The formational and metallogenic affiliation of the alkaline ultramafic rocks of the Arkhangel’sk diamondiferous province and the adjacent areas of the northern East European platform were analyzed using recent concepts on the structure of the formational and metallogenic family of kimberlites and related rocks, petrogeochemical criteria, and discriminant diagrams based on reference associations. It was shown that the alkaline ultramafic magmatism of the Arkhangel’sk province belongs to various formations, which is typical of the provinces of ancient craton margins. In addition to diamondiferous kimberlites, the area hosts abundant low-grade diamondiferous kimpicrites and alpicrites, which are typically associated with rare-metal carbonatites. Significant petrogeochemical differences were detected between the diamondiferous kimberlites of the Arkhangel’sk province and the kimberlites of the classic Central Yakutian diamondiferous province. This allowed us to consider the rocks of the Arkhangel’sk province as a specific geochemical type of diamondiferous kimberlites. Original Russian Text ? A.V. Lapin, E.M.

The morphology and chemical composition of garnets from principal deposits in China and in the Arkhangelsk Province consisting of kimberlites of various mineral types have been examined. The morphology of garnets (300 specimens) from the V. Grib pipe was examined, in which crystal fragments and irregular grains predominate, and dissolution traces are common. Distribution of types of garnet coloration is typical of kimberlites: lilac-violet and red garnets of ultramafic rock association are preponderant, and the proportion of yellow-orange garnets is rather high, while brown garnets are very rare. The garnet preservation degree is very low, which is related to their high primary fracturing due to cataclasis. Grains with finely matted surfaces are preponderant (90%) reflecting their high corrosion alterations. The chemical composition was determined in 56 garnet speciments from the Grib pipe. Garnets from lherzolitic and eclogitic rock types were found and garnets from magnesium and ilmenite ultramafics are present; there are no garnets from eclogites, but garnets from diamondiferous rock associations occur. The investigations demonstrated that garnets from lherzolite rock association are preponderant in kimberlites from China, as well as from other regions, while garnets from the harzburgite-dunite and from diamondiferous rock associations are rare. Garnets belonging to the graphitepyrope depth facies were also found.  相似文献

This paper reports new petrographic and mineralogical data on the Manchary kimberlite pipe, which was discovered south of Yakutsk (Central Yakutia) in 2007–2008, 100 km. The pipe breaks through the Upper Cambrian carbonate deposits and is overlain by Jurassic terrigenous rock masses about 100 m thick. It is composed of greenish-gray kimberlite breccia with a serpentine-micaceous cement of massive structure. The porphyry texture of kimberlite is due to the presence of olivine, phlogopite, and picroilmenite phenocrysts. The SiO2 and Al2O3 contents of the groundmass are indicative of typical noncontaminated kimberlites. The groundmass has a significant content of ore minerals: Fe- and Cr-spinels, perovskite, magnetite, and, less commonly, magnesian Cr-magnetite. Pyropes occur in kimberlites as sharp-edged fragments and show uneven distribution. Chemically, they belong to lherzolite, wehrlite, or nondiamondiferous dunite–harzburgite parageneses. Garnets corresponding to lherzolites of anomalous composition make up 8%; this is close to the garnet content of Middle Paleozoic kimberlites from the Yakutian kimberlite province. The pyropes from the new pipe are compositionally similar to those from diamond-poor Middle Paleozoic kimberlites in the north of the Yakutian diamondiferous province. Chemically, pyropes from the Manchary pipe and those from the modern alluvium of the Kengkeme and Chakyya Rivers differ substantially. Consequently, the rocks of the pipe could not be a source of pyropes for this alluvium. They probably occured from other sources. This fact along with numerous “pipelike” geophysical anomalies, suggest the existence of a new kimberlite field in Central Yakutia.  相似文献

We report the first data on the contents of main oxides and REE in rocks and the compositions of pyropes and almandines from the Maiskoe kimberlite body recently discovered in the Nakyn field of the Yakutian kimberlite province.The kimberlites are characterized by low contents of Ti, a slight domination of Mg over Ca, and high contents of K2O in some samples. The pyropes have high contents of Cr2O3 (up to 14.5 wt.%); many of them (~16%) are poor in Ca. In petrochemical and mineralogical features the kimberlites of the Maiskoe body are complementary to the highly diamondiferous kimberlites of the nearby Botuobinskaya and Nyurbinskaya pipes. At the same time, they are not the final link in the evolution of kimberlite magmatism in the Nakyn field, which makes the latter still more promising for diamonds.  相似文献

Major and rare-earth element data on Cr-poor megacrystic suite from Yakutian kimberlites were generalized. Sr-Nd isotopes were studied in garnet, clinopyroxene, and phlogopite megacrysts as well as in garnet and clinopyroxene from deformed xenoliths. It was shown that Sr-Nd composition of these minerals is similar to that in the least altered diamondiferous kimberlites. The crystallization age of megacrystic minerals was determined by Rb-Sr isochron and Ar-Ar (for phlogopite megacrysts) methods. Obtained data indicate that crystallization of Cr-poor megacrystic suite began at the prekimberlitic stage and continued to the pipe emplacement. It was established that garnets from coarse-porphyric deformed lherzolites and megacrysts are similar in major and rare-earth element compositions and were derived from a common asthenospheric source. However, the distribution of incompatible elements and P-T estimates of crystallization cannot be explained by hypothesis of fractional crystallization of garnet megacrysts. It is suggested that megacrystic assemblage crystallized directly in asthenospheric melt. En route to the surface, this melt caused a metasomatic reworking of lithospheric mantle, on the one hand, and was enriched in Mg and Cr owing to the contamination by lithospheric material, on the other hand.  相似文献

Pyrope–almandine garnets (Mg# = 28.3–44.9, Ca# = 15.5–21.3) from a heavy mineral concentrate of diamondiferous kimberlites of the largest diamond deposit, the Yubileinaya pipe, along with kimberlite- like rocks and diamondiferous volcano–sediments of the Laptev Sea coast, have been found to contain polymineral, predominantly acicular inclusions, composed of aggregates of shrilankite (Ti2ZrO6), rutile, ilmenite, clinopyroxene, and apatite. The presence of shrilankite as an inclusion in garnets from assumed garnet–pyroxene rocks of the lower crust, lifted up by diamond-bearing kimberlite, allows it to be considered as an indicator mineral of kimberlite, which expands the possibilities when searching for kimberlite in the Arctic.  相似文献

Medium-scale magnetotelluric sounding conducted within the Malaya Botuobiya (Yakutian diamondiferous province) and Zimnii Bereg (Archangelsk diamondiferous province) kimberlite regions revealed the main features of their geoelectric sections. These features have a genetic relation to the processes of kimberlite formation. All of the known kimberlite pipes of the two regions are located within the outlines of the revealed conducting geoelectric heterogeneities. The presence of such heterogeneities can be regarded as a possible deep criterion for distinguishing promising areas for kimberlite exploration.  相似文献

The distribution of kimberlite, lamproite and related alkaline volcanism in Australia can be broadly related to the structure of the Australian continent and lithosphere. Diamondiferous kimberlites and lamproites, with the apparent exception of the weakly diamondiferous Orrorro kimberlites in the Adelaide Fold Belt, lie within the large Precambrian shield where seismic tomographic models and heat flow data indicate the presence of relatively cold, high seismic wave speed lithosphere (tectosphere) typically some 200 km thick or more beneath the Archaean cratons and up to 300 km in parts of central Australia. Many of the diamondiferous intrusions appear to lie at the margins rather than in the centre of the lithosphere domains. The highest concentration of diamondiferous intrusions (kimberlites and lamproites) is on and around the Kimberley Craton where seismic data indicate crustal thicknesses of 35–40 km and a lithosphere up to 275 km thick that is distinct from Proterozoic northern Australia.

Many, but clearly not all, of the intrusions show evidence of regional and local structural controls. Some are spatially associated with known crustal structures, especially regional faults. Others are aligned, either singly or in clusters, along or near discontinuities and/or gradients evident in regional scale potential field data, especially the total horizontal gradients of gravity data continued upward tens to hundreds of kilometres. Many of these features are not evident in the original datasets as their signatures are masked by shorter wavelength (near surface) anomalies. In some cases, the kimberlites and associated rocks lie within crustal blocks and domains defined by discontinuities in the potential field data rather than at domain boundaries.

Our overview suggests that analysis of potential field data, especially horizontal gradients in upwardly continued potential field data, at all scales can assist definition of crustal and, potentially, lithospheric structures that may influence the distribution of diamond pipes. However, more definitive mapping of Australia's diamond prospective regions requires the integration of data on crustal structures, especially trans-lithospheric faults, and geodynamic settings with high resolution tomographic models and other geophysical, petrologic, and isotopic information on the nature of the lithosphere beneath the Australian continent.  相似文献
