摘要
Compositions of spinel and grassy melt inclusions in primitive olivine (FO89.3-91) from basalt AII32 D11-177 at 43 degrees N, Mid-Atlantic Ridge fall into two principal groups. The dominant (similar to 90%) Group-I spinel and melt inclusions have typical MORE compositions. In contrast, Group-II. Cr-spinels are strongly enriched in TiO2 (2.6-4.1 wt%), and Group-II melt inclusions show significant enrichment in SiO2 (54.6-58.4 wt%), TiO2, Na2O and K2O, whereas their CaO contents (9.3-11.1 wt%) are unusually low. Group-II melts are also remarkable in crystallizing high-Mg orthopyroxene (Mg# 91). These mineral associations and melt compositions are unusual for MORE, and are interpreted to result from interaction between MORE-like melts and harzburgitic peridotite at low pressure.
