英文摘要: We present the first stable chromium isotopic data for a suite of ocean island basalts (OIB) in order to investigate the Cr isotope fractionation during major igneous processes such as partial melting and fractional crystallisation. Twenty-one basaltic samples from Fangataufa Island (Tuamotu Archipelago, Pacific Ocean) have been analysed for major- and trace-element concentrations, and Sr, Nd and Cr isotopic compositions. They define two distinct series: medium to high-K calc-alcaline and low to medium-K calc-alcaline. The variations in incompatible elements such as La and Yb mostly result from varying degrees of partial melting of a mixed mantle source composed of two lithologies: garnet bearing peridotite and a recycled “fertile” component. The recycled component is also identified with the Sr and Nd isotopic composition of Fangataufa basalts. In contrast, the variations in compatible element contents such as Cr and Ni are governed by fractional crystallisation of a mixture of olivine, clinopyroxene and spinel. The samples analysed in this study are also characterised by small Cr isotope variations from −0.24 to −0.17‰. The Cr-poor samples have on average lighter Cr isotopic compositions compared to Cr-rich ones. The observed variations in the low-K series can be modelled by a Rayleigh fractionation model with a fractionation factor (Δ53Crcrystals-melt) of −0.010 ± 0.005‰. The fractionation is more limited than that observed in lunar basalts and two hypotheses may explain this observation: a change in crystallising phases (cpx + spinel on Earth and spinel on the Moon) and/or the difference in temperature and oxygen fugacity between the crystallisation of lunar and terrestrial basalts. The more primitive basalts from Fangataufa have an average Cr isotopic composition of −0.18 ± 0.01‰, lighter than the Cr isotopic composition of pristine mantle xenoliths. Chromium isotopes are therefore slightly fractionated during partial melting with the melts depleted in heavy Cr isotopes. The difference between silicate melts and mantle xenoliths indicates that partial melting could produce small but resolvable shift in mantle xenoliths Cr isotopic composition of up to 0.05‰. The covariation between δ53Cr and ε143Nd values in Fangataufa basalts can be explained by two processes: (i) lower degrees of partial melting produce lighter Cr isotopic composition in basaltic liquids relative to their sources and (ii) melts produced by low degree of partial melting have also experienced more fractional crystallisation. © 2019 Elsevier B.V.
