Rock magnetic analyses as a tool to investigate diversity of drift pumice clasts: An example from Japan's 2021 Fukutoku‐Oka‐no‐Ba ( FOB ) eruption

Résumé

Abstract The crystallization of nanolites within magma chambers has recently raised a strong interest due to their impact on increasing melt viscosity and triggering magmatic eruptions. In 2021, the Fukutoku‐Oka‐no‐Ba (FOB) underwater eruption produced large quantities of pumices that eventually formed rafts drifting at the surface of the ocean to the East coasts of Japan. Pumices collected along the shore shortly after grounding show various colors, microscopic and Raman analyses made by Yoshida et al. ( Island Arc , 31 , 1, 2022) revealed the presence of magnetite nanolites in some of them. In this study, we explore the magnetic properties of a batch of pumices of different colors from the FOB eruption, aiming to refine characterization of iron oxide nanolites. We used various analytical techniques such as SEM and FEG‐SEM observations, EDS‐X analyses, and rock magnetic experiments, including thermomagnetic analyses, hysteresis curves, coercivity analyses and FORC measurements. Our findings reveal that the iron oxides present in the FOB samples are Ti‐magnetite, with minor amounts of Mg and Al. The magnetic crystals show a wide range of sizes, from extra small iron oxide nanolites (ESION) in the pumices with the lighter colors, to more bulky grains reaching the micrometer size in some of the dark color samples, significant diffusion is inferred in that case. Consequently, the magnetic characterization of iron oxide crystals within the Fukutoku‐Oka‐no‐Ba pumices reveals varying stages of nucleation, dissolution, growth, and diffusion processes, providing evidences for the heterogeneous state of the magma during the eruption.
