Experimental logs and analysis of olivine polymorphs and MORB (Mid-Ocean Ridge Basalt) composition garnetite samples recovered from high-pressure faulting experiments

Multi-anvil experiments were performed both in static and deformation geometries on olivine polymorphs and MORB (Mid-Ocean Ridge Basalt) -composition garnetite. Faults were induced by uniaxial compression in both garnetite and wadsleyite but only the garnetite showed evidence of thermal run away to melting. These results suggest that strain localisation by thermal feedback might be an important mechanism for triggering deep earthquakes in the crustal portion of subducted slabs in the deeper transition zone (~500-660 km depth).

Statement

Samples were pre-synthesised at 15 GPa and 1473 K from synthetic glass of MORB composition, or from San-Carlos olivine, in platinum foil capsules. Recovered synthetic samples were prepared for deformation experiments using the deformation-T-cup press at UCL (see Hunt et al Rev. Sci. Instr. 85, 085103, 2014. doi: 10.1063/1.4891338). Ductile deformation was performed at 15 GPa and 1473 K in axial shortening mode. Further brittle faults were introduced into the sample during decompression. Recovered deformed sample was sectioned perpendicular to the faults and polished for SEM and chemical analyses at UCL. TEM foils were prepared and TEM analysis was performed at Imperial College.
