  • Tardi-Magmatic Precipitation of Martian Fe/Mg-Rich Clay Minerals Via Igneous Differentiation
    ©2020TheAuthors Published by the European Association of Geochemistry ▪ Tardi-magmatic precipitation of Martian Fe/Mg-rich clay minerals via igneous differentiation J.-C. Viennet1*, S. Bernard1, C. Le Guillou2, V. Sautter1, P. Schmitt-Kopplin3, O. Beyssac1, S. Pont1, B. Zanda1, R. Hewins1, L. Remusat1 Abstract doi: 10.7185/geochemlet.2023 Mars is seen as a basalt covered world that has been extensively altered through hydrothermal or near surface water-rock interactions. As a result, all the Fe/Mg-rich clay minerals detected from orbit so far have been interpreted as secondary, i.e. as products of aqueous alteration of pre-existing silicates by (sub)surface water. Based on the fine scale petrographic study of the evolved mesostasis of the Nakhla mete- orite, we report here the presence of primary Fe/Mg-rich clay minerals that directly precipitated from a water-rich fluid exsolved from the Cl-rich parental melt of nakhlites during igneous differentiation. Such a tardi-magmatic precipitation of clay minerals requires much lower amounts of water compared to production via aque- ous alteration. Although primary Fe/Mg-rich clay minerals are minor phases in Nakhla, the contribution of such a process to Martian clay formation may have been quite significant during the Noachian given that Noachian magmas were richer in H2O. In any case, the present discovery justifies a re-evaluation of the exact origin of the clay minerals detected on Mars so far, with potential consequences for our vision of the early magmatic and climatic histories of Mars.

Jerzy Blusztajn and Hans Schouten Department of Geology and Geophysics, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, Woods Hole, MA 02543, U.S.A. Abstract Collisions between oceanic island-arc terranes and passive continental margins are thought to have been important in the formation of continental crust throughout much of Earth’s history. Magmatic evolution during this stage of the plate-tectonic cycle is evident in several areas of the Ordovician Grampian-Taconic Orogen, as we demonstrate in the first detailed geochemical study of the Tyrone Igneous Complex, Ireland. New U– Pb zircon dating yields ages of 493 ± 2 Ma from a primitive mafic intrusion, indicating intra-oceanic subduction in Tremadoc time, and 475 ± 10 Ma from a light-rare-earth- element (LREE)-enriched tonalite intrusion that incorporated Laurentian continental material by early Arenig time (Early Ordovician, Stage 2) during arc-continent collision. Notably, LREE enrichment in volcanism and silicic intrusions of the Tyrone Igneous Draut et al. page 1 of 27 Complex exceeds that of average Dalradian (Laurentian) continental material which would have been thrust under the colliding forearc and potentially recycled into arc magmatism.

In one experiment, homogenous andesite powder (USGS rock standard AGV-1) with 4 wt.% H2O was sealed in a double capsule assembly for 66 days. The temperature at one end of this charge was held at 950 °C, and the temperature at the other end was kept at 350 °C. During the experiment, thermal migration (i.e., diffusion in a thermal gra- dient) took place, and the andesite underwent compositional and mineralogical differentiation. The run product can be broadly divided into three portions: (1) the top third, at the hot end, contained 100% melt; (2) the middle-third contained crystalline phases plus progressively less melt; and (3) the bottom third, at the cold end, consisted of a fine-grained, almost entirely crystalline solid of granitic composition.

TEXTURE Cooling of magma/lava Crystallization of minerals Formation of an igneous rock Slow cooling Rapid within the cooling lithosphere near or on Earth’s surface INTRUSIVE IGNEOUS ROCKS EXTRUSIVE IGNEOUS ROCKS Coarser-grained texture Finer-grained texture e.g. granite e.g. basalt Understanding Earth 6th Ed. Different types of igneous rocks identified based on the texture Understanding Earth 6th Ed. 2. CHEMICAL AND MINERALOGICAL COMPOSITION Felsic vs. mafic compositions Felsic : feldspar-silica Mafic : magnesium-ferric FELSIC MAFIC Igneous rocks enriched in SiO2 and Igneous rocks enriched in silicates silicates rich in Al, K, Na rich in Fe, Mg Quartz (SiO2) Biotite (mica) Orthoclase (K-rich feldspar) Amphibole group Plagioclase (Na/Ca-rich feldspar) Pyroxene group Muscovite (K-rich mica) Olivine Example: granite (continental crust) Example: basalt (oceanic crust) Light color Dark color CONTINUUM Pyroxene Anorthite: Quartz: SiO CaAl2Si2O8 2 Ca-rich plagioclase Granite Basalt Orthoclase: KAlSi3O8 Continental crust 0-7 km Fe, Mg > 3.0 g/cm3 Oceanic crust 35-60 km Al, K, Na > Fe, Mg >> 3.4 g/cm3 2.8 g/cm3 Mantle Peridotite Olivine: (Mg, Fe)2SiO4 Pyroxene: XY(Si,Al)2O6 Enstatite (MgSiO3) and ferrosilite (FeSiO3) Augite (Ca,Na)(Mg,Fe,Al,Ti)(Si,Al)2O6 DOMINANT IN EARTH’S UPPER MANTLE Intrusive Extrusive Anorthite CaAl2Si2O8 KAlSi O ABUNDANT IN 3 8 ABUNDANT IN THE THE CONTINENTAL OCEANIC CRUST SiO2 CRUST (underlying ocean floor) NaAlSi O 3 8 (Mg, Fe)SiO Albite 3 (Mg, Fe)2SiO4 LIGHT color DARK color Crystallize and melt at different T !!! http://www.gso.uri.edu/lava/MagmaProperties/properties.html Understanding Earth 6th Ed.
