Introduction
Enclaves are divided into two categories: autolith (an enclave that is homogeneous with its host rocks) and xenolith (an enclave that is not homogeneous with its host rocks). Qezelje-Kand stratovolcano is located north of Sanandaj-Sirjan zone and in Tabriz-Hamadan volcanic belt. This volcano consists of a mixture of lava, bombs, scoria and ash, and several enclaves can be seen inside the lava and their ejecta. The felsic enclaves, which are pieces of bedrock, can be seen in different sizes from a few millimeters to a few decimeters, and the mafic enclaves can be seen from a few millimeters to a few centimeters. Due to the mineralogical similarity with the host rocks, there is a debate about whether they are autoliths or xenoliths. In this research, mafic enclaves including phlogopite-pyroxenite and pyroxenite have been studied. In this research, mafic enclaves including phlogopite-pyroxenite and pyroxenite have been studied. By using petrography and chemistry of minerals such as pyroxene and phlogopite and comparing them with the host volcanic rock as well as thermobarometry, the physical and chemical conditions of magma crystallization, magmatic origin and the possibility of autoliths or xenoliths of these enclaves have been investigated.
Materials and Methods
After fieldwork and sampling, thin sections were prepared for petrographic studies. Then, two enclave samples (including phlogopite-pyroxenite and pyroxenite) and one host volcanic rock sample were selected for Electron microprobe analysis, and their pyroxene and phlogopite minerals were analyzed. GCDkit, MagMin_PT, Excel and Corel draw software were used in data analysis and processing.
Results and Discussion
The minerals of phlogopite-pyroxenites include clinopyroxene, phlogopite and apatite with cumulate texture. Pyroxenite enclaves contain clinopyroxene with a small amount of phlogopite with granular texture. Host volcanic rocks are composed of pyroxene, plagioclase, olivine, biotite and hornblende with porphyric texture.
According to the results of the chemical analysis of the samples, the composition of pyroxenes of all three samples are calcium-magnesium-iron and clinopyroxene type. The chemical composition of phlogopite-pyroxenite, pyroxenite and host volcanic rock enclaves are Wo39.3-48.2-En39-54.2-Fs3.6-12.5, Wo43.1-49-En32-45-Fs8.6-18.9 and Wo42.8-46.2 -En42.6-46.5-Fs6.1-11.9. Clinopyroxenes are placed in the tetrahedral range in the Al and Si distribution diagram. Magnesium number for clinopyroxenites of phlogopite-pyroxenite sample is 0.76-0.90, for pyroxenite sample 0.64-0.84 and for host volcanic sample 0.78-0.88, which indicates the crystallization of clinopyroxenes of each three examples of a primary magma. By using the value of AlIV versus AlVI, the amount of water pressure at the time of crystallization for clinopyroxene of the phlogopite-pyroxenite sample and the host volcanic rock is 10% and less than 10% for the pyroxenite sample. The biotite of the phlogopite-pyroxenite sample and the host volcanic rock are of the phlogopite type and are re- equilibrate biotite in terms of their origin. In various diagrams drawn based on the chemistry of minerals, the position of clinopyroxenes of the phlogopite-pyroxenite sample is the same as the host volcanic rock, but they are not the same as the clinopyroxenites of the pyroxenite enclave sample. Due to the absence of minerals such as olivine, garnet and orthopyroxene in the enclaves and host volcanic rock, clinopyroxene was used for thermobarometry measurement. Two methods of clinopyroxene-melt and single clinopyroxene were used here. To use the clinopyroxene-melt method, if the value of KD (Fe-Mg exchange coefficient between melt and clinopyroxene) is 0.28 ± 0.08, it can be assumed that there was an equilibrium between the clinopyroxene mineral and the melt during crystallization. The KD of the pyroxenite enclave is greater than 0.28 and shows that it is not in equilibrium with the melt. The KD of the phlogopite-pyroxenite enclave and the host volcanic rock is 0.25-0.28 and 0.27, respectively, accordingly samples that are in equilibrium with the melt can be used for thermobarometry based on this method.
Conclusion
Based on the chemistry of the clinopyroxene crystals in the enclaves and the host rock, the composition of the magma is alkaline to sub-alkaline, it corresponds to the conditions of high oxygen fugacity and they came from a subduction-related tectonic origin. Also, the chemistry of phlogopite samples shows that these samples are composed of calc-alkaline magma in an orogenic environment. The calculated temperature for the phlogopite-pyroxenite enclave is 1150-1229 and for the host volcanic rock is 1190-1228ºC and the pressure calculated for them is 4.4-14 and 8-13 kb, respectively. According to the petrographic and geochemical evidence, it can be said that the phlogopite-pyroxenite sample is an autolith and is formed from the host magma, and the pyroxenite sample is probably a piece of mantle xenolith that was removed along with the eruption and reached the earth's surface.
