The studied mid-ocean ridge basalts (MORBs) from the outer ridge flank (VT area) and a near-ridge seamount (VM area) reveal that they are moderately phyric plagioclase basalts composed of plagioclase (phenocryst [An60-90] and groundmass [An35-79]), olivine (Fo81-88), diopside (Wo45-51, En25-37, Fs14-24), and titanomagnetite (FeOt -63.75 wt% and TiO2 -22.69 wt%). The wholerock composition of these basalts has similar Mg# [mole Mg/mole(Mg+Fe2+)] (VT basalt: -0.56-0.58; VM basalt: -0.57), but differ in their total alkali content (VT basalt: -2.65; VM basalt: -3.24). The bulk composition of the magma was gradually depleted in MgO and enriched in FeOt, TiO2, P2O5, and Na2O with progressive fractionation, the basalts were gradually enriched in Y and Zr and depleted in Ni and Cr. In addition, the ∑REE of magma also increased with fractionation, without any change in the (La/ Yb)N value. Glass from the VM seamount shows more fractionated characters (Mg#: 0.56-0.57) compared to the outer ridge flank lava of the VT area (Mg#: 0.63-0.65). This study concludes that present basalts experienced low-pressure crystallization at a relatively shallow depth. The geochemical changes in the NCIR magmas resulted from fractional crystallization at a shallow depth. As a consequence, spinel was the first mineral to crystallize at a pressure 〉10 kbar, followed by Fe-rich olivine at 〈10 kbar pressure.展开更多
