We experimentally investigated the phase relations of a peralkaline phonolitic dyke rock associated with the Ilímaussaq plutonic complex (South Greenland). The extremely evolved and iron-rich composition (magnesium number = 2, alkalinity index = 1.44, FeO* = 12 wt%) may represent the parental magma of the Ilímaussaq complex. This dyke rock is therefore perfectly suited for performing phase-equilibrium experiments, since in contrast to the plutonic rocks of the complex, no major cumulate formation processes complicate defining a reasonable starting composition. Experiments were carried out in hydrothermal rapid-quench cold-seal pressure vessels atP= 100 MPa andT= 950–750 °C. H2O contents ranging from anhydrous to H2O saturated (~5 wt% H2O) and varyingfO2(~ΔlogFMQ −3 to +1; where FMQ represents the fayalite–magnetite–quartz oxygen buffer) were applied. Reduced and dry conditions lead to substantial crystallization of alkali feldspar, nepheline, hedenbergite-rich clinopyroxene, fayalite-rich olivine and minor amounts of ulvøspinel-rich magnetite, which represent the phenocryst assemblage of the natural dyke rock. Oxidized and H2O-rich conditions, however, suppress the crystallization of olivine in favor of magnetite and clinopyroxene with less or no alkali feldspar and nepheline formation. Accordingly, combined lowfO2andaH2O force the evolution of the residual melt toward decreasing SiO2, increasing FeO* and alkalinity index (up to 3.55). On the contrary, highfO2andaH2O produce residual melts with relatively low FeO*, high SiO2and a relatively constant alkalinity index. We show that variations ofaH2O andfO2lead to contrasting trends regarding the liquid lines of descent of iron-rich silica-undersaturated peralkaline compositions. Moreover, the increase in FeO* and alkalinity index (reduced and dry conditions) in the residual melt is an important prerequisite to stabilize late-magmatic minerals of the dyke rock, for example, aenigmatite (Na2Fe5TiSi6O20), coexisting with the most evolved melts at 750 °C. Contrary to what might be expected, experiments with highaH2O and interlinked highfO2exhibit higher liquidusT’s compared with experiments performed at lowaH2O andfO2for experiments where magnetite is liquidus phase. This is because ulvøspinel-poor magnetite crystallizes at higherfO2and has a higher melting point than ulvøspinel-rich magnetite, which is favored at lowerfO2.
