- Аннотация: The study of melt inclusions in minerals is the only direct approach to estimate the contents of volatile components in silicate melts, which are essential to constrain the processes of magma generation and evolution. In particular, the content of sulfur in silicate melts is closely connected with the P-T-fO2 conditions of mantle melting and the formation of sulfide deposits. Inclusions in high-Mg olivine can provide access to the composition of the most primitive melts, but these are the most susceptible to post-entrapment modification such as ‘Fe-loss’. The loss of Fe consequently decreases sulfur solubility and leads to silicate-sulfide immiscibility and formation of daughter sulfide globules, significantly affecting the initial proportions of S contained within the silicate part (glass) of melt inclusions. In this study, we investigated the budget of sulfur in heated and quenched melt inclusions hosted in primitive olivine (87–90 mol% Fo) by accounting for sulfur stored in silicate glass (melt), daughter sulfide globules and shrinkage bubbles. Melt inclusions from MORB-like olivine-phyric rocks (Kamchatsky Mys, Far East Russia) heated for 30 min at 1200 °C and 1300 °C were compared with similar experiments on olivine-hosted melt inclusions over a 5 min duration (at 1200 °C and 1350 °C). Sulfur contents were calculated in the following types of melt inclusions, containing: (i) both sulfide globules and shrinkage bubbles, (ii) only sulfide globules, (iii) only shrinkage bubbles, and (iv) completely homogenized. Our findings indicate that S content in shrinkage bubbles and its precipitates is negligible in reheated water-poor melt inclusions, whereas daughter sulfide globules are significant repositories of initial S. Therefore, when estimating initial S contents in parental melts, the amounts stored in both daughter sulfide and silicate glass should be considered. Our experiments with MORB-type melt inclusions in forsteritic olivine phenocrysts demonstrate that effective homogenization is best achieved by briefly overheating melt inclusions prior to rapid quenching. Although this technique does not allow for the MgFe equilibrium between melt inclusions and their host olivine to be fully achieved, it promotes the dissolution of daughter sulfide globules and shrinkage bubbles, and thus the release of initial sulfur back to the melt/glass.
