- W1968397458 abstract "A petrographic, mineral and bulk chemical study of a xenolith suite of granulites and eclogites from Sample Creek, Liberia and Koidu, Sierra Leone, has been undertaken with a view to determining the nature of the crust-upper mantle interface. A broad range of xenolith compositions is present (from high-MgO eclogites to garnet-anorthosites) and a systematic AFM trend is established, consistent with mafic and ultramafic melt fractionation at moderate pressures (10–20 kbar). A trend is established for the entire xenolith suite among bulk chemistry, seismic P-wave velocity and a crust/mantle (C/M) bulk chemical ratio defined as Na2O + K2O + SiO2/FeO + MgO mole %. Three populations are present: a granulitic crustal group (SG < 3.0; VP = 6.6–7.2 km/s; C/M > 3.0); a granulite and eclogite transitional group (SG 3.0–3.3; VP = 7.2–8.0 km/s; C/M 1.5–3.0); andanexclusivelyuppermantleeclogiticgroup (ifSG > 3.3; VP = 8.2–8.7 km/s; C/M ~ 1.5). From these data and coupled with garnet-clinopyroxene mineral thermometry and accessory phases (e.g., diamond, graphite, coesite, kyanite) or the presence of plagioclase, a xenolith geotherm is established based on stratigraphic sequencing and phase transition boundaries. Diamond and coesite-bearing eclogites conform to the 40 mW/m2 standard cratonic low heat flow geotherm, whereas the plagioclase granulites at lower pressures correspond to an average rift geotherm of 90 mW/m2. The latter is ascribed to igneous underplating onto the lower crust or to thermal perturbations from an earlier tectonic event. Graphite and kyanite eclogites and the transitional group (in SG, VP and C/M ratio) of eclogites and granulites fall between the 40 and 90 mW/m2 reference geotherms. The xenoliths are meta-igneous, the lower crust and uppermost mantle are mafic in composition and the petrologic Moho is an intercalated, interstratified horizon of eclogite and garnet granulite. Growth of the early crust was largely a consequence of asthenospheric depletion in which underplating rather than lateral accretion was dominant." @default.
