2 A case study: the nepheline basanite UT- 70489 from Bow Hill in Tasmania, Australia Previous work includes: An experimental study of liquidus phase equilibria to determine conditions of garnet lherzolite saturation (~2.7 GPa and 1200 °C with 4.5 % of dissolved H 2 O and 2 % of CO 2 ) A LAM-ICP-MS and electron micro-probe study of minor and trace element partitioning between peridotite minerals and the hydrous basanite melt A single-crystal X-ray and site refinement study of experimentally produced peridotite phases

3 Objectives To produce a comprehensive and self- consistent set of peridotite/melt partition coefficients that include volatile as well as non-volatile elements To apply these data to the problem of intraplate magma genesis

4 Materials and methods Piston-cylinder experiments at 1.0- 3.5 GPa and 1025-1190 °C using conventional methods H 2 O, C (as CO 2 ), Cl, F, P and S by secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS) at the Carnegie Institution of Washington. Major, minor and trace elements by electron microprobe and LAM- ICP-MS at Macquarie University, Australia.

15 Burnham’s speciation model for hydrous melts mixing between OH - and 8-oxygen melt units with K D = 0.0014

16 Silver et al.’s (1990) speciation model for hydrous melts mixing between OH -, molecular H 2 O and O 2- with D OH cpx/melt = 0.05 molecular H 2 O OH -

17 Melt activity relations as well as mineral composition play a role in the determination of mineral/melt (Nernst) partition coefficients for H 2 O

18 Comparisons with non-volatile elements There is a constancy of some volatile to non-volatile element ratios in intraplate (ocean island) and mid-ocean- ridge magmas H 2 O/Ce = 200 ± 50 (Michael 1995) o Higher ratios in Atlantic than Pacific, in some cases the correlation is better for La and/or varies with 87 Sr/ 86 Sr F/Nd Cl/Ba, Cl/K CO 2 /Nb, CO 2 /Ba Similar mineral/melt partition coefficients during intra-mantle fractionation involving the migration of small-degree melts from local MORB sources?

19 H2OH2O F Cl Cl and F partitioning data from Dalou et al. (2012) Garnet lherzolite/melt Partition coefficients

20 Crystal-chemical controls on D H2O /D Ce Must also consider the contributing influence of H 2 O concentrations in melts (significant for subduction zones)

21 Conclusions During peridotite melting D H2O /D Ce increases with increasing pressure and temperature (and therefore depth in the mantle), but decreases with increasing melt H 2 O Therefore - although coupled volatile and non-volatile element enrichments in OIB are consistent with peridotite/melt partitioning, this may require particular circumstances
