    Description: Calc-alkaline and alkaline magmatic activity is generally separated in space and/or in time. The Eastern Transylvanian Basin in Romania is one of the few places where, during Pleistocene, alkaline eruptions occurred contemporaneously with the calc-alkaline activity. Mantle xenoliths entrained in Perşani Mts. alkaline volcanic products have been studied in order to investigate the interaction of metasomatic agents of different magmatic affinities with the mantle wedge. Based on mineral major and trace element and noble gases in fluid inclusions, two main events have been recognized. The first was a pervasive, complete re-fertilization of a previously depleted mantle by a calc-alkaline subduction-related melt, causing the formation of very fertile, amphibole-bearing lithotypes. This is shown by the a) increased amounts of modal clinopyroxene up to 21.9 % with Al2O3 contents up to 8.16 wt%, higher than what is expected for clinopyroxene in Primordial Mantle; b) 4He/40Ar* ratios up to 1.2, within the reported range for mantle production; c) 3He/4He in olivine, opx and cpx of 5.8 ± 0.2 Ra, among the most radiogenic values of European mantle, below the typical MORB mantle value (8 ± 1 Ra), reflecting recycling of crustal material in the local lithosphere. The second event is related to later interaction with an alkaline metasomatic agent similar to the host basalts that caused slight LREE enrichment in pyroxenes and disseminated amphiboles and precipitation of vein amphiboles with a composition similar to amphiboles megacrysts also found in the Perşani Mts. volcanic deposits. This is highlighted by the 4He/40Ar* and 3He/4He values found in some opx and cpx, up to 2.5 and 6.6 Ra, respectively, more typical of magmatic fluids.

    Description: Numerous studies exist on exhumed tectonic mélanges along subduction channels whereas, in accretionary wedge interiors, deformation mechanisms and related fluid circulation in tectonic mélanges are still underexplored. We combine structural and microstructural observations with geochemical (stable and clumped isotopes and isotope composition of noble gases in fluid inclusions of calcite veins) and U-Pb geochronological data to define deformation mechanisms and syn-tectonic fluid circulation within the Mt. Massico intra-wedge tectonic mélange, located in the inner part of the central-southern Apennines accretionary wedge, Italy. This mélange developed by shear deformation at the base of a clastic succession. Deformation was characterized by disruption of the primary bedding, mixing, and deformation of relicts of competent olistoliths and strata within a weak matrix of deformed clayey and marly interbeds. Recurrent cycles of mutually overprinting fracturing/veining and pressure-solution processes generated a block-in-matrix texture. The geochemical signatures of syntectonic calcite veins suggest calcite precipitation in a closed system from warm (108°-147 °C) paleofluids, with δ18O vlaues between þ9‰ and 14‰, such as trapped pore waters after extensive 18O exchange with the local limestone host rock and/or derived by clay dehydration processes at T 〉 120 °C. The 3He/4He ratios in fluid inclusions are lower than 0.1 Ra, indicating that He was exclusively sourced from the crust. We conclude that: (1) intraformational rheological contrasts, inherited trapped fluids, and low-permeability barriers such as marlyshaly matrix, can promote the generation of intra-wedge tectonic mélanges and the development of transient fluid overpressure; (2) clay-rich tectonic mélanges, developed along intra-wedge décollement layers, may generate low-permeability barriers hindering the fluid redistribution within accretionary wedges.

    Description: Developing appropriate monitoring strategies in long-quiescent volcanic provinces is challenging due to the rarity of recordable geochemical and geophysical signals and the lack of experienced eruptive phenomenology in living memory. This is the case in the Massif Central (France) where the last eruptive sequence formed the Pavin’s Group of Volcanoes, about 7 ka ago. There, current evidence of a mantle activity reminiscence is suggested by the presence of mineral springwaters, mofettes, and soil degassing. It appears fundamental as a prerequisite to decipher the evolution of the gas phase in the magmatic system at the time of the eruptive activity to understand the meaning of current local gas emissions. In this study, we develop an innovative approach coupling CO2 densimetry and geochemistry of fluid inclusions from products erupted by the Pavin’s Group of Volcanoes. 3D imagery by Raman spectroscopy revealed that carbonate forming in fluid inclusions may lead to underestimation of CO2 density in fluid inclusions by up to 50 % and thus to unreliable barometric estimates. Fortunately, we found that this effect may be limited by focusing on fluid inclusions with a small diameter (〈4 m) and where no solid phase is detected on Raman spectra. The time evolution of the eruptions of the Pavin’s Group of Volcanoes shows a progressive decrease of the pressure of magma storage (from more than 9 kbar down to 1.5-2 kbar) in parallel to magma differentiation (from basanites at Montcineyre to benmoreites at Pavin). The analysis of the noble gases entrapped in fluid inclusions yielded two main conclusions: (1) the helium isotope signature (Rc/Ra = 6.5-6.8) is in the range of values obtained in fluid inclusions from mantle xenoliths in the Massif Central (Rc/Ra = 5.6±1.1, on average) suggesting partial melting of the subcontinental lithospheric mantle, and (2) magma degassing (4He/40Ar* from 4.0 to 16.2) mirrors magma differentiation and the progressive rise of the magma ponding zones of the Pavin’s Group of Volcanoes. According to our modelling, about 80 % of the initial gas phase would be already exsolved from these magmas, even if stored at mantle depth. Based on the results obtained from fluid inclusions, we propose a model of the evolution of the signature of noble gases and carbon isotopes from mantle depth to crustal levels. In this frame, gas emissions currently emitted in the area (Rc/Ra = 6.1-6.7 and 4He/40Ar* = 1.7) point to an origin in the lithospheric mantle. This study strongly encourages the establishment of a regular sampling of local gas emissions to detect potential geochemical variations that may reflect a change from current steady-state conditions

    Description: Trace volatile elements like He are key for understanding the mantle source signature of magmas and to better constrain the relative roles of subduction and crustal processes to the variability of along-arc chemical and isotopic signatures of magmatic fluids. Here we report on noble gas abundances and isotopic data of Fluid Inclusions (FIs) in eruptive products and/or fumarolic gases from the Colombia-Ecuador segment of Andean Northern Volcanic Zone (NVZ). FIs in olivine phenocrysts from Ecuador (El Reventador, Cotopaxi and Tungurahua) yield air-normalized corrected 3He/4He ratios of 7.0–7.4 RA, within the MORB range (8 ± 1 RA). With exception of the Cotopaxi lavas (opx 〈 〈oliv.), these are indistinguishable of those obtained for their cogenetic orthopyroxene pairs and of gas emissions previously reported in literature. Olivine phenocrysts from Nevado del Ruiz fissure lavas also yield the highest 3He/4He (8.5 ± 0.3 RA) for this volcanic system, which is in the range of fumarolic gases for Galeras (previously reported as high as 8.8 RA and here measured to a maximum of 8.3 ± 0.1 RA). Our dataset highlights disparities between isotope signatures of eruptive products from Ecuador (avg. ~7.2 RA) and those reported for the Colombian portion of the NVZ (avg. ~8.5 RA). Previous studies on the geochemistry of erupted products put in evidence significant along-arc variations ascribed either to the involvement of different slab components, or to variable depths of evolution of arc magmas within the continental crust. However, the same variation is not discernible in the signature of noble gases, especially helium, from FIs and gas emissions analyzed in this study, with little inter-variation between Cotopaxi, Reventador and Tungurahua (all within 0.2 RA from the Ecuador average of 7.2) and Galeras and Nevado del Ruiz, whose maximum values differ by ~0.3 RA. We therefore suggest a homogenous MORB-like 3He/4He signature for the mantle wedge beneath this arc segment, whereby along-arc variations in crustal thickness (from 〈35 km at the northernmost part of the segment to ≥50 km at the Ecuadorian arc segment) may factor largely into the variability recorded on our data set. The first CO2/3He ratios obtained in FIs from Andean rocks support the hypothesis of increasing crustal contamination from Colombia to Ecuador, concomitant with increasing crustal thicknesses under the respective arc regions.

    Description: We present the first isotopic (noble gases and CO2) characterization of fluid inclusions coupled to Raman microspectroscopy analyses in mantle xenoliths from Central Mexico, a geodynamically complex area where the Basin and Range extension was superimposed on the Farallon subduction (terminated at 28 Ma). To characterize the isotopic signature of the Central Mexican lithospheric mantle, we focus on fluid inclusions entrapped in mantle xenoliths found in deposits of the Joya Honda maar (JH), a Quaternary monogenetic volcano belonging to the Ventura Espiritu Santo Volcanic Field (VESVF) in the state of San Luis Potosí (central Mexico). Thirteen ultramafic plagioclase-free xenoliths were selected, all exhibiting a paragenesis Ol 〉 Opx 〉 Cpx 〉 〉 Sp, and being classified as spinel-lherzolites and harzburgites. All xenoliths bring textural evidence of interstitial glass veins bearing dendritic trails of secondary melt and fluid inclusions (composed of silicate glass ± CO2 ± Mg-Ca carbonates ± pyrite). These are related to pervasive mantle metasomatism driven by carbonate-rich silicate melt. The Ar and Ne systematics reflect mixing between MORB-like upper mantle and atmospheric fluids, the latter interpreted as reflecting a recycled air component possibly inherited from the Farallon plate subduction. The 3He/4He ratios vary between 7.13 and 7.68 Ra, within the MORB range (7–9 Ra), and the 4He/40Ar* ratios (0.4–3.11) are similarly close to the expected range of the fertile mantle (1–5). Taken together, these pieces of evidence suggest that (i) either the mantle He budget was scarcely modified by the Farallon plate subduction, and/or (ii) that any (large) crustal contribution was masked by a later metasomatism/refertilization episode, possibly during the subsequent Basin and Range extension. A silicate melt-driven metasomatism/refertilization (revealed by the association between glass veins and fluid inclusions) is consistent with calculated helium residence time for the Mexican lithospheric mantle (20 to 60 Ma) that overlaps the timing of the above geodynamic events. We propose that, after the refertilization event (e.g., over the last ~20 Ma), the lithospheric mantle has evolved in a steady-state, becoming slightly more radiogenic. We also estimated 3He fluxes (0.027–0.080 mol/g), 4He production rates (340–1000 mol/yr), and mantle CO2 fluxes (3.93 × 107 mol/yr to 1.18 × 108 mol/yr) using the helium isotopic values measured in JH mantle xenoliths. Finally, the JH xenoliths exhibit CO2/3He ratios comparable to those of the upper mantle (from 3.38 × 108 to 3.82 × 109) but more positive δ13C values (between - 1.0 and - 2.7‰), supporting the involvement of a crustal carbonate component. We propose that the metasomatic silicate melts recycled a crustal carbonate component, inherited by the Farallon plate subduction.

    Description: The study of the oxidation state of lithospheric mantle-derived rocks allows modelling the deep cycle of volatiles (e.g., C, H, O, N and S) in the Earth’s interior, which in turn plays a role in magma genesis, metasomatism and volcanic degassing. At the oxygen fugacity (i.e., fO2) recorded by residual abyssal peridotites, volatile elements like carbon are predicted to be in the immobile form of graphite. However, the compilation of the redox state of worldwide-distributed continental xenoliths shows evidence of their oxidation and refertilization through time by deeply formed subduction-related metasomatic fluids. The analyses of fluid inclusions in mantle-derived minerals like olivine (or pyroxenes) represent a snapshot of the volatile circulation in depth, whose noble gases signature (He, Ar, Ne) is used to identify their possible source. This study aims to reconstruct the origin of mantle metasomatism underneath the Hyblean Plateau (Sicily, Italy) and its redox history through the investigation of spinel-peridotite nodules, combining fO2 estimates with noble gases and fluid inclusions chemistry from hand-picked olivine grains. We analyzed eight mantle xenoliths classified as spinel lherzolites and spinel harzburgites from the Valle Guffari (Hyblean Plateau, Sicily). The calculated logfO2 is higher than that of most cratonic xenoliths worldwide ranging between 0.28 and 1.27 log units above to the fayalite-magnetite-quartz (FMQ) reference buffer. Micro-Raman measurements on olivine grains with dendritic trails of (metasomatic) fluid inclusions reveal an assemblage made of Mg-Ca carbonates ± sulfide ± elemental sulfur ± CO2 in the most reduced sample, and Mg-Ca carbonates ± sulfates ± CO2 in the most oxidized sample, the latter associated with a silicate glass and (secondary) hydrous phases. Both assemblages are taken as evidence of the product of crystallization of deeply originated volatile-bearing silicate melts. Analyses of He, Ar, and Ne in olivine grains confirm the evidence of a mantle source reworked by metasomatic processes. Our data suggest that an initially residual Hyblean lithospheric mantle was affected by extensive oxidizing events at several depths caused by the interaction with slab-derived CO2-rich silicate metasomatic liquids.

    Description: Petrology and fluid inclusions (FI) geochemistry are increasingly used in tandem to constrain the compositional features and evolution of the lithospheric mantle. In this study, we combine petrography and mineral chemistry with analyses of noble gases (He, Ne and Ar) and CO2 in olivine, orthopyroxene- and clinopyroxene-hosted FI, as well as radiogenic isotope (Sr-Nd-Pb) systematics of ultramafic xenoliths collected at La Grille volcano in Grande Comore Island, aiming at better characterizing one of the most enigmatic and controversial portions of the western Indian Ocean lithospheric mantle. Xenoliths have been divided in three groups on the basis of their textural features: Group 1 (Opx-bearing), Group 2 (Opx-free) and Group 3 (Cumulate). Overall, petrographic observations and mineral phase compositions indicate that the sampled lithospheric portion experienced variable degrees of melting (from 5% to 35%), recorded by Group 1 most refractory harzburgites and lherzolites, as well as modal metasomatic processes as evidenced by the crystallization of cpx at the expense of opx in Group 1 fertile lherzolites and wehrlite and by Group 2 xenoliths. Crystallization of slightly oversaturated basic silicate melts seems also to have occurred, as shown by Group 3 xenoliths. A positive trend between temperature and ƒO2 is evident, with Group 2 and 3 xenoliths testifying for hotter and more oxidised conditions than Group 1. The variability of the 4He/40Ar* ratio (0.02–0.39) in Group 1, significantly below typical values of a fertile mantle (4He/40Ar* = 1–5), can be explained by the variable degrees of partial melting coupled to metasomatic enrichment that may account for modifying 4He/40Ar*, as also indicated by the mineral composition. He-Ar-CO2 relationships support the presence of a metasomatic CO2-rich process post-dating the melt extraction and the cumulate formation. The air-corrected 3He/4He isotopic ratios (6.30 to 7.36 Ra) are intermediate between the MORB mantle signature (8 ± 1Ra) and the SCLM (6.1 ± 0.9 Ra). The Ne and Ar isotopic signatures (20Ne/22Ne, 21/Ne/22Ne and 40Ar/36Ar) are consistent with mixing between an air-derived component and a MORB-like mantle, supporting the hypothesis for a lithospheric origin of the Comoros magmas, and arguing against any deep mantle plume-related contribution. This is also corroborated by combining Ne with He isotopes, showing that La Grille ultramafic xenoliths are far from the typical plume-type compositions. Sr-Nd-Pb isotope systematics in opx and cpx from La Grille additionally support a MORB-type signature for the lithospheric mantle beneath the area.
