abstract = {This study is aimed to evaluate the role played by the sulfur radical ions (S3− and S2−) and molecular sulfur (S0) on sulfur isotope fractionation and to investigate if these species may leave an isotope fingerprint in hydrothermal systems. For this purpose, we combined (i) experiments using a hydrothermal reactor with aqueous S3−(S2−)-S0-sulfate-sulfide fluids and pyrite across a wide range of temperatures (300--450 textdegreeC), pressures (300--800 bars), fluid acidity (4 \< pH \< 8) and with elevated total sulfur concentrations (0.1--1.0 mol/kg fluid) favorable for formation of those polymeric sulfur species, (ii) precise quadruple S isotope analyses of the different S-bearing aqueous species in sampled fluids and in-situ precipitated pyrite, and (iii) thermodynamic modeling of sulfur aqueous speciation and solubility. Our results quantitatively confirm both equilibrium and kinetic SO4-H2S and pyrite-H2S mass dependent fractionation (MDF) factors previously established using extensive experimental and natural data from more dilute fluids in which polymeric sulfur species are negligible. MDF signatures of S0 measured in the sampled fluids of this study reveal different S0-forming pathways such as (i) breakdown on cooling of S3− (and S2−) and other chain-like S0 polymers only stable at high temperature and being isotopically identical to H2S; (ii) cyclooctasulfur (S80, liquid or solid) precipitating by recombination of sulfate and sulfide and/or by exchange with polysulfide dianions (Sn2−) on cooling and being slightly 34S-enriched compared to H2S (by �`u2texttenthousand of $delta$34S); and iii) a different type of S0 resulting from thiosulfate irreversible breakdown and being highly 34S-depleted (by �`u12texttenthousand) relative to H2S.

This study is aimed to evaluate the role played by the sulfur radical ions (S3− and S2−) and molecular sulfur (S0) on sulfur isotope fractionation and to investigate if these species may leave an isotope fingerprint in hydrothermal systems. For this purpose, we combined (i) experiments using a hydrothermal reactor with aqueous S3−(S2−)-S0-sulfate-sulfide fluids and pyrite across a wide range of temperatures (300--450 textdegreeC), pressures (300--800 bars), fluid acidity (4 < pH < 8) and with elevated total sulfur concentrations (0.1--1.0 mol/kg fluid) favorable for formation of those polymeric sulfur species, (ii) precise quadruple S isotope analyses of the different S-bearing aqueous species in sampled fluids and in-situ precipitated pyrite, and (iii) thermodynamic modeling of sulfur aqueous speciation and solubility. Our results quantitatively confirm both equilibrium and kinetic SO4-H2S and pyrite-H2S mass dependent fractionation (MDF) factors previously established using extensive experimental and natural data from more dilute fluids in which polymeric sulfur species are negligible. MDF signatures of S0 measured in the sampled fluids of this study reveal different S0-forming pathways such as (i) breakdown on cooling of S3− (and S2−) and other chain-like S0 polymers only stable at high temperature and being isotopically identical to H2S; (ii) cyclooctasulfur (S80, liquid or solid) precipitating by recombination of sulfate and sulfide and/or by exchange with polysulfide dianions (Sn2−) on cooling and being slightly 34S-enriched compared to H2S (by �`u2texttenthousand of $delta$34S); and iii) a different type of S0 resulting from thiosulfate irreversible breakdown and being highly 34S-depleted (by �`u12texttenthousand) relative to H2S. Our data do not show any significant mass independent fractionation (MIF) of 33S and 36S, with $Delta$33S and $Delta$36S values of any S aqueous species and pyrite being within textpm0.1texttenthousand and textpm1.0texttenthousand, respectively. Therefore, under the investigated experimental conditions, the radical S3− ion is unlikely to generate significant MIF in the hydrothermal fluid phase and in pyrite and native sulfur precipitated therefrom.

We tentatively considered hydrothermal accumulations of sulfur (elemental, sulfate and sulfide) in the volcanic conduit responsible for local contamination and oversaturation of the Tolbachik magma in sulfur and related sulfide immiscibility. Coexisting sulfide and sulfate can be also interpreted in favor of the magmatic sulfide oxidation and related generation of S-rich fluids. Such fluids are expected to accumulate metals releasedfrom decomposed sulfide melts and supply significant epithermal mineralization, including native gold. |

Furthermore, heated olivines still bear inclusions containing up to 7.2wt.% of Na2O. Olivines are thought to form at temperatures at which Na is volatile. This implies that (1) Na from glass inclusions cannot come from condensation but rather results from trapping in a Na-rich environment, which implies a high pressure, as in a melting planetasimal (2) there may be two distinct origins for the sodium: an indigenous origin for the sodium trapped inside glass inclusions and a gaseous origin for the sodium recorded in mesostasis from chondrules. Consequently, these results are in favor of a planetesimal origin for olivine from chondrules. |

abstract = {Chemical and isotopic compositions of magmatic crystals provide important information to distinguish between deep juvenile and crustal contributions. In this work, high-resolution multicollector secondary ion mass spectrometry data reveal strong variations of d18O values in three plagioclase crystals (800--1700 lm) from two representative basaltic andesite samples of the 2010 Merapi eruption (Central Java, Indonesia). The d18O values (from 4.6texttenthousand to 7.9texttenthousand) are interpreted to reflect oxygen isotope heterogeneity in the melt composition during plagioclase growth. The lowest d18O values (4.6--6.6texttenthousand) are found in anorthite-rich cores (An82--97), whereas higher d18O values (5.7--7.9texttenthousand) are found in anorthite-poorer zones (An33--86), typically in crystal rims. Combining these new plagioclase d18O data with d18O of calc-silicate crustal xenoliths erupted between 1994 and 1998, the composition of glass inclusions hosted by the anorthite-rich plagioclase (An82--92), available experimental data, and the results of thermodynamic modeling using the Magma Chamber Simulator code, we conclude that the abundant anorthite-rich cores crystallized from a mantle-derived hydrous basaltic to basaltic trachyandesite melt that recharged a deeper (200--600 MPa) magma storage zone, whereas lower anorthite zones crystallized at shallower levels (100--200 MPa). The oxygen isotope variations in the plagioclase are explained by a two-stage model of interaction of the hydrous, mafic mantlederived magma (1) with old crustal rocks depleted in 18O due to high temperature alteration that yielded the low d18O values in the anorthite-rich cores at deep levels (13--20 km), and later (2) with 18O-enriched carbonate material that yielded the high d18O values in anorthite-poorer zones at shallow levels (�`u4.5--9 km). Thermodynamic modeling is consistent with �`u18 wt.% assimilation of crustal calc-silicate material at 925--950 textdegreeC and 100--200 MPa by the 2010 Merapi basaltic andesite magma prior to eruption. Timescales for plagioclase phenocryst growth and residence in the magmatic plumbing system are 634 years. The combined data thus reveal efficient magma recharge and crustal assimilation processes that characterize the open-system magma storage and transport systems associated with the 2010 Merapi eruption.},

In this work, high-resolution multicollector secondary ion mass spectrometry data reveal strong variations of d18O values in three plagioclase crystals (800--1700 lm) from two representative basaltic andesite samples of the 2010 Merapi eruption (Central Java, Indonesia). The d18O values (from 4.6texttenthousand to 7.9texttenthousand) are interpreted to reflect oxygen isotope heterogeneity in the melt composition during plagioclase growth. The lowest d18O values (4.6--6.6texttenthousand) are found in anorthite-rich cores (An82--97), whereas higher d18O values (5.7--7.9texttenthousand) are found in anorthite-poorer zones (An33--86), typically in crystal rims. Combining these new plagioclase d18O data with d18O of calc-silicate crustal xenoliths erupted between 1994 and 1998, the composition of glass inclusions hosted by the anorthite-rich plagioclase (An82--92), available experimental data, and the results of thermodynamic modeling using the Magma Chamber Simulator code, we conclude that the abundant anorthite-rich cores crystallized from a mantle-derived hydrous basaltic to basaltic trachyandesite melt that recharged a deeper (200--600 MPa) magma storage zone, whereas lower anorthite zones crystallized at shallower levels (100--200 MPa). The oxygen isotope variations in the plagioclase are explained by a two-stage model of interaction of the hydrous, mafic mantlederived magma (1) with old crustal rocks depleted in 18O due to high temperature alteration that yielded the low d18O values in the anorthite-rich cores at deep levels (13--20 km), and later (2) with 18O-enriched carbonate material that yielded the high d18O values in anorthite-poorer zones at shallow levels (�`u4.5--9 km). Thermodynamic modeling is consistent with �`u18 wt.% assimilation of crustal calc-silicate material at 925--950 textdegreeC and 100--200 MPa by the 2010 Merapi basaltic andesite magma prior to eruption. Timescales for plagioclase phenocryst growth and residence in the magmatic plumbing system are 634 years. The combined data thus reveal efficient magma recharge and crustal assimilation processes that characterize the open-system magma storage and transport systems associated with the 2010 Merapi eruption. |
