Abstract

Phlogopite and kaersutite, showing distinctively different textural characteristics compared to the common phenocrysts, are observed in alkali basalt from Jeju Island. They occur as large crystals (2-10 mm) in host basalts, whereas fine-grained phlogopite and kaersutite occur in ultramafic mantle xenoliths and mafic gabbroic xenoliths, respectively, as an interstitial and microvein phases, or in corona textures (<1 mm). This textural characteristics of fine-grained grains clearly indicates secondary in origin. Phlogopite contains high $TiO_2$(4.1-6.9 wt%) and F(2.8-4.6 wt%) and relatively high mg#[=100Mg/(Mg+$Fe^t$) in mols, where $Fe^t$ is total iron](88-80), whereas kaersutite has high $TiO_2$(5.6-6.11 wt%) and much lower mg#s(68-64). Our textural observations and the geochemical character of these hydrous minerals suggest that they were unrelated to each other and mica formation happened early in the upper mantle before the mantle xenoliths had been trapped. In contrast, kaersutite formation has happened later, probably during the late stage of crystallization as intracrustal processes. The presence of phlogopite and kaersutitic amphibole is a direct evidence for K-, Ti-, F- and $H_2O$-bearing fluid/melt percolation in the lithosphere beneath Jeju Island, indicating that they are product of interaction between host rock/peridotite/fluid-melt. Thus, the upper mantle/lower crust beneath Jeju Island are metasomatized to various extents, characterized by a change in major metasomatic hydrous minerals from phlogopite to amphibole with decreasing depth.

제주도의 초염기성-염기성 암편을 포획하고 있는 현무암은 조직적으로 일반 반정과 뚜렷하게 구별되는 금운모와 커슈타이트 결정을 산출하고 있다. 금운모와 커슈타이트는 모암인 현무암에서는 비교적 조립질 (2-10 mm)로 산출되며, 금운모는 초염기성 맨틀포획암에서, 커슈타이트는 염기성 반려암질 포획암에서 세립의 입자(1 mm 이하)로 간극을 채우거나, 미세맥으로 혹은 코로나로 뚜렷한 이차조직으로 산출된다. 금운모는 $TiO_2$(4.1-6.9 wt%)와 F(2.8-4.6wt%)가 풍부하고, mg#[=100Mg/(Mg+$Fe^t$) in mols, where $Fe^t$ is total iron]는 88-80으로 매우 높다. 커슈타이트는 높은 $TiO_2$(5.6-6.11 wt%)와 비교적 낮은 mg#(68-64)를 보인다. 금운모와 커슈타이트는 서로 관련된 것은 아니며, 금운모의 형성은 상부맨틀에서 먼저 일어난 사건이고 커슈타이트의 형성은 하부지각에서 나중에 일어난 사건으로 해석된다. 이들 결정들 사이의 mg#와 조직적 특성은 제주도 암석권에서 맨틀의 심부일수록 금운모 부화작용을 경험하였으며, 천부일수록 각섬석 부화작용이 있었음을 지시하고 있다. 현무암에 금운모와 각섬석이 산출된다는 것은 제주도 상부맨틀/하부지각에 K-, Ti-를 함유한 휘발성 성분이 풍부한 멜트/유체가 이동하고 있다는 것에 대한 직접적인 증거가 되며, 제주도 하부 상부맨틀/하부지각도 다양한 모달 교대작용을 경험하였음을 의미한다.
