To reveal the petrogenesis of rhyolite from the southwestern Okinawa Trough, the mineral chemistry of plagioclase, orthopyroxene, amphibole, quartz and Fe-Ti oxide phenocrysts were analyzed using an electron microprobe, and in suit Sr and Ba contents of plagioclase analysed by LA-ICPMS were chosen for fingerprinting plagioclases of different provenances. Results indicate an overall homogeneous composition for each of the mineral phases except for plagioclase phenocrysts which have a wide range of composition(An=39~88). Plagioclase crystals characterized by An contents of >70 are not in equilibrium with their whole-rock compositions, and coarse-sieved plagioclase phenocryst interiors record high An contents(>70) and Sr/Ba ratios(>7), which are similar to the those of plagioclase crystals in basalt. Therefore, these crystals must have been introduced to the rhyolitic magma from a more mafic source. Equilibrium temperatures estimated using orthopyroxene-liquid, iron–titanium oxide, titanium-in-quartz and amphibole geothermometers show consistent values ranging from 792 to 869℃. The equilibrium pressure calculated using amphibole compositions is close to 121 MPa which corresponds to an approximate depth of 4 km. The fO_2 conditions estimated from Fe-Ti oxides and amphiboles plot slightly above the NNO buffer, which indicates that the rock formed under more oxidized conditions. Our results suggests that petrogenesis of the rhyolite due to basaltic magma ascend with the high An and Sr/Ba plaigoclases from deep magma chamber into the shallow chamber where the fractional crystallization and crustal assimilation happened. It also indicates that a two-layer magma chamber structure may occur under the southwestern Okinawa Trough.
对鄂霍次克海东南部OS03-1岩芯180 ka BP以来底栖有孔虫内生种Uvigerina spp.进行了稳定氧碳同位素分析，发现了112-109 ka BP（Ⅵ），102-90 ka BP（Ⅴ），85-76 ka BP（Ⅳ），57-54 ka BP（Ⅲ），44-40 ka BP（Ⅱ）和17-10 ka BP（Ⅰ）的6次δ13C轻值事件，其中发生于102-90 ka BP的轻值事件Ⅴ中的δ^13C降幅最大，达到了2.5‰，其他事件中均达到1‰以上. 研究认为，这些δ13C轻值事件可能由表层生产力增高、鄂霍次克海中层水形成减弱、最低含氧带加强等因素共同引起. 古菌生物标志物结果表明，这些δ^13C轻值事件没有受到天然气水合物分解和甲烷气体释放的影响.
