摘要

The behavior of platinum-group elements (PGE) in sulfide-undersaturated primitive magmas may be controlled by crystallization of either Cr-spinel, platinum-group minerals (PGM) or olivine. Evaluation of the PGM-hosted PGE portion is challenging because PGM in volcanic rocks are small and rare. We report on the sizes and compositions of PGM associated with Cr-spinel, the PGE content of Cr-spinel and olivine, and the bulk rock PGE content from sulfide undersaturated arc volcanics of the Tumrok range (Eastern Kamchatka). Platinum-iron and Ir-Os alloys (< 30 to > 3000 nm in size) form inclusions in Cr-spinel. Their presence and composition are mostly independent of Cr-spinel chemistry. Bulk rock PGE contents are erratic and PGE concentrations in Cr-spinel are exceptionally variable (up to 2 orders of magnitude). Whereas PGM inclusions in Cr-spinel and PGE in solid solution in Cr-spinel significantly contribute to the bulk rock PGE budget, a considerable portion of the PGE must be present associated with minerals other than Cr-spinel. The variable PGE content of the rocks is attributed to a combination of: (a) disequilibrium kinetic effects at the Cr-spinel–melt boundary layer, strongly affecting PGE partitioning into Cr-spinel and crystallization of PGM in the layer; (b) the presence of some sufficiently large PGM to cause nugget effects; and (c) melt degassing.
