- W2040792234 abstract "The Freetown layered complex, located on the western coast of Sierra Leone, is a rift-related tholeiitic intrusion associated with the Jurassic (∼193 Ma) opening of the Atlantic Ocean at midlatitude. The complex is ∼ 60 km long, 14 km wide, and 7 km thick along a major E-W traverse extending from Waterloo to York. Gravity data and dips of laminations in the layered rocks suggest that the intrusive complex is lopolithic in shape, with some parts presently being submarine. The exposed rocks consist of a rhythmically layered sequence of troctolite, olivine gabbro, gabbronorite, gabbro, and anorthosite. The complex has been divided into four zones delineated by (1) topographic expression, whereby the base of each zone forms a scarp, and the top forms dip slopes and strike valleys; and (2) cyclical repetition of rock types (Wells, 1962). A new detailed stratigraphic section along the Waterloo-York traverse is presented, in which Zone 3 is subdivided into an upper 2000-m-thick anorthosite-gabbro interval and a lower 1700-m-thick rhythmically layered subzone. Inverted pigeonite first became a cumulus phase at the bottom of Zone 2, before disappearing near the middle of Zone 3 at the anorthosite-gabbro interval, only to reappear at the top of Zone 4 with cumulus titanomagnetite. Mineral compositions in the complex range from An72 to An72 plagioclase, Fo56 to Fo75 olivine, En38.5 to En44.8 augite, and En54.9 to En74.6 orthopyroxene. The compositions of plagioclase and olivine in Zone 2 vary irregularly, although the overall trend is toward reverse differentiation. By contrast, Zone 4 is characterized by a rapid decrease in Fo and An from the base of the zone upward, followed by an increase. Cryptic variation also is shown by the Ni content of olivine and Cr content of clinopyroxene. The overall pattern of cryptic variation in the complex suggests continual leakage of fresh magma into the chamber, followed by oscillatory spikes in the rhythmically layered subzone of Zone 3, where major influxes of new magma occurred. The changes in mineral compositions and modal abundances as a function of stratigraphic height are the result of magma recharge, followed by mixing of new and evolved resident magmas in the Freetown magma chamber. This probably resulted in the expansion of the chamber and crystallization in situ without any discharge. The inferred crystallization sequence for each zone is different, reflecting different magma compositions and changes that occur in the magmas during crystallization. The alternative hypotheses that the Freetown Complex formed from a single parental magma, or that mineral layering was the result of the crystallization sequence Fe-Ti oxides→olivine→pyroxene→plagioclase, are not supported by the evidence." @default.
