摘要

In order to better constrain the origin of volatile variability of mid ocean ridge basalt (MORB), we have performed crushing analyses on 33 fresh basaltic glasses. Most samples originate from the Southwest Indian ridge (i.e. 78-49°E, EDUL cruise, August 97), the Southeast Indian Ridge, the Central Indian Ridge and the Rodriguez Triple Junction. δ~(13)C and δ~(18)O of CO_2, δ~(15)N of N_2 together with C, N and Ar contents were determined. δ~(15)N values vary between -5.9‰ and +2.1‰ while δ~(13)C values range between -11.4 and -4.3‰. C/N_2 ratios vary by one order of magnitude (316-3900). Most N_2/Ar ratios fall within a narrow range of values (48-90) but four samples yield higher values up to 220. Overall, the data for δ~(13)C, δ~(18)O, δ~(15)N, C/N_2 and N_2/Ar are within the range of those previously reported for Pacific and Atlantic oceans. No volatile DUPL anomaly has been detected in the present study. The correlations between N_2/Ar, C/Ar and C/N_2 together with δ~(13)C and δ~(15)N show that major volatile signatures, including δ~(15)N, are more influenced by degassing-induced fractionation than by mantle heterogeneity and/or late atmospheric contamination. A two stage degassing model (a closed-system degassing followed by a Rayleigh distillation) can be used to explain the data set. This model gives initial Indian MORB values similar to those for the Atlantic and Pacific oceanic basalts δ~(13)C_0 ~ -4.5 ‰, δ~(15)N_0 ~-6.0‰, (C/N_2)_0 ~ 130, (C/Ar)_0 ~14 000 and (N_2/Ar)_0 ~ 110 and C_0 between 1100 and 5000 ppm C. This large range of possible initial carbon concentrations (due to the lack of constraints on the extent of degassing under closed-system conditions) results in a large range of mantle flux estimates (i.e. from 0.4 to 1.8 * 10~(13) mol/yr). The correlations induced by these degassing processes permit an estimation of the relative solubilities of C, N and Ar: S_C/S_(N_2) ~ 5 and S_(Ar)/S_(N_2) ~ 1.2 as well as an evaluation of the fractionation of nitrogen isotopes between the vesicles and the melt: Δ_n = -1.6‰. The present study proposes a coherent data set for volatile mantle fluxes with φ_C ~ 1.3 ± 0.1 * 10~2 φ_(N_2) ~ 1.4 ± 0.1 * 10~4 φ_(Ar) (molar).
