The metaperidotites found in the Happo-O'ne region of central Japan are mostly lherzolites to harzburgites
with subordinate dunites. Their protoliths originated as a series of refractory residues by near-fractional
melting, 15–25% melting in the spinel field, which is confirmed by a HREE melting model of the apparently
primary clinopyroxene. These metaperidotites display U-shaped primitive mantle (PM)-normalized REE
patterns (0.02–0.5 times PM) and are highly enriched in LILE (0.2–20 times PM) relative to HFSE (b 0.2 times
PM), providing evidence for mantle-wedge metasomatism. In-situ analyses confirmed that clinopyroxenes
and tremolite are enriched in fluid-mobile elements (B, Sr, Pb, Li, Cs, Ba and Rb; 0.1–100 times PM) coupled
with depletion of HFSE (Ta, Hf, Th, Zr, Ti and Nb; b 0.7 times PM) + U; these chemical features of
clinopyroxenes and tremolite are similar to those of their whole rocks, and reflect slab-fluid metasomatism.
We recognized three stages of clinopyroxenes that are different in morphology and REE patterns, but show
the same major-element chemistry. Nearly euhedral clinopyroxene (Cpx1) displays a spoon-shaped REE
pattern (0.2–3 times PM), reflecting the first stage (stage 1) of metasomatism. Acicular clinopyroxene (Cpx2)
after tremolite +olivine shows a U-shaped REE pattern (0.06–1 times PM) (stage 2), whereas fine-grained
clinopyroxene (Cpx3) derived from orthopyroxene shows very low concentrations of REE (stage 3). These
three successive stages of retrogressive clinopyroxene formation possibly denote a retrogressive chemical
change of the involved fluids during multi-stage metasomatism. The fluid of stage 1 is highly enriched in
LREE (0.2–2 times PM), MREE, Pb, Sr, Li and Rb relative to the stage-3 fluid that is very low in MREE, Pb, LREE
and Sr, but has high Na, Mn, Ba, B and Cs. The stage-2 fluid, which is low in LREE (0.06–1 times PM), Li and
Pb, and very low in Cs, Rb and Hf relative to the fluid of stage 1, is considered to be a transitional fluid
between stages 1 and 3. The retrogressive change of the fluid composition is possibly equivalent to a
transversal change of the slab-derived fluid within the mantle wedge due to a change of metamorphic
condition, depth of the subducting slab and an episode of metasomatism during the exhumation of the
Happo-O'ne peridotites.

1. Introduction
The slab-derived components are thought to be H2O-rich melts or
aqueous fluids, which are the main metasomatic agents in the mantle
wedge (Bizimis et al., 2000; Kawamoto, 2006; Malaspina et al., 2006).
They would be aqueous fluids in cold subduction zones or partial
melts in warm subduction zones (Widom et al., 2003; Kawamoto,
2006). These fluids are expected to metasomatize the overlying
mantle-wedge peridotites by precipitating new phases as amphiboles,

phlogopite and clinohumite (e.g., Tatsumi et al., 1986; Peacock, 1990;
Bizimis et al., 2000), modify mantle-wedge peridotites, result in
partial melting in the supra-subduction zones, and recycle lithophile
elements back into the mantle wedge (Tatsumi, 1986; Plank and
Langmuir, 1993; Kessel et al., 2005; Malaspina et al., 2006).
Experimental results verified that the slab-derived fluids are depleted
in HFSE (high field-strength elements) and enriched in both LREE
(light rare earth elements) and LILE (large-ion-lithophile elements)
(Tatsumi et al., 1986; Kessel et al., 2005). Many recent studies have
confirmed that mantle-wedge peridotites hydrated by slab-released
fluids are depleted in HFSE relative to fluid-mobile elements (such as
LILE and LREE) (e.g., McCulloch and Gamble, 1991; Keppler, 1996;
Widom et al., 2003; Gaetani et al., 2003; Scambelluri et al., 2004;
Kessel et al., 2005; Savov et al., 2005, 2007; Scambelluri et al., 2006;
Marocchi et al., 2007; Khedr and Arai, 2009). The trace-element
440

characteristics reflect not only the type and nature of the metasomatic
agents, but also the chemical changes that take place during fluid/
melt–mantle rock interactions (Maury et al., 1992; Ayers, 1998).
Few studies, however, refer to changes in fluid compositions in the
mantle wedge. The composition of the slab-derived components
depends on the thermal structure of the slab–wedge interface and the
composition of the slab (Pearce and Parkinson, 1993). Savov et al.
(2005) reported the change in the slab-fluid compositions at greater
depths, while Zack and John (2007) found that the degree of change
depends on the amount of fluid–mineral surface interaction. Recently,
Marocchi et al. (2007) stated that the character of the fluid phase
changes with the changing metamorphic condition of the mantle
wedge.
The Happo-O'ne metaperidotites metasomatized by slab-released
fluids under low-T, high-P conditions are accompanied by the
formation of new metasomatic minerals such as secondary clinopyroxenes (Cpx2 and Cpx3), tremolite and chlorite. They have recorded
mineralogical and chemical signatures of metasomatic processes,
which resulted from chemical changes of the metamorphic fluids in
forearc regions. We recognized not only secondary clinopyroxenes,
but also the apparently primary Cpx1 that can be used in petrogenetic
modeling and in determining the degree of melt extraction and the
nature of melting condition (e.g., Johnson et al., 1990; Dick and
Natland, 1996; Hellebrand et al., 2001). The aim of this study is to
investigate the main type and origin of metasomatic agents, which are
possibly slab-derived fluids. What is the retrogressive chemical
change of these fluids? The retrogressive change of metasomatic
fluids imposed on the Happo-O'ne metaperidotite is possibly related
to a spatial difference of the slab-derived fluids, if we take its P–T
trajectory for the exhumation history into account (Khedr and Arai,
2010). We will discuss a wedge-transversal chemical change of slabderived fluids in this article. Also, the nature of partial melting and the
interaction between mantle rocks and slab fluids will be investigated
by using clinopyroxene generations.
2. Geological setting and petrography
The metaperidotites from the Happo-O'ne area, which is situated
in the northeastern part of the Hida marginal tectonic zone on Honshu
Island in central Japan, form a serpentinite mélange (Khedr and Arai,
2010 and references therein) (Fig. 1). In this area, blocks of coarsegrained garnet glaucophane schist, garnet epidote amphibolite, garnet
mica schist, metagabbro, eclogite and utramafic rock are included in a
serpentinite matrix (= serpentinite mélange) (Nakamizu et al., 1989;
Fig. 1. Geological map showing distribution of ultramafic rocks in different metamorphic mineral zones, the Happo-O'ne complex, central Japan (Nozaka, 2005 and references therein). Di,
diopside zone (olivine+ antigorite + diopside): Tr, tremolite zone (olivine + tremolite + orthopyroxene): Tlc, talc zone (olivine+ talc+ tremolite) (Nakamizu et al., 1989).
M.Z. Khedr et al. / Lithos 119 (2010) 439–456
Nozaka, 2005). Slices of mantle-wedge peridotites, which underwent
serpentinization and high-P, low-T metamorphism, have been
incorporated into the subduction complex (=the Renge metamorphic
rocks) during the exhumation of the Renge high-P/T metamorphic
rocks (Khedr and Arai, 2010). The Happo-O'ne metaperidotites from
the tremolite and diopside zones, which were subjected to retrogressive metamorphism, are accompanied by the formation of high-P,
low-T minerals and retrogressive textures during their exhumation
path (Khedr and Arai, 2010). They subsequently underwent prograde
metamorphism (talc zone) due to contact metamorphism around a
441
Cretaceous granitic intrusion, leading to the formation of talc
peridotite and peridotite hornfels (Fig. 1) (Nozaka, 2005). The field
observations show that the examined peridotites or serpentinized
equivalents have certainly travelled with the high-P metamorphic
rocks (Renge high-P/T schists) from some mantle depths. No
systematic field relations have been recognized between different
blocks because of the mélange nature (Nakamizu et al., 1989).
The petrographic observations verify that antigorite serpentinites
composed of antigorite (N65%) + olivine (b30%) + clinopyroxene
(b1%) + spinel (b4%) are restricted in a highly hydrated part of

the diopside zone (Fig. 2c). Whereas in a slightly hydrated part of this
zone, serpentinized peridotites (lherzolites–harzburgites) are dominant
rocks and composed of olivine (b50%) + clinopyroxene (b9%) +antigorite (N40%) + chlorite (b5%) + spinel (b4.5%) (Fig. 2a, b). Dunites
consisting of olivine (N60%) + clinopyroxene (b1%) + antigorite
(b30%) + chlorite (b6%) + opaque minerals (b4%) are scarce in the
diopside zone. The textural evidence indicates that clinopyroxenes
show two different morphologies (Fig. 2a, b); the apparently primary
clinopyroxene (Cpx1) occurs as euhedral (0.7–1.0 mm) (Fig. 2a, b) to
subhedral crystals (0.5–1.2 mm) and the secondary clinopyroxene
(Cpx2) occurs as a prismatic crystal, 0.05–1.0 mm in length, fibrous
shape (up to 2.5 mm), and/or a xenomorphic crystal (0.5–1.0 mm)
embedded mainly in antigorite. Most euhedral clinopyroxene (Cpx1)
crystals show magmatic twinning (Fig. 2a), and probably represent a
residual Cpx phase during partial melting. The Cpx1 is generally oblique
to the principal foliation (Fig. 2a, b). The prismatic or fibrous
clinopyroxene (Cpx2) without lamellae is enclosed mainly in antigorite
and/or associated with olivine (Fig. 2a–c), defining the rock foliation.
The Cpx2 is partially to entirely surrounding the Cpx1. Most of the
chromian spinel is altered to chlorite, or, less commonly, to ferritchromite and/or magnetite (Fig. 2f). Al spinel components have been
consumed to form low temperature Al-bearing minerals such as
chlorite.
The tremolite zone is characterized by a mineral assemblage, olivine
(N40%)+orthopyroxene (b12%)+tremolite (b11%)+chlorite (b8%)+
antigorite (b50%) + spinel (b4%) (= tremolite–chlorite peridotites)
(Fig. 2e). Details of the tremolite zone have been described by Khedr
and Arai (2010). Fine-grained clinopyroxene (Cpx3) (Fig. 2d) replaces
primary orthopyroxene (Opx) or occurs along Opx cleavage traces and
grain boundaries; it is probably derived from replacement of clinopyroxene lamellae within Opx. Neither chlorite clot as a pseudomorph
after garnet nor garnet relic is reported. Dunites of this zone include
primary chromian spinel.
3. Analytical and experimental methods
All selected metaperidotites for bulk-rock chemical analyses
were homogeneous, and lacked veins. Their powders were heated
up to 1000 °C to remove structural water before preparing fused
beads for major- and trace-element analyses. Major-element contents
(Table 1) were determined by an X-ray fluorescence (XRF) spectrometer (System-3270, Rigaku) at 50-kV accelerating voltage and
20-mA beam current at Kanazawa University on fused beads of the
rock powders (0.5 g) mixed with Li2B4O7 (5.0 g). Trace-element
contents (Table 1) were determined on fused beads of the rock
powders (0.3 g) mixed with Li2B4O7 (1.5 g) by laser-ablation (193 nm
ArF excimer: MicroLas GeoLas Q-plus)-inductively coupled plasma
mass spectrometry (Agilent 7500 S) (LA–ICP–MS) at Kanazawa
University. For all analyses, the laser-spot diameter was 153 μm at
5 Hz with an energy density of 8 J/cm2 per pulse. Details of the
analytical procedures have been described by Ishida et al. (2004) and
Morishita et al. (2005). For data calibration of LA–ICP–MS analysis,
NIST 612 glass was used as an external standard, assuming the
composition given by Pearce et al. (1997), and 29Si was used as an
internal standard based on SiO2 concentrations measured by XRF for
bulk rocks. Fused bead of JB-2 (GSJ reference material) was measured
for estimation of the analytical quality (Table 1). The reproducibility
is better than 5% for most elements, except Ta (low concentration)
for which it is better than 16%. The accuracy of measurements based on
JB-2 is acceptable and agrees with previous values in the literature
443
(Makishima and Nakamura, 1999) at the 78–105% confidence level with
the exception of Nb and Ta (b119%).
The major-element compositions of minerals from the Happo-O'ne
metaperidotites were determined by JEOL wavelength dispersive
electron probe X-ray micro-analyzer (JXA 8800) at Kanazawa
University. Accelerating voltage, beam current, and beam diameter
for the analyses were 20 kV, 20 nA, and 3 μm, respectively. Representative mineral compositions are reported in Table 2. Trace-element
abundances in silicates (olivine, orthopyroxene, tremolite, chlorite,
and clinopyroxenes) (Table 3) in the examined metaperidotites were
in-situ determined by LA–ICP–MS at Kanazawa University. Analyses
were performed by ablating 60-μm diameter spots for tremolite,
chlorite and pyroxenes, whereas the spot diameter for olivine was
100 μm. All analyses were performed at 6 Hz with an energy density of
8 J/cm2 per pulse. Calibration was carried out by the same procedures
as for the bulk-rock analyses; NIST 612 glass was used as an external
standard and 29Si was used as an internal standard based on SiO2
concentration obtained by the electron microprobe. NIST 614 glass
(secondary standard) was measured for quality control of each
analysis. Precision or reproducibility is better than 5% for most
elements, except Cr and Ni for which it is better than 10%. The
accuracy and data quality based on the reference material (NIST 614)
are high, and were described by Morishita et al. (2005).
Mg# is Mg/(Mg + total Fe) atomic ratio for bulk rocks and silicates,
and Mg/(Mg + Fe2+) atomic ratio in chromian spinel, calculated
assuming spinel stoichiometry. Cr# is Cr/(Cr + Al) atomic ratio.
4. Geochemical characteristics
4.1. Whole-rock compositions
The metaperidotites from the diopside zone, which were classified
based on the normative abundance of clinopyroxene (Niu, 1997)
(Table 1), are mainly serpentinized lherzolites to harzburgites with
subordinate dunites; their bulk-rock Mg# ranges from 0.89 to 0.92
and matches with that of their olivine (Mg#, 0.88–0.91) (Table 1).
Lherzolites to harzburgites are depleted in A12O3 (0.8–1.5 wt.%) and
CaO (0.6–1.9 wt.%) relative to fertile lherzolites (3 to 4 wt.% A12O3 and
CaO) from the Horoman peridotite complex (Takazawa et al., 2000).
The dunites are highly depleted in CaO (0.4–0.5 wt.%) and Al2O3 (0.7–
1.3 wt.%), and high in MgO (46–47 wt.%) (Table 1; Fig. 3).
Lherzolites to harzburgites (=tremolite–chlorite peridotites) from
the tremolite zone are slightly enriched in A12O3 (1.1–1.9 wt.%) and
CaO (0.4–2.4 wt.%) relative to those from the diopside zone (Table 1;
Fig. 3). The chemistry of these peridotites has been described in detail
by Khedr and Arai (2009).
We noticed that Sc, HREE, CaO and Al2O3 decrease systematically
as MgO increases, whereas Ni and Co show good positive trends with
MgO (Figs. 3 and 4). Further, some HFSE (i.e., Nb, Zr) (Fig. 4g, h) and
LILE (not shown here) exhibit no correlations with MgO. Total Fe as
Fe2O3 (7.0–10.8 wt.%) (Table 1) in most Happo-O'ne peridotite
samples is higher than that of the primitive mantle (PM) (Fig. 3e),
possibly reflecting Fe-enrichment during subduction-related metasomatism. Iron may be added to mantle-wedge peridotites by a soluterich hydrous fluid (Parkinson and Arculus, 1999).
The PM-normalized REE (rare earth elements) patterns are
portrayed in Fig. 5a, c. The Happo-O'ne metaperidotites display Ushaped REE patterns (0.02–0.5 times PM); their PM-normalized
multi-element patterns show high concentrations of LILE (0.2–20
times PM) with spikes at Pb, Cs, Sr and Ba, and are depleted in HFSE

(Ta, Hf, Zr, Nb, Ti and Th; b0.2 times PM). These metaperidotites are
similar in chemical features to peridotites from the Izu–Bonin–
Mariana (IBM) forearc (Parkinson and Pearce, 1998) and Mariana
forearc Conical Seamount (Savov et al., 2005) (Fig. 5b, d). Their Th, Ta,
Hf and U (below detection limits) are very low compared to those in
the Horoman and IBM peridotites. The studied metaperidotites show
high depletion in HFSE + U relative to chlorite harzburgites from SE
Spain (Garrido et al., 2005).
4.2. Mineral compositions
4.2.1. Major elements
Olivine from both diopside and tremolite zones has the same
major-element compositions, and has Fo88–Fo92 (Fo90, on average)
(Table 2). It is similar in chemistry and morphology to mantle olivine
in ordinary primary peridotites, and lies in the field of mantle olivine
(Khedr and Arai, 2010 and references therein). Clinopyroxenes in both
diopside and tremolite zones are diopside with high Mg#s (0.95–
0.98) and have low contents of Al2O3 (0.0–0.35 wt.%), Cr2O3 (0.0–
0.43 wt.%), TiO2 (0.0–0.1 wt.%) and Na2O (0.03–0.42 wt.%) (Table 2;
Fig. 6). They show a pronounced intra-grain chemical homogeneity as
a result of low-T equilibration. Clinopyroxene phases in both diopside
(Cpx1 and Cpx2) and tremolite zones (Cpx3) share the same majorelement composition, which is independent of grain morphology and
size, and mode of occurrence, except high MnO content in the Cpx3
(Fig. 6). All clinopyroxene types show low Al2O3 and Cr2O3 values
compared to the primary clinopyroxene from forearc peridotites (e.g.,
Ishii et al., 1992; Parkinson and Pearce, 1998; JunBing and ZhiGang,
2007; Murata et al., 2009) due to their low-T equilibration (b800 °C);
they lie mainly in the secondary clinopyroxene field (e.g., Kimball et
al., 1985; Peacock, 1987; Nozaka, 2005; JunBing and ZhiGang, 2007;
Murata et al., 2009) (Fig. 6). Orthopyroxene, found only in the
tremolite zone, has high Mg#s of 0.90–0.91 (Khedr and Arai, 2010).
Tremolite, found only in the tremolite zone, has a high Mg# (up to
0.97) and appreciable amounts of Al2O3 (up to 2.9 wt.%), Na2O (up to
3.0 wt.%) and Cr2O3 (up to 1.2 wt.%) (Khedr and Arai, 2010). Chlorite
in both diopside and tremolite zones falls mainly in the field of
penninite with an average Mg#, 0.95, but some Al rich chlorite is
clinochlore (Hey, 1954) (Table 2). Serpentine minerals in both diopside
and tremolite zones are mainly antigorite, confirmed by TG-DTA.
Antigorite exhibits a high Mg# (up to 0.98). (Table 2). Chromian spinel,
ferritchromite, and magnetite are recognized in both diopside and
tremolite zones. Ti-rich chromian spinel (Cr#s, 0.90–0.97; TiO2, 0.45–
5.7 wt.%) and primary chromian spinel with high Cr#, 0.72 (Table 2)
(Khedr and Arai, 2010) are restricted only in the tremolite zone. They
are absent in the diopside zone due to lack of orthopyroxene (host of
Ti-spinel) and severe hydration of this zone.
4.2.2. Trace elements
The PM-normalized REE and multi-element patterns of peridotitic
silicates from the diopside zone are portrayed in Fig. 7a, b.
Clinopyroxenes in serpentinized lherzolites–harzburgites from this
zone exhibit two different REE patterns. One is a spoon-shaped REE
pattern (0.2–3 times PM) (Fig. 7a), which is displayed by the
apparently primary clinopyroxene (Cpx1); the Cpx1 has high REE
concentrations, ΣREE = 5.4 to 12.7 ppm, CeN = 2.0–5.7 and YbN = 2.5–
7.7 (Table 3). Another is a U-shaped REE pattern (0.06–1 times PM)
(Fig. 7a) exhibited by the secondary clinopyroxene (Cpx2) with
moderate REE contents, ΣREE = 1.4–4.9 ppm, CeN = 0.4–3.2; YbN =
0.3–1.5. All clinopyroxene phases are enriched in fluid-mobile
elements (B, Sr, Pb, Li, Ba and LREE; 0.1–100 times PM) and depleted
in HFSE (Ta, Hf, Th, Zr, Ti and Nb; b0.7 times PM) + U, which are
mostly below detection limits (Table 3; Fig. 7b), similar to those in
their whole rock (Fig. 5b). Most of bulk-rock trace elements reside in
clinopyroxene phases that form up to 9% of the rocks. Olivine is nearly
free of MREE and LREE except La and Ce, and exhibits a spoon-shaped
445
REE pattern (Fig. 7a). Chlorite has very low HREE, which are below
detection limits (Table 3; Fig. 7a). However, both olivine and chlorite
are enriched in fluid-mobile elements (B, Pb, Cs, Li, Rb and Ba; 0.01–20
times PM) and transitional metals (Cr, V, Co, Ni and Sc; 0.001–25
times PM) relative to other elements, which are below detection
limits (Table 3; Fig. 7b).
The PM-normalized REE and multi-element patterns of metaperidotitic silicates from the tremolite zone (Fig. 7c, d) have been
described by Khedr and Arai (2009). Tremolite with a U-shaped REE
pattern is strongly enriched with fluid-mobile elements and Sc
relative to HFSE. The secondary clinopyroxene (Cpx3), nearly free
from MREE, is very low in trace-element concentrations (ΣREE = 0.4–
1.3 ppm) compared to coexisting tremolite (ΣREE = 4.4–8.0 ppm)
(Table 3). Tremolite and olivine are the main hosts of Li compared
with coexisting minerals such as the Cpx3 and chlorite. The studied
olivine shows positive spikes at Li (Fig. 7d) in agreement with Lienriched olivine in chlorite peridotites (Scambelluri et al., 2006;
Marocchi et al., 2007) infiltrated by slab-released fluids.
Moreover, the mass balance calculation based on in-situ analyses
(Table 3; Fig. 7) and volume% of peridotitic silicates (samples RT1,
2, 5) from the tremolite zone indicates that tremolite contributes
greatly for all trace elements to the whole-rock budget, while some
elements such as Co, Ni, B, Li and Pb are hosted by olivine. Chlorite
chiefly accounts for Cs, Cr, V, Nb and Ti enrichment, whereas the Cpx3
accounts for Ba and Sr enrichment in the bulk rocks. In addition, the
mass balance calculation of some samples (MM1, SG1, NK5, Kz3*)
from the diopside zone indicates that the primary Cpx1 and secondary
clinopyroxene (Cpx2) are the main host for all trace elements in their
rock, except elements hosted by olivine such as Co, Li, Ni, B and Zr.
Chlorite mainly serves as a host for Cs, Rb, Cr, V, Nb and Ti. In this
respect, we noticed that the calculated concentrations of Cs, Rb, Ba, Pb,
Sr, Ti and Cr are very low compared to the actual concentrations of
these elements in the bulk rocks (Table 1). This discrepancy is noted
because both Ti and Cr are hosted by Ti-rich chromian spinel, and LILE
(Cs, Rb, Ba, Sr and Pb) are possibly concentrated along grain
boundaries (e.g., Hiraga et al., 2004; Ishimaru et al., 2007).
5. Discussion
5.1. Metasomatism imposed on the Happo-O'ne peridotites
The Happo-O'ne metaperidotites from the tremolite zone are
stable at low-T (650–750 °C) and high-P (16–20 kbar) conditions,
whereas those from the diopside zone are stable at very low-T, from
400 to 600 °C, at P b 20 kbar (Khedr and Arai, 2010). The slab-fluid
metasomatism is associated with subduction of colder and older
oceanic crusts (Widom et al., 2003; Kawamoto, 2006), which is
similar to the oceanic slab represented by the metamorphic rocks of
the Happo-O'ne area (Tsujimori, 2002; Nozaka, 2005 and references
therein). Consequently, the oceanic-slab components in the study
area are probably aqueous fluids rather than melts. In addition, based
on field and petrographic observations, no textural evidence for
previous melt–rock interaction was recognized.
The Happo-O'ne metaperidotites display U-shaped REE patterns
and are extremely depleted in HFSE (Fig. 5) relative to LILE. They are
highly enriched in LILE (Cs, Pb, Ba, Sr and Rb), which can be
concentrated in low-T (700–800 °C) aqueous fluids that are derived
from the subducting slab (Kessel et al., 2005). Savov et al. (2005)
stated that forearc serpentinized peridotites from Mariana forearc
Conical Seamount with a U-shaped REE pattern are enriched in LILE
and highly depleted in U, Th and HFSE due to fluid metasomatism
from the subducting Pacific slab. Also, Downes (2001) reported that
peridotitic xenoliths (Massif Central, France) fluxed by subduction
fluids display U-shaped REE patterns and have negative anomalies at
Nb, Zr and Hf, but great enrichment in Rb and Ba. These features,
resembling those of the Happo-O'ne peridotites (Fig. 5), are related to
446

Fig. 3. Major oxides versus MgO variation diagrams for the bulk-rock chemistry of the Happo-O'ne metaperidotites from both diopside and tremolite zones, compared with Horoman
peridotites from Japan (Takazawa et al., 2000), Izu–Bonin–Mariana (IBM) forearc peridotites (Parkinson and Pearce, 1998), and chlorite harzburgites derived from breakdown of
antigorite serpentinites from SE Spain (Garrido et al., 2005). Note systematic correlations of oxides with MgO, reflecting partial melting between 15 and 25% by either isobaric batch
melting (broken line) or near-fractional polybaric melting (solid line) (e.g., Niu, 1997). This is consistent with partial melting degrees (15 to b30% melting) (b), assuming a fertile
lherzolite as a source (Ishiwatari, 1985 and references therein). Total Fe as Fe2O3 is higher than that of the primitive mantle (PM), suggesting Fe-enrichment during metasomatism;
also, Na enrichment is related to metasomatism. PM compositions are after McDonough and Frey (1989), McDonough and Sun (1995) and Niu (1997). The major-element
concentrations are recalculated to 100% on LOI-free basis.
mantle metasomatism by slab-derived fluids (e.g., Keppler, 1996;
Widom et al., 2003; Scambelluri et al., 2004; Savov et al., 2005, 2007;
Marocchi et al., 2007; Khedr and Arai, 2009). This result is consistent
with the presence of slab-derived fluid inclusions enriched in LREE
and LILE relative to HFSE within garnet peridotites from Dabie Shan
(Eastern China) (Malaspina et al., 2006, 2009). The depletion of HFSE
in the Happo-O'ne peridotites (Fig. 5) is possibly inherited from their
protoliths that were derived from the mantle wedge (Khedr and Arai,
2009). The chemical evidence indicates that the metasomatizing
agent is hydrous fluids rather than melts due to the inability of the
hydrous fluids to transport HFSE (e.g., Maury et al., 1992).
The Happo-O'ne metaperidotites show large spikes at Ba and Pb
(Fig. 5b, d), which are highly concentrated in slab-derived fluids
(McCulloch and Gamble, 1991). Also, they are depleted in U relative
to IBM forearc peridotites and depleted in HFSE + U relative to
chlorite harzburgites from SE Spain (Garrido et al., 2005). The
mobility of U is enhanced by the presence of chloride, fluoride and
carbonate (e.g., Keppler and Wyllie, 1990; Bailey and Ragnarsdottir,
1994) that may be low in content in the Happo-O'ne peridotites.
Further, the mobility of uranium depends on its oxidation state
(Tatsumi et al., 1986); U+ 4 is immobile and insoluble in water, but U+ 6
is mobile (Parkinson and Pearce, 1998; Niu, 2004). Kessel et al. (2005)
experimentally reported that aqueous fluids enriched in LILE + Pb at
low-T (700–800 °C) are depleted in U and Th relative to high-T fluids
or hydrous melts, and low-T aqueous fluids are not capable of
transporting U and Th from the slab (Hermann et al., 2006). We
think that the depletion of U and Th in the Happo-O'ne peridotites and
their minerals is possibly due to the limited mobility of these elements

Fig. 4. Conservative-trace elements (ppm) versus MgO (wt.%) variation diagrams for the bulk-rock chemistry of the Happo-O'ne metaperidotites. HREE, Sc, Co and Ni show
systematic correlations with MgO due to partial melting. Clear negative correlations of HREE and Sc versus MgO reflect partial melting in the spinel field. Symbols and fields of
Horoman peridotites, IBM forearc peridotites and chlorite harzburgites are the same as those of Fig. 3.
from the slab by high-P/low-T fluids and the low valence of U during
slab-fluid metasomatism.
The enrichment of fluid-mobile elements (B, Sr, Pb, Li, Ba and
LREE; up to 100 times PM), coupled with high depletion of HFSE (Ta,
Hf, Th, Zr, Ti and Nb; b0.7 times PM) + U (Fig. 7a, b) in clinopyroxene
generations in the Happo-O'ne metaperidotites, is attributed to the
addition of these elements from the subducting slab. These features
resemble those of clinopyroxene from SSZ peridotites affected by
slab-derived fluids (Bizimis et al., 2000; Choi et al., 2008). The high
depletion of Nb and Ta (HFSE), which are not easily transported by
fluids, is due to Al-poor nature of clinopyroxene in the Happo-O'ne

Zr, Nb, Ti and Th). Note Hf (b 0.04 ppm), Sm (b 0.04 ppm), and Ta (b0.01 ppm) are below detection limits. The studied metaperidotites are similar to peridotites from IBM forearc
(Parkinson and Pearce, 1998), Mariana forearc Conical Seamount (Savov et al., 2005) and Horoman complex, Japan (Takazawa et al., 2000), but differ from chlorite harzburgites from
SE Spain (Garrido et al., 2005). They represent residues of 15–25% melting from a PM source by using a HREE fractional melting model (Niu, 2004). Note c and d panels (tremolite

derived fluids (Baier et al., 2008). Ta is very low relative to Nb (Fig. 7b)
because of the relatively lower solubility of the former in fluids and
clinopyroxene than the latter (Baier et al., 2008). The Happo-O'ne
clinopyroxene generations are similar in fluid-mobile element
concentrations to clinopyroxene in forearc peridotites (Ishii et al.,
1992; Parkinson et al., 1992; Bizimis et al., 2000; Grégoire et al., 2001;
JunBing and ZhiGang, 2007) (Fig. 10). The apparently primary
clinopyroxene (Cpx1) is depleted in Ti and Zr because of the high
degree of melting and no addition of these elements from slab fluids
(e.g., Bizimis et al., 2000; Sepp and Kunzmann, 2001). Not only the
Cpx1 but also all coexisting major minerals are depleted in Ti and Zr;
this depletion of Ti and Zr reflects depletion in HFSE for the whole rock
(see Rampone et al., 1991). Orthopyroxene in the Happo-O'ne
peridotites is highly depleted in Ti and Zr (Fig. 7d), providing no
evidence for metasomatism by slab-derived melts.
Sr is high concentration in the examined clinopyroxene generations because of the secondary addition of Sr from slab-derived fluids;
this is consistent with high Sr content in peridotites (Alpe Arami)
metasomatized by slab fluids (Paquin and Altherr, 2002). In contrast
to the Happo-O'ne clinopyroxenes, metasomatic clinopyroxene
precipitated from or modified by slab-derived melts exhibits positive
spikes for U, Th, Zr, Hf and Ti (Grégoire et al., 2001; McInnes et al.,
2001; Malaspina et al., 2009).
Tremolite shows strong enrichment in fluid-mobile elements (B,
Cs, Sr, Pb and Li; 1–100 times PM) and Sc (3–8 times PM) relative to
HFSE (Ta, Zr, Nb, Hf, Th and Ti; b0.8 times PM) + U. This result is
consistent with chemical similarity between the Happo-O'ne peridotites and mantle-wedge peridotites (Ulten, Italy), which are metasomatized by fluids from the subducting slab (Marocchi et al., 2007;
Sapienza et al., 2009) (Fig. 7c, d). In general, high Sr, Pb, Li and U in
amphiboles are related to fluids (Scambelluri et al., 2006). Further,
other silicates such as olivine, orthopyroxene and chlorite are
enriched in LILE (e.g., B, Sr) + Li relative to HFSE (Table 3; Fig. 7)
due to slab-fluid metasomatism. This result is in agreement with high
Li, B and Sr contents, which resulted from fluids derived from the
subducting oceanic crust or serpentinized peridotites, in ultrahigh-P
peridotite minerals from Alpe Arami (Central Swiss Alps) (Paquin and
Altherr, 2002; Paquin et al., 2004). In summary, the textural and
chemical evidence indicate the involvement of metasomatic fluids
rather than melts.
5.2. Trace-element signatures of clinopyroxenes (Implication for partial
melting)
HREE in clinopyroxene, which are immobile during alteration,
are a useful tool in petrogenetic modeling and in determining the

secondary or retrograde clinopyroxene (Kimball et al., 1985; Peacock, 1987; Li et al., 2004; Nozaka, 2005; JunBing and ZhiGang, 2007; Murata et al., 2009) are used for comparison.
Note the Happo-O'ne clinopyroxene phases (Cpx1, Cpx2 and Cpx3) are low in Al and Cr and no differences in their major-element compositions, except high MnO content in
the Cpx3.

roxene in abyssal peridotites from the normal ridge segments
(Johnson et al., 1990; Johnson and Dick, 1992) to indicate characteristics of the Happo-O'ne clinopyroxenes. The Cpx1 lies mainly in the
field of clinopyroxene in abyssal peridotites except for its strong
enrichment of LREE (Fig. 8b), suggesting that the Happo-O'ne
metaperidotites represent residues of high degrees of partial melting
that have been refertilized by fluid metasomatism.
Elements Ti, Zr and HREE (i.e., Dy), which are relatively immobile
during an alteration process (Tatsumi et al., 1986; Kogiso et al., 1997;
Bizimis et al., 2000), are used to characterize clinopyroxenes in
metaperidotites from the Happo-O'ne complex (Fig. 9). All clinopyroxene phases lie in the compositional space of SSZ peridotites that
are affected by fluids. The apparently primary clinopyroxene underwent partial melting (b20% melting) in the spinel field (Fig. 9); thus,
the Happo-O'ne protoliths (lherzolite–harzburgite) are residues after
~20% of partial melting in the spinel field.
It is remarkable that HREE contents of the Happo-O'ne clinopyroxenes and tremolite (Fig. 7) are relatively high and do not reflect
equilibration with garnet, which would lead to much lower HREE
contents in clinopyroxene (e.g., Scambelluri et al., 2006). Chlorite is
nearly free from HREE (Fig. 7), suggesting that this chlorite has never
been formed after garnet.
On the other hand, the HFSE and HREE contents of the whole rock
may be used to determine the composition of the pre-metasomatized

(Cpx1) following a fractional melting model in the spinel stability field, possibly hydrous
melting. Calculation method and parameters used in this model, following Johnson et al.
(1990), are from Jean et al. (2010). The best fit of HREE in the primary clinopyroxene
requires 5–20% melting in the spinel field with reflection in LREE-enrichment due to
slab-fluid metasomatism. Note the Happo-peridotite protoliths were formed by
polybaric hydrous fractional melting up to 20% melting. Normalized values of DM are
from Salters and Stracke (2004). (b) Chondrite-normalized REE of clinopyroxenes

Kimura (2007). A MORB source is from Salters and Stracke (2004); chondrite data are
from Anders and Grevesse (1989). This fractional melting model based on clinopyroxene-HREE contents (Cpx1) reflects 1–15% melting in the spinel field. Note the primary
clinopyroxene (Cpx1) resembles the Cpx in abyssal peridotites with strong enrichment
of LREE. The secondary Cpx2 and Cpx3, having low REE values, and the Cpx in abyssal
peridotites (Johnson et al., 1990; Johnson and Dick, 1992) are plotted for comparison.

degree of melt extraction and the nature of melting conditions (e.g.,
Johnson et al., 1990; Dick and Natland, 1996; Hellebrand et al., 2001).
We noted that the behavior of REE in clinopyroxene generations in
the Happo-O'ne metaperidotites differs from that of major elements.
Hence, we can use HREE of the apparently primary clinopyroxene
(Cpx1) to provide reliable chemical information about the magmatic
processes before subduction metasomatism (e.g. Johnson et al.,
1990).
Depleted mantle (DM)-normalized REE abundances (Fig. 8a)
indicate the degree and nature of partial melting assuming hydrous
fractional melting. The method and parameters used in this model,
following Johnson et al. (1990), are from Jean et al. (2010). This model
shows that HREE concentrations in the residual clinopyroxene (Cpx1)
are precisely matched 1–20% (mainly 5%–15%) fractional melting in
the spinel field. Hence, the Cpx1 (low in Na2O and TiO2) underwent
near-fractional melting (e.g., Barth et al., 2003).
Furthermore, by using non-modal hydrous fractional melting
(Johnson et al., 1990; Sano and Kimura, 2007) (Fig. 8b), the best fit
of HREE in the primary clinopyroxene (Cpx1) requires 5–15% melting
in the spinel field. We compared chondrite-normalized REE in the
examined clinopyroxene generations (Fig. 8b) with those in clinopy-
Fig. 9. Ti, Dy and Zr (ppm) in clinopyroxenes. The primary clinopyroxene (Cpx1)
underwent fractional melting between 15%–20% melting. Note all clinopyroxene phases
in the Happo-O'ne metaperidotites are far away the trend of melt percolation, and lie in
the filed of clinopyroxene (Cpx) in SSZ peridotite that was metasomatized by fluids. Dry
melting is residual clinopyroxene compositions during dry melting (incremental batch
melting at 0.1% increments) of a MORB source; amphibole melting is melting of a MORBdepleted source in the presence of amphibole; hydrous melting is melting in the
presence of fluids, and exsolved Cpx is after orthopyroxene (Bizimis et al., 2000). Fields
for clinopyroxene in SSZ (Parkinson et al., 1992; Batanova et al., 1994; Bizimis et al.,
2000) and clinopyroxene in abyssal peridotites (Johnson et al., 1990; Johnson and Dick,
1992) are used for comparison.

high-P peridotites, Ulten zone, Italy (Scambelluri et al., 2006) and clinopyroxene in SSZ (Ishii et al., 1992; Parkinson et al., 1992; Bizimis et al., 2000; Grégoire et al., 2001; JunBing and
ZhiGang, 2007). Note the apparently primary clinopyroxene (Cpx1) with a spoon-shaped REE pattern is similar in REE to the primary clinopyroxene from Ulten Zone, Italy, whereas
the secondary clinopyroxenes (Cpx2 and Cpx3) with U-shaped REE patterns lie mainly in the compositional space of SSZ clinopyroxene. The retrograde clinopyroxene (Cpx3)
derived from the primary orthopyroxene has very low REE concentrations. The Happo-O'ne clinopyroxene phases are nearly free of Hf, Ta, Th, U and Sm (below detection limits), and
are low in Zr and Rb relative to clinopyroxene from Ulten zone (Italy).
mantle (PMM) (Maury et al., 1992), and to estimate the nature and
degree of melt extraction (e.g. Niu, 2004). We noticed that
subduction-conservative elements such as Sc, Ni, Co, HREE, Ca and
Al show systematic variations with MgO, in accordance with proposed
melting trends (Niu, 1997), suggesting that they are residues after 15
to b30% melting (Figs. 3 and 4). The Happo-peridotite protoliths
originated as a series of refractory residues by near-fractional melting
(mainly 15%–25% melting) in the spinel field; this result is confirmed
by using a HREE melting model of Niu (2004) (Fig. 5a, c).
In summary, the chemistry of clinopyroxenes and their bulk rocks
confirmed that the Happo-O'ne peridotites are residues after ~20% of
partial melting for lherzolites to harzburgites and 20% to 25% melting
for dunites in the spinel stability field. This result is supported by
textural evidence for spinel facies.
5.3. Three metasomatic stages of clinopyroxene formation
All clinopyroxenes generated in the Happo-O'ne metaperidotites
share the same major-element compositions, and are low in Al2O3 and
Cr2O3 contents compared to the primary clinopyroxene in IBM forearc
peridotites (Fig. 6). This depletion of Al and Cr is due to a low-T
equilibration of the Happo-O'ne clinopyroxenes in the corner of the
mantle wedge during the reaction between peridotites and aqueous
fluids (Khedr and Arai, 2010). This result is in agreement with Al
content in pyroxenes, which decreases with gradually decreasing
temperatures in the lherzolite system (Gasparik, 2000); hence Al is
depleted in the Happo-O'ne pyroxenes (Khedr and Arai, 2010).
We recognized three different phases of clinopyroxenes based on the
morphology and REE pattern. The Cpx1 from the diopside zone is
partially to completely surrounded by the Cpx2; hence, the former was
formed before the latter. The clinopyroxene (Cpx1) is similar in the
morphology and HREE pattern to primary mantle clinopyroxene
(residual Cpx), and may be modified and/or recrystallized at the
beginning of metamorphism in the mantle wedge at slightly high-T/P.
The Cpx1 is somewhat similar in REE concentration and pattern to
the primary clinopyroxene in high-P peridotites from Ulten Zone, Italy
(Scambelluri et al., 2006) (Fig. 10a). We suggest that the apparently
primary clinopyroxene (Cpx1) was metasomatically enriched in LILE and
LREE (CeN =2.0–5.7) (Figs. 7 and 10) by the fluid (stage 1). All primary
clinopyroxene from the tremolite zone was converted to tremolite and
chlorite at the same metasomatic stage (stage 1) by slab-derived fluids
according to the reaction, clinopyroxene + orthopyroxene + spinel +
H2O =tremolite+ chlorite (e.g., Khedr and Arai, 2010 and references
therein). It is remarkable that the tremolite produced from this
conversion has the same REE concentrations (ΣREE= 2.3–10.3 ppm)
with spikes of fluid-mobile elements as the precursor clinopyroxene
(Cpx1) from the diopside zone (ΣREE= 5.4–12.7 ppm) (Table 3; Fig. 7a).
The stage-1 fluid, at low-T (650–750 °C)/high-P (16–20 kbar) condition,
is highly enriched in LREE (0.2–2 times PM), MREE, Pb, Sr, Li and Rb
and highly depleted in Ta, Th, U and Nb (Figs. 7 and 10–12). Moreover,
across the subducting slab at the amphibolite-facies condition, LREE, Pb
and Sr are extremely released relative to U and Th from the slab to the
mantle wedge at low temperature during the early stage of subduction
(Hattori and Guillot, 2003; Hermann et al., 2006), similar to the stage-1
fluid in the Happo-O'ne area (Figs. 10–12).
The secondary clinopyroxene (Cpx2) from the diopside zone was
formed by the fluid–peridotite interaction in the mantle-wedge corner
during low-T metasomatism (Khedr and Arai, 2010). In the metasomatic stage 2, the secondary clinopyroxene (Cpx2) and antigorite have
been formed after tremolite and olivine according to the reaction, 18
olivine + 4 tremolite + 27 H2O = 8 diopside (Cpx2) + antigorite, at
400–600 °C, P b 20 kbar (Trommsdorff and Evans, 1980), in which
diopside is stable instead of tremolite. This is supported by the absence
of tremolite from the diopside zone and by the general association of
the Cpx2 with antigorite (Fig. 2a–c). The Cpx2 is equivalent to the
secondary clinopyroxene after Nozaka (2005), which was formed by
the hydration reaction of tremolite and olivine as mentioned above. It
is similar in REE content to clinopyroxene in forearc peridotites (Ishii
et al., 1992; Parkinson et al., 1992; Bizimis et al., 2000; Grégoire et al.,
2001; JunBing and ZhiGang, 2007) (Fig. 10). The Cpx2 displays the
same trace-element concentrations and U-shaped REE and multielement patterns as those of precursor tremolite from the tremolite
zone (Fig. 7). The low trace-element concentrations (ΣREE = 1.4–
4.9 ppm) in the Cpx2, relative to the apparently primary Cpx1 and
clinopyroxene in abyssal peridotites (Fig. 8b), are mainly related to
both slightly diluted fluids from the slab in a metasomatic stage 2
(Figs. 10–12) and the low trace-element contents in its source
(tremolite + olivine). The Cpx2 is low in LREE (CeN = 0.4–3.2) relative
to the Cpx1. The stage-2 fluid is diluted in LREE (0.06–1 times PM), Li
and Pb, and nearly free of Cs, Rb and Hf relative to the stage-1 fluid
(Figs. 10–12).
Furthermore, in the last metasomatic stage (stage 3), the third
generation of fine-grained clinopyroxene (Cpx3) was formed after
primary orthopyroxene as a retrogressive phase during the exhumation of the Happo-O'ne metaperidotites with the Renge high-P/T
metamorphic rocks (Khedr and Arai, 2010). The Cpx3 was retrogressively formed according to the reaction, orthopyroxene + olivine +
spinel + H2O (possibly Ca-bearing) = clinopyroxene (Cpx3) +chlorite
(Obata and Thompson, 1981). It is closely associated with chlorite
(Fig. 2d) and metasomatic calcic-amphiboles (tremolite, edenite and

Fig. 11. Fluid-mobile elements (Ce, Sr, Ba, B, Li and Pb ppm) versus immobile element (Yb ppm) in clinopyroxenes. The apparently primary Cpx1 modified in a metasomatic stage 1
reflects a composition of the stage-1 fluid that is highly enriched in LREE, Pb, Sr and Li. The secondary Cpx2 and Cpx3 formed in metasomatic stages 2 and 3, respectively, reflect fluid
compositions of these stages. The stage-2 fluid is low in LREE, Li and Pb relative to the stage-1 fluid. The stage-3 fluid is nearly free of MREE and Pb, and has very low Sr and LREE
concentrations, but has high Ba and B compared to the fluids of stages 1 and 2. Note that the variation in values of conservative element (Yb ppm) is due to various origins and/or
source of clinopyroxene generations, while the variation in mobile-element values is related to diluted fluids during the exhumation of the Happo-O'ne peridotites. Note that the
depth of the subducting slab and temperature (T) decrease from the stage-1 fluid to the stage-3 fluid (grey arrow). Symbols as in Fig. 7.
richterite) (Khedr and Arai, 2010). The Cpx3 is distributed only in
tremolite–chlorite peridotites (tremolite zone), which were affected
by Na metasomatism (Fig. 3f). It is slightly higher in MnO and Na2O
contents than the other clinopyroxene phases (Cpx1 and Cpx2)
(Fig. 6c, d); the enrichment of Mn and Na in the Cpx3 is related to its
association with Ti-rich chromian spinel and chlorite (Fig. 2d), and Na
metasomatism in the later stage, respectively. The Cpx3 is somewhat
similar in its U-shaped REE pattern to the secondary clinopyroxene
(Cpx2). It shows low trace-element concentrations because of its
derivation from primary orthopyroxene by very low-T fluid metasomatism (e.g., Khedr and Arai, 2010). Therefore, this clinopyroxene is
nearly free of MREE and Pb, and has very low Sr, LREE (b0.3 times PM;
CeN b 1.0) and HREE concentrations, but has high Ba, Na, Mn, B and Cs
values compared to the previous two clinopyroxenes (Cpx1 and
Cpx2) (Fig. 7 and Figs. 10–12). At a shallower level of the subducting
slab (shallow subduction), the stage-3 fluid is poorer in MREE, LREE,
Sr and Pb, but highly enriched in Na, Mn, Ba, B and Cs (Figs. 11 and 12).
This is in agreement with low LREE and high Cs, As, Sb, B and Li
discharged into the mantle wedge at a very low temperature during
shallow subduction (Hattori and Guillot, 2003; Savov et al., 2005).
This observation provides the evidence that the metasomatizing slabderived fluids became strongly diluted in the late-stage metasomatism during the exhumation of the Happo-O'ne peridotites (e.g.,
Marocchi et al., 2007). Hence, the metasomatizing fluid compositions
from the subducting slab transversely change according to the depth
levels of the subducting slab.
Hattori and Guillot (2003) studied serpentinites in the forearc
mantle wedge and recognized the compositional change (e.g., in LREE,
Pb, Sr, B, As and Sb) of slab-derived fluids along the subducting slab by
using bulk-rock chemistry. We plot the fluid-mobile elements versus
immobile element (i.e.,Yb) of the Happo-O'ne clinopyroxene phases
to investigate the retrogressive chemical change of the fluids across

retrogressive chemical change of the fluid compositions is possibly equivalent to a

the Happo-O'ne metaperidotites during subduction and their exhumation path underwent
metasomatism by fluids of different compositions from the deepest part of the subducting
slab to the shallow subduction (decreasing slab depth and T). Note the stage-1 fluid,

moderate LREE (b1 times PM), Li and Pb and is very low in Cs, Rb and Hf relative to the
stage-1 fluid. The stage-3 fluid, affected on Cpx3 at T = b400 °C, is nearly free of MREE and
Pb and has very low Sr and LREE (b0.3 times PM) concentrations, but has high Na, Mn, Ba, B
and Cs values compared to the previous two stages 1 and 2.
the subducting slab (Fig. 11). LREE, Sr, Pb and Li decrease by
decreasing the subducting slab level and T during the exhumation
of the Happo-O'ne metaperidotites, while Ba and B increase at
shallow-slab depth (Fig. 11), consistent with a compositional change
of the slab fluids in the mantle wedge (Hattori and Guillot, 2003)
(Fig. 11). Hence, the studied clinopyroxene generations reflect a
chemical change of the slab-derived fluids during multi-stage
metasomatism (stages 1, 2 and 3) of the Happo-O'ne peridotites
(Fig. 12). The chemical change of slab fluids is related to a change of
metamorphic condition (P, T), depth of the subducting slab, and an
episode of metasomatism. The retrogressive chemical change of the
fluid compositions is possibly equivalent to a transversal (nearly
vertical) change of slab-derived fluids within the mantle wedge in
which slices of the Happo-O'ne metaperidotites have left their original
place to shallow depth during the subduction and exhumation path;
these metaperidotites were metasomatized by slab-derived fluids
with different compositions across the subducting slab (Fig. 12). This
is in agreement with a chemical change of the fluid phase recorded by
metasomatized high-P peridotites (Ulten Zone, Italy) as well as with
the changing metamorphic condition of the mantle wedge (Marocchi
et al., 2007).
In summary, we suggest three metasomatic stages of clinopyroxene formation (Cpx1, Cpx2 and Cpx3) during subduction metasomatism. The clinopyroxene chemistry reflects the transversely chemical
change of slab-derived fluids during multi-stage metasomatism.
