Abstract
Small volumes of felsic melt, commonly known as oceanic plagiogranites, appear as melt pockets or dikes within the gabbroic section and the sheeted dikes root zone of the oceanic crust. Plagiogranites from the Troodos Ophiolite Complex on Cyprus are among the best exposures of felsic rocks that are embedded in a complete section of obducted oceanic lithosphere. Nevertheless, their exact petrogenesis is still a matter of debate, largely due to limited high-quality trace element and radiogenic isotope data. Previously proposed models for Troodos plagiogranites have included both low-pressure dehydration melting and fractional crystallisation at deeper levels of the oceanic crust. To evaluate both models, oceanic plagiogranites from the Troodos Ophiolite Complex were analysed in this study for their major and trace elements, and for the first time also for Hf–Nd–Sr isotope compositions. The trace element measurements also include for the first time high-precision measurements of high-field-strength element (HFSE) abundances that now permit to better unravel the petrogenesis of the Troodos plagiogranites and their possible mantle sources. In general, the Troodos plagiogranites exhibit a narrow range of Nb/Ta and Zr/Hf that overlap the compositions of mid-ocean ridge basalts (MORB). In line with earlier studies, three compositional groups can be identified: two groups formed by either fractional crystallisation or combined fractional crystallisation and wall rock assimilation, and one group derived from partial melting of slightly altered oceanic crust. The majority of the Troodos plagiogranites (Main Group) are the product of extensive fractional crystallisation of ambient arc-tholeiitic mafic melts. A second group of plagiogranites (Spilia Group) is generated by fractional crystallisation of boninitic precursor melts and the assimilation of arc-tholeiitic crustal material. Variable HFSE concentrations and diagnostic Hf–Nd isotope signatures that are unique to both suites allow discriminating between the two parental melts and fractionation processes. A small group of plagiogranites (Zoopigi Group) is interpreted to derive from partial melting in the conductive layer of active magma chamber lenses (AML). Elevated Nb/Ta, Zr/Hf, and light rare-earth element (LREE) enrichments in these rocks are in support of this model. Collectively, our data suggest that low-pressure fractional crystallisation (also in combination with assimilation of wall rocks) might be the predominant process controlling the formation of felsic rocks on Cyprus, whereas dehydration melting appears to be less important. If compared to Archean tonalitic–trondhjemitic–granodioritic suites (TTGs), compositions of plagiogranites from Cyprus mirror shallow-level processes in thin oceanic crust, which is illustrated by their narrow, MORB-like range of HFSE ratios and their distinct enrichment in heavy rare-earth elements (HREE) that distinguishes them from the Archean TTGs.
