Its protolith was likely a mixture of Upper Permian sedimentary rocks (aleurolite, marl, among others). Degassing, evaporation, and thermal (contact) metamorphism have significantly influenced the petrogenesis to produce a wide diversity of species present in mineral associations. The crystallization of paralava in a shallow setting was accompanied by an intense degassing and vesiculation of the melt, causing locally high porosity in the rock. An elevated degree of oxidation of the initial melt and progressive rise of <i>f</i>O₂ were likely related to the H₂ loss during the vesiculation and dissociation of H₂O. Consequently, ferrian magnesiochromite (<i>Mchr</i>) and chromian spinel (Fe³⁺-enriched) were the early phases to crystallize; they were followed by members of the magnesioferrite–magnetite series. In situ melting of quartz-bearing and carbonate–clay rocks led to the development of domains of peralkaline felsic glass that surround partially resorbed quartz grains. Numerous grains of wollastonite and rare larnite formed during contact pyrometamorphism. The alkalis increased progressively during crystallization, with a notable enrichment in Na (up to 0.30 apfu) in the åkermanite–gehlenite series. The formation of leucite following melilite is indicated. Euhedral grains of <i>Cpx</i> display concentric cryptic zonation, with a zone of extreme Mg enrichment due to a local deficit in Fe²⁺. As consequences of the continuing rise in <i>f</i>O₂, esseneite crystallized in the rim of zoned clinopyroxene. Two schemes of coupled substitution account for the composition of <i>Cpx</i> grains analyzed in various textural relationships: Mg²⁺ + Si⁴⁺ → (Fe³⁺ + Al³⁺) and (Ti⁴⁺ + Al³⁺) + (Na + K)⁺ → 2Mg²⁺ + Si⁴⁺. The pre-existing grains of olivine (associated with <i>Mchr</i>) were likely replaced completely by sepiolite–palygorskite associated with brownmillerite and its probable Fe³⁺-dominant counterpart, srebrodolskite. The investigated layer of alkaline microclinopyroxenite is unique in the Russian Plate, and a search is thus required to recognize other pyrogenic products. Also, further research is required to evaluate the contents and volumes of coal (or other sources of hydrocarbons) that could cause spontaneous and long-lasting combustion to form the considerable volume of paralava recognized in the Purtovino area.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":20026,"journal":{"name":"Petrology","volume":"32 3","pages":"404 - 421"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141167799","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 rock-forming minerals of porphyritic ongonites are quartz, albite and sanidine, and minor minerals are topaz and zinnwaldite. The ongonitic matrix is composed of a quartz–sanidine–albite assemblage with micron-sized needle-shaped topaz crystals. In transitional porphyritic rocks and in the endocontact aphyric zone, the interstices between matrix minerals are filled with a F–Ca phase formed from a F–Ca (fluoritic) stoichiometric melt. Fluoride–silicate liquid immiscibility in ongonitic magma and fluid-magmatic processes led to the redistribution of REE, Y, and many trace elements between melts, fluids, minerals and a contrasting change in mineral-phase assemblages in the rocks. This is associated with the appearance of M-type (T₁ _La–Nd, T₄ _Er–Lu) and W-type (T₃ _Gd–Ho) tetrad effects in the chondrite-normalized REE patterns of rocks. Degassing of magmatic fluids through the endocontact aphyric zone was accompanied by the crystallization of Sr-bearing prosopite and hydrous Ca–Al-fluorides. Aphyric rocks, compared to porphyritic ongonites and porphyritic transitional rocks, are enriched in H₂O, Sr, Ba, Rb, Sn, W, Ta, Be, Zr, Hf, Sb, As, Sc, but contain less Li, Pb, Zn, Y and REE. During the effect of magmatic fluids on rocks enriched in Ca and F, especially in the endocontact aphyric zone, albite was partially or completely replaced by the F–Ca phase and kaolinite, and the F–Ca phase recrystallized into aggregates of micron-sized grains of stoichiometric fluorite without trace elements.

The sill is poorly layered: the ferrogabbros compose the lower part of the sill, the middle part consists of quartz gabbro-monzonites and quartz monzonites, while graphic leucogranites (granophyres) form a dense network of veins mainly in the upper part of the sill. Geochemical features of ferrogabbro, iron-rich composition of olivine and pyroxene, and low Ca composition of plagioclase indicate the evolution along the Fenner trend. The granophyres have petro- and geochemical characteristics of anorogenic alkaline granites, with negative Eu/Eu* = 0.15–0.49 and REE distribution patterns similar to those of granophyres of layered intrusions. All rocks of the sill have close Sr isotopic composition (⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr)_T = 0.7043–0.7066, and ε_Nd values ranging from −9.6 to −11.2. Model calculations show that fractional crystallization can lead the initial ferrogabbro melt into the immiscibility field. Ilmenite–magnetite–silicate microstructures have been identified in the ferrogabbro and ferromontzogabbro from the sill; similar microstructures in layered intrusions are considered as evidence for the immiscibility of Fe-rich and Si-rich liquids (Holness et al., 2011; Dong et al., 2013). The segregation of the high-silica melt may have occurred in an intermediate crustal chamber at around 350 MPa and 960^oC; magma was supplied as crystalline mush at the sill emplacement level at around 70 MPa and acidic melt migrated through it. This melt underwent fractional crystallization and interacted with host minerals. At the level of sill emplacement, it crystallized under supercooling into granophyre aggregates. The example of the Valaam sill shows that when the Fenner fractionation reaches the final composition–-ferrogabbro, its further evolution with a conjugate decrease in SiO₂ and Fe contents can be related to the incomplete separation and mixing of Fe-rich melts and immiscibly split felsic melt.
