Abstract

Alkali rhyolites in the Cheonmunbong of the Mt. Baekdu stratovolcano show porphyritic texture in the glassy or aphanic groundmass. Major phenocryst is alkali-feldspar, pyroxene, and amphibole, and small amount of microphenocryst is olivine, quartz, opaque mineral (ilmenite). The content of $Fe^{2+}/(Fe^{2+}+Mg^{2+})$ and alkali elements in the mafic minerals is high. Alkali feldspar is classified as sanidine or anorthclase, olivine as fayalite, and pyroxene as ferro-hedenbergite of ferro-augite area. Amphibole belongs to alkali amphibole group, but FeO and $Fe_2O_3$ were not separated, so it is required future studies. Nb(-) anomaly suggesting that slab-derived materials might have played a primary role in the genesis of the rhyolite magma, is not observed. It is noted that they originated in the within plate environment which is not related to subduction zone of the convergent plate boundary. The Mt. Baekdu alkaline rocks are classified into the comendite series. The alkali rhyolites of the summit at Mt. Baekdu shows the disequilibrium mineral assemblages, suggesting that it evolved from thrachytic magma with experience of magma mixing as well as fractional crystallization.

백두산 천문봉 일대의 알칼리유문암은 유리질 혹은 은미정질 석기에 반상조직을 나타내며, 반정과 기질부의 주 구성광물은 알칼리장석, 휘석, 각섬석이고, 그 외 소량의 감람석, 석영, 불투명광물이 관찰된다. 알칼리장석은 새니딘과 아노소클레이스이며, 대부분의 유색광물은 $Fe^{2+}/(Fe^{2+}+Mg^{2+})$ 함량과 알칼리 원소의 함량이 높다. 감람석은 철감람석에 해당되며, 휘석은 철보통휘석 영역의 철헤덴버자이트이다. 각섬석은 알칼리 각 섬석군에 속하지만, FeO와 $Fe_2O_3$가 분리 측정되지 못해 향후 연구가 더 필요하다. 미량원소의 거미그림에서 Nb 부(-) 이상을 보이지 않으므로, 판경계부의 섭입대 화산활동과 무관한 판내부 화산활동의 산물로 판단된다. 백두산 알칼리유문암은 코멘다이트 계열에 속한다. 비평형 상태의 광물 조합을 나타내는 백두산 산정부의 알칼리유문암들은 성층화산체 형성 단계에서 조면암질 마그마로부터 분별결정작용 이외에도 마그마 혼합을 경험하면서 진화하였음을 시사한다.
