This work represent a new approach in the investigation of the primary liquids at the origin of the tertiary periadriatic intrusions of the Adamello and Valmasino Bregaglia and thus in the understanding the dynamic of melt formation during Alpine Orogeny. Furthermore, is one of the first attempts to investigate in details the different kind of sources involved in magma genesis during a continental collision. Contrarily to previous studies, based on mafic dikes composition, in this work parental liquid has been computed from the mineral phases that constitute mafic and ultramafic intrusives. The main advantage is the nearly absence of crust contamination in these rocks and thus the possibility to have a nearly primary composition of the parent liquid. On the basis of the trace element signature the subcontinental nature of the magma source for both intrusion has been unravelled. (literal)

The intrusions of Adamello and Valmasino Bregaglia are related to the Alpine continental collision and contain cumulus amphibole-rich gabbroic rocks (hornblendites, amphibole-gabbros and olivine-gabbros). Literature NdSrO data suggest that these rocks were derived from uncontaminated mantle-derived liquids. Brown amphibole and its clinopyroxene inclusions were analysed for a large number of trace elements by laser ablation ICP-MS and ion microprobe. On the basis of a suitable set of S/LD, the compositions of parental liquids were determined. Primary liquid compositions were calculated assuming variable degrees of early fractional crystallisation on the basis of olivine composition. Computed liquids have a marked enrichment of light, large-ion lithophile elements, U and Th over high field strength elements and rare-earth elements. The light REEs are slightly enriched relative to heavy REEs, and clear Nb and Ta negative anomalies are lacking. HFSE and HREE compositions can be related to small degrees of batch melting of a spinel facies, MORB-type source. The enrichment of highly incompatible trace elements over HFSEs and HREEs reflect metasomatic processes which could be of Alpine and/or pre-Alpine age. The latter hypothesis implies a subcontinental lithospheric origin for the mantle sources. Nevertheless, the abrupt B enrichment of Valmasino Bregaglia liquids suggests that the partial melting of the mantle sources was triggered by a B-rich fluid of Alpine origin. (literal)

Abstract

The intrusions of Adamello and Valmasino Bregaglia are related to the Alpine continental collision and contain cumulus amphibole-rich gabbroic rocks (hornblendites, amphibole-gabbros and olivine-gabbros). Literature NdSrO data suggest that these rocks were derived from uncontaminated mantle-derived liquids. Brown amphibole and its clinopyroxene inclusions were analysed for a large number of trace elements by laser ablation ICP-MS and ion microprobe. On the basis of a suitable set of S/LD, the compositions of parental liquids were determined. Primary liquid compositions were calculated assuming variable degrees of early fractional crystallisation on the basis of olivine composition. Computed liquids have a marked enrichment of light, large-ion lithophile elements, U and Th over high field strength elements and rare-earth elements. The light REEs are slightly enriched relative to heavy REEs, and clear Nb and Ta negative anomalies are lacking. HFSE and HREE compositions can be related to small degrees of batch melting of a spinel facies, MORB-type source. The enrichment of highly incompatible trace elements over HFSEs and HREEs reflect metasomatic processes which could be of Alpine and/or pre-Alpine age. The latter hypothesis implies a subcontinental lithospheric origin for the mantle sources. Nevertheless, the abrupt B enrichment of Valmasino Bregaglia liquids suggests that the partial melting of the mantle sources was triggered by a B-rich fluid of Alpine origin. (literal)
