Source of Data 1. Historical lavas (1843 –
1984). N = 165. 2. 14C-dated Prehistoric lavas
(0.2 – 36 ka). Ages from Jack Lockwood and Frank Trusdell (USGS). N = 205.

THE BOTTOM LINE ABOUT 600 ka of SHIELD-
BUILDING RECORD
![Page 5: Mauna Loa Magmas in Space and Time - University of Hawai ...kenhon/HawaiiChapman/... · Conclusions and Problems 1. About 600 ka of shield-building magmatic history. 2. Shift from](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062921/5f0351b57e708231d408a015/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Mauna Loa Olivine Control Trends 1. The vast majority of lavas plot
on well-defined olivine-control trends, irrespective of age or location.
2. Exceptions include lavas that have evolved beyond olivine-control, lavas that have fractionated pyroxene, some have accumulating plagioclase, and rare alkalic lavas.
3. The olivine-control trends result from 3-component mixing involving (a) olivine; (b) an evolved (~7% MgO) magma; and (c) parental picritic magmas (~13 – 18% MgO).

PROBLEMS! 1. Constancy in major trends is
difficult to reconcile with changing melt conditions as ML moves across a thermally zoned plume.
2. Similarly argues against varying proportions of peridotite and pyroxenite in plume source.

MgO – FeO Relationships
1. Olivine trends controlled by accumulation of Fo88 – 91 2. Evolved component with MgO ~ 7 and FeO ~ 9.8 % 3. Parental picritic magmas 13 – 18 % MgO. 4. Lavas > 240 ka controlled by more forsteritic olivine.

MgO – FeO Relationships
1. Younger lavas (<240 ka) trend towards Fo88 – 89. 2. Older lavas (> 240 ka) trend towards Fo89 – 90. 3. Implies higher MgO and temperature in the past?

MgO – Ni Relationships
1. Older lavas (> 240 ka) tend to be higher in Ni at a given MgO than younger (< 240 ka lavas).
2. Consistent with MgO – FeO relationship.

Olivine Geothermometry (Putirka, 2005)
1. Maximum ML magma temperature of ~ 1570 oC. 2. Lower temperature of ~ 1435 oC. 3. Could this imply a decline in melt production over time?
![Page 11: Mauna Loa Magmas in Space and Time - University of Hawai ...kenhon/HawaiiChapman/... · Conclusions and Problems 1. About 600 ka of shield-building magmatic history. 2. Shift from](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062921/5f0351b57e708231d408a015/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
What can the incompatible elements contribute?
1. Highly variable throughout ~ 600 ka. 2. No obvious indication of declining melt production. 3. Problem resolving contribution from source variability
and melting.

Fitton Diagram 1. Most ML lavas plot below
the “Fitton Line”. Implies recycled oceanic crust in source?
2. Younger lavas (< 240 ka) define a trend with Zr/Nb ~ 12 – 15.
3. Older lavas (> 240 ka) follow two trends, one similar to the younger lavas. The other to lower Zr/Nb with increasing Zr/Y and Loihi-like compositions.
![Page 13: Mauna Loa Magmas in Space and Time - University of Hawai ...kenhon/HawaiiChapman/... · Conclusions and Problems 1. About 600 ka of shield-building magmatic history. 2. Shift from](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062921/5f0351b57e708231d408a015/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Isotopes (Weis et al., 2011)
1. Wide range on Loa side of the Pb vs Pb plot 2. Two trends. One towards, and overlaping with, Loihi
compositions for < 240 ka lavas. The other for > 400 ka lavas towards higher 208Pb at a given 206Pb.
3. Greater source heterogeneity in the past.
![Page 14: Mauna Loa Magmas in Space and Time - University of Hawai ...kenhon/HawaiiChapman/... · Conclusions and Problems 1. About 600 ka of shield-building magmatic history. 2. Shift from](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062921/5f0351b57e708231d408a015/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Conclusions and Problems 1. About 600 ka of shield-building magmatic history. 2. Shift from mainly submarine shield-building to mainly
subaerial shield-building around 300to 400 ka. 3. Sparse record between 100 to 400 ka (need drilling?). 4. No need for different lithologies in the plume source
(peridotite will do nicely!). 5. May be decline in magma temperature and melt production
over time, but not evident from trace data. 6. Wide range in isotopic ratios along Loa trend. 7. Majority of lavas > 240 ka overlap isotopically with younger
lavas, but some approach Loihi compositions, while some lavas > 400 ka are isotopically distinct (Weis et al., 2011).
8. Implies Mauna Loa plume source was more heterogeneous in the past.

Historical Lavas Historical Lavas Historical Lavas (1843 – 1984)
1. Almost the same range in K/Y in only 141 years! 2. Greatest variability at a time when eruption rates
(magma supply rates?) were high.

Note high Nb/Y and low Zr/Nb in lavas > 400 ka. Indicative of source contributions?
