Subducted serpentinites have the potential to control the exchange of volatile and redox sensitive elements (e.g., Fe, S, C, N) between the slab, the mantle wedge and the deep mantle. Here we examine the mobility of iron and zinc in serpentinite-derived fluids by using their stable isotopes (δFe and δZn) in high-pressure subducted meta-serpentinites from the Cerro del Almirez massif (Spain). This massif preserves a metamorphic front between antigorite (Atg-serpentinite) and antigorite-olivine-orthopyroxene (transitional lithologies) -bearing serpentinites, and chlorite-bearing harzburgite (Chl-harzburgite), displaying granofels, spinifex and fine-grained recrystallized textures. Those rocks were formed at eclogite facies conditions (1.6–1.9 GPa and 680–710 °C). The mean δFe of all the Cerro del Almirez meta-serpentinites (+0.05 ± 0.01‰) is identical within an error to that of primitive mantle (+0.03 ± 0.03‰). A positive correlation between δFe and indices of peridotite protolith fertility (e.g., AlO/SiO) suggests that the δFe values of Cerro del Almirez samples predominantly reflect protolith compositional variations, likely produced by prior episodes of melt extraction. In contrast, the Zn concentrations ([Zn] = 34–67 ppm) and isotope signatures (δZn = +0.18 – +0.55‰) of the Cerro del Almirez samples show a broad range of values, distinct to those of the primitive mantle ([Zn] = 54 ppm; δZn = +0.16 ± 0.06‰). The Atg-serpentinites ([Zn] = 34–46 ppm; δZn = +0.23 ± 0.06‰) display similar [Zn] and δZn values to those of slab serpentinites from other high-pressure meta-ophiolites. Both [Zn] and δZn increase in transitional lithologies ([Zn] = 45–67 ppm; δZn = +0.30 ± 0.06‰) and Chl-harzburgites with granofels ([Zn] = 38–59 ppm; δZn = +0.33 ± 0.04‰) or spinifex ([Zn] = 48–66 ppm; δZn = +0.43 ± 0.09‰) textures. Importantly, Cerro del Almirez transitional lithologies and Chl-harzburgites display abnormally high [Zn] relative to abyssal peridotites and serpentinites (29–45 ppm) and a positive correlation exists between [Zn] and δZn. This correlation is interpreted to reflect the mobilization of Zn by subduction zone fluids at high pressures and temperatures coupled with significant Zn stable isotope fractionation. An increase in [Zn] and δZn from Atg-serpentinite to Chl-harzburgite is associated with an increase in U/Yb, Sr/Y, Ba/Ce and Rb/Ce, suggesting that both [Zn] and δZn record the interaction of the transitional lithologies and the Chl-harzburgites with fluids that had equilibrated with metasedimentary rocks. Quantitative models show that metasediment derived fluids can have isotopically heavy Zn as a consequence of sediment carbonate dissolution and subsequent Zn complexation with carbonate species in the released fluids (e.g., [ZnHCO(HO)] or [ZnCO(HO)]). Our models further demonstrate that Zn complexation with reduced carbon species cannot produce fluids with heavy δZn signature and hence explain the δZn variations observed in the Chl-harzburgites. The most straightforward explanation for the heavy δZn of the Cerro del Almirez samples is thus serpentinite dehydration accompanied by the open system infiltration of the massif by oxidized, carbonate-rich sediment-derived fluids released during prograde subduction-related metamorphism., We thank G.

International audience; We report stable Zr isotope compositions of four common natural zircon grains: Penglai, 91500, GJ-1 and Mud Tank, and 22 whole rock reference materials which include fifteen magmatic rocks, one metamorphic rock, six sediments or sedimentary rocks. In addition, the isotopic calibration of the three Zr standard solutions used in different publications (IPGP-Zr, SRM3169, NIST) has been determined. The data are reported as δ94/90ZrIPGP-Zr, the permille deviation of the 94Zr/90Zr ratio relative to the IPGP-Zr standard solution. The isotopic offsets among the three Zr standard solutions are small (less than 0.033 ± 0.033‰). The isotopic composition of the zircons agrees well with previous in-situ measurements, validating the in-situ measurements. On the other hand, all the samples analyzed in this study show a large range of Zr isotope compositions of 0.602‰. This confirms the fairly large natural Zr isotopic variations. The general variation of δ94/90ZrIPGP-Zr with magmatic evolution of the various igneous samples is in agreement with previous studies, with the most magmatically evolved samples being the isotopically heavier. The two magmatic zircons are isotopically lighter compared to the magmatic rocks, which is in agreement with the enrichment of heavy isotope in the evolved samples. This is ultimately controlled by the crystallization of isotopically light zircons.

Subduction zones are key regions of chemical and mass transfer between the Earth’s surface and mantle. During subduction, oxidized material is carried into the mantle and large amounts of water are released due to the breakdown of hydrous minerals such as lawsonite. Dehydration accompanied by the release of oxidizing species may play a key role in controlling redox changes in the subducting slab and overlying mantle wedge. Here we present measurements of oxygen fugacity, using garnet–epidote oxybarometry, together with analyses of the stable iron isotope composition of zoned garnets from Sifnos, Greece. We find that the garnet interiors grew under relatively oxidized conditions whereas garnet rims record more reduced conditions. Garnet δ56Fe increases from core to rim as the system becomes more reduced. Thermodynamic analysis shows that this change from relatively oxidized to more reduced conditions occurred during lawsonite dehydration. We conclude that the garnets maintain a record of progressive dehydration and that the residual mineral assemblages within the slab became more reduced during progressive subduction-zone dehydration. This is consistent with the hypothesis that lawsonite dehydration accompanied by the release of oxidizing species, such as sulfate, plays an important and measurable role in the global redox budget and contributes to sub-arc mantle oxidation in subduction zones. Lawsonite dehydration and release of oxidizing fluids could play an important role in sub-arc mantle oxidation in subduction zones, suggest measurements of changing oxygen fugacity in zoned garnets from Sifnos, Greece.

The stable isotopic composition of insoluble, refractory elements such as titanium (Ti) or zirconium (Zr), which are modified by magmatic differentiation but, a priori, are poorly affected by weathering or diagenesis, serve as powerful potential proxies to reconstruct the compositional evolution of the continental crust. Here we present the evolution of the Zr stable isotopic compositions ( δ 94 / 90 ZrIPGP-Zr, per mille deviation of 94Zr/90Zr from IPGP-Zr standard) of the continental crust through time, using 38 sedimentary samples from the upper continental crust (UCC), including 12 Holocene loesses from the Chinese Loess Plateau and Xinjiang, three oceanic sediments from the sea floor outboard of the Lesser Antilles island arc and 23 glacial diamictite composites with depositional ages ranging from ∼ 2.9 Ga to 0.3 Ga from South Africa, South America, Canada, USA and China. The samples show limited Zr isotopic variations with δ 94 / 90 ZrIPGP-Zr values of 0.043‰ - 0.109‰ for loess; 0.069‰ - 0.083‰ for oceanic sediments and 0.031‰ - 0.118‰ for glacial diamictites; their Zr-weighted average values are, 0.081 ± 0.044‰ (2SD, n = 12), 0.073 ± 0.015‰ (2SD, n = 3) and 0.078 ± 0.047‰ (2SD, n = 23), respectively. The isotopic similarity among loess, oceanic sediments and glacial diamictites, suggests that zircon enrichment effects previously documented in some sedimentary samples have not biased the Zr isotope compositions of these sedimentary rocks from their source rocks. Two groups with or without Zr enrichment have similar average δ 94 / 90 ZrIPGP-Zr values (0.075 ± 0.040‰ and 0.080 ± 0.046‰). There is no correlation between Zr isotope compositions and any proxy of chemical weathering (e.g., Al2O3/SiO2, Fe2O3/SiO2, CIA, K2O/Al2O3 and δ 7 Li). The δ 94 / 90 ZrIPGP-Zr values are quite constant for these sedimentary samples regardless of their depositional ages and locations. Therefore, the UCC appears to have had a constant Zr isotopic composition between 3 Ga and present, and is homogeneous at a large scale. Combining data for sedimentary reference materials from the literature and the sedimentary rocks in this study, we suggest a Zr-weighted δ 94 / 90 ZrIPGP-Zr value of 0.077 ± 0.058‰ (2SD, n = 44) for the UCC, which is statistically distinct (t test, p value = 2.88 × 10−10) and higher than that of the mantle (0.040 ± 0.044‰, n = 72). Combining the δ 94 / 90 ZrIPGP-Zr values of different terrestrial reservoirs, the δ 94 / 90 ZrIPGP-Zr of the BSE and bulk Earth is constrained to be 0.041 ± 0.041‰.

Arc lavas display elevated Fe3+/ΣFe ratios relative to MORB. One mechanism to explain this is the mobilization and transfer of oxidized or oxidizing components from the subducting slab to the mantle wedge. Here we use iron and zinc isotopes, which are fractionated upon complexation by sulfide, chloride, and carbonate ligands, to remark on the chemistry and oxidation state of fluids released during prograde metamorphism of subducted oceanic crust. We present data for metagabbros and metabasalts from the Chenaillet massif, Queyras complex, and the Zermatt-Saas ophiolite (Western European Alps), which have been metamorphosed at typical subduction zone P-T conditions and preserve their prograde metamorphic history. There is no systematic, detectable fractionation of either Fe or Zn isotopes across metamorphic facies, rather the isotope composition of the eclogites overlaps with published data for MORB. The lack of resolvable Fe isotope fractionation with increasing prograde metamorphism likely reflects the mass balance of the system, and in this scenario Fe mobility is not traceable with Fe isotopes. Given that Zn isotopes are fractionated by S-bearing and C-bearing fluids, this suggests that relatively small amounts of Zn are mobilized from the mafic lithologies in within these types of dehydration fluids. Conversely, metagabbros from the Queyras that are in proximity to metasediments display a significant Fe isotope fractionation. The covariation of δ56Fe of these samples with selected fluid mobile elements suggests the infiltration of sediment derived fluids with an isotopically light signature during subduction.

We thank the ERC under the European Community’s H2020 framework program/ERC grant agreement # 637503 (Pristine)) and for the UnivEarthS Labex program (no. ANR-10-LABX-0023 and ANR-11-IDEX-0005-02). Parts of this work were supported by IPGP multidisciplinary program PARI, and by Region île-de-France SESAME Grant (no. 12015908). High-precision double-spike Zr stable isotope measurements (expressed as δ94/90ZrIPGP-Zr, the permil deviation of the 94Zr/90Zr ratio from the IPGP-Zr standard) are presented for a range of ocean island basalts (OIB) and mid-ocean ridge basalts (MORB) to examine mass-dependent isotopic variations of zirconium in Earth. Ocean island basalts samples, spanning a range of radiogenic isotopic flavours (HIMU, EM) show a limited range in δ94/90ZrIPGP-Zr (0.046 ± 0.037 ‰; 2sd, n=13). Similarly, MORB samples with chondrite-normalized La/Sm of > 0.7 show a limited range in δ94/90ZrIPGP-Zr (0.053 ± 0.040 ‰; 2sd, n=8). In contrast, basaltic lavas from mantle sources that have undergone significant melt depletion, such as depleted normal MORB (N-MORB) show resolvable variations in δ94/90ZrIPGP-Zr, from -0.045 ± 0.018 to 0.074 ± 0.023 ‰. Highly evolved igneous differentiates (>65 wt% SiO2) from Hekla volcano in Iceland are isotopically heavier than less evolved igneous rocks, up to 0.53 ‰. These results suggest that both mantle melt depletion and extreme magmatic differentiation leads to resolvable mass-dependent Zr isotope fractionation. We find that this isotopic fractionation is most likely driven by incorporation of light isotopes of Zr within the 8-fold coordinated sites of zircons, driving residual melts, with a lower coordination chemistry, towards heavier values. Using a Rayleigh fractionation model, we suggest a αzircon-melt of 0.9995 based on the whole rock δ94/90ZrIPGP-Zr values of the samples from Hekla volcano (Iceland). Zirconium isotopic fractionation during melt-depletion of the mantle is less well-constrained, but may result from incongruent melting and incorporation of isotopically light Zr in the 8-fold coordinated M2 site of orthopyroxene. Based on these observations lavas originating from the effect of melt extraction from a depleted mantle source (N-MORB) or that underwent zircon saturation (SiO2 >65 wt%) are removed from the dataset to give an estimate of the primitive mantle Zr isotope composition of 0.048 ± 0.032 ‰; 2sd, n=48. These data show that major controls on Zr fractionation in the Earth result from partial melt extraction in the mantle and by zircon fractionation in differentiated melts. Conversely, fertile mantle is homogenous with respect to Zr isotopes. Zirconium mass-dependent fractionation effects can therefore be used to trace large-scale mantle melt depletion events and the effects of felsic crust formation. Publisher PDF

International audience; Young (61 Ma) unaltered picrites from Baffin Island, northeast Canada, possess some of the highest 3He/4He (up to 50 Ra) seen on Earth, and provide a unique opportunity to study primordial mantle that has escaped subsequent chemical modification. These high-degree partial melts also record anomalously high 182W/184W ratios, but their Sr-Nd-Hf-Pb isotopic compositions (including 142Nd) are indistinguishable from those of North Atlantic mid-ocean ridge basalts. New high precision Fe and Zn stable isotope analyses of Baffin Island picrites show limited variability with δ56Fe ranging from −0.03‰ to 0.13‰ and δ66Zn varying from 0.18‰ to 0.28‰. However, a clear inflection is seen in both sets of isotope data around the composition of the parental melt (MgO = 21 wt%; δ56Fe = 0.08 ± 0.04‰; and δ66Zn = 0.24 ± 0.03‰), with two diverging trends interpreted to reflect the crystallisation of olivine and spinel in low-MgO samples and the accumulation of olivine at higher MgO. Olivine mineral separates are significantly isotopically lighter than their corresponding whole rocks (δ56Fe ≥ −0.62‰ and δ66Zn ≥ −0.22‰), with analyses of individual olivine phenocrysts having extremely variable Fe isotope compositions (δ56Fe = −0.01‰ to −0.80‰). By carrying out modelling in three-isotope space, we show that the very negative Fe isotope compositions of olivine phenocryst are the result of kinetic isotope fractionation from disequilibrium diffusional processes. An excellent correlation is observed between δ56Fe and δ66Zn, demonstrating that Zn isotopes are fractionated by the same processes as Fe in simple systems dominated by magmatic olivine. The incompatible behaviour of Cu during magmatic evolution is consistent with the sulfide-undersaturated nature of these melts. Consequently Zn behaves as a purely lithophile element, and estimates of the bulk Earth Zn isotope composition based on Baffin Island should therefore be robust. The ancient undegassed lower mantle sampled at Baffin Island possesses a δ56Fe value that is within error of previous estimates of bulk mantle δ56Fe, however, our estimate of the Baffin mantle δ66Zn (0.20 ± 0.03‰) is significantly lower than some previous estimates. Comparison of our new data with those for Archean and Proterozoic komatiites is consistent with the Fe and Zn isotope composition of the mantle remaining constant from at least 3 Ga to the present day. By focusing on large-degree partial melts (e.g. komatiites and picrites) we are potenitally biasing our record to samples that will inevitably have interacted with, entrained and melted the ambient shallow mantle during ascent. For a major element such as Fe, that will continuosly participate in melting as it rises through the mantle, the final isotopic compositon of the magama will be a weighted average of the complete melting column. Thus it is unsuprising that minimal Fe isotope variations are seen between localities. In contrast, the unique geochemical signatures (e.g. He and W) displayed by the Baffin Island picrites are inferred to solely originate from the lowermost mantle and will be continuously diluted upon magma ascent.

International audience; Zirconium plays a major role in geochemistry as it is the major cation of zircons - the oldest preserved minerals on Earth. While Zr isotopic anomalies in meteorites have been widely studied, mass dependant Zr stable isotope fractionation during geological processing has been untouched. Here, we report Zr stable isotopic data for terrestrial igneous rocks and present a novel method for the determination of Zr stable isotope ratios within natural geological materials using ion exchange, double-spike, multiple-collector inductively coupled mass spectrometry (MC-ICPMS). Zirconium is isolated from the rock matrix via a chromatographic separation protocol using a first pass column with AG1-X8 anion exchange resin, and a second pass column containing Eichrom (R) DGA resin. A Zr-91-Zr-96 double-spike was created from enriched single Zr-91 and Zr-96 isotope spikes. Samples were combined with the Zr double-spike at a 43: 57 spike: sample [Zr] ratio, prior to dissolution and column chemistry. After column chemistry the purified sample solutions were analysed on a Thermo Scientific Neptune Plus MC-ICPMS and the data was reduced using IsoSpike, with the final Zr isotope data being reported as the per mil deviation of the Zr-94/Zr-90 from the IPGP-Zr standard (delta Zr-94/90(IPGP-Zr)). The delta Zr-94/90(IPGP-Zr) of six igneous standard reference materials: two basalts (BHVO-2 and JB-2), one andesite (AGV-2), two granites (GA and GS-N) and a serpentinite (UB-N) as well as one individual zircon grain (Plesovice zircon), are presented using this method. Sample measurements are presented with an analytical uncertainty of +/- similar to 0.05% (2sd) for delta Zr-94/90(IPGP-Zr) and these rocks exhibit isotopic variations of similar to 0.15% for delta Zr-94/90(IPGP-Zr). These results demonstrate that natural variations of Zr isotopes occur within terrestrial igneous rocks, and are resolvable with this method. Finally the variation of delta Zr-94/90(IPGP-Zr) values observed within the magmatic rock reference materials is correlated (R-2 = 0.78; n = 5) with SiO2, suggesting that Zr isotopes could serve as a sensitive tracer of magmatic processes.

Volcanic edifice collapses generate some of Earth's largest landslides. How such unloading affects the magma storage systems is important for both hazard assessment and for determining long-term controls on volcano growth and decay. Here we present a detailed stratigraphic and petrological analyses of volcanic landslide and eruption deposits offshore Montserrat, in a subduction zone setting, sampled during Integrated Ocean Drilling Program Expedition 340. A large (6–10 km3) collapse of the Soufriere Hills Volcano at ~130 ka was followed by explosive basaltic volcanism and the formation of a new basaltic volcanic center, the South Soufriere Hills, estimated to have initiated
