Sampling an intact sequence of oceanic crust through lavas, dikes, and gabbros is necessary to advance the understanding formation evolution formed at mid-ocean ridges, but it has been elusive goal scientific ocean drilling for decades. Recent in eastern Pacific Ocean Hole 1256D reached gabbro within seismic layer 2, 1157 meters into a superfast spreading rate. The are crystallized melt lenses that beneath ridge. depth which was confirms predictions extrapolated from experiments modern...
This study presents improvements of internally heated pressure vessels to realize high-pressure experiments at controlled fO₂ in low-viscosity systems such as basaltic ones. The new design is a combination two experimental techniques: hydrogen sensor membrane made platinum measure fH₂, and therefore fO₂, rapid-quench system avoid crystallization melts during quench. setup has been tested successfully temperatures up 1250 °C pressures 500 MPa. Basaltic containing 9.38 wt% water can be...
In the Oman ophiolite crustal section, a contact zone between gabbro unit and volcanics diabase sheeted dikes, called root of dike complex, has been recently mapped at fine scale in selected area. The is derived from fast spreading ridge which had melt lens located main complex. With few exceptions accounted for, this horizon fairly constant thickness, ∼100 m, crude internal pseudo‐stratigraphy. At base are isotropic ophitic gabbros interpreted as thermal boundary layer. This layer...
The ODP/IODP multileg campaign at ODP Site 1256 (Cocos plate, eastern equatorial Pacific) provides the first continuous in situ sampling of fast spreading ocean crust from extrusive lavas, through sheeted dikes and down into uppermost gabbros. This paper focuses on a detailed petrographic microanalytical investigation gabbro section drilled during IODP Expedition 312. marked patchy spotty features that can be observed many Hole 1256D gabbros is mostly due to close association two different...
Fluorine plays an important role in magmatic and hydrothermal processes, but due to its low abundance geological samples determining F is difficult by electron probe microanalysis. By using a W‐Si multi‐layered pseudocrystal as the diffraction crystal instead of thallium acid phthalate ( TAP ), count rates were considerably higher, which however introduced spectral interferences between K α Fe L Mg β lines when normal integral mode applied. In this study, we developed protocol for measuring...

Abstract The combined Fe–Ti oxide geothermometry and oxygen barometry is an important tool in petrology volcanology. However, its appropriate application to natural magmatic systems still challenged by poorly constrained kinetics of the re-equilibration processes between magnetite, ilmenite, melt other phases. In this study, we experimentally investigated how fast oxides can re-equilibrate their compositions adapt changing temperature and/or redox conditions. A series equilibrium...
