrations are constant in the basaltic glasses and decrease in the silicic glasses (Fig. 3.4D). The incompatible elements like La or Zr increase with 3.4. Results 37

The incompatible element trends show a steepening of the slope at 4 wt.% MgO (Figs. 3.4E, F).

The S contents in the basaltic glasses vary considerably between about 1600 and 700 ppm but appear to be constant between 8 and 4 wt.% MgO (Fig. 3.5A). In contrast, the andesites and dacite show significantly lower S concentrations and most samples indicate a broad decreasing trend from about 1100 ppm S at 4 wt.% MgO to 100 ppm in dacites. Importantly, Cl contents are low in all basaltic and FeTi basaltic glasses (>0.12 wt.%) whereas the evolved glasses with the exception of two samples have high Cl concentrations (0.5 – 1.2 wt.%) (Fig. 3.5B). Interestingly, the dacites have lower Cl concentrations (0.8- 0.9 wt.%) than some andesites, suggesting non-linear enrichment processes.

The incompatible trace element ratios show significantly different behaviour of incom- patible elements during the evolution of the melts from 8 to 0.5 wt.% MgO (Fig. 3.6).

Primitive mantle normalized (Ce/Yb)N are slightly higher (>1.3) in basalts adjacent to the Foundation Seamounts (37-38.0◦S) than in PAR MORB south of 38◦S (Fig. 3.6A) and a similar distinction is obvious in the evolved glasses. The silicic glasses show increasing

Calculated mixing between the most primitive and the most evolved sample, a calculated fractional crystallisation trend and a calculated assimilation-fractional crystallisation trend are shown. The calculated trends suggest that, fractional crystallisation alone could not generate the trace element pattern of the evolved lavas. Mixing between two different end members is also unlikely. 3.4. Results 43 between 8 and 4 wt.% MgO, the Eu/Eu* decreases much steeper at MgO lower than 4 wt.% (Fig. 3.6B) indicating increasing fractionation of plagioclase.

Some incompatible element ratios like Ce/Pb, Nb/U and Hf/Sm were shown to be constant in mafic rocks from the oceans (e.g. Hofmann et al. (1986)). However, we find that the evolved lavas show significantly different ratios than the PAR MORB (Figs. 3.6C, D, E). For example, Hf/Sm is nearly constant in the basaltic glasses but andesites with about 2 wt.% MgO show a wide range of 0.8-1.3, whereas some andesites with higher MgO content have comparatively high Hf/Sm of 1.1-1.2. In terms of the Ce/Pb ratios the PAR basalts (20-33) generally lie within the normal MORB range of 25 5 (Hofmann et al., 1986) whereas the silicic glasses have increasing Ce/Pb ratios up to 44. Nb/U and

(Te/Yb)N generally decrease with decreasing MgO in the silicic glasses (Fig. 3.6F). All basalts have constant (Te/Yb)N ratios of 1.1-1.2 similar to the FeTi basalts. The Nb/U ratios of the PAR basalts and FeTi basalts are constant within the range of global MORB

(Hofmann et al., 1986). In contrast, the andesites show variable Nb/U and (Te/Yb)N and the dacites have the lowest of Nb/U and (Te/Yb)N ratios. Both basalt types, the FeTi basaltic glasses and the silicic glasses have decreasing Sr/Nd with decreasing MgO (Fig. 3.6G).

The highly incompatible element ratio Cl/K increases slightly with decreasing MgO in basaltic glasses similar to EPR lavas whereas the silicic glasses generally have much higher Cl/K (>0.6) (Fig. 3.6H). The dacites have comparatively low ratios (0.73 and 0.77) similar to the silicic lavas from the EPR. Figure 3.6 also shows calculated fractional crystallisation trends (Rayleigh fractionation), potential mixing trajectories between primitive basaltic and evolved dacitic magma and AFC trends (calculated). H2O/Ce and Li/Ce ratios generally appear to decrease with decreasing MgO in the basaltic to dacitic glasses (Figs. 3.7A, B).

Oxygen isotope compositions of the PAR glasses

Unaltered, fresh glasses of recent volcanic rocks can be used to directly infer primary magmatic δ18O values (Bindeman, 2008). The PAR basaltic glasses display a typical narrow MORB range in δ18O from 5.5‰ to 5.7‰ while the andesitic and dacitic glasses generally have lower than expected values between 5.6‰ and 5.1‰ with a mean of 5.4‰ (Fig. 3.7C). Pure crystal fractionation as well as low-temperature hydrothermal alteration of the glasses or contamination with sediment would produce distinctly higher δ18O values in the silicic lavas compared to the basaltic glasses (Bindeman, 2008). However, there is recently no known process to decrease the δ18O within a fractionating melt except contamination with low δ18O material. The decreasing δ18O in andesites and dacites from the PAR differs from increasing δ18O values observed in some evolved lavas of the Galapagos Spreading Center (GSC) (Byerly, 1980; Muehlenbachs, 1982). The PAR silicic glasses resemble the trend found in lavas from the eastern GSC (Michael and Cornell, 3.4. Results 44

3.4.2 Petrography and mineral chemistry

The basaltic and silicic lavas contain few crystals in a glassy matrix only few cm below the pure glassy rim.

Mineral compositions in the basaltic lavas

Phenocrysts in the basaltic lavas (>1 mm) are generally much larger compared to phe- nocrysts in the evolved lavas. Basaltic lavas contain clinopyroxene and plagioclase, but olivine (Fo80) phenocrysts are rare and small (>0.2 mm). The clinopyroxene and plagio- clase grains (average size of 0.4 mm) were measured from core toward the rim (parallel to the optic zoning. The plagioclases are normal Ca-rich (average core composition: An68) and the clinopyroxenes are augites (average En54 Fer12 Wo34). The mineral composition of the PAR basaltic lava is very similar to the minerals within the fractionated tholeiitic basalts from the EPR (Batiza et al., 1977). 3.5. Discussion 45

Mineral compositions of the silicic lavas

The minerals occurring in the glassy to cryptocrystalline matrix are plagioclase and clinopyroxene (maximum size of 0.2 mm) and accessory oxides (>10 µm). Clinopyroxene is mostly euhedral-subhedral and is optically and chemically zoned, frequently displaying a characteristic hourglass texture. A few augites show sieve textures and are inversely zoned, i.e. their Mg# increases from core to rim. These sieve-textured and inversely zoned clinopyroxenes are larger than the normally zoned clinopyroxenes (0.35 – 0.4 mm). The evolved sample SO157 6DS2 (andesite) displays both, normally and inversely zoned augites (e.g. normally zoned: core Mg#79, rim Mg#63; inversely zoned: core Mg#53 versus rim Mg#69). Additionally, a few normally zoned clinopyroxenes show a steep decrease in Mg# from core to rim (e.g. core Mg#81, outer rim Mg#49). Plagioclase occurs as euhedral-subhedral laths and displays a compositional range from labradorite to oligoclase with a normal zoning, (average of various plagioclase measurements of 5 samples (andesites) core: An28−43; rim: An28−43). The compositions of the clinopyroxene and plagioclase crystals of the evolved lavas overlap with those known from ferrogabbros in the southeast Pacific (Constantin et al., 1996; Natland and Dick, 1996).

3.5 Discussion

3.5.1 Liquid lines of descent and fractional crystallisation processes

The PAR lavas show a significant range of Nd isotopes, Nb/Zr and (Ce/Yb)N ratios with the lavas closest to the Foundation Seamount being most enriched in terms of incompatible elements (Fig. 3.2, 3.6). This systematic variation along the PAR reflects the inflow of enriched material from the Foundation plume (Hekinian et al., 1999; Hekinian et al., 1997; Maia et al., 2001). However, although the samples along the 300 km long portion of the PAR have different mantle sources, we find that basaltic and evolved lavas occurring in close proximity have similar sources as reflected by similar Nd isotope ratios. The glasses lie along relatively tight continuous trends in the major elements indicating the processes during melt formation and ascent are largely similar and resemble the experimentally produced crystal fractionation trend of Juster et al (1989). Glasses with 2.5 to 6 wt.% MgO appear to be rare and we only recovered two glasses with FeTi-basaltic composition (Fig. 3.3B, D). In order to test whether solely crystal fractionation processes can generate the silicic glasses we used the MELTS algorithm (Ghiorso and Sack, 1995) starting with a representative, primitive basaltic sample (SO157 17DS1, Table 3.1). The fractional crystallisation model yields a reasonable fit to the basaltic glasses up to the FeTi-rich basalts (samples SO100 106DS2 and SO100 106DS3) and two of the more FeTi-rich northern andesitic glasses (SO157 30GTV1 and SO100 105DS1) with the notable exception of Al2O3 that is too low in the model compared to the glass compositions (Fig. 3.3C). We suggest that the observed variation in the basaltic glasses between 8 and 4 wt.% MgO 3.5. Discussion 46 reflects fractional crystallization during stagnation in crustal magma chambers. Crystal fractionation can also explain the enrichment of incompatible elements like K2O in some evolved glasses but most show higher K contents. Even more extreme is the enrichment of Cl in the andesites and dacites and Cl increases much more than K as observed in the higher Cl/K ratios in the andesites compared to the basalts. Thus, the pure fractional crystallisation model fails to reproduce the more evolved compositions as well as the range in major and trace elements for andesitic glasses with less than 4 wt.% MgO. The most likely process leading to the extreme enrichment of Cl is the assimilation of wall rocks that were hydrothermally altered by seawater (Haase et al., 2005; Michael and Schilling, 1989). Consequently, we agree with previous studies (Haase et al., 2005) that the generation of the silicic PAR melts is a combined process involving assimilation and crystal fractionation of basaltic magmas derived from variably plume influenced mantle sources.

3.5.2 Constraints on assimilation processes in the generation of silicic PAR magmas

Assimilation of wall rocks that reacted with seawater is the most likely process leading to the high Cl contents in the evolved magmas (Fig. 3.5B) and Cl/K (Fig. 3.6H). Michael and Cornell (1998) propose the limit of Cl/K between >0.01-0.08 for pristine MORB and suggest that higher values in MOR lavas are related to assimilation. Furthermore, Haase et al. (2005) observe slightly higher Sr isotope ratios for a given 206Pb/204Pb of some of the evolved PAR lavas compared to the PAR basalts. The decoupling of the Sr isotope system from Pb in the silicic melts reflects assimilation of seawater Sr (seawater 87Sr/86Sr about 0.709, e.g. (Hess et al., 1986; Richter et al., 1992)) and the flux of hydrothermal fluids in the crust increases the Sr isotope ratio in the uppermost 1 km of the oceanic crust (Alt and Teagle, 2003; Alt et al., 1996). The δ18O of fresh MORB glasses range between 5.4‰ and 5.8‰ (Eiler et al., 2000) and the PAR basalt glasses lie within this range whereas the evolved glasses have similar or lower δ18O ratios (5.1 - 5.6‰) than the basalts and thus significantly lower than expected for silica rich lavas (Fig. 3.7C). In a fractionating melt, the δ18O increase from basalt to andesite because the fractionating minerals (olivine and pyroxene) have lower δ18O than the melt and thus drive the evolving melt to up to 0.4‰ higher δ18O values than in the basalts (Bindeman, 2008; Bindeman et al., 2004; Cooper et al., 2004; Eiler, 2001; Muehlenbachs, 1982). However, the lower sheeted dykes and the uppermost gabbros in the oceanic crust show δ18O values decreasing down to 3‰ as a result of high temperature (>200◦C) alteration (Alt and Teagle, 2000; Alt, 2003; Harper et al., 1988; Ito and Clayton, 1983; Muehlenbachs and Clayton, 1972; Stakes and Vanko, 1986). During the ascent the PAR magmas pass through this alteration zone and in combination with the other signs of assimilation (increased Cl contents and Sr isotopes) we propose that the low δ18O of the evolved magmas are due to assimilation of altered material with low δ18O. 3.5. Discussion 47

France et al. (2010) compare experimental melts produced by partial melting of hydrous gabbros with melts formed by partial melting of hydrothermally altered sheeted dykes. Partial melting of the dykes produces silicic melts under low pressure, water-saturated conditions and high f O2 (QFM1-QFM2). These melts are enriched in Si and K but slightly depleted in Mg and Ca (compared to melts formed during pure MORB frac- tionation) whereas hydrous partial melting of oceanic gabbros generates melts depleted in incompatible elements like Ti and K because of their mineralogy and composition. Furthermore, the temperatures for ≤ 30% partial melting of hydrothermally altered ◦ dykes did not exceed 940 C producing melts with SiO2 ≥ 68.5% (France et al., 2010). Consequently, the observed enrichment of K in the PAR silicic glasses relative to the basalts (Fig. 3.3F) cannot be due to assimilation of gabbros, but requires assimilation of relatively K-rich portions of the lower sheeted dyke complex. Hydrothermally altered rocks at 1000 m below seafloor in the lower sheeted dykes have high Cl contents (Sano et al., 2008), 87Sr/86Sr isotope ratios up to 0.706 and comparatively low δ18O (6 to 3‰) (Alt and Teagle, 2000; Alt, 2004; Alt and Teagle, 2003) and we suggest that such material is assimilated by the evolved PAR melts. We conclude that the chemical characteristics of the evolved PAR lavas suggest assimilation of seawater-altered material, most likely at the base of the sheeted dyke complex in a melt lens as described from plutonic rocks (Natland and Dick, 1996; Natland and Dick, 2009). In contrast, the basaltic glasses show no signs of interaction with the hydrothermally altered portion of the crust and thus resided deeper (detailed discussion in chapter 4.4) in the crust.

3.5.3 Evidence from mineral compositions for melt evolution and the link to oceanic ferrogabbros

Clinopyroxene phenocrysts in the basalts and many minerals in the evolved lavas are zoned (decreasing MgO# from mineral core toward the rim) in agreement with fractional crystallisation. The evolved sample SO157 6DS2 (Mg#glass 23) contains both, normally and inversely zoned clinopyroxenes with the inversely zoned augites being larger (0.35 – 0.4 mm) than the normally zoned clinopyroxenes (average 0.2 mm) and most of the inversely zoned clinopyroxenes show sieve textures combined with a euhedral habitus. Sieve- textured plagioclase and clinopyroxene indicate disequilibrium or large oversaturation and rapid crystal growth by extreme undercooling (Nelson and Montana, 1992; Shaw and Dingwell, 2008). The cores of the inversely zoned, sieve-textured clinopyroxenes (sample

SO157 6DS2) are in equilibrium with a melt having Mg#60−54, representing equilibrium crystallisation in a melt with 2.5 to 2 wt% MgO (Putirka et al., 1996) whereas the cores of the normally zoned clinopyroxene in sample SO157 6DS2 are in equilibrium with a melt with Mg#82−71, representing equilibrium with MgOmelt of 5.3 to 3.5 wt%. We suggest that the mineral zoning is most likely due to replenishment of the reservoir by mafic magma. One possible scenario is that minerals crystallised in equilibrium with an andesitic melt remain in the melt lens after an extrusion event and were mixed with more mafic melt as 3.5. Discussion 48 a result of magma recharge before it was incorporated again into the fractionating melt. Such frequent magma mixing events may be typical for the melt lens at fast-spreading ridges as outlined by Natland and Dick (1996; 2009).

The plagioclase and clinopyroxene crystals in the evolved melts from the PAR have similar compositions to those from ferrogabbros sampled from the EPR. These ferrogabbros are believed to indicate extreme fractional crystallisation in the shallow crust of fast-spreading ridges and such rocks appear to be the latest intrusions in one magmatic cycle (Constantin et al., 1996; Natland and Dick, 1996; Natland and Dick, 2009) and thus represent the plutonic counterparts of the evolved PAR lavas. However, whereas Constantin et al. (1996) suggested that evolved melts like FeTi basalts, andesites, and ferrogabbros form close to first-order axial discontinuities as a result of extreme cooling, the PAR lavas occur in an area without large offsets in the spreading axis (Fig. 3.1). On the other hand, Natland and Dick (1996) proposed that the melt lens at fast-spreading axes consists of evolved melts from the low-temperature top of a large more mafic cumulate body. The occurrences of FeTi basaltic and evolved glasses along the PAR indicate that such melts are not restricted to large discontinuities but may also occur in the centres of segments. We conclude that the chemical and petrological similarities between the PAR FeTi basalts, andesites and dacites and evolved plutonic rocks imply a close relationship by fractional crystallisation processes in a very shallow melt lens.

3.5.4 Fractionation of the PAR magma: oxide crystallisation and its effects on the magma composition

Rarely basaltic melts at mid-ocean ridges fractionate so extensively that andesitic and more silicic melts form but tholeiitic melts show a typical evolutionary trend of early Fe and Ti enrichment and decreasing abruptly at about 4 wt% MgO as a result of the onset of crystallisation and fractionation of FeTi oxides (Juster et al., 1989). In a closed system, this onset changes the parameters of fractional crystallisation significantly, for example, by decreasing the f O2 due to oxide formation (Byers et al., 1984). The change of the f O2 affects other elements and, for example, we observe that the evolved melts develop a much more negative Eu anomaly than the basalts in agreement with a decreasing f O2 at about 4 wt.% MgO (Fig. 3.6B). This stronger fractionation of Eu relative to the other rare earth elements is due to the fact that the Eu2+/Eu3+ ratio of a magmatic liquid depends on oxygen fugacity and Eu2+ is more compatible in plagioclase than Eu3+ (Drake, 1974; Drake and Weill, 1975; Philpotts, 1970; Sun et al., 1974). Consequently, more reduced melts have higher Eu2+/Eu3+ leading to stronger incorporation into fractionating plagioclase and a much more pronounced negative Eu anomaly in the silicic than the basaltic melts.

It has been suggested that the crystallisation of oxides leads to a lower solubility of S 2− 2− in silicate melts because SO4 is reduced to S which is then removed from the melt 3.5. Discussion 49 as Cu-Fe-sulfides (Jenner et al., 2010; Sun et al., 2004). Sulphur is significantly lower in most of the silicic glasses (Fig. 3.5A) but similar to other MORB studies (e.g. Jenner and O‘Neil, (2012)) we find that Cu is removed much earlier from the melts compared to the supposed onset of oxide fractionation (Fig. 3.4C), suggesting incorporation into another phase. For example, Cu may also partition into S-bearing volatiles that are degassing at depth from the magmas, (Rubin, 1997; Yang and Scott, 2002). In contrast, Co shows relatively constant contents at MgO higher than 4 wt.% but decreases at lower MgO (Fig. 3.4A) indicating that Co partitions into sulfides.

Hofmann et al. (1986) found that the Nb/U ratios in MORB are constant but in the PAR glasses we find a decrease in Nb/U (and Ta/U) in glasses with less than 4 wt.% MgO similar to the variation observed in the silica-rich EPR lavas (Wanless et al., 2010; 2011) (Fig. 3.6D). This decreasing trend could indicate that either Nb (and Ta) is more compatible than U in the fractionating assemblage or that U is assimilated from the hydrothermally altered rocks (Wanless et al., 2011). Because the Th/U ratio (not shown) increases slightly from the basaltic to the andesitic glasses, there is no evidence for enrichment of U as a possible result of assimilation. We suggest that Nb (as well as Ta) contents decrease relative to the U concentrations due the extensive ilmenite/Ti- magnetite crystallisation and fractionation. These oxide minerals have high distribution coefficients for Nb and Ta (Ewart and Griffin, 1994; Green and Pearson, 1987; Klemme et al., 2006) and fractionation of ilmenite and Ti-magnetite in evolved liquid can lower the Nb/U. Fractionation of apatite may be possible in the most evolved liquids but would lead to an increase in Nb/U because U is more compatible in apatite than Nb (Prowatke and Klemme, 2006). Thus, we conclude that the crystallisation of FeTi-rich oxide minerals is an important process during generation of silicic magmas leading not only T to decreasing FeO and TiO2 but also to decreasing S, to the pronounced Eu anomalies, and to decreasing Nb/U in evolved lavas.

3.5.5 Thermobarometric constraints on the depth of the mafic magma reservoir

In order to constrain the temperature and pressures of the fractionating PAR basaltic melt we use the clinopyroxene – melt thermobarometer of Putirka (2008). We only use values which meet the conditions described in Putirka (2008). Putirka et al. (1996) suggested that error analyses indicate that P estimates are as good as 1.0 kbar if averages of multiple equilibrium pyroxene/liquid pairs are used. Thus, we have compared two independent glasses and their corresponding clinopyroxenes and the pressure estimations are within standard deviation. The analyzed basaltic clinopyroxene cores (n=26) yield temperatures and equilibrium pressures that are similar within error of 1199 ( 8)◦C and 1212 ( 6)◦C and 3.4 ( 0.8) kbar and 3.9 ( 0.5) kbar, respectively (Table 3.3). The clinopyroxenes in the evolved lavas are in disequilibrium with the liquid composition 3.5. Discussion 50

(glass) and thus cannot be used for thermobarometry. The barometric results indicate that the basaltic melts started crystallizing at 9 ( 3) km depth which is in agreement with a slightly thickened crust of 9 km at 37◦S due to the increased melt production close to the Foundation Hotspot (Maia et al., 2001). We suggest therefore, that the basaltic liquids stagnate in a deep melt lens, fractionate olivine, plagioclase and clinopyroxene, and periodically inject melts into shallower levels in the crust where AFC leads to the formation of the FeTi basalts towards silicic magmas. Two magma reservoirs in the crust are believed to occur frequently in fast-spreading oceanic crust such as the East-Pacific Rise (Natland and Dick, 2009; Wanless and Shaw, 2012) or the Oman ophiolite (Boudier et al., 1996; Kelemen et al., 1997).

3.5.6 A quantitative AFC model for the PAR lavas

The high Cl and Cl/K but relatively low δ18O isotope ratios of the silicic PAR glasses indi- cate assimilation of hydrothermally altered crustal material (Fig. 3.8). In order to validate and expand the previous model of Haase et al. (2005) we use the Energy-Constrained

Recharge, Assimilation, and Fractional Crystallisation (EC-RAX FC) software (Bohrson and Spera, 2007) to model the evolution of O isotope variation and Cl and K concentration (Fig. 3.8; Table 3.2b). Furthermore, we use AFC calculations of DePaolo (1981) to determine the trace element composition and we use the MELTS algorithm for modelling the effect of AFC on the major element composition. Koepke et al. (2008) suggested that 3.5. Discussion 51

Thus, we have chosen a sample preferably less affected by prior partial melting events (relatively high K2O and H2O: 209-1256D-

80R-2, 92-102 (Neo et al., 2009); Table 3.2a) for modelling. The high K2O resides either in plagioclase or in amphibole (Koepke et al., 2008). We assume that the trace element composition of the assimilated PAR crustal material resembles an average PAR basalt. To produce the observed trend in the evolved PAR lavas we require a potential crystallisation assemblage of 44.5% clinopyroxene, 47.5% plagioclase, 2.2% olivine and 5.8% oxides (e.g. ilmenite) (result of MELTS AFC calculation) and an assimilant containing 30% amphibole, 25% clinopyroxene, 41% plagioclase and 4% magnetite (AFC calculation of trace elements after DePaolo, 1981) starting with a southern basaltic magma (SO157 44DS1). We conclude that the calculated AFC trends fit the compositional variation of the evolved PAR glasses reasonably well and can best explain the observed enrichment, particularly in K2O and selected trace element ratios. Certainly the amount of assimilation versus fractional crystallization varies between different samples and furthermore, the composition of the parental magma varies with distance from the Foundation mantle plume. However, the results of the trace element and O isotope modelling (EC-RAX FC) imply that the maximal amount of assimilated wall rock must be on the order of 30% relative to the amount of parental magma (Fig. 3.8).

3.5.7 The nature of the assimilant and the role of amphibole

The chemical and mineralogical composition of the assimilant is not known and, for example, both brines and amphibole have been suggested as potential carriers of the high Cl contents (Coogan, 2003; Michael and Schilling, 1989). Oceanic basalts on average have Cl concentrations of less than 0.04 wt.% (Byers et al., 1986; Delaney et al., 1978; Michael and Schilling, 1989; Saal et al., 2002; Wanless et al., 2010) similar to most PAR basaltic glasses presented here (average 0.02 wt.%). In contrast, the FeTi-basalts (>0.1 wt.% Cl) and all silicic glasses show much higher Cl concentrations ranging up to 1.1 3.5. Discussion 52 wt.% (Table 3.1, Fig. 3.5B), higher than the Cl contents (up to 0.8 wt.%) of the GSC and EPR evolved glasses discussed by Byers et al. (1984; 1983) and Wanless et al. (2010). At 30% assimilation of wall rock suggested by our model, the assimilated material needs to be enriched in Cl ( 0.85 wt.%). Sparks (1995) analysed altered basalts from sheeted dykes in ODP/IODP drill sites that have Cl concentrations of 0.02-0.07 wt.% which is too low to explain the enrichment in the evolved PAR glasses. Michael and Schilling (1989) suggested that the increased Cl content of fresh glasses may reflect assimilation of Cl-rich phases like trapped brines or amphiboles. Hydrothermal amphiboles may contain up to 4 wt.% Cl (Ito et al., 1983; M´evel, 1987; Vanko, 1986) and amphibole is an important constituent of oceanic crust altered at high temperatures by hydrothermal fluids (Gardien et al., 2001; Honnorez, 2001). Brines from the hydrothermal systems should be enriched in H2O and Li (Chan et al., 2002) but depleted in Ce compared with crustal rock. We observe that H2O/Ce and Li/Ce ratios decrease in the silica rich lavas compared to the basalts (Figd. 3.7A, B) implying that the assimilated material had relatively low H2O and Li contents compared to Ce unlike the assumed composition of highly saline brines. On the other hand, hydrothermally formed amphiboles appear to have low Li but relatively high Ce contents and water contents based on the totals appear to be generally lower than 2 wt.% (Coogan et al., 2001). We suggest that the most likely source of the high Cl and low H2O/Ce and Li/Ce is hydrothermally formed amphibole in the assimilated rocks. Partial melting of amphibole-bearing altered mafic rocks can also affect the trace element ratios in the evolved lavas (Haase et al., 2005; Wanless et al., 2010) and, for example, Tb and Sm are more compatible in amphibole than Yb and Hf, respectively (Davidson et al., 2007). Indeed we find significant variations of (Te/Yb)N and Hf/Sm between the basaltic and andesitic lavas that may also reflect the presence of amphibole during magma genesis (Figs. 3.6E, F). An influence on the trace elements as a result of crystallisation of amphibole from the PAR evolved magma is unlikely because no amphibole is observed in the samples and because of the relatively low water concentrations (average of 0.32 wt.% H2O in the basaltic glass (Table 3.1). More likely is the assimilation of melts produced by partial melting of high-temperature metamorphic amphibole-bearing rocks, similar to those observed beneath the sheeted dyke complex (France et al., 2010; Koepke et al., 2008). The observed increase in Ce/Pb with decreasing MgO (Fig. 3.6C) contrasts with the distinctly lower Ce/Pb ratios in evolved lavas from the EPR (Wanless et al., 2010) and probably indicates more extreme fractionation of plagioclase during fractional crystallisation of the PAR magma and a higher amount of assimilated material. Excessive plagioclase fractionation is supported by the decreasing trend in Sr/Nd (Fig. 3.6G) and the negative Eu anomaly because Sr and Eu2+ are compatible in plagioclase. In conclu- sion, most of the variations in highly incompatible element ratios reflect a combination of crystal fractionation, e.g. of plagioclase (Ce/Pb, Sr/Nd) and ilmenite/Ti-magnetite (Nb/U), and assimilation processes (Cl/K). 3.6. Conclusions 53

3.5.8 Potential relationship between occurrence of silicic magmas along spreading axes, tectonic and hydrothermal processes

Silicic magmas are relatively rare along the global ocean spreading system and their occurrence may be related to specific tectonic settings or geochemical heterogeneities. Silicic magmas occur at propagating rift tips, for example, close to the East Rift of the Easter Microplate (Naar and Hey, 1991) and also in the Valu Fa backarc (Fretzdorff, 2006). More recently, Wanless et al. (2010) suggested that the silicic magmas formed at propagating rift tips and at overlapping spreading centers as a result of waning magma supply after a dyke intrusion event. However, the PAR between 36.5 and 40◦S does not show significant offsets of the spreading axis (Lonsdale, 1994) (Fig. 3.1) and the relatively high spreading rate requires a high rate of magma replenishment. Thus, the PAR silicic lavas were generated in relatively hot crust and rift propagation into colder oceanic crust cannot cause the extreme fractionation toward andesitic-dacitic magma. Recent studies of seismic and geochemical data observed more evolved lavas on fast- spreading ridge segments with high magma supply rates (Colman et al., 2012; Toomey and Hooft, 2008) and we infer that the PAR close to the Foundation Seamounts must also be an area of relatively high magma supply. Furthermore, the evolved lavas on the PAR are associated with active hydrothermal venting (Stoffers, 2001) similar to other evolved lava occurrences coupled with hydrothermal activity (Galapagos spreading center (Perfit et al., 1999); central volcanoes in Iceland (Gunnarsson et al., 1998; Saemundsson, 1979)). Thus, we speculate that an increased magma supply due to inflow of hot Foundation mantle plume material leads to thicker crust and multiple magma reservoirs in the crust as well as to increased hydrothermal circulation in the shallow PAR crust. This may be the cause for the abundance of evolved lavas on the about 300 km long part of the PAR.

3.6 Conclusions

The generation of andesitic-dacitic low δ18O glasses and FeTi basalts at the PAR most likely is the result of a combination of AFC processes during magma ascent, conducted through an unusually thick, plume-influenced MOR crust (Fig. 3.9). Magma evolution starts with a basaltic melt in a deep crustal sill, indicated by clinopyroxene-melt barom- etry. Relatively evolved FeTi-basaltic melts ascend into the upper crust at perhaps 1 km depth where melt lenses form below the hydrothermally altered sheeted dykes. This wall rock becomes partly assimilated during crystal fractionation processes. EC-RAX FC (Bohrson and Spera, 2007) as well as MELTS (Ghiorso and Sack, 1995) models suggest >57% crystallisation of the basaltic magma and up to 30% assimilation of hydrothermally altered dykes are required to explain the major and trace elements as well as O isotope ratios observed in the andesitic-dacitic glasses from the PAR. The unusually low δ18O values of the silicic PAR glasses (>5.6‰) must be the result of assimilation of low δ18O wall rocks that are typically found at the sheeted dyke-gabbro transition zone (Alt and 3.6.

The release of crystallisation heat in the shallow crust most likely causes the breakdown and partial melting of amphibole-bearing altered rocks. Because the evolved PAR lavas occur in segments that show a geochemical influence of the Foundation mantle plume we infer that increased magma supply leads to thickened crust, multiple magma systems and increased hydrothermal circulation causing the formation of relatively large volumes of silicic magmas.

4.1 Abstract

The geochemistry and petrology of tonalitic to trondhjemitic samples (n= 85) from eight different plagiogranite intrusions at the gabbro/sheeted dyke transition of the Troodos Ophiolite were studied in order to determine their petrogenetic relationship to the mafic plutonic section and the lava pile. The plagiogranitic rocks have higher SiO2 contents than the majority of the glasses of the Troodos lava pile, but lie on a continuation of the chemical trends defined by the extrusive rocks, indicating that the shallow intrusions generally represent crystallized magmas. We define three different groups of plagiogranites in the Troodos Ophiolite based on different incompatible element contents and ratios. The first and most common plagiogranite group has geochemical similarities to the tholeiitic lavas forming the lavas and sheeted dyke complex in the Troodos crust, implying that these magmas formed at a spreading axis. The second plagiogranite group occurs in one intrusion that is chemically related to late-stage and off-axis boninitic lavas and dykes. One intrusion next to the zone consists of incompatible element-enriched plagiogranites which are unrelated to any known mafic crustal rocks. The similarities of incompatible element ratios between plagiogranites, lavas and mafic plutonic rocks, the continuous chemical trends defined by plagiogranites and mafic rocks, as well as incompatible-element modeling results, all suggest that shallow fractional crystallization is the dominant process responsible for formation of the felsic magmas. 4.3. Geological Background 57

4.2 Introduction

The oceanic crust consists dominantly of mafic rocks, because partial melting of mantle peridotite produces a basaltic magma (e.g. Langmuir et al. (1992)). Significant volumes of felsic rocks also occur in the oceanic crust but the processes leading to their formation are not well understood. In particular, the relative roles of fractional crystallization from basaltic melts or partial melting of crustal rocks are debated (Gillis and Coogan 2002; Koepke et al. 2004; Berndt et al. 2005; Koepke et al. 2007; Brophy 2009; Rollinson 2009; France et al. 2010; Brophy and Pu 2012). The composition and structure of the oceanic crust apparently affects the composition of ascending magma and, for example, the high melt supply at fast-spreading mid-ocean ridges leads to shallow melt reservoirs and relatively evolved magmas (Rubin et al. 2009). Extremely evolved magmas ranging to dacites or even rhyolites occur in areas of thickened crust near hotspots like the Galapagos Spreading Center, Iceland and the Foundation Seamount Chain (Byerly et al. 1976; Muehlenbachs 1982; Juster et al. 1989; McBirney 1993; Geist et al. 1995; Gunnarsson et al. 1998; Freund et al. 2013) or close to large segment offsets (Wanless et al. 2010; Wanless et al. 2011). Felsic plutonic rocks such as tonalites, trondhjemites and granodiorites are known from several ophiolites and from active spreading centers, and have generally been termed ’oceanic plagiogranites’ (e.g. (Moores and Vine 1971; Amri et al. 1996; Caselli and Lombardo 2007; Meffre et al. 2012)). Well-preserved ophiolites such as the Troodos Ophiolite in Cyprus offer the possibility to advance our understanding the formation of felsic magmas in the oceanic crust and to examine the relationships between extrusive and intrusive rocks.

Here we present a systematic petrological and geochemical study of most of the large felsic intrusions from the gabbroic and sheeted dyke portion of the Trodoos Ophiolite. Our samples include rocks with tonalitic/trondhjemitic composition and are generally termed plagiogranite in the following text. We show that three geochemically distinct types of felsic intrusions exist in the Troodos Ophiolite, comparable to different plagiogranite types in the Oman Ophiolite (e.g. Rollinson (2009)). The most abundant tholeiitic plagiogranite intrusions in the upper 2 km of the Troodos crust most likely differentiated by fractional crystallization in shallow melt lenses directly below the dykes. The geochemical variability of the plagiogranites indicates parental melts produced by an increasingly depleted mantle source with continuing subduction influence.

4.3 Geological Background

The Troodos Ophiolite of Cyprus formed in the eastern Mediterranean region of Tethys between 90 to 92 Ma (Cenomanium – Turonium) as indicated by U-Pb ages from zircons from a plagiogranite intrusion between Platanistasa and (Mukasa and Ludden 4.3. Geological Background 58

1987). The oceanic crust of the Troodos Ophiolite remained in situ until obduction started in the Neogene (Robertson and Hudson 1973). The Troodos Ophiolite represents one of the least altered or tectonically disturbed fragments of oceanic crust on land, and includes the complete sequence of pelagic sediments, pillow lavas, sheeted dykes, felsic to ultramafic plutonic rocks, and mantle peridotites that has been defined in the oceanic crust by seismic data. The intrusive rocks of the Troodos Ophiolite are best exposed between the Solea Graben (thought to represent a former spreading axis) in the north, and the fossil oceanic Arakapas transform fault in the south-east (Abelson et al. 2001). The rocks can be subdivided into several units that show a roughly annular arrangement around its plutonic central part. Ultramafic complexes containing harzburgite, dunite, wehrlite and pyroxenite occur in two separate areas of the main massif: the Mount Olympos and the Forest (south of the Arakapas transform). Gabbros, diorites, plagiogranites and a tholeiitic sheeted dyke complex containing plagiogranitic intrusions overlie these units. The approximately 1 km thick lava pile consists largely of tholeiitic rocks (Pearce and

Robinson 2010) but boninitic lavas (> 8 wt% MgO, > 52 wt% SiO2 and < 0.5 wt% TiO2 (Le Bas 2000)) occur in some regions overlying these tholeiites (Cameron 1985; Flower and Levine 1987; K¨onig et al. 2010). The tectonic setting in which the Troodos Ophiolite formed is debated but the geochem- ical composition of the lavas and intrusive rocks suggests a subduction-related origin (Miyashiro 1973; Pearce and Cann 1973; Rautenschlein et al. 1985). The well-developed sheeted dyke complex in the main massif of the Troodos Ophiolite implies significant and continuous extension possibly indicating an origin in a back-arc setting, which is consistent with observed high volatile contents in the glasses (Muenow et al. 1990). The Troodos Ophiolite likely was formed at an intermediate (Staudigel et al. 1999) to fast spreading axis (Bednarz and Schmincke 1993; Cann and Gillis 2004). Alternative models suggest that the Troodos Ophiolite rocks formed at a slow-spreading mid-ocean ridge (Varga et al. 1999) possibly influenced by lateral magma plumbing along the axis (Abelson et al. 2001). However, the distinct negative anomalies of the high field strength elements (HFSE) in the Troodos Ophiolite, together with the occurrence of boninites suggest a subduction- related tectonic setting. The boninitic lavas are comparatively rare and spatially restricted e.g. in the Limassol area, south of the Arakapas Fault Zone (Cameron 1985), whereas boninitic dykes also occur in the plutonic section of the main massif (Coogan et al. 2003). Boninitic lavas were believed to be restricted to fore-arc settings (Crawford et al. 1989) and formed during subduction initiation (Pearce and Robinson 2010), but due to a lack of modern examples the specific magmatic and tectonic processes responsible for formation of boninite magmas are poorly known. Recently discovered boninites at active back-arc and island arc volcanoes (Cooper et al. 2010; Resing et al. 2011) indicate that boninites may form in several different tectonic settings. Compositional differences are observed within the plutonic rocks of Troodos, specifically in mineral compositions, and one model suggests that the Troodos lower crust formed 4.4. Samples and analytical methods 59 by two chemically unrelated stages (Thy 1987); the upper gabbros, the sheeted dyke complex, and the lower pillow lavas represent a spreading environment, whereas the lower cumulate gabbros are related to the upper pillow lavas and formed during closed- system crystallization following off-axis magmatic underplating. According to Benn and Laurent (1987) the early gabbros and pyroxenites are intruded by a later suite of poikilitic wehrlites and gabbro-norites. These authors suggest that the two plutonic stages can be explained by a second-stage melting event of a mantle diapir, or by compaction of a zone of crystal mush below the Moho. In contrast, Schouten and Kelemen (2002) suggest that the lavas formed from one evolving source due to different reservoir depths in the crust with primitive basaltic (upper pillow lavas) forming voluminous eruptions whereas the evolved more viscous lower pillow lavas erupted frequently but in small volumes. Coogan et al. (2003) argue that the highly variable clinopyroxene core compositions of the mafic and ultramafic plutonic rocks compared with the considerably less variable lava compositions indicates a filter function of the lower crust. Highly variable primitive parental melt compositions leave the mantle and mix and homogenize within the crustal plumbing system before erupting (Coogan et al. 2003).

4.4 Samples and analytical methods

The felsic plutonic samples (n=85) were collected during a field trip in 2010 from eight different intrusions in the gabbros, sheeted dykes and the transition zone around Mount Olympos (Fig. 4.1). Fresh cores from samples were cut with a rock saw, washed in deionized H2O, crushed and pulverized in an agate mill. We determined the loss on ignition (LOI) by weighing the rock powder before and after drying (1) 12 hours at 105 ◦C in a cabinet dryer and (2) 12 hours at 1030◦C in a muffle furnace. Representative thin sections (n=60) were studied petrographically and mineral contents were analysed by an X-ray diffractometer 2 Siemens D5000 (samples n=10) at the GeoZentrum Nordbayern. The major element and a few trace element concentrations (Cu, Ni, Zn, Cr, V, Rb, Sr, Zr, Nb and Y) of whole rock powders were measured using an XRF spectrometer (Spectro XEPOS plus) at the GeoZentrum Nordbayern. Averages of our measurements and recommended values (Govindaraju and Roelandts 1993; Govindaraju 1994; Imai et al. 1995) of rock standards (BIR-1, BR, JA-3) are given in Table 4.1.

The major element concentrations of minerals (supplementary Table 4.2) in polished thin sections were measured with a JEOL JXA 8200 Superprobe electron microprobe at the

GeoZentrum Nordbayern. SiO2, TiO2, Al2O3, Fe2O3, MnO, MgO, CaO, Na2O, K2O,

Cr2O3 (and Cl) were measured. The EMP was operated with an accelerating voltage of 15 kV, a beam current of 15 nA and a focused beam except for plagioclase, where a slightly defocused beam of 3 µm was used in order to minimize Na loss. Counting times were set to 20 s and 10 s for peaks and backgrounds for most elements, and 40 and 20 s 4.4. Samples and analytical methods 60 for Cl, respectively. Additionally we measured trace element concentrations of minerals (measurement conditions and standards are listed in supplementary Table 4.2).

Trace elements of the whole rock powders were analysed using an Agilent 7500c/s Quadrupole Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometer (ICP-MS) at the Institute of Geosciences, Universit¨at Kiel following procedures described previously (Garbe-Sch¨onberg 1993). Ana- lytical precision was monitored by the repeated analysis of one sample yielding <3% RSD for most elements except Zr, Th, U (<7%), and Nb, Ta, (<27%). Results for international rock standards BIR-1 and BHVO-2 are compiled in Table 4.1. The reproducibility of the digestion procedure as monitored by duplicate sample digests is better than 3% for all elements except for Cu, Mo, W (<10%). One sample, however, showed systematic larger errors of <5 to 25% that may reflect inhomogeneity of the sample powder. Comparison of the XRF and ICP-MS data for Zr and (to a lesser extent) Hf imply that during acid digestion zircon crystals had not been completely dissolved in the more evolved samples. Thus, we measured three representative rock samples (and international rock standard BE-N) by laser ablation ICP-MS and compared the data (for further details, methods and comparison, see supplementary material). We will use Zr data from the XRF analyses for diagrams and discussion in this study.

4.5 Results

4.5.1 Occurrence of the plagiogranites and field observations

The felsic plutons studied here occur in different crustal levels in the gabbro/sheeted dyke transition zone of the Troodos Ophiolite; most are located within the sheeted dykes, but some also occur within the gabbro section (Fig. 4.1). North of the village Zoopigi (SE of Mount Olympos) numerous felsic dykes and plutonic bodies (in the following called Zoopigi plagiogranites) alternate with aphyric dykes and are often intruded by late aphyric dykes. These plagiogranitic dykes are strongly tectonized by faults and shear zones (Fig. 4.2a) possibly because of their location close to the Arakapas Fault zone which may thus indicate a relatively early formation compared to the other plagiogranite bodies in the Troodos Ophiolite. Most of our samples (hereafter called main group) are from felsic intrusions in the gabbros and the sheeted dyke/gabbro transition, for example along road cuts near Pedoulas and Lemithou and from small intrusions NE of Mount Olympos, along the road from Amiantos towards , from Alona towards Platanistasa, and from Alona towards Fterikoudi (Fig. 4.1). Near the village of Palaichori we sampled a well- preserved outcrop of felsic, medium-grained dykes and plutonic intrusions alternating with aphyric dykes (Fig. 4.2b). Additionally, aphyric (andesitic - dacitic) dykes frequently cut these intrusions but do not show significant faulting. Some of these plagiogranitic rocks show a mottled texture (Fig. 4.2c) with abundant rounded dark xenoliths up to 15 cm in diameter. Six aphyric andesitic-dacitic dykes crosscutting the Palaichori intrusion were also analysed (Table 4.1).

One large plagiogranite intrusion (approximately 1 km diameter) is located within the gabbro/sheeted dyke transition zone close to Spilia (called Spilia plagiogranite in the following, Fig. 4.1). The intrusion mainly consists of (high An-) tonalites with few mafic xenoliths up to 1 m in diameter at the rims of the intrusion (Fig. 4.2d). Occasionally, the plagiogranites show a mottled appearance (Fig. 4.2e) with dark-coloured parts of less evolved (64 wt% SiO2, 3 wt% MgO) and light-coloured parts of highly evolved (75 wt%

SiO2, 1.1 wt% MgO) composition. In contrast to the Zoopigi and main group intrusions, the Spilia intrusion apparently has only rarely been intruded by dykes and thus most likely formed relatively late compared to the other evolved plutonic rocks. Based on the field observations of alteration, intrusive contacts, tectonic overprint and geochemical differences, we define three different groups of plagiogranitic plutons namely the Zoopigi plagiogranites, the main group (Fig. 4.1), and the Spilia plagiogranites.

4.5.2 Petrology and mineral chemistry

Most of the plagiogranites are equigranular and fine- to medium-grained rocks even in the larger plutonic bodies. Thin section observations (n=60) and X-ray diffraction analysis (n=10) of the samples show that the main mineral parageneses of all rocks consists of

Calcic-amphiboles are the predominant amphiboles (magnesiohornblende – ferrohornblende - actinolite – ferroacti- nolite) in all groups (supplementary Tables 4.1 and 4.2). The gabbroic sample TroPed

51 contains orthopyroxene (n=11; Woll2−4, En67−70, Fer27−30; enstatite-ferrosilite) with actinolitic rims. Anhedral clinopyroxene (hedenbergite: Woll54−56, En25−33, Fer19−27) occurs instead of amphibole in the tonalitic sample TroAm 23B (main group).

Titanite is found in most samples and is euhedral to subhedral (<100 µm). Epi- dote/clinozoisite and chlorite are most likely the result of hydrothermal alteration with seawater after solidification and these minerals often occur in veins. Apatite occurs irregularly distributed as fine acicular inclusions within quartz in most samples. Zircons are likely rare and very small in size; no zircons were identified in thin section or by X-ray diffraction, but must be present as indicated by lower Zr contents in the ICP-MS analyses compared to the XRF data.

4.5.3 Major element composition of the rocks from plagiogranite intrusions

Based on the CIPW norms calculated from the major element compositions, the rocks with more than 65 wt.% SiO2 are classified as tonalites and trondhjemites (Fig. 4.4) using the scheme suggested by Barker (1976). Most of the main group and Spilia plagiogranites 4.5. Results 65 are tonalites, whereas the Zoopigi rocks range from trondhjemites to tonalites. The whole rock compositions of the three plagiogranite groups overlap the chemical trends displayed by volcanic glasses from the extrusive rocks (Pearce and Robinson (2010), Regelous et al. in prep.) and sheeted dyke rims (Staudigel et al. 1999), but most are distinctively more

SiO2-rich (Fig. 4.5a). The SiO2 contents of the samples from the plagiogranite intrusions are generally higher than 60 wt% whereas few of the volcanic glass samples have such high SiO2 contents. The most SiO2-rich plagiogranites have the lowest TiO2, CaO and

P2O5 contents and the highest Zr and relatively high Na2O concentrations. The three plagiogranitic groups have similar contents of CaO, FeO, MnO and MgO for a given SiO2. The intrusions belonging to the main group (n=56 + 6 silicic-aphyric dykes) contain rocks of a wide SiO2 range (56 – 71 wt%) whereas the Zoopigi and Spilia intrusions also include more SiO2-rich rocks up to 79 wt%. Generally, all plagiogranitic rocks studied here lie along a steeply increasing trend of SiO2 at MgO lower than 4 wt%, on a continuation of the trend defined by the volcanic glass data (Fig. 4.5a). In general, the TiO2 contents of the SiO2-rich intrusives of the Troodos Ophiolite are low (<1.1 – 0.1 wt%) and decreases with increasing SiO2 (Fig. 4.5b) similar to the steep decrease observed in FeO (Fig. 4.5d).

The CaO and Al2O3 contents also decrease with increasing SiO2 (Fig. 4.5c, e), but the rocks from the Spilia intrusion generally have lower Al concentrations than the other plagiogranite samples. Rocks of the Spilia group have unusually low TiO2 concentrations for a given SiO2 compared to the other groups. The Spilia samples display relatively high K2O concentrations (mean: 0.4 wt%) compared to the mean values of the other two groups (about 0.2 wt%, not shown). The samples of the main group have a range in P2O5 contents of 0.11 to 0.16 wt% at SiO2 of about 69 wt% and then decreasing contents. The

Zoopigi and Spilia plagiogranites generally have lower P2O5 and a slight increase to 0.08 wt% at 75 wt% SiO2 and then show a decrease (Fig. 4.5f).

4.5.4 Trace element composition of the plagiogranitic intrusives and comparison with the glassy lava

All samples show a strong variability of the fluid-mobile large ion lithophile elements (LILE) (e.g. K = 566-7620 ppm; Ba = 1.5-68.4 ppm, Rb = 0.24-3.8 ppm), which is likely due to hydrothermal alteration. The fluid-immobile element Zr indicates some differences between the three groups defined above (Fig. 4.6d). Whereas the Zoopigi plagiogranites have a relatively high range in Zr contents of 64 to 141 ppm at about 77 wt% SiO2, all except one (TroSpi 32 = 305 ppm, not shown) of the Spilia samples tend to relatively low Zr concentrations (<63 ppm). The majority of the main group of plutonic rocks are intermediate between the other two plagiogranite types. Interestingly, the variation of Nb shows the opposite situation; the Spilia samples have higher Nb contents and several of the Zoopigi rocks have lower Nb contents whereas the main group samples are highly variable (Fig. 4.6e). Fluid-mobile elements such as K (not shown), U and importantly

Cu and Zn (Fig. 4.6b, c, f) show significantly lower contents at a given SiO2 than the 4.5. Results 66

4.6. Discussion 68 volcanic glasses. In contrast, the Co contents of the plagiogranites follow the same trend as the extrusive rocks, and decrease from 60 wt% SiO2 (Fig. 4.6a). The fluid-immobile rare earth elements (REE) also display significant differences between the three groups (Fig. 4.7). The main group shows gently inclined chondrite-normalised

REE patterns with slightly depleted light REE (LREE). They have (Ce/Yb)N between 0.4 and 0.8 similar to the variation observed in the Troodos tholeiitic lavas, for example from the Akaki Canyon (Regelous et al. in prep.) (Figs. 4.7, 4.8). The main group plagiogranites generally display negative Eu anomalies but some of the xenolith-rich samples have a positive Eu anomaly. The Zoopigi plagiogranites have smooth REE patterns with flat or slightly enriched LREE compared to the other two groups and have (Ce/Yb)N ratios of 0.6 to 1.2 (Figs. 4.7, 4.8) and negative Eu anomalies. Lavas with comparable incompatible element composition to the Zoopigi plagiogranites are not known from the Troodos Ophiolite so far, and thus the relationship of the former to other magmatic rocks in terms of generation and relative age cannot be determined. The rocks from the Spilia plagiogranites are depleted in LREE and MREE (Fig. 4.7) compared to the tholeiitic lavas and the other plagiogranites, having (Ce/Yb)N less than 0.45 (Fig. 4.8). The Spilia samples have comparable REE patterns to the boninitic lavas and late dykes intruding the Troodos plutonics (Flower and Levine 1987; Coogan et al. 2003; K¨onig et al. 2008) showing a typical U-shape.

4.6 Discussion

4.6.1 Hydrothermal alteration of the samples and stratigraphic context of the plutonic section

Minerals such as chlorite, albite, secondary quartz and possibly also epidote/clinozoisite and actinolite within the plagiogranites are the result of a pervasive greenschist to lower amphibolite facies metamorphism (Malpas et al. 1989). Malpas et al (1989) suggest a second, more local type of alteration by intense hydrothermal leaching and epidotisation, for example, spatially limited in the Palaichori area. Based on the CY-4 drill hole Laurent (1990) suggests that the uppermost approximately 1000 m of the Troodos Ophiolite, including the sheeted dykes and the pluton roof consisting of massive amphibole gabbros and plagiogranites, are pervasively altered whereas the deeper cumulate plutonic rocks are mainly altered along tectonized zones. Laurent (1990) attributes the metamorphic alteration to the late intrusion of felsic magmas whereas Schiffman and Smith (1988) and Richardson et al. (1987) propose that the alteration is the result of upwelling hydrothermal fluids. Although we have tried to sample relatively fresh rocks, minor amounts of chlorite, Na-rich plagioclase, secondary quartz, and epidote/clinozoisite occur in our samples (<2%, supplementary Table 4.1). The concentrations of fluid-mobile elements such as Rb and K

In contrast, fluid-mobile metals like Zn (Fig. 4.6c) show extreme depletion by factors of up to 90 % compared to the felsic glasses, and this confirms that leaching effectively transports these metals from the uppermost plutonic rocks into the hydrothermal systems and potentially into the sulfide deposits associated with the pillow lavas (Heaton and Sheppard 1977; Richardson et al. 1987). The fluid-immobile incompatible trace elements Ti, Nb, Zr and the REE show systematic variations in the plutonic rock groups, and we conclude that hydrothermal alteration processes did not significantly the concentrations of these elements (Fig. 4.9).

For example, the Spilia group has different contents of TiO2, P2O5, Zr, and LREE compared to the other groups (Figs. 4.5, 4.6, 4.8). The systematic variations in these elements between groups cannot be the result of alteration processes. 4.6. Discussion 72

4.6.2 Relations between evolved intrusive rocks and the lavas

Whereas the lavas and specifically the volcanic glasses in the Troodos Ophiolite represent melt compositions, most of the plutonic rocks likely represent mixtures of melt and accumulated minerals, and thus the chemical composition of intrusive and extrusive rocks may not be directly comparable. However, the isotropic gabbros and plagiogranites from shallow intrusions in the oceanic crust frequently do resemble crystallized liquids, especially if they are relatively fine-grained (Kelemen et al. 1997; Natland and Dick 2009). We suggest that most of the Troodos plagiogranites represent crystallized magmas because they are relatively fine-grained, often occur as dykes, and their major element compositions generally overlap with those of glassy lavas and continue those trends to lower SiO2 (Fig. 4.5). If the plagiogranites represented cumulates then we would expect that they vary less systematically and lie outside of the glass trend towards higher MgO, FeO, or Al2O3 contents. The compositions of the plagiogranite intrusions are generally more SiO2-rich than the glassy lavas sampled from the Troodos Ophiolite (Pearce and Robinson (2010), Regelous et al. in prep.) and the glass rims of the sheeted dykes (Staudigel et al. 1999) but overlap between 58 and 74 wt% SiO2 (Fig. 4.5). Specifically, the main group mostly continues the compositional trend formed by the tholeiitic Troodos glasses suggesting a close genetic relationship to these lavas. This is also supported by the similarity of fluid- immobile incompatible element ratios like Sm/Nd, Nb/Zr and (Ce/Yb)N (Fig. 4.8). For example, the plagiogranites of the main group show the same LREE depletion as the Troodos lavas from the Akaki Canyon and thus probably represent crystallized evolved melts from this tholeiitic series. The similarity in trace element compositions confirms that the main group plagiogranites largely represent melt compositions rather than cumulates and that they are closely related to the tholeiitic magma series forming the bulk of the upper crust (lavas and sheeted dykes) of the ophiolite. Consequently, the main group plagiogranite intrusions most likely represent crystallized shallow melt reservoirs that formed at or close to the spreading axis.

The Spilia intrusives show distinct incompatible element ratios (Fig. 4.8) resembling the boninitic lavas (Flower and Levine 1987; K¨onig et al. 2008) and late dykes (Coogan et al. 2003) found in the Troodos Ophiolite. This implies that these magmas also occurred in shallow magma reservoirs within the Troodos crust and occasionally evolved towards felsic melts (SiO2 60-79 wt%). Because the boninites are late volcanic products and the Spilia plutonic rocks also resemble some late mafic dykes (Coogan et al. 2003) in terms of (Ce/Yb)N and Sm/Nd (Fig. 4.8d), we conclude that the Spilia plagiogranite intrusion formed relatively late, which is supported by field evidence of minor crosscutting dykes, probably reflecting intrusion distant from a spreading axis.

The Zoopigi plagiogranite group shows a tendency towards lower values in Sm/Nd, Nb/Zr and higher in (Ce/Yb)N ratios compared to the two other groups, but overlaps with the main group samples (Fig. 4.8). However, the relative enrichment in (Ce/Yb)N but low 4.6. Discussion 73 ratios in Sm/Nd and Nb/Zr discriminate these plagiogranites from the other two groups. Based on the published data no comparable enriched volcanic lavas exist in Troodos. The Zoopigi plagiogranites represent felsic magmas intruded as dykes, probably during a relatively early stage because the silicic intrusions are cross-cut by many aphyric mafic and silicic dykes and show evidence of significant tectonic faulting (Fig. 4.2). This may indicate a formation close to the spreading axis when mafic dykes were still being actively intruded.

4.6.3 The relationship of the plagiogranitic intrusions to the mafic crustal plutonic rocks

Few geochemical data for the bulk composition of lower crustal plutonic rocks of the Troodos Ophiolite exist, because most authors have concentrated on clinopyroxene com- positions from mafic plutonic rocks. The low Ti contents in clinopyroxenes and gabbros

(Laurent and H´ebert 1989; H´ebert and Laurent 1990) are comparable to the low TiO2 contents of the boninitic lavas and the Spilia plagiogranite group (Fig. 4.5b). Addition- ally, Coogan et al. (2003) studied the Cr, Ti, V, Zr and REE in clinopyroxenes from Troodos mafic and ultramafic rocks and suggested that the lower crust acted as a filter for highly variable (and increasingly depleted) melts. Mixing and homogenisation of magmas prior to eruption results in much less variable lava composition, compared to the highly variable lower crustal rocks (Coogan et al. 2003). In order to determine the potential relationship of the Troodos plagiogranites to the mafic plutonic rocks, we calculated the melt compositions in equilibrium with these highly variable clinopyroxene cores using the REE composition of the minerals (Coogan et al. 2003) and Cpx/basalt distribution coefficients (Sobolev et al. 1996). The calculated liquids cover a wide range in terms of

(Ce/Yb)N vs. Sm/Nd (Fig. 4.8d), and cover the range defined by the main group (and the tholeiitic lavas), and the Spilia group plagiogranites (as well as the boninitic rocks and lavas). One calculated liquid from the gabbro clinopyroxenes also matches the LREE- enriched Zoopigi group. Additionally, Coogan et al. (2003) present data of very depleted late dykes resembling the Spilia plagiogranites and the boninitic lavas. We suggest that the main group and the Spilia plagiogranites have geochemically similar deep plutonic counterparts, which indicates that not only the tholeiitic magmas forming the bulk of the Troodos crust, but also the late boninite magmas have genetically related SiO2-rich magmas.

4.6.4 Generation of the plagiogranite magmas: fractional crystallization versus partial melting

Early models suggested that plagiogranitic melts formed by low-pressure fractional crys- tallization of a basaltic melt (Coleman and Peterman 1975), whereas recent experimental data indicate that silica-rich magmas can also form by hydrous partial melting of gabbros 4.6. Discussion 74

(Koepke et al. 2004; Koepke et al. 2007). We use the MELTS algorithm (Ghiorso and Sack 1995) to determine potential fractionation trends and the most likely conditions during fractionation of the main group plagiogranites. Laurent (1990) estimated the composition of a Troodos parental magma with about 13.5 wt% MgO (Mg#71.2) for the plutonic rocks by using the modal mineral contents and compositions in addition to the crystallization order of these minerals. In order to model the potential fractional crystallization trend

(for the tholeiitic lavas and the main group), we use an average of the lowest SiO2, FeO,

K2O, Na2O, TiO2 and the highest MgO, CaO and Al2O3 values of the Akaki canyon lavas (Regelous et al, in prep.) and add 7% olivine (observed frequency and cumulate composition (Laurent and H´ebert 1989)). The resulting primary mantle melt has an Mg# of 75, 11.0 wt% MgO and 48.9 wt% SiO2 (Table 4.2). Although a Mg# of 75 appears relatively high, it is in agreement with tholeiitic to boninitic Troodos lavas (Mg#78) from a study of Flower and Levine (1987), and observations by Coogan et al. (2003) who argued for a Troodos parental melt with relatively high Mg#, on the basis of clinopyroxenes from mafic plutonic rocks having elevated Mg# for a given Cr2O3 (compared to clinopyroxenes from MOR gabbros from Atlantic and Pacific spreading ridges).

During modelling, we vary the H2O content of the parental melt (0, 0.5, and 1.5 wt%) at constant f O2 conditions (QFM) and pressure (0.5 kbar). The best-fit model is obtained by a melt containing 0.5 wt% H2O (Table 4.2, Fig 4.5) which is comparable to basaltic glasses analysed by Muenow et al. (1990) and comply with a low K2O/H2O ratio (0.15-

0.16). Varying f O2 conditions (QFM, QFM+1, QFM-1) has only minor effects on the melt evolution according to the MELTS model and are not shown. Higher primary water content (1.5 wt%) delays crystallization of plagioclase and produces a steep increase in

Al2O3 content with decreasing MgO, whereas a dry parental melt (0% H2O) results in early decrease in Al2O3 that is not observed in the samples (Fig. 4.5c). In addition, a dry T parental melt model shows a strong increase in FeO and TiO2 unlike that in the Troodos plagiogranites (Fig. 4.5b, d). We suggest therefore that the main group plagiogranites are most likely the result of fractionation of a tholeiitic Mg-rich parental magma with about 0.5 wt% H2O under low-pressure conditions (about 0.5 kbar). The major elements of the Spilia group are modelled using a boninitic glass composition (Kapilio 2, Mg#70.4,

Table 4.2) as parental magma crystallizing at low pressure (0.5 kbar) with 0.5 wt% H2O and at QFM+1 (TiO2 and P2O5 are shown in Fig. 4.5b, f). Using higher water contents, higher pressures and different f O2 conditions (QFM, QFM-1, QFM+2) the model failed to reproduce the observed Spilia plagiogranite trends. Thus, we agree with Coogan et al. (2003) that highly variable parental melts ascend from the mantle into the crust and these melts fractionate under comparable low pressure and water conditions resulting in different plagiogranitic intrusions.

Koepke et al. (2007) compiled a minimum line of TiO2 content for evolved rocks formed by fractional crystallization of MORB, on the basis of experimental data (Dixon-Spulber and Rutherford 1983; Juster et al. 1989; Toplis and Carroll 1995; Thy et al. 1999; Berndt et 4.6. Discussion 75 al. 2005). Hydrous partial melting experiments of Koepke et al. (2004) produced silicic melts (>60 wt% SiO2) plotting below this minimum line, whereas the majority of our samples with SiO2 <68 wt% lie above the minimum line. Only the Spilia group has lower

TiO2 values and thus, an origin of these rocks by partial melting of gabbros is possible. However, the Spilia plagiogranites also show a fractionation trend with firstly increasing

TiO2 with increasing SiO2 (60-65 wt%) and then a decrease in TiO2 (SiO2 = 65-80 wt%), suggesting FeTi-oxide crystallization. Least-squares fractional crystallization calculations were carried out in a two-stage model and yield reasonable results (Table 4.3). The amounts of fractionated phases was determined first by the least squares method from a basalt (ET004-01-01) towards a basaltic andesite (ET013-060-1) and, for the second stage, from the basaltic andesite towards a tonalite (TroPal 19A). Crystallising phases of the first stage are clinopyroxene, plagioclase, and olivine, and during the second stage plagioclase, clinopyroxene, magnetite, olivine and ilmenite. This supports our model that crystal fractionation processes generated the various plagiogranite groups from parental mafic magmas.

The close relationship in terms of incompatible elements between the tholeiitic glasses (Figs. 4.7, 4.8) and the main group plagiogranites supports fractional crystallization as the main process leading to the formation of melts with >60 wt% SiO2. Furthermore, the existence of felsic melts with incompatible trace element signatures comparable to boninitic lavas (and late dykes) implies extreme and efficient crystal fractionation pro- cesses, because it is unlikely that such patterns can form by crustal partial melting. To test the fractional crystallization model further, we use the two-step model discussed above to model the predicted variation in incompatible elements Ce, Yb, Zr and Sm using published distribution coefficients for these elements (Table 4.3b, Fig. 4.10). Crystal fractionation from a basaltic Akaki Canyon glass sample (ET004-01-1) with relatively low REE concentration as parental magma, leads to slightly increasing (Ce/Yb)N and fits the observed compositional variation in the plagiogranites (Fig. 4.10). In contrast, partial melting (Table 4.4) of a hydrothermally altered sheeted dyke rock containing 40 % amphibole produces similar Ce, but significantly higher (Ce/Yb)N to the plagiogranites (Fig. 4.10). Additionally, partial melting of amphibolite facies sheeted dykes would lead to high Zr/Sm ratios that are observed only in a few plagiogranites; most samples have lower and constant Zr/Sm. Thus, both the major element and incompatible trace element variations are consistent with fractional crystallization of mafic melts as the dominant process in forming the plagiogranites. Although some xenoliths are present in the plagiogranite intrusions, assimilation of larger portions of partially molten wall- rock during the differentiation process would change the incompatible element ratios in the evolving magma which is not observed. Consequently, we suggest that no significant assimilation occurs during fractional crystallization of tholeiitic and boninitic parental to felsic melts in the Troodos Ophiolite. 4.6. Discussion 76

The fractional crystallization trends are similar to the approximately constant (Ce/Yb)N and Zr/Sm of the tholeiitic main group and glasses. The Spilia group has lower ratios comparable with the boninites (Flower and Levine 1987; K¨onig et al. 2010) and increasing Ce respectively Zr concentrations. The Zoopigi group overlap with the main group but increase towards higher ratios and concentrations. In contrast, the partial melting models indicate significant fractionation of the incompatible elements unlike the observed compositions of the rocks. 4.8. Acknowledgements 77

4.7 Conclusions

On the basis of the incompatible trace element compositions, the various plagiogranitic bodies occurring in the Troodos Ophiolite can be divided into three groups. Two of these are genetically linked to both the mafic lower crustal plutonic rocks, and the extrusive lavas. Fractional crystallization of tholeiitic melt produced the voluminous intrusions of the main group plagiogranites, whereas a single plagiogranite intrusion near Spilia were derived from a more depleted boninitic parental melt. In both cases, fractionation occurred in shallow magma lenses at relatively low water content. Partial melting of hydrothermally modified crustal rocks would fractionate incompatible elements which is not observed. As a result, we can rule out a significant role for partial melting during the formation of the Troodos plagiogranites, and for assimilation of wall rock during crystallisation and cooling. The third chemical group of plagiogranites were intruded in relatively thin dykes close to the Arakapas fault zone, and have no genetic relationship to any known crustal rocks exposed in the Troodos Ophiolite. Our data indicate that highly variable mantle melts ascend into the shallow magma lenses, but do not necessarily mix and homogenize as suggested by Coogan et al (2003). Rather, the mafic tholeiitic and boninitic melts ascend separately into the crust and stagnate over long periods of time, evolving to felsic melts now represented by the plagiogranite intrusions. The different plagiogranite groups reflect multiple melting events with subsequentially increasing depletion of the Troodos mantle source.

5.1 Abstract

Plagiogranites from about thirty intrusions in seven blocks of the Oman ophiolite display well-defined major and trace element trends and Hf, Nd and Sr isotope ratios, suggesting genetical relations with associated mafic intrusives and with lavas by fractional crystal- lization although assimilation of hydrothermally altered rocks may have occurred. The plagiogranites exhibit two different compositional groups that can be correlated to the V1 and V2 lavas and thus two major magmatic phases exist within the whole crust of the Oman ophiolite. The first phase plagiogranites (P1) have higher TiO2, P2O5, Zr, Hf,

(Ce/Yb)N , εNd, εHf but lower Lu/Hf, Sm/Nd, Th/La and Sr isotope ratios compared to the second stage plagiogranites (P2). The second phase of the V2/P2 rocks indicates a stronger depletion of the mantle source and an increasing influence of a slab component compared to the first phase P1/V1 rocks including the sheeted dykes. Decoupling effects of mother/daughter element ratios from the isotope ratios of the plagiogranitic rocks and correlation of εHf and εNd towards sediment values suggest re-enrichement of the depleted mantle wedge by release of sediment melts during transition of the first toward the second magmatic stage. The geochemical correlation of P1 and P2 sample locations with well-constrained ages and the lavas imply that the magmatic evolution with the mantle depletion and increasing subduction influence occurred within a short time period between 96.5 and 95.5 Ma supporting the assumption that the Oman ophiolite could have formed in the initiation of a subduction zone. 5.2. Introduction 98

5.2 Introduction

Compared to other planets that are clearly dominated by mafic rocks the Earth shows abundant crustal portions consisting of felsic rocks. Felsic intrusives are rarely found in recent oceanic crust but commonly in ophiolites where they are generally called plagiogran- ites (Coleman and Peterman 1975; Malpas 1979). For example, in the Semail ophiolite of Oman, plagiogranite intrusions occur in all lower oceanic crustal regions and also in the mantle but are most abundant at the boundary between the sheeted dikes and gabbros (Lippard et al. 1986; Briqueu et al. 1991). They could reflect either extreme products of fractional crystallization in shallow melt lenses or they may form by re-melting of crustal rocks (Lippard et al. 1986; Amri et al. 1996; Gillis and Coogan 2002; Rollinson 2009). The reason for the formation of felsic melts of variable compositions and volumes in the predominantly mafic ophiolitic crust are still poorly understood but these processes are important for the chemical differentiation of the Earth. Additionally the plagiogranitic rocks yield insights into the formation of the oceanic crust in general. The Semail ophiolite in northern Oman and United Arab Emirates (UAE) is the largest, best-preserved and best-exposed ophiolite complex on Earth and contains abundant plagiogranite intrusions. It is therefore ideally suited to study the origin of plagiogranites in the oceanic crust. Plagiogranites in the Semail ophiolite are abundant in the upper oceanic crust, most commonly at the base of the sheeted dyke complex as dykes and lenses between 0.5 m up to >1 km length but also within the peridotites of the upper mantle and in the lower gabbro section (Lippard et al. 1986; Rollinson 2009; Briqueu et al. 1991). Age- dating of these rocks and the surrounding gabbros suggests that the mafic and felsic magmatism was contemporaneous (Rioux et al. 2013) but two different plagiogranite- formation models have so far been discussed: 1) partial melting of pre-existing mafic rocks and 2) extensive fractional crystallization of a mafic melt (Lippard et al. 1986; Koepke et al. 2004; Tsuchiya et al. 2013; Brophy 2008; Brophy and Pu 2012; Gillis and Coogan 2002; Amri et al. 1996). The mantle-hosted plagiogranites are most likely subduction respectively obduction process related (Briqueu et al. 1991; Cox et al. 1999).

Our aim here is to investigate possible scenarios for the formation of (1) the shallow- level intrusive rocks and specifically the plagiogranites. Systematic sampling of the felsic and associated mafic intrusive rocks in different crustal transects, settings and structural levels will help to decipher relations and differences of felsic and mafic intrusions and lavas within the Semail ophiolite. The focus of this study is the geochemical and isotopic characterization of the felsic lithologies from several settings and different crustal levels, comparing them with each other in order to understand the formation processes of these silica-rich melts and the generation of the Semail ophiolite. 5.3. Geological Background 99

5.3 Geological Background

5.3.1 Geographical and geological overview

The Semail ophiolite (Fig. 5.1) extends almost 600 km along the Gulf of Oman and covers >20,000 km2 of the Arabian Peninsula. It comprises twelve blocks, separated by faults. Each of these blocks extends over several tens of kilometres. The northernmost blocks (Khor Fakkan, Aswad and the northern tip of Fizh) are situated within the United Arab Emirates, the central and southern blocks lie on continental crust belonging to the Sultanate Oman. Each block comprises a complete section from the mantle (harzburgites, dunites), lower crust (wehrlites, pyroxenites, gabbros) and a well developed sheeted dyke complex up to the lava units (Nicolas et al. 2000) with intercalated pelagic sediments. The geodynamic environment during formation of the Oman ophiolite oceanic crust is still a matter of debate. Some authors emphasize the fast-spreading character and suggest a mid-ocean-ridge setting (Boudier et al. 1988; Nicolas et al. 1988; Coleman 1981), whereas others emphasize the geochemical indications of a subduction zone setting. Most authors agree that the Oman ophiolite formed during spreading in a supra-subduction setting (Pearce et al. 1981; Pearce et al. 1984; Searle and Cox 1999; Warren et al. 1005; Alabaster et al. 1982; Lippard et al. 1986; Tsuchiya et al. 2013; Arai et al. 2006; Warren et al. 2005) although the geochemical variations suggest geographically variable tectonic settings, e.g. there appears to be a north-south gradient within the Oman ophiolite between the MOR- related southern blocks and the subduction zone-related northern parts (VanTongeren et al. 2008; Hanghøj et al. 2010).

5.3.2 Geochemical overview

The Semail ophiolite lava sections are commonly divided into three consecutive stages: The V1 (or Geotimes) lavas with MORB-like chemistry are abundant and may represent an early spreading axis stage (Alabaster et al. 1982; Einaudi et al. 2000) whereas the later V2 (or Lasail, Alley, clinopyroxene-rich) lavas have an arc-like chemistry and occur mainly in the northern part of the ophiolite (Alabaster et al. 1982; Ishikawa et al. 2002; Ernewein et al. 1988). However, it was pointed out that although the V2 lavas clearly postdate the V1 lavas both lava types erupted within a very short time interval (Ernewein et al. 1988). In contrast, the alkaline to transitional within-plate basalts of the V3 (Salahi) lavas erupted considerably later (Alabaster et al. 1982; Lippard et al. 1986), and have been interpreted as being associated with the obduction process. These rocks have been observed only in the Salahi area of the Hilti massif (Godard et al. 2003). Comparable different magmatic stages are also observed within the mafic and the felsic plutonic section of the ophiolite (Rollinson 2009; Tsuchiya et al. 2013; Adachi and Miyashita 2003; Koepke et al. 2009; Yamasaki et al. 2006).

A study of plagiogranites in the Oman ophiolite by Amri et al (1996) suggested that 5.3. Geological Background 100

Figure 5.1: Maps of the Sumail ophiolite modified from (Godard et al. 2003; Nicolas et al. 2000). The ophiolite consist of 12 blocks, each massif comprises a complete section from the mantle, lower crust, sheeted dyke complex up to the lava units. The northernmost blocks (Khor Fakkan, Aswad and the northern tip of Fizh) lie within the United Arab Emirates, the others (most of the Fizh, Hilti, Sarami, Haylayn, Nakhl-Rustaq, Sumail, Tayin, Wuqbah, Miskin and Bahlah massif) belong to the sultanate Oman. a) Geographical overview of the Sumail ophiolite. b) Simplified geological map of the Sumail ophiolite with sample locations: red dots mark the plagiogranite sample locations, gray circle: P2 group, empty black circle: P1 group. 5.4. Samples and analytical methods 101 the crustal felsic rocks formed by fractional crystallization whereas the plagiogranite intrusions in the mantle represented partial melts from gabbroic sources. Rollinson (2009) described three different plagiogranite types from the Oman ophiolite; (1) plagiogranites that formed early by partial melting of gabbros with nearly flat Rare Earth Element (REE) pattern, (2) plagiogranites formed late by slab-fluid induced melting of depleted mantle and differentiation with a distinct depletion in Light REE (LREE) compared to the Middle REE (MREE) and Heavy REE (HREE). The third plagiogranite group comprises plagiogranites intruded into the mantle section which formed by mixing melts from the subducting slab and the depleted mantle wedge, emplaced along shear zones and associated with areas of deformation. The mantle plagiogranites have relatively enriched LREE and show an increasing depletion of middle toward the HREE compared to MORB (Rollinson 2009).

5.3.3 Ophiolite age

The oceanic crust of the Semail Ophiolite was formed during the Cretaceous. Several authors have measured different ages. Those have been calculated from zircon analyses. Rollinson (2009) suggested a difference of up to 3 to 4 Ma between early axis stage and the late stage plagiogranites. Tilton et al. (1981) has one sample located within the upper gabbros that has a U-Pb age of 97.3 Ma whereas Warren et al. (2005) determined Ophiolite ages of about 95 Ma respectively earlier than 96.4 (early crustal section). Goodenough et al. (2010) determine a range of ages between 96.4 and 95.2 (younger crustal section), whereas zircon U-Pb ages for “axis-stage” quartz diorites and “late-stage” tonalites from the Lasail complex give 99 2 to 100 2 Ma (Tsuchiya et al. 2013). Rioux et al. (2013) found zircon U-Pb ages of 96.44 0.06 to 95.48 0.06 Ma for axis stage gabbros and plagiogranites but 95.4 0.06 to 95.07 0.06 for the late stage gabbro and plagiogranite samples derived from five different blocks (Fizh, Haylayn, Rustaq, Sumail, Wadi Tayin block). The oceanic crust underwent thrusting followed by transport of up to 400-500 km in a southwestern direction over the Tethyan Hawasina basin before being emplaced onto the Arabian plate during the late Cretaceous (B´echennec et al. 1988).

5.4 Samples and analytical methods

5.4.1 Sampling

During field work in 2011 we sampled mainly felsic intrusive rocks from about thirty intrusions in the Fizh, Hilti, Sarami, Haylayn, Rustaq, Sumail and Wadi Tayin blocks of the Oman ophiolite (Figs. 5.1, 5.2). For simplicity we will call the samples “plagiogran- ites” in the following although they range from quartz-diorites, tonalites/trondhjemites to granodiorites (Fig. 5.3). We sampled seven of the localities that have also been age-dated using U-Pb geochronology by Rioux et al. (2013) and Warren et al. (2005) and thus we 5.4. Samples and analytical methods 102

The mineral content of the plagiogranites comprises plagioclase, quartz and mostly amphibole as primary major phases. Large, isolated plagiogranite bodies occur within the sheeted dike complex in the northern and central blocks of the Oman ophiolite (Fig. 5.1, Fizh, Hilti, Sarami, Haylayn and Nakhl-Rustaq blocks). The intrusive bodies are mostly cutting the upper sequences of the crust and are again intruded by aphyric dikes. We also sampled plagiogranites from the southern blocks (Sumail and Wadi Tayin massif) that occur as large bodies or as dikes intruding the gabbros or the sheeted dike- gabbro transition zone.

In order to detect any potential differences between the plagiogranites we pay atten- tion to several properties during sampling. During sampling we discriminated between plagiogranites intruded into the sheeted dike complex and the sheeted dike-root-zone (SDRZ), relatively small-scale intrusions or dikes (cm- to 10 m) and huge isolated bodies (10 m- to hundreds of m scale, Fig. 5.2) with the aim to be able to distinguish between different sources and generation processes like crustal partial melting and/or fractional crystallization.

5.4.2 Analytical methods

Fresh cores from samples were cut with a rock saw, washed in deionized H2O, crushed and pulverized in an agate mill. We determined the loss on ignition (LOI) by weighing the rock powder before and after drying: 1) 12 hours at 105 ◦C in a cabinet dryer and 2) 12 hours ◦ at 1030 C in a muffle furnace. The major element concentrations (SiO2, TiO2, Al2O3,

Fe2O3, MnO, MgO, CaO, Na2O, K2O, P2O5) and a few trace element concentrations (Cu, Ni, Zn, Cr, V, Rb, Sr, Zr, Nb, and Y) of whole rock powders were measured with a XRF (Spectro XEPOS plus) at the GeoZentrum Nordbayern. Averages of our measurements (and recommended values (Govindaraju and Roelandts 1993; Govindaraju 1994; Imai et al. 1995)) of rock standards (BIR-1, BR, JA-3) are given in Table 5.2. 5.4.

The major element concentrations of minerals were measured on a JEOL JXA 8200 Superprobe electron microprobe at the GeoZentrum Nordbayern, Erlangen. The oxides T SiO2, TiO2, Al2O3, FeO , MnO, MgO, CaO, Na2O, K2O, Cr2O3 (and Cl) were measured. The EMP was operated at an accelerating voltage of 15 kV, a beam current of 15 nA and a focused beam diameter (0 µm) for the mineral analyses (except for feldspar where the beam diameter was set to 3 µm). Counting times were set to 20 s and 10 s for peaks and backgrounds for all elements. Trace elements were analysed using a Merchantek 266 LUV (266nm) Laser coupled with an Agilent 7500i (Inductively Plasma Mass Spectrometer: LA-ICP-MS) at the GeoZentrum Nordbayern following the procedure described in Schulz et al. (2006). Each glass disc (produced from sample powder for the XRF) was measured four times and the used values are averages. The external calibration was conducted by using NIST 610 (given values from Pearce et al. (1997)). Average values and recommended values of repeated analyses of international rock standards (NIST 612, BE-N, NIST 614, BIR1A, GH, JA-2, JA-3) are given in Table 5.2. Repeated analyses (n=4) of granitic rock standard GH give a standard deviation for precision 1σ <5.5% for all elements (except Rb <8%), accuracy <10% for all elements (except Rb, Zr, Ba, Tb, Ho, Th <15%, Sr, Dy, Er, Yb, Lu, Hf <19%, Nb <24%). Repeated analyses (n=16) of basaltic rock standard NIST 612 give a standard deviation for precision 1σ <4% for all elements, accuracy <5% for all elements (except Y, Gd, Er, Tm <10%, Nb, Ta <14.5%) and reproducibility of <5% for all elements (except Ta <11%) respectively. 5.4.

Due to more available values and therefore better discrimination between the crustal plagiogranites we use XRF measurements of Zr concentrations during following text. For comparing Zr concentrations measured by XRF and LA-ICPMS please see Table 5.1.

Strontium, Nd and Hf isotope ratios were analysed at GEOMAR, Helmholtz-Zentrum fu¨r Ozeanforschung, Kiel. Strontium and Nd isotope ratios were analysed in static mode on a TRITON TIMS and Hf isotopes on a MC ICPMS at IFM-GEOMAR, Kiel. Standard runs of NBS 987 (n=8) gave an average of 87Sr/86Sr of 0.710250 (2σ = 0.000005) (Sr isotope analyses were normalized to a common value of 0.710250 for NBS 987). La Jolla Nd standard measurements (n=8) yielded (normalized to La Jolla = 0.511850) a value of 0.511850 (2σ = 0.000007). The SPEX standard measurements (n=16) gave an average of 176Hf/177Hf of 0.282170 (2σ = 0.000004) respectively. ε values were calculated using the following CHUR (Chondritic Uniform Reservoir) parameters: present-day reference 143 144 147 144 176 177 values are Nd/ NdCHUR = 0.512630 and Sm/ NdCHUR = 0.196, Hf/ HfCHUR 176 177 87 86 = 0.282785 and Lu/ HfCHUR = 0.0336 (Bouvier et al. 2008), Sr/ SrCHUR = 0.7045 87 86 −1 and Rb/ SrCHUR = 0.0827 following Tsuchiya et al (2013) and λSm = 6.54×10–12 yr , λLu = 1.867×10–11 yr−1 and λRb = 1.42×10–11 yr−1 . The measured isotope ratios from plagiogranites and mafic wall rocks were age-corrected to 96 Ma (assumed ophiolite age).

5.5 Results

5.5.1 Petrology

Typical primary minerals observed in the crustally-hosted plagiogranite intrusions are euhedral plagioclase laths, quartz (sometimes granophyric), euhedral to anhedral amphi- bole (calcium-amphiboles, mainly magnesiohornblendes) and accessory apatite zircon, magnetite, ilmenite, titanite, ( clinopyroxene) in variable parageneses and contents. Most rocks show signs of hydrothermal alteration expressed by minor amounts of chlorite, epidote-clinozoisite and by variably amounts of plagioclase alteration.

5.5.2 Geochemistry

Major elements and incompatible elements

The crustally-hosted plagiogranites (n=87) range from (normative calculated) diorite, quartz-diorite, to tonalite/trondhjemite compositions and one granodiorite (Fig. 5.3).

The SiO2 contents of the plagiogranite samples range from 56 to 79 wt% at MgO contents ranging from 4 to 0.1 wt%. All sampled plagiogranites from all blocks and intrusion sizes show comparable trends in SiO2, Al2O3, Fe2O3 and K2O for a given MgO (Fig. 5.4, Table

5.3). However, based on the TiO2, Zr contents, REE ratios and Nd isotopes (Figs. 5.4b, 5.5, 5.6, Table 5.4) we distinguish two groups of the crustal plagiogranites: P1 and P2 where the former have higher Ti and Zr contents and (Ce/Yb)N ratios than the latter.

Compared to P1 rocks the P2 samples also display lower concentrations in P2O5 (0.04 -

5.5. Results 112 larger variability. The P1 group overlaps in incompatible element ratios (e.g. Zr/Hf vs.

(Ce/Yb)N and Lu/Hf vs. Sm/Nd) with the V1 lavas and the P2 group with the V2 lavas (Fig. 5.8).

Neodymium, Hf and Sr isotope ratios

Both crustally-intruded plagiogranite groups (n = 9) and the associated gabbros (n = 3) show high Hf and Nd isotope values resembling MORB but are significantly higher in Sr isotope ratios. Samples from the P1 group have slightly higher Nd and Hf isotope ratios compared to P2 (Fig. 5.9a, b). The P1 group has age-corrected εHf(96 Ma) = 17.1 to 24.2, whereas the P2 group has εHf(96 Ma) = 15.7 – 19.7. Slightly higher values in the P1 group 87 86 samples are also observed in age corrected εNd. The P1 group has lower Sr/ Sr(96 Ma) 87 86 = 0.70367 – 0.70477 compared to P2 ( Sr/ Sr(96 Ma) = 0.70441 – 0.70540).

5.6 Discussion

5.6.1 Hydrothermal alteration of the plutonic rocks

Ophiolitic rocks are often significantly altered as a result of hydrothermal circulation of seawater through the upper crustal rocks resulting in modification of both mineralogical and geochemical composition. The occurrence of minerals such as chlorite, albite, sec- ondary quartz and also epidote - clinozoisite and actinolite in the plagiogranites is the result of greenschist to lower amphibolite facies metamorphism (Malpas et al. 1989) of the oceanic rocks. Hydrothermal alteration of the crust is accompanied by increasing water contents in the rocks expressed by correlation of fluid-mobile elements with LOI. On the other hand, some authors suggest partial melting of hydrothermally altered gabbros in the crust leading to felsic magmas or subduction-related fluid-induced mantle melting for the formation of the Oman late-stage crustal rocks (e.g. V2 lavas, wehrlites) (Alabaster et al. 1982; Ernewein et al. 1988; Einaudi et al. 2000; Godard et al. 2003; Koepke et al. 2009; Oeser et al. 2012; Lachize et al. 1996; Borisova et al. 2012; Negishi et al. 2013). These processes can also lead to a high water content in the plagiogranitic rocks. Generally higher LOI can be observed in the P2 group compared to the P1 group with relatively low LOI. Positive correlations of fluid-mobile elements like Rb and CaO with LOI (Fig. 5.7a, b) possibly suggest enrichment during seawater alteration. However, positive correlations of immobile elements (TiO2 and Fe2O3) in P2 (Fig. 5.7c, d) suggest that another processes must be responsible because these elements are not enriched in seawater. The higher 87Sr/86Sr isotope ratios (compared to MORB) could also reflect seawater alteration of the plagiogranites but the co-variation of Hf and Nd istotope ratios (Fig. 5.9b) especially in the P2 samples compared to the P1 group suggests that the Sr, Nd, and Hf isotopes reflect variation in the magma source of the plagiogranite groups rather than hydrothermal alteration. We conclude that hydrothermal alteration after the intrusion has only a minor effect on the rock compositions. Consequently, most major and trace elements as well as the radiogenic isotope ratios reflect magmatic processes. We suggest that the comparatively high water content reflected by the LOI of the P2 sample group indicates a subduction-signature similar to the V1 volcanic rocks rather than stronger hydrothermal alteration than the P1 group rocks.

5.6.2 The geochemical relationship between the plutonic and volcanic rocks

The volcanic evolution of the uppermost crust of the Oman ophiolite is reasonably well understood and it has been shown in several lava successions that the MORB-like V1 (or Geotimes lavas) are overlain by the V2 (or Lasail and Alley lavas) that have a clear subduction signature. The V1 lavas have been interpreted as extrusives at a spreading axis (Alabaster et al. 1982; Ernewein et al. 1988; Einaudi et al. 2000; Godard et al. 2003) whereas the younger, overlying V2 lavas are believed to have formed off-axis (Alabaster et al. 1982; Ernewein et al. 1988; Einaudi et al. 2000; Godard et al. 2003). In agreement

5.6. Discussion 116 with this model most rocks from the sheeted dike studied so far resemble the V1 stage rocks (Fig. 5.4) and thus most of the crust probably formed at a spreading axis. The geochemical differences between early and late-stage magmatism can be observed in terms of TiO2, Zr and (Ce/Yb)N versus MgO where the mafic V1 rocks are more enriched than the V2 rocks. Our new plagiogranite data show that the shallow level intrusives in the whole Oman Ophiolite fit well into these two groups and thus confirm the findings of V1-type and V2-type plutonic rocks in the Abyad (Nakhl-Rustaq block) and Lasail (Fizh block) complexes, respectively (MacLeod et al. 2013; Tsuchiya et al. 2013). The similarity of the shallow level plutonic rocks to the lavas also confirms that the diorites to tonalites indeed represent magma compositions rather than cumulates (Kelemen et al. 1997).

5.6.3 Formation of the felsic magmas

Indicators for partial melting and fractional crystallisation processes

Felsic rocks of both the P1 and P2 groups occur as elongated intrusions with diameters from several meters to kilometers and as dikes of only few cm to meter thickness. The large intrusions most likely represent melt lenses in the shallow crust that are believed to be common at mid-oceanic ridge settings (Detrick et al. 1987). Because we observe continuous trends of major and trace elements with MgO similar to the lavas as well as of incompatible element ratios and Nd isotope ratios with MgO (Figs. 5.4, 5.6) we suggest that most felsic magmas of the P1 and P2 groups form by extensive fractional crystallization from mafic parental melts. These trends closely resemble the fractional crystallization lines from the MELTS model suggested for the Oman lavas by MacLeod et al (2013) also supporting a formation of these trends by crystallization processes. Net- veining of felsic rocks containing basaltic and gabbroic xenoliths is observed frequently (Fig. 5.2, Sumail massif; Wadi Tayin massif) indicating that assimilation likely plays an important role during the plagiogranite genesis. Such assimilation-fractional crystalliza- tion (AFC) processes are typical for ascending magmas and have been described for ocean ridge settings (e.g. (Wanless et al. 2010; Freund et al. 2013)) and has been proposed for the Oman ophiolite plagiogranite on the basis of O isotope data (Stakes and Taylor 2003; Grimes et al. 2013). Borisova (2012) also assumes assimilation of altered rocks by a late-stage water-rich mafic melt to form chromite deposits of the Oman ophiolite and a “dramatically affected MORB magma”.

T Partial melting of mafic rocks leads to low TiO2 and FeO for melts with SiO2 > 60 wt% as inferred from experimental studies (Koepke et al. 2004; Koepke et al. 2007; France et al. 2010) and a negative correlation of the LREEs and SiO2 (> 62 wt%) inferred from model calculations and confirmed by natural samples (Brophy 2008, 2009; Brophy and

Pu 2012). Both Oman crustal plagiogranite groups show low TiO2 trends with increasing

SiO2 content (Fig. 5.10a). But the P1 group starts with a relatively high TiO2 content (>

1 wt%) at SiO2 contents of < 63 wt% and continues the decreasing trend of the V1 lavas.

5.6. Discussion 118

In contrast, the V2 lavas starts with low TiO2 and increases up to 1 wt% (at SiO2 = 57 wt%) and from up there the P2 group decreases in TiO2 with increasing SiO2 content.

The two groups show no negative correlation of LREEs and SiO2 (> 62 wt%) as suggested for plagiogranites produced by hydrous partial melting of MOR gabbros (Brophy 2008, 2009; Brophy and Pu 2012). The P1 group exhibits a strong increase in LREE with increasing SiO2 > 62 wt% (Fig. 5.10b, c) indicating an origin by fractional crystallisation of a MOR magma (Brophy 2008, 2009; Brophy and Pu 2012). The (Ce/Yb)N of the P1 and P2 samples are constant in a large range of MgO of 7 to 0 and 5 to 0 wt% (Fig. 5.6c), respectively. Partial melting processes would lead to increasing ratios of more incompatible elements to less incompatible elements and thus Ce would be significantly enriched relative to Yb. However, the negative Sr anomaly of the P1 group (Fig. 5.5a) in- dicates fractional crystallization of plagioclase from a mantle melt, whereas the positive Sr anomaly of the P2 group (Fig. 5.5b) suggest partial melting or assimilation of plagioclase- rich rocks. The negative Th anomaly of the P2 group displays fractionation of Th and U during plagiogranite formation, which is not typical for simple fractional crystallisation of a mantle melt. But, all except of three (Su 16, 17, 18) P2 intrusives comprise large plagiogranite bodies (> 100 × 100 m, Fig. 5.2), which are unlikely be produced by small degrees of partial melting from gabbros. We suggest fractional crystallization from a basaltic magma is most likely for generation of the P1 group, whereas assimilation fractional crystallization seems more plausible for generation of the P2 group in terms of incompatible elements. We suggest contamination of a mantle-derived melt with crustal rocks is possible.

Melting degrees and relations with crustal rocks

Tsuchiya et al. (2013) suggested that the felsic rocks in the Lasail complex (Fizh block) formed by fractional crystallization of the same magma which produced the massive (late- stage) gabbros including a significant amount of assimilation from the pre-existing layered gabbros. The rocks of the Lasail complex are comparable to our P2 group in terms of their major, trace element signatures and Sr and Nd isotope ratios (Figs. 5.4, 5.6, 5.8, 5.9). The P2 group is still less enriched in terms of most incompatible elements (compared to P1) and shows a “flatter” trace element pattern than the P1 group (Fig 5.5). This suggests a higher melting degree for magmas that formed the P2 group compared to the P1 magma, if both groups have been formed by the same source. Additionally, the V1 lavas overlap in most incompatible element ratios (e.g. Lu/Hf vs. Sm/Nd) with the P1 group and the V2 lavas overlap with the P2 group suggesting increasing melt degrees of the source from “axis-stage” (V1 & P1) toward “late-stage” (V2 & P2) (Fig. 5.8b). But the V2 lavas have slightly higher Lu/Hf ratios than the corresponding P2 group, possibly indicating assimilation distinctly amounts of “axis-stage” mafic plutonics (gabbros or dykes) during the plagiogranite differentiation whereas the corresponding V2 magma remains “original” during ascent and eruption. 5.6. Discussion 119

We suggest therefore that the P1 group is related to the axis-stage V1 lavas and mafic plutonics rather by differentiation of basaltic magma than by partial melting of gabbros and are probably formed by low melting degrees of a mantle with little subduction zone influence. The P2 group is possibly related to the “late-stage” magmatic event forming the late gabbros, wehrlites and V2 lavas but most likely contaminated by assimilation of “axis-stage” plutonics. Thus we suggest an (increasingly) subduction zone related source but different melting degrees for the two plagiogranite groups.

5.6.4 Implications for the tectonic setting during formation of the Oman ophiolite

Different models for the plate tectonic setting of formation of the Oman ophiolite have been suggested and recently MacLeod et al. (2013) suggested that none of the fractionation trends in the different lava suites of the ophiolite resembles dry MORB and rather, all of these lava trends require relatively high contents of water in the primary magmas. The highly precise age-dating of zircons (Warren et al. 2005; Rioux et al. 2013) implies that after the spreading stage the subduction influence of V2 stage commenced but surprisingly there is no transition between the two mantle sources. The increasing sudden influence of a slab component in magma genesis suggests a very fast (< 1 Myrs) and effective replacement of the mantle in the melting region of the Oman ophiolite as indicated by the change of Nd isotopes and (Ce/Yb)N (Fig. 5.6c, d). Some authors assumed the southern blocks as best analogue for a paleo-mid ocean ridge setting, not being subduction zone- related as it is suggested for the northern massifs (VanTongeren et al. 2008; Hanghøj et al. 2010) and additionally, the V2 lavas are more common in the northern blocks (Alabaster et al. 1982). In contrast, our study shows that the P1 group is more common in the southern blocks but the P2 group occurs in all sampled blocks except the Wadi Tayin block (Fig. 5.1). This indicates that the whole ophiolite formed in a subduction environment.

We assume that the P1 group represents magmas that crystallized in shallow melt lenses or intruded into the shallow crust at a spreading axis. Geochemical similarity of the P1 rocks to lavas from the Lau Basin suggests a situation similar to the recent Lau back-arc where variable distance of the spreading axis to the subduction zone results in a variable influx of the slab component in the magmas from the mantle wedge. The geochemical evolution from the V1/P1 to V2/P2 magmas implies that the Oman crust moved closer to a subduction zone from 97 to 95 Ma. Rioux et al (2013) interpreted the “axis-stage” as being a decompression stage above a juvenile subduction-zone due to slab-roll-back. Further development of the subduction zone (start of compression) increases the influence of a slab-component contaminating the depleted mantle wedge (Rioux et al. 2013) which is supported by experimental studies suggesting the importance of water in the formation of the late-stage magmas like the Oman ophiolite wehrlites (Koepke et al. 2009). We 5.6. Discussion 120 conclude that such a model of subduction initiation can explain the geochemical evolution towards more subduction-affected magmas from the V1/P1 to the V2/P2 rocks within a few million years.

5.6.5 Evidence of source depletion, decoupling effects and the nature of the slab component

Mid-ocean ridge basalts usually have variable Hf isotopes at almost constant Nd isotopes (Chauvel and Blichert-Toft 2001) whereas ocean island basalts and island arc basalts (as well as sediments) show well-correlated Hf and Nd isotopes. Although our P1 and P2 samples are within the MORB range (εHf +9 to +25 (Vervoort et al. 1999; Chauvel and Blichert-Toft 2001; Nowell et al. 1998)) the correlation towards lower Hf isotopes with decreasing Nd isotope ratios (and increasing Sr isotope ratios) is clearly visible (Fig. 5.9a, b). Comparable differences in terms of Nd isotope ratios have been observed between axis and late-stage mafic plutonics (Rioux et al. 2012; Rioux et al. 2013) (Fig. 5.11a) supporting the relation and the comparability of the lavas and the plutonic rocks. The trend of decreasing Hf and Nd isotopes and the correlation with significantly increasing Sr isotopes most likely suggests input of sedimentary material into the mantle wedge at the subduction zone where the Oman ophiolite formed. Such a sedimentary input is supported by the increasing Th/La ratios with decreasing εNd (Fig. 5.8c) because sedimentary material typically has high Th/La (GLOSS = 0.26 0.12) (Plank and Langmuir 1998). This sedimentary slab component most likely occurred as a melt because the fluid-immobile Hf must have been mobilized significantly and transported into the mantle wedge.

The plagiogranite Hf and Nd isotope ratios are negatively correlated with their mother/ daughter element ratios (Fig. 5.9d, e), suggesting a decoupling of the isotopes and the incompatible element composition (of the source). Decoupling of the isotope ratios from the parent/daughter element ratios suggest that the P1 samples have a more depleted time-averaged source than the P2 samples implying a relatively recent incompatible ele- ment depletion of the P2 source. Such a depletion of the P2 source is in agreement with the low Zr/Hf ratios and (Ce/Yb)N (Fig. 5.8a). The fact that a few elements like Ba, Th and Sr are increased (Fig. 5.5) but not all of the incompatible elements indicate mixing of the highly depleted mantle wedge with very little sedimentary melt. While the sources of the plagiogranites were probably (isotopically) enriched during emplacement, their trace element ratios rather reflect varying degrees of partial melting of their source. The higher Nd and Hf isotope ratios of the P1 group suggest a more depleted source, while the lower trace element ratios probably display slightly lower degrees of mantle melting compared to the P2 group. The P2 group shows lower isotope ratios suggesting that their source was slightly more enriched and maybe the trace element ratios suggest slightly higher degrees of source melting. Combined this decoupling is consistent with the melting behavior of 5.6. Discussion 121 heterogeneous mantle sources (see Ito and Mahoney (2005) and references therein).

The P1 and P2 rocks show an increasing influence of a subduction component with time and the Nd and Hf isotope ratios indicate that both isotope systems were affected by this component (e.g. enrichment of the source). Partial melt of gabbros or sheeted dykes would not produce silica rich melt with lower Hf and Nd isotope ratios but rather a component with significantly different Hf and Nd isotope composition like sediments is required. In order to change the Hf isotope composition Hf must be mobilized significantly from the slab and this most likely reflects an input of sedimentary melt from the subducting slab (Hanyu et al. 2002; Tollstrup et al. 2010; Woodhead et al. 2001). Furthermore, the P2 group has slightly higher Sr isotope ratios compared to the P1 group, which supports a stronger influence of the slab component. We conclude, that the P2 group (respectively all late stage magmatics) is increasingly influenced by a subduction component enriched mantle source, most likely small amounts of sedimentary material.

5.6.6 The influence of slab derived fluids on magma differentiation

The different magma groups in the Oman ophiolite show clearly distinct fractionation trends that are apparently related to the mantle source compositions. Whereas the V1/P1 rocks show strong Fe enrichment typical of a relatively dry tholeiitic fractionation trend the V2/P2 group of rocks displays much less Fe and also Ti enrichment (Fig. 5.4b, d). According to the MELTS model curves of Macleod et al. (2013) the V2/P2 trend reflects higher water contents in agreement with the relatively strong subduction input of these rocks. Crystallization under higher water pressure (<500 bar) and oxygen fugacity (NNO+2) compared to MORB is also assumed by Lachize et al. (1996) for a suite of calc- alkaline gabbros and norites intruded into still viscous earlier gabbros in the Haylayn block (comparable to similar plutonic relations e.g. in the Rustaq block (Browning 1984)). This calc-alkaline plutonics contain layer rich of Ti-magnetite cumulates, upwards replaced by magmatic Ti-rich amphiboles (Lachize et al. 1996). The oxygen fugacity has a distinct effect on the crystallization assemblage and the fractionation trend of a magma. A high f O2 triggers the precipitation of magnetite and stabilizes orthopyroxene (Grove and Baker 1984; Juster et al. 1989), both is observed in the late plutonics. This would cause increase of SiO2 and decrease of FeO (and TiO2) in the residual melt. Higher water contents during late stage magmatism are also assumed from more recent studies and various authors with different research focuses (e.g. (Oeser et al. 2012)). We suggest that increasing water contents and oxygen fugacities in the mantle wedge due to the increasing influence of a sedimentary melt component from the subducting slab promote earlier FeTi-oxide precipitation in the late-stage magmas, which most likely account for the lower Fe and Ti content in the V2/P2 group (with < 5 wt% MgO) compared to the V1/V2 group.

5.8. Acknowledgements 123 depositions (jasper and sediments) (Fleet and Robertson 1980; Ernewein et al. 1988) suggest a time interval and an increase in hydrothermal activity between the V1 and V2 lava eruptions. Otherwise, the wehrlites of the Haylayn block suggest only short time intervals between early- and late stage plutonism because they intrude discordantly into still very hot, layered on-axis gabbros and deformed them viscously (Koepke et al. 2009). Thus we suggest our plagiogranites groups P1 and P2 indicate that the magmatic evolution with the mantle depletion and increasing subduction influence occurred within a relatively short time period between 96.5 and 95.3 Ma. Interestingly, such a short period of time from spreading to subduction is predicted by models of the initiation of subduction zones (Gerya et al. 2008) which supports the idea that the Oman ophiolite could have formed in such an environment.

5.7 Conclusions

Well-defined major and trace element trends and Hf, Nd and Sr isotope ratios suggest that the shallow plagiogranite intrusions and the associated isotropic gabbros and lavas are genetically related. The shallow-level plagiogranites exhibit two different compositional groups that can be correlated to the V1 and V2 lavas and thus two major magmatic phases exist within the crust of the Oman Ophiolite. The first phase produces the volcanic and intrusive rocks (V1/P1) including the sheeted dyke complex and thus formed by decompression melting in a spreading environment with only little geochemical influence of a subduction zone. The second phase of the V2/P2 rocks indicates a stronger depletion of the mantle source and an increasing influence of a slab component. Importantly, both the P1 and the P2 groups occur in the whole Ophiolite suggesting that the entire Ophiolite formed above a subducting slab. The release of sediment melts re-enriches the depleted mantle wedge causing fluid-induced melting. The close geochemical and isotopic similarities of the P1 and P2 plagiogranites to the V1 and V2 lavas and specifically the mafic rocks, the relatively large volumes of evolved plutonic rocks, and the continuous major element trends of both groups suggest that the plagiogranites formed largely by fractional crystallization of basaltic magmas although assimilation of hydrothermally altered rocks may have occurred. The geochemical correlation of the plutonic rocks with well-constrained ages and the lavas imply that the magmatic evolution with the mantle depletion and increasing subduction influence occurred within a short time period between 96.5 and 95.5 Ma supporting the assumption that the Oman ophiolite could have formed in the initiation of a subduction zone.

Ophiolite complexes represent oceanic crust obducted on land and provide therefore a comparable easy way to study oceanic crust processes. Small amounts of felsic rocks can be found in recent oceanic crust and are also common in ophiolite complexes. The majority of previous studies dealing with felsic intrusive rocks from ophiolites confine the sampling to a spatial constricted area or just one single sampling locality (e.g. Cox et al. 1999, Gillis and Coogan, 2002; Tsuchiya et al. 2013). Others handle few plagiogranite data within studies mainly dealing with mafic crustal rocks or mention them only ancillary (e.g. Juteau et al. 1988; Bickle and Teagle, 1992; Nicolas et al. 2000; Yamaoka et al. 2012; MacLeod, 2013; Oeser et al. 2013). In contrast, the main aim of this study deals with the petrography and geochemistry of felsic rocks. In chapter 3, fresh, young glassy lavas sampled from the top of the PAR ridge-axis imply that felsic (andesitic to dacitic) magmas are not only restricted to arc-settings, segment-ends (e.g. Wanless et al. 2010, 2011) or crustal intrusive zones (e.g. Dick et al. 2000; Koepke et al. 2007) but also exist beneath normal mid-ocean-ridges and even have the potential to erupt at the ocean floor. Chapters 4 and 5 aim at investigating several plagiogranites from two large and well-preserved ophiolite complexes in Cyprus and in the Oman. I show that there are distinct differences between the felsic rocks from these complexes and their relations with their mafic crustal rocks but also that the felsic intrusives provide important information about mantle contamination and the temporal evolution of magmatic phases.

Evolution of felsic melts within oceanic crust: observations at a recent MOR

My data presented in chapter 3 support the idea that the evolved samples may be explained by assimilation-fractional crystallization processes in the upper magma chamber of the Pacific Antarctic Rise, recharged by basaltic magma ascending from a deeper melt pool and thitherto have been unaffected by assimilation. The felsic lavas have low δ18O isotope values between 5.6‰ and 5.1‰ and high Cl contents indicating assimilation of hydrothermally altered material whereas basalts from the same ridge section have normal MORB δ18O values and low Cl contents. Clinopyroxene-melt barometry indicates crystal fractionation of the basaltic melt in deep sills, whereas the hydrothermally altered material that is assimilated is located in the upper crust. Fractional-crystallization of the melt 6. Findings and Outlook 141 in the upper melt lens is accompanied by a reduction of the oxygen fugacity causing sulphide saturation and significant loss of S, Cu and Co from the felsic melt. The release of heat during crystallization in the shallow crust magma chamber most likely causes the breakdown and partial melting of amphibole-bearing altered rocks. The evolved lavas along the PAR occur at a ridge-segment that is significantly influenced by the Foundation mantle plume. Thus, I infer that increased magma supply leads to a thickened crust, multiple magma systems and increased hydrothermal circulation cause the formation of relatively large volumes of felsic magmas within this MOR crust system.

Chapter 3 is the first study that deals with a representative number of fresh, basalts next to fresh felsic glassy lava samples from a complete ridge segment of the Pacific Antarctic Rise. I can show that assimilation of significant amounts of hydrothermally altered crustal rock must be an essential process during the evolution of the evolved mid- ocean ridge lavas. The unusual thickened crust next to the Foundation plume intersection is essential for comparatively long magma storing periods, more intense hydrothermal cooling and therefore advanced crystal fractionation and assimilation processes of the melt in a shallow magma chamber.

In the future, more seismic studies of recent ocean-ridge settings possessing felsic lavas can provide further information about the structure of the crust and spatial positioning of melt pools promoting advanced melt evolution. Furthermore, a detailed comparisons of geochemical and isotope compositions of crustal rocks and lavas can give important evidence for the understanding of magma evolution during its residence time within the crust.

Evolution of felsic melts within oceanic crust: plagiogranites in ophiolites

In chapter 4 and 5, I present high quality data of plagiogranites sampled from the entire Troodos and the Oman ophiolite complexes and compare them with mafic crustal rocks to discover genetic relations.

Chapter 4 deals with eighty-five felsic samples from eight different intrusions in the Troodos ophiolite and investigates the genetic relations with other crustal rocks studied so far. The plagiogranitic samples from the Troodos ophiolite have higher SiO2 contents than the majority of the Troodos glasses but extend the lava trends (in major element variation diagrams) indicating that the felsic intrusions generally represent crystallized magmas. I find that the various plagiogranite bodies in the Troodos ophiolite can be divided into three groups based on their incompatible element compositions. Two of these felsic intrusions are genetically linked to the mafic crustal rocks, including the sheeted dyke complex, implying that the magmas formed at a spreading axis. Ascending tholeiitic melts produced a (basaltic-andesitic) sheeted dyke complex and further fractional crystallization of this 6. Findings and Outlook 142 magma produced the most voluminous intrusions of the first group of plagiogranites, whereas the second group occurs in one intrusion that is chemically related to off-axis and late-stage boninitic lavas and dykes. The third plagiogranite group has apparently no genetic relations to other crustal rocks of the Troodos ophiolite. Partial melting of hydrothermally altered crustal rocks would fractionate the incompatible elements which is not observed in our data and thus I rule out significant partial melting during the formation of the Troodos plagiogranites. Our data indicate that highly variable mantle melts (mafic tholeiites and boninites) ascend separately into shallow magma lenses in the upper crust and stagnate to evolve to felsic melts that now form plagiogranite intrusions.

Comparable results yielded the data of eighty-five felsic samples from about thirty in- trusions in seven blocks of the Oman ophiolite. In chapter 5 I present the plagiogranite data displaying well-defined major and trace element trends and Hf, Nd and Sr isotope ratios, suggesting that these are genetically related with their associated mafic intrusives and lavas by fractional crystallization although assimilation of hydrothermally altered rocks may have occurred. The plagiogranites display two different compositional groups, both intruded into the crust of the entire length of the ophiolite. The two groups can be correlated to the two major magmatic phases expressed by the V1 and V2 lavas. The second group (plagiogranites and lavas) indicates a stronger depletion of the mantle source and an increasing influence of a sedimentary slab component compared to the first group rocks including the sheeted dykes. A correlation of the Hf and Nd isotope ratios imply a re-enrichment of the depleted mantle wedge by release of sediment melts during transition of the early towards the late magmatic stage of the subduction zone related Oman ophiolite crust. Correlation of well-constrained age-dated plagiogranitic sample locations compared with the two magmatic phases represented by the two plagiogranite and lava groups imply that the magmatic evolution, including the mantle depletion and an increasing subduction zone influence occurred within a short time period between 96.5 and 95.5 Ma.

To summarize, the plagiogranite intrusions in the two studied ophiolite complexes are related to the mafic crustal rocks by having the same parental magmas. In both cases the ophiolite complexes comprise several magmatic phases reflected by subsequent depletion in incompatible element compositions not only in the mafic rocks but also in the felsic intrusions. In the case of the Oman ophiolite plagiogranites the isotope ratios demonstrate a sediment melt contamination of the mantle source and therefore give evidence for a subduction zone component in the entire crust. In the Troodos ophiolite one plagiogranite group is genetically related with boninitic melts and demonstrates that these melts can fractionate toward felsic composition.

This is the first study dealing with complete geochemical data sets (bulk rock major-, trace elements, isotope ratios and mineral analyses) of numerous felsic intrusions from the entire length of two of the largest and best-preserved ophiolite complexes, which allow to 6. Findings and Outlook 143 better determine the evolution and relations with other crustal rocks.

Future investigations on plagiogranites should deal with isotope ratios, particularly Hf, Nd and maybe Pb to detect and quantify more precisely the sediment melt contamination processes of the mantle source. Furthermore, combined detailed age dating of single intrusions might provide better evidence of the timing between the different magmatic events. Bibliography

170 Title: Oxygen isotope evidence for the formation of andesitic-dacitic magmas from the fast-spreading Pacific-Antarctic Rise by assimilation-fractional crystallisation

METHODS

The samples were recovered by dredging and wax coring along the neovolcanic zone of the

PAR between 36°S and 40°S during expeditions SO100 (cruise in year 1995; 11 evolved lavas 3 basaltic lavas), SO157 (cruise in year 2001; 25 evolved lavas, 26 basaltic lavas),

SO213 (cruise in year 2010/2011, 4 evolved lavas, 4 basaltic lavas) with the German research vessel RV SONNE and Atalante FH (cruise in year 1997, 1 basaltic lava) (Fig. 1, Table 1).

All samples are from pillow or sheet flows with fresh glassy outer rims without evidence of hydrothermal alteration. Thin hydrothermal sediments covering the lavas were observed frequently in camera tows but were avoided during sample preparation. The freshest glasses were crushed, handpicked, washed with deionised water and used for geochemical analyses.

Eight representative thin sections (same pillows but some cm below the glassy outer rim) were studied petrographically.

The major element concentrations of the SO100, SO157 and Atalante FH glass samples were measured on a JEOL JXA 8900 Superprobe electron microprobe (EMP) at the

University of Kiel following the methods and conditions outlined by Fretzdorff et al. (2004).

The major element concentrations of the SO213 glasses and the minerals (thin sections of six evolved lavas and two basalts) were measured on a JEOL JXA 8200 Superprobe electron

T microprobe at the GeoZentrum Nordbayern, Erlangen. SiO2, TiO2, Al2O3, FeO , MnO, MgO,

CaO, Na2O, K2O, P2O5 and, additionally for glasses, SO2, Cl and F (Table 1 and

Supplementary table 1) were measured and data quality was checked by running standards

VG-2 and A-99 together with the samples (for further details see Brandle et al. (2012)). The EMP in Erlangen was operated at an accelerating voltage of 15 kV, a beam current of 12 nA and a defocused beam diameter (12 µm) for the glasses and a focused beam for mineral analyses. Counting times were set to 20 s and 10 s for peaks and backgrounds for all elements, and 40 and 20 s for Cl and F, respectively. Water (5 evolved glasses, 7 basaltic glasses) was analyzed in the glass rims at the University of Kiel using a Bruker IFS 66v/S

FTIR spectrometer following the methods outlined by Fretzdorff et al. (2002).

Trace elements of 17 evolved glasses and 13 basaltic glasses (SO100, SO157, Atalante

FH) were analyzed using an Agilent 7500c/s Quadrupole Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass

Spectrometer (ICP-MS) at the Institut für Geowissenschaften, Universität Kiel following procedures described previously from Garbe-Schönberg (1993). Repeated analyses of international rock standards (e.g. BHVO and BIR, see supplementary table 1) give a standard deviation for precision and accuracy of <5 % and <8 % (2!), respectively.

Trace element analyses of 2 evolved glasses and 2 basaltic glasses (SO213) were analyzed using a Thermo X-Series 2 quadrupole ICP-MS at the GeoZentrum Nordbayern in

Erlangen. Approximately 50 mg of sample powder was accurately weighed into a Teflon beaker, and digested in 3 ml of a 3:1 mixture of 12M HF 15M HNO3 at 100°C overnight. The sample solution was evaporated to incipient dryness, treated with 1ml 15M HNO3; this step was repeated 3 times until the sample was fully in solution. One drop of 12M HF, 4 ml 15M

HNO3 and 4 ml H2O were then added to the sample, which was quantitatively transferred to a

250 ml bottle and diluted with water to obtain a dilution factor of approximately 4000 and a final HNO3 concentration of 2 % containing trace HF. All steps were carried out using ultrapure reagents in Class 1000 filtered air.

Multi-element standards containing all the elements of interest, with concentrations spanning the range in sample solutions (0.05 - 50 ppb) were prepared immediately before each analytical session, and used to determine calibration curves for each element. Rare earth oxide correction factors were determined before each analytical session; the CeO/Ce ratio was always in the range 0.012-0.015, and other interferences were found to be insignificant.

Instrument drift was monitored using a 10 ppb Be-Rh-In-Bi internal standard which was mixed with sample solutions online, and a drift monitor which was measured after every 5 samples. A blank correction was applied using a procedural blank which was processed together with each batch of samples, blank corrections were negligable for most elements.

Accuracy and precision for most elements, determined by repeated analysis of rock standards over a period of several months, are in the range 2-5 %, except for Sc, Cs, Th, Ta (5-8%).

Repeated analyses of international rock standards (BHVO and BIR) are given in the supplementary table 1.

Strontium (Haase et al., 2005) and Nd isotope ratios were analyzed at GEOMAR,

Helmholtz-Zentrum für Meereswissenschaften following the methods described in Fretzdorff et al. (2004). Handpicked glass chips were leached for one hour in hot ultrapure 6N HCl before dissolution to avoid any potential influence from seawater alteration. The dissolution and separation techniques are described in detail in Hoernle et al. (1991). Strontium and Nd isotope ratios (of 8 evolved glasses and 10 basaltic glasses) were analyzed in static mode on a

Finnigan MAT 262 mass spectrometer at IFM-GEOMAR, Kiel. The fractionation corrections applied for Sr isotope ratios was 86Sr/88Sr = 0.1194 and 146Nd/144Nd = 0.7219, with repeated measurements of NBS 987 (n = 12) yielding 87Sr/86Sr = 0.710218 (2! = 0.000024). Repeat measurements of the Nd Spex standard (n = 10) and of the La Jolla standard (n = 3) gave an average 143Nd/144Nd of 0.511710 (2! = 0.000015) and 143Nd/144Nd = 0.511827 (2! =

0.000007), respectively. Strontium (supplementary table 1) and Nd analyses (Table 1) were normalized to values of NBS 987 and La Jolla of 0.71025 and 0.511855, respectively.

Glass chips for oxygen isotope analyses were handpicked from crushed sample material. A sample aliquot was checked for purity using X-ray diffraction (XRD). Oxygen isotope ratios were determined on 2.0-2.6 mg sample material weighed before being put into the sample holder. The !18O isotope ratios (of 9 evolved glasses and 5 basaltic glasses) were measured by laser fluorination using a 25 W-Synrad CO2-laser and F2 as reagent, at the

GeoZentrum Nordbayern, Erlangen. The laser was operated in continuous mode and the energy manually adjusted to allow a reaction process as smooth as possible to avoid any sputtering of the sample. The general setup follows that of Sharp (1990). The stainless steel sample chamber is covered with a BaF2-window and the stainless steel sample holder has 16 pits with a diameter and a depth of 3 mm, respectively. Samples were pre-fluorinated at 0.02 bar with F2 overnight. Fluorine pressure during fluorination was 0.1 bar. After reaction in the sample chamber, the gases were slowly passed through an LN2-trap, staying for 3 minutes in a

NaCl-trap heated up to 150-170 °C. The resulting Cl2 gas was trapped in the next segment of the line in another LN2-trap for 3 minutes. During the next step the purified gases frozen onto an LN2 cooled molecular sieve (0.5 nm) in a teflon valved Pyrex tube (3 minutes). This tube then was disconnected from the line and analysed on a Thermo Finnigan Delta Plus masspectrometer at the GeoZentrum Nordbayern. During the period of an entire day, four standard samples (UWG-2, (Valley et al., 1995); NBS-30) where processed and measured together with the samples to ensure accuracy. The long-term reproducibility of the UWG-2 garnet standard is 5.85 ± 0.15 ‰ (1SD, n=67), which is similar to the value of 5.74 ± 0.15 ‰

(1SD, n=1000) given by Valley et al. (1995). The !18O raw values of a run where adjusted by the mean difference of the reference values of the standards (!18O 5.8 ‰ and !18O 5.1 ‰, respectively). Reproducibility of replicates from the samples, which may reflect internal analytical error but also sample heterogeneity and impurity, varies between 0.05 ‰ 1SD and

0.15 ‰ 1SD (mean 0.08 ‰ 1SD), respectively.
