The eclogites in the lithospheric mantle beneath the Arkhangelsk province were strongly modified by metasomatic processes, which totally obliterated the primary features of protolith. Detailed studies of the xenoliths allowed us to distinguish the following metasomatic events: (1) early mantle metasomatism and (2) interaction with kimberlite melt. During the multiple early mantle metasomatism, primary clinopyroxene and garnet were replaced by metasomatic clinopyroxene, garnet, amphibole, calcite, and phlogopite under the influence of carbonated ultramafic melts. The impact of kimberlite melt caused the dissolution and recrystallisation of solid-phase inclusions and formation of melt pockets consisting of serpentine, chlorite, carbonate, spinel, perovskite, amphibole, recrystallized garnet, and clinopyroxene. En route to the surface in kimberlite melt, the xenoliths were disintegrated and primary garnet and clinopyroxene were metasomatized with increasing Ti and Cr contents, up to formation of high-Cr megacrysts. The garnet pyroxenites are represented by high-Ca, low-Mg and low-Ca, high-Mg types. It is shown that the high-Ca, low-Mg garnet pyroxenites can be the final products of the eclogite xenolith metasomatism by carbonated ultramafic melts. The low-Ca, high-Mg pyroxenites were derived through the interaction of a partial eclogite melt with depleted peridotites.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":20026,"journal":{"name":"Petrology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2022-09-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"4283588","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 Mezoarchean (∼2.88 Ga) metabasalts of the greenstone belt and Paleoproterozoic (∼1.86 Ga) gabbronorites and vein gabbros were formed at rifting and postcollisional extension, respectively. The Archean metabasites of the greenstone belt and enclaves in the TTG complex compositionally correspond to low-Ti tholeiitic basalts and basaltic andesites.

The geochemical and Nd isotopic characteristics of gabbronorites and gabbros indicate that the lithospheric mantle had become progressively more heterogeneous by the Paleoproterozoic due to preceding Archean processes.

The rocks of the Early Cretaceous stage (135–100 Ma), which form the volcanic flow complex of the EMVA, are predominantly differentiated alkali basaltoids.

The magmatic rocks mark two stages of the geodynamic evolution of this structure. The first stage (RF<sub>2–3</sub>) is characterized by the tholeiitic magmatism (subvolcanic basic rocks of the Shchokuryinsky and Moroinsky complexes). According to composition and source type (Y/Nb = 3–5, E-MORB), these rocks can be correlated with riftogenic plume-related series of the East European passive margin. Magmatism of the second stage (650–500 Ma) was related to the evolution of divergent transform continental margin. This stage involved the subsequent formation of calc-alkaline magmatic series (653–608 Ma) (Sys’insky and Parnuksky complexes) and bimodal basalt–rhyolite association (569–554 Ma) (Sablegorsky and Laptopaisky complexes), which vary from tholeiitic to calc-alkaline rocks. High values of the Y/Nb ratio (5–8) in the basic rocks of the Sablegorsky complex suggest that their generation was related with intensification of transform movements, when plume-related basic magma (E-MORB-type source) interacted with more depleted slab-derived component. The rhyolites of the Sablegorsky complex mark the incipient generation of the A-type rhyolite–granite association (Y/Nb = 0.2–1), which was continued (522–490 Ma) by the granites of the Mankhambo and Ilya-Iz massifs. Their genesis may be related to the differentiation of magmas from two possible sources. A-granites with Y/Nb = 2.0 (phase I of the Mankhambo massif) were generated from E-MORB-type source. Granites of phase II (Y/Nb = 0.2–1) were derived from heterogeneous sources with the participation of OIB-type component. In general, the rocks of the Vendian–Cambrian stage, in comparison with older rocks, are characterized by the highest degree of plume-lithosphere interaction, with contribution of subduction-modified lithospheric mantle. The role of crustal contamination increases from the rhyolites of the Sablegorsky and Laptopaisky complexes to the granites of the Mankhambo massif. The presence of relict zircons and the “crustal” Sr and Hf isotope signatures indicate the contribution of ancient crustal material in their protolith. The genesis of the rhyolite–granite association may be associated with the emplacement of the “Mankhambo” plume.
