Abstract
New δ^(18)O and ^(187)Os/^(188)Os data from late shield-building stage lavas from West Maui volcano, Hawai'i, indicate that a range of distinct shallow-level processes can affect compositions of plume-generated ocean island magmas. The relative ages of the samples studied were determined either on the basis of field relationships, or from collection depth in a water well. The stratigraphically lower lavas have [Os] = 61–399 ppt, initial ^(187)Os/^(188)Os = 0.1311–0.1324 and δ^(18)O_(olivine) = 4.53–4.88‰. The stratigraphically higher lavas have [Os] = 20–273 ppt, initial ^(187)Os/^(188)Os = 0.1323–0.1390 (with the exception of one low [Os] sample with ^(187)Os/^(188)Os = 0.1517), and δ^(18)O_(olivine) = 4.73–5.21‰. These compositions are generally similar to those of Kea-type Hawaiian lavas from Mauna Kea and Kilauea volcanoes, but in detail, there are some significant differences between the West Maui lavas and other Kea-type lavas. The stratigraphically lower lavas have ^(187)Os/^(188)Os similar to those previously observed for Mauna Kea and Kilauea lavas, and define a nearly flat ^(87)Sr/^(86)Sr vs. ^(187)Os/^(188)Os trend that is consistent with assimilation by these magmas of small degree melts of Pacific oceanic crustal gabbros. The stratigraphically higher West Maui lavas extend to ^(187)Os/^(188)Os higher than observed at Mauna Kea or Kilauea. This probably results from interaction of these magmas with the hydrothermally altered volcanic edifice during the waning phases of the shield building stage. This process is likely to affect the isotope systematics of Os and O, but will have little effect on those of Hf, Nd, Pb or Sr.
