Lamprophyres and Ultrabasic Rocks

A. Lamprophyre B. Melilite-rich rocks C. Carbonatites D. Kimberlite E. Peridotite

A. Lamprophyre
Lamprophyre : merupakan istilah yang digunakan untuk menyebut suatu kelompok batuan beku basic-ultrabasic, berwarna gelap, yang pada umumnya terbentuk pada dyke dangkal. Umumnya kaya akan unsur alkali dan ferromagnesian. Ciri utamanya adalah tekstur, dimana sebagian besar lamprophyre bertekstur porfiritik (fenokris biotit, amphibole, augit dan groundmass feldspar). Baik fenokris maupun groundmass berbentuk euhedral (oleh beberapa ahli disebut tekstur panidiomorfik).

 Ada 2 kelompok lamprophyre : a. Calcalkaline(biotite and hornblenda lamprophyre) b. Alkaline (ultrabasic lamprophyre) a. CALKALKALINE SiO2 content : 50%-54% Colour Index : 35-50 Mineralogi : biotite, green-brown hornblende, diopsidic augite, feldspar, with or without quartz or altered olivine.

 Anggota : i. Biotite lamprophyre a.minette (biotit, orthoklas) b.kersantite(biotit,plagioklas) ii. Hornblende lamprophyre a.vogesite(hornblenda,orthoklas) b.spessartite(hornblenda, plagioclas)

 b. Alkaline lamprophyre - SiO2 content : 38-42% - Mineralogi : titaniferous augit, brown alkaline amphibole. Olivin + biotit sering hadir sebagai fenokris. - Anggota : i : camptonite (groundmass : plagioclase) ii: monchiquites (groundmass :glass)

B. MELILITIC ROCK
i. Alnoites SiO2 content :<25% Asosiasi :nepheline syenite, ijolite Mineralogi : fenokris biotit (with or without olivine) in groundmass of melilite, carbonate, perovskite ii. Melilites SiO2 content : 30-35% Volcanic rock, with abundant of melilite and olivine, but lack of feldspar.

C. CARBONATITES
- Merupakan batuan beku yang terutama tersusun olehlebih dari 50% mineral karbonat (calcite, dolomite, ankerite) - Umumnya terbentuk sebagai small plugs pada kompleks intrusi alkalin, atau sebagai dyke, sill, breccia dan vein. - Umumnya terdapat pada continental rift zone tectonic setting. - Asosiasi : with basic or ultrabasic alkaline rock (ijolite and alkaline pyroxenite) - Mineralogi : calcite, dolomite, ankerite, with biotite, olivine, alkali feldspar, sodic pyroxene

D. Kimberlites

 Kimberlite is a gas-rich, potassic ultramafic igneous rock that contains the minerals olivine, phlogopite, diopside, serpentine, calcite, and minor amounts of apatite, magnetite, chromite, garnet, diamond, and other upper mantle minerals. Upper mantle xenoliths are found in some kimberlite and provide clues to the magma's origin. The source depth for kimberlite magmas is estimated at 200 km, more than twice as deep as the source region for most magmas. at depth of 200 km the pressure is 60.000 times greater than the surface and the temperature is about 1500 C. Kimberlite magmas are rich in carbon dioxide and water which brings the magma quickly and violently to the surface. Kimberlite was named for the rock associated with diamonds in Kimberley, South Africa.

E. Peridotite and allied rock

i. Peridotite Umumnya bertekstur holocrystalin, anhedral-granular, medium to coarse grain. Mineralogi : olivin, pyroxene (enstatite and diposidic augite),with plagioclase, hornblende, biotite, garnet. Peridotit biasanya dijumpai dalam sekuen OPHIOLITE. Ophiolite merupakan suatu seri batuan kerak samudra yang muncul ke permukaan karena spreading.

ii. Dunite - Tersusun oleh olivin

iii. Pyroxene peridotit - Wehrlite : olivine and diposidic augite (3:1) assesori : enstatite, picotite, chromite, hornblende - Harzburgite : magnesian olivine and orthopyroxene (enstatite, bronzite). Asesori : chromite, irontitanium oxide, diopsidic augit, calcic plagioclas - Lherzolite :Lherzolites contain over 60% olivine, and some clinopyroxene and orthopyroxene. Lherzolite is a major constituent of the mantle and the source of most basaltic magmas.

4. FELDSPATHOIDAL FELSIC ROCK

A. Volcanic Division : Phonolite Family
It consists mainly of nepheline and alkali feldspar (sanidine or anorthoclase). Other minerals occuring in phonolite are sodapyroxenes, soda-amphiboles, leucite, alcime and sodalite-group minerals (sodalite, nosean, hauyne). It is the volcanic equivalent of nepheline syenite.

 B. Plutonic Division : Feldspathoidal Syenite family - Intermediate SiO2 content - Alkali feldspar & feldspathoid sebagai penyusun utama - Kaya unsur sodium (dalam feldspathoid berupa nephelin, analcime, sodalite, nosean, dalam sodic feldspar, dan mafic mineral :augit, aegirin)
