Most of the olivine phenocrysts in the Gaussberg lamproites are high Mg varieties (Fo89–91) with elevated Ni contents (up to 4900 ppm) and high Ni/Co ratios. According to data of about 320 clinopyroxene analyses, two groups of diopsidic phenocrysts have been established. Group I consists mainly of high-Mg varieties (Mg#>80), while group II clinopyroxenes are less magnesian (Mg# 52–80). The main difference between the clinopyroxenes of the two groups is the elevated contents of Al2O3, FeO and reduced TiO2, Cr2O3, and NiO in the compositions of group II compared to group I, as well as different contents of trace elements, which may reflect their crystallization from different types of primary melts. According to the study of ~550 grains of leucite phenocrysts in the Gaussberg lamproites, it was shown that they correspond to the ideal stoichiometry of leucite K[AlSi2O6] and are enriched in Na2O (0.05–0.35 wt %), but depleted in K2O (19.9–20.9 wt %) compared to leucites from lamproites of other provinces. The BaO content reaches 0.3 wt %, SrO –0.04 wt %. The iron content in most leucite phenocrysts varies within 0.7–1.2 wt % Fe2O3, but some grains have the low Fe2O3 contents (<0.5 wt %). In leucite microlites of the groundmass and rims of phenocrysts, the Fe2O3 content can reach 2.4 wt %, which may indicate more oxidized conditions at lava eruption. Based on the study of natural samples, existing experimental data and numerical models, the order and conditions of crystallization of the Gaussberg lamproites were obtained. Crystallization proceeded in the following order: chromian spinel → chromian spinel + olivine → olivine + leucite (± chromian spinel) → olivine + leucite + clinopyroxene (± chromian spinel). The near-liquidus assemblage represented by high-Mg olivine phenocrysts with inclusions of Cr-spinel was formed in the temperature range from 1180 to 1250°C. Further crystallization of the melt with the formation of an association of olivine+leucite+clinopyroxene phenocrysts could occur at pressures below 2 GPa and temperatures of 1070–1180°C, corresponding to the presence of water in the magmatic system. Estimates of the redox conditions of crystallization of lamproites obtained using different oxybarometers vary in a wide range from QFM-0.5 to QFM+2.3. The elevated Ni contents in liquidus olivines of Gaussberg indicate the high nickel contents in the source. It is shown that the formation of ultra-alkaline magmas in the Gaussberg volcano area is likely related to melting of the continental lithosphere, which was heterogeneous and included both the peridotite mantle and hydrous pyroxenite fragments.","PeriodicalId":12781,"journal":{"name":"Geochemistry International","volume":"58 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135433480","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
