Low-degree melt metasomatic origin of heavy Fe isotope enrichment in the MORB mantle

Pengyuan Guo et al.

Summary: This study supports a recent hypothesis that heavy Fe isotope enrichment in mid-ocean ridge basalts (MORB) results from a process of incompatible element enrichment. The researchers conducted an Fe isotope study of well-characterized MORB samples from a specific segment of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge and found that the Fe isotope composition of the oceanic upper mantle is heterogeneous and correlates with the abundances and ratios of incompatible elements and Sr-Nd-Hf isotopes. They propose that low-degree melt metasomatism at the lithosphere-asthenosphere boundary beneath ocean basins is responsible for the heavy Fe isotope enrichment observed in MORB. This process is predicted to be globally common and widespread.

An eclogitic component in the Pitcairn mantle plume: Evidence from olivine compositions and Fe isotopes of basalts

Jin-Hua Shi et al.

Summary: Subducted oceanic crust can transform into eclogite in the upper mantle and contribute to the chemical heterogeneity of mantle plumes. This study investigates whether eclogite can be a direct source component of oceanic island basalts (OIBs) and suggests that it is a possible source. The findings show that the Fe isotope compositions and olivine phenocryst chemistry of EM1-type basalts from Pitcairn Island support the presence of eclogite as a source lithology.

Origin of low-MgO primitive intraplate alkaline basalts from partial melting of carbonate-bearing eclogite sources

Zongqi Zou et al.

Summary: This study reveals the origin of alkaline basalts and their association with intraplate settings and the deep mantle. The research suggests that alkaline basalts may be formed by partial melting of carbonate-bearing eclogites and highlights the importance of carbonates in the mantle. These findings provide a new theoretical basis for deep earth geophysics and are of great significance to the carbon cycle within the Earth.

Global trends in novel stable isotopes in basalts: Theory and observations

Caroline R. Soderman et al.

Summary: The geochemistry of global mantle melts shows lithological and temperature heterogeneities from both upper and lower mantle. Non-traditional stable isotopes are suggested as new tools for understanding mantle heterogeneity. Some stable isotope systems can be used as tracers of mantle temperature and lithological heterogeneity, but are not predicted to be sensitive to mantle potential temperature variations with current analytical precision.

Decoupled Zn-Sr-Nd isotopic composition of continental intraplate basalts caused by two-stage melting process

Rong Xu et al.

Summary: The decoupled Zn-Sr-Nd isotopic composition in continental intraplate basalts is related to the presence of carbonated eclogites in their mantle source. The spatial and temporal geochemical variations of these basalts can be explained by two main melting events.

Heavy δ57Fe in ocean island basalts: A non-unique signature of processes and source lithologies in the mantle

Caroline R. Soderman et al.

Summary: The study investigates the components from the mantle and crust in the sources of ocean island basalts using iron isotope data. The results indicate that heavy iron isotopes are correlated with radiogenic isotope signatures of enriched crustal material, rather than the involvement of the Earth's core. The generation of heavy delta Fe-57 melts in OIB requires various complex processes.

MORB-like δ56Fe values unveil the effect of subduction on the South China Sea basalts

Renqiang Liao et al.

Summary: The study reveals that basalts from the South China Sea exhibit MORB-like Fe isotopic signatures, suggesting the presence of pyroxenitic components in the peridotitic mantle, possibly derived from subducted materials. This indicates that the origin of backarc basin basalts with MORB-like Fe isotopic signatures can be influenced by the presence of multiple factors, particularly in cases of a heterogeneous mantle source.

Partitioning of Fe2O3 in peridotite partial melting experiments over a range of oxygen fugacities elucidates ferric iron systematics in mid-ocean ridge basalts and ferric iron content of the upper mantle

Fred A. Davis et al.

Summary: The study investigates the behavior of Fe2O3 partitioning between silicate melts and coexisting peridotite mineral phases during basalt generation, revealing the influence of temperature, Fe2O3 concentration, and oxygen fugacity on the partitioning process. The findings suggest that the MORB source may require higher oxidation levels than previously thought, with thermodynamic models supporting this idea. The results indicate the possibility of redox melting occurring between depths of 200 to 250 km.
