Abstract

The Skaergaard intrusion is widely considered a type example of a strongly fractionated, layered intrusion that has undergone extensive in situ igneous differentiation. The Intrusion, therefore, should be a good locality for modeling trace element vriation in a closed system. Previous studios (Haskin and Haskin, 1968; Faster et al., 1974), however, have suggested thats the rare earth elements in whole rocks and mineeral separates from the Intrusion did not fellow the expected trend for closed system crystatllization. Trace element modeling using published distribution coefficients, modal abundances of the coexisting minerals, and the concentration of trace elements In whole rocks and mineral separates from the Skaergaard Intrusion, reveals that the rare earth elements were significantly Influenced by the crystallization of abundant apatite in the Layered Series suring the final stages of crystallization. The results of trace element modeling also suggcsts that apatite, which appears sporadically in the UBS, is not a primary liquidus phase in these samples as previously suggested (Naslund, 1984) but an interstitial phase that (lid not directly effect trace element abundances In the evolving magma As the Skaergaard magma coaled convection, or convected as small Isolated cells during the final stages of differentiation, an elebated $P_{H2O}$ Induced by accumulation of volatile elements near the roof of the magma chamber ingibited or delayed the precipitation of primary apatite in the UBS If the Skaergaard differentiation Is modeler assuming primary apatite crystallization In the upper par of the LS where abundant modal apatite is present, and only late stage crystallization of apatite In the UBS where apatite Is less abundant, rare earth elements abundances follow a closed system variation trend. These results rule but any differentiation model for the Skaergaard Intrusion that Includesvolumetrically significant injections or discharges of magma Into or out of the chamber during the final 20% of the crystallization history.

Skaergaard 암체는 광범한 in situ 화성분화작용을 격은 층상관입암의 대표적인 예로 널리 알려져 있다. 따라서 이 암체는 폐쇄계에서 미량원소변이를 modeling 할 수 있는 적지가 될 것이다. 그러나, 기존의 연구에 의하면 본 암체의 전암 및 광물의 회토류는 폐쇄계로서의 예상된 경향을 보이지 않는다(Haskin and Haskin, 1968; Paster et al., 1974). 발표된 분배계수, 공존광물들의 mode,그리고 전암 및 광물의 미량원소함량을 사용한 미량원소modeling에 의하면 Skaergaard 암체의 희토류는 분화후기에 일어난 광범한 인회석 결정작용에 크게 영향을 받았음을 보여준다. 미량원소modeling은 Upper Border Series에서 간헐적으로 나타나는 인회석이 기존에 주장되어 온 바와 같은 liquldus상이 아니라 진화하는 magma의 미량원소함량에는 영향을 끼칠 수 없는 interstitial phase임을 시사한다. 분화작용 말기에 Skaerganrd 마그마가 대류를 멈추거나 소규모로 대류를 할 때, 마그마 암장의 상부에 축적되는 휘발성분에 기인한 증가된 $PH_2$O가 인회석이 UBS에서 정출 되는 것을 방해하였을 것이다. 이와 같은 인회석의 특성을 고려해서 Skaergaard분화작용을 modeling하면 희토류는 폐쇄계로서의 예상된 경향을 따른다 이와 같은 결과는 최종 20% 분화작용기간 중에 양적으로 상당한 양의 마그마의 주입이나 분출을 수반하는 그 어떤 Skaergaard 암체의 분화model도 배격한다.
