Jadeitites and plate tectonics

Abstract

Jadeitite is a relatively rare, very tough rock composed predominantly of jadeite and typically found associated with tectonic blocks of high-pressure/low-temperature metabasaltic rocks (e.g., eclogite, blueschist) in exhumed serpentinite-matrix mélanges. Studies over the past ∼20 years have interpreted jadeitite either as the direct hydrous fluid precipitate from subduction channel dewatering into the overlying mantle wedge or as the metasomatic replacement by such fluids of oceanic plagiogranite, graywacke, or metabasite along the channel margin. Thus, jadeitites directly sample and record fluid transport in the subduction factory and provide a window into this geochemical process that is critical to a major process in the Earth system. They record the remarkable transport of large ion lithophile elements, such as Li, Ba, Sr, and Pb, as well as elements generally considered more refractory, such as U, Th, Zr, and Hf. Jadeitite is also the precious form of jade, utilized since antiquity in the form of tools, adornments, and symbols of prestige.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Jadeitites have long been recognized as diagnostic indicators of subduction.

    “As such, lithologies comprised of > 90% jadeite (jadeitite) have long been recognized as diagnostic indicators of subduction (cf.Harlow et al., 2015).”

  • Jadeitites form either as direct precipitates from hydrous fluid released from a subducted slab into the overlying mantle wedge, or as a metasomatic replacement of oceanic plagiogranite, graywacke, or metabasite along the channel margin.

    “Experimental petrology, petrography, and phase equilibrium modeling suggest that jadeitites form either as direct precipitates from hydrous fluid released from a subducted slab into the overlying mantle wedge, or as a metasomatic replacement of oceanic plagiogranite, graywacke, or metabasite along the channel margin (cf.Harlow et al., 2015 and references therein).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
