“…Where these are present, troctolite is referred to as clinopyroxene oikocryst-bearing troctolite (see "Igneous petrology" in the "Methods" chapter [Gillis et al, 2014e]). Olivine is conspicuous by its absence as a chadacryst.…”

“…However, in many cases clinopyroxene appears as relatively large (0.5-2 cm diameter) subequant oikocrysts around which the plagioclase-defined foliation may be deflected. Figure F20 shows four examples over the full range of foliation strength observed in the core: isotropic, weak, moderate, and strong (as defined in "Structural geology" in the "Methods" chapter [Gillis et al, 2014e]). Figures F18B and F18C are close-up images of the strong plagioclase, olivine, and clinopyroxene foliation observed in Sample 345-U1415I-4R-1A, 35-38 cm (Piece 6).…”

“…Physical properties of gabbroic rock recovered in Hole U1415I were characterized through a series of measurements on whole-core sections, half-core sections, half-core pieces, and discrete samples as described in "Physical properties" in the "Methods" chapter (Gillis et al, 2014e). We measured gamma ray attenuation (GRA) density and magnetic susceptibility on the Whole-Round Multisensor Logger (WRMSL); natural gamma radiation (NGR) on the Natural Gamma Ray Logger (NGRL); point magnetic susceptibility, reflectance spectrophotometry, and colorimetry on the Section Half Multisensor Logger (SHMSL); and thermal conductivity, compressional wave velocity, density, and porosity on discrete samples.…”

After running a series of tests with color standards, we established that the measured chromaticity values a* and b* oscillated over time in an unpredictable manner (see "Physical properties" in the "Methods" chapter [Gillis et al, 2014e]).

Samples of peridotites and pyroxenites from the mantle and lower crustal sections of the Leka Ophiolite Complex (LOC; Norway) are examined to investigate the effects of melt-rock reaction and oxygen fugacity variations in the sub-arc oceanic lithosphere. The LOC is considered to represent supra-subduction zone (SSZ) oceanic lithosphere, but also preserves evidence of pre-SSZ magmatic processes. Here we combine field and microstructural observations with mineral chemical and structural analyses of different minerals from the major lithologies of the LOC. Wehrlite and websterite bodies in both the mantle and lower crust contain clinopyroxene likely formed at a pre-SSZ stage, characterised by high Al, high Cr, low Mg crystal cores. These clinopyroxenes also exhibit low Al, low Cr, high Mg outer rims and intracrystalline dissolution surfaces, indicative of reactive melt percolation during intrusion and disruption of these lithologies by later, SSZ-related, dunite-forming magmas. Chromian-spinel compositional variations correlate with lithology; dunite-chromitite Cr-spinels are characterised by relatively uniform and high TiO2 and Al2O3, indicating formation by melt-rock reaction associated with SSZ processes. Harzburgite Cr-spinel compositions are more variable but preserve a relatively high Al2O3, low TiO2 endmember that may reflect crystallisation in a pre-SSZ oceanic spreading centre setting. An important finding of this study is that the LOC potentially preserves the petrological signature of a transition between oceanic spreading centre processes and subsequent supra-subduction zone magmatism. Single crystal Cr-spinel Fe3+/ΣFe ratios calculated on the basis of stoichiometry (from electron microprobe [EPMA] and crystal structural [X-ray diffraction; XRD] measurements) correlate variably with those calculated by point-source (single crystal) Mössbauer spectroscopy. Average sample EPMA Fe3+/ΣFe ratios overestimate or underestimate the Mössbauer-derived values for harzburgites, and always overestimate the Mössbauer Fe3+/ΣFe ratios for dunites and chromitites. The highest Fe3+/ΣFe ratios, irrespective of method of measurement, are therefore generally associated with dunites and chromitites, and yield calculated log(fO2)FMQ values of up to ~+1.8. While this lends support to the formation of the dunites and chromitites during SSZ-related melt percolation in the lower part of the LOC, it also suggests that these melts were not highly oxidised, compared to typical arc basalts (fO2FMQ of >+2). This may in turn reflect the early (forearc) stage of subduction zone activity preserved by the LOC and implies that some of the arc tholeiitic and boninitic lava compositions preserved in the upper portion of the ophiolite are not genetically related to the mantle and lower crustal rocks, against which they exhibit tectonic contacts. Our new data also have implications for the use of ophiolite chromitites as recorders of mantle oxidation state through time; a global comparison suggests that the Fe3+/ΣFe signatures of ophiolite chromitites are likely to have more to do with local environmental petrogenetic conditions in sub-arc systems than large length-scale mantle chemical evolution.
