本文針對澎湖鹼性玄武岩及玄武質集塊岩內31件包體進行分析,這些包體可分為二輝粒變岩和含斜長石輝石岩兩大類,並具有層狀堆晶或粒狀至粒狀變晶的岩石組織。二輝粒變岩包體是由斜輝石、直輝石和斜長石,以及少量的橄欖石、鉀長石和鈦鐵氧化物等礦物所組成,它們具有基性(SiO_2介於47 wt.%至52 wt.%之間)但全岩化學成分並不均質,且輕稀土元素中度富集((La/Yb)_N = 4.00-10.86)的特徵。此類包體之主要及微量元素含量和鍶—釹同位素比值(^(87)Sr/^(86)Sr = 0.703678-0.704251;^(143)Nd/^(144)Nd = 0.512858-0.512948)與晚新生代華南玄武岩者類似,因此,筆者認為它是由底附玄武質岩漿經結晶、變質作用所形成。含斜長石輝石岩包體是由斜輝石、斜長石、填隙型角閃石、石榴子石和(或)不透明礦物所組成,它比二輝粒變岩包體有較低的SiO_2(40-44 wt.%)、輕稀土元素((La/Yb)_N = 0.49-1.57)和較高的Al_2O_3含量,成分上與矽質苦橄岩相近。含斜長石輝石岩因組成礦物之間沒有達到同位素平衡,研判這些礦物是從不同熔體相結晶而來,它們可能是在正發生結晶分化和交換填補作用下的岩漿庫裡晶出,或是在岩脈系統中逐次結晶的產物,隨後再與富含揮發性熔體晶出之填隙型角閃石一起膠結的結果。由於兩類包體之鍶—釹同位素比值(含斜長石輝石岩之^(87)Sr/^(86)Sr = 0.704438-0.704655;^(143)Nd/^(144)Nd = 0.512914-0.513182)有明顯的差異,顯示兩者並無成因關係。二輝粒變岩包體以二輝地溫計算出平衡溫度為802-973℃,而含斜長石輝石岩用斜輝石-石榴子石地溫計求得平衡溫度為1006-1158℃。根據鍾孫霖(1990)推演之澎湖古地溫研判,前者係源自下部地殼(相當深度約20-32公里),後者依照斜輝石-石榴子石-斜長石地壓計算出平衡壓力為8.44-11.72 Kb,是來自30-42公里的上部地函。
31 xenoliths collected from Penghu alkali basalts and basaltic pyroclastic rocks were analyzed. These xenoliths include two-pyroxene granulites and plagioclase-bearing pyroxenites, with textures ranging from meta-igneous cumulates to metamorphic granular. Granulites have mineral assemblages of clinopyroxene, orthopyroxene and plagioclase, with accessory olivine, alkali feldspar and Ti-Fe oxide minerals. These xenoliths are basic (SiO_2 = 47-52 wt.%) but heterogeneous in bulk chemical compositions, with mild LREE ((La/Yb)_N = 4.00-10.86) enrichment. Major- and trace elements and Sr-Nd isotopic ratios (^(87)Sr/^(86)Sr = 0.703678-0.704251; ^(143)Nd/^(144)Nd = 0.512858-0.512948) of the granulite resemble those of late Cenozoic SE China basalts and it is suggested that this xenolith was formed by the crystallization and metamorphism of the underplated basaltic melt. Plagioclase-bearing pyroxenites xenoliths contain clinopyroxene, plagioclase, interstitial amphibole, garnet and/or opaque minerals. They have low SiO_2 (40-44 wt.%), LREE ((La/Yb)_N = 0.49-1.57) and high Al_2O_3 relative to granulite xenoliths, and compositionally are similar to tholeiitic picrites. Because there is no isotopic equilibrium among the constituent minerals of plagioclase-bearing pyroxenite, it is suggested that the minerals crystallised from different melt phases, possibly in a magma chamber undergoing fractionation and recharge or by progressive crystallisation in a vein system. The plagioclase-bearing pyroxenite thus formed was then subsequently fragmented and/or re-cemented by a subsequent volatile bearing-melt which crystallised the interstitial amphibole. Isotopic differences between two-pyroxene granulite and plagioclase-bearing pyroxenite (^(87)Sr/^(86)Sr = 0.704438-0.704655; ^(143)Nd/^(144)Nd = 0.512914-0.513182) indicate these two types of xenoliths are not cogenetic. Thermobarometric studies suggested that the two-pyroxene granulites yielded 2-pyroxene temperatures in the range of 802-973℃, whereas the plagioclase-bearing pyroxenites gave clinopyroxene-garnet temperatures of 1006-1158℃. These temperatures indicate that the studied two-pyroxene granulite xenoliths were derived from the lower crust (depths of ca. 20-32 km) on the basis of the Penghu geotherm suggested by Chung (1990). Based on garnet-clinopyroxene-plagioclase barometer the plagioclase-bearing pyroxenites equilibration pressures were estimated around 8.44-11.72 kbar (depths of ca. 30-42 km), well within the upper mantle.
