Abstract
We present experimental results on melting model basalt komatiite (ВК) and enstatite chondrite (ЕСН) compositions at temperature T = 1300оС and hydrogen pressure РH₂ = 100 МПа. The experiments model interaction of Magma Ocean with the early Earth hydrogen atmosphere. The experiment products consist of silicate glasses (quenched melts) that are considerably depleted in FeO but enriched in lithophile oxides and H2O, and the iron phase with minor amounts of Si and O. Estimated equilibrium oxygen fugacity in the runs is approximately 2 log units below that of the Fe-FeO buffer. Calculations of fractional crystallization of the experimental melt demonstrate that the final products correspond to granodiorite consisted of two feldspars, clinopyroxene and quartz with minor biotite for the initial BK composition, and quatz-two feldspars-two mica granite for the initial ECH. It is shown that differentiation of the ЕСН may result in crystallization of zircon in a range T = 730–750оС. A model assuming interaction of magma ocean with a thick nebular hydrogen atmosphere with subsequent differentiation explains the formation of silica-rich water bearing melts by internal processes of planetary evolution, and does not invoke pre-conditioning of forming hydrated proto-crust. “The only thing we know for certain is that (Hadean Earth) produced and somehow preserved the mineral zircon (ZrSiO4).” (Harrison, 2009).
