Dunites, troctolites, harzburgites, and chromitites have been studied. Ninety-one crystal size distributions of olivine and chromite, acquired mostly manually in thin sections, are presented. The CSD shape tends to be loglinear, bimodal (kinked), or lognormal. Number of CSDs for the selected zone or the part of stratigraphic cumulate succession in the intrusion is enough to reveal sustainably repeating CSD patterns, which provide a clear kinetic fingerprint of a some point in the dynamic evolution of crystallizing magma bodies and protocumulate crystal mushes. The CSDs kinetic record in turn may be partly deciphered by comparing the natural CSD forms with mathematical or qualitative models of distribution formation. We used previously published models for explanation of different CSD shapes and also proposed a modified model with nonequilibrium <i>T</i>-<i>t</i> path for the origin of the primary loglinear distribution widely known in magmatic rocks. The first idea of proposed modification is simultaneous accounting in a single model experimentally known bell-shaped dependence of nucleation and growth rates on supercooling and also experimentally proved dependence of the growth rate on the grain size (proportional growth). Previous models include this effect only separately. The second idea is the dependence of the intensity of the proportional growth effect also on supercooling. To this stage of calculation the original equation is proposed. The selected model for the natural CSD pattern formation is additionally verified by studying the growth and dissolution history of individual grains, which is recorded in chemical or morphological zoning of crystals. Phosphorus and other trace element zoning of olivine was analyzed using electron microprobe mapping. Contrast BSE images were used for the observation of zonal inclusion distribution in chromite. To take into account that the most common case is the open-system behavior of magma meaning that crystals move relative to the mother liquid during crystal population formation, the additional element is required to prove the dynamic process suggested by kinetics. This element is the study of bulk geochemistry and its correlation with CSD types, which reflects how the particular area of crystal mush with specific CSD differs from its previous state and how step by step it evolves away from the initial magma. Following this, CSD and zoning data for a number of olivine-rich rock samples were correlated with the bulk chemical composition of the rocks. The last aspect of the approach described in the paper involves assessing the thermodynamic state of the initial magma and crystalline mush of the studied region of a chamber at the time of local sub","PeriodicalId":20026,"journal":{"name":"Petrology","volume":"34 1","pages":"S1 - S105"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2026-07-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148552869","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}

The results of combined field and petrological studies, carbon isotope analysis, and Raman spectroscopy for mafic sills intruded into carbon-bearing sedimentary successions in the Paleoproterozoic Onega Basin (NW Russia) provide new insights into mechanisms of carbonaceous matter (CM) migration and deposition. Greenschist facies metamorphism has negligible impact on large‑scale CM redistribution, as evidenced by the occurrence of CM‑bearing and CM‑free sills at contacts with carbon‑rich sediments under similar metamorphic conditions. Raman data indicate CM precipitation at ~400°C suggesting a hydrocarbon fluid migration during sill cooling. The carbon isotopic composition in the CM-bearing dolerites (δ<sup>13</sup>C = –26...–29‰) is the same as in host sediments indicating them as the main source of CM. The thin zones of the dolerites enriched in CM at the upper contact of the sills are a result of near-contact transfer during magma emplacement. The concentration of CM in the interstices in dolerites and enhance of CM content from medium-grained dolerites to gabbro-pegmatites in the central parts of the sills suggest the low miscibility of CM‑rich fluids and their affinity to residual melts. Notably, the low permeability of sills limits fluid flow mostly to cooling joint fractures at roofs and base of the sills therefore sills acted as barriers rather than pathways for hydrocarbon fluid migration.</p>","PeriodicalId":20026,"journal":{"name":"Petrology","volume":"34 4","pages":"468 - 485"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2026-07-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148532416","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}
