Among most affected elements are volatiles (H2O and CO2) and alkalies (Na and K). This study attempts to overcome the problems related to the alteration of kimberlites by detailed petrographic and chemical analyses of exceptionally fresh, and thus essentially anhydrous (< 0.5 wt.% H2O), kimberlite samples from the Udachnaya-East pipe (Daldyn-Alakit region, Siberia). The groundmass of these kimberlites contains abundant carbonate (calcite, shortite, zemkorite) and chloride (halite, sylvite) minerals, cementing olivine phenocrysts, and forming round segregations ("nodules"). The nodules, belonging to the chloride and chloride-carbonate types, show no evidence of thermometamorphic effects on the contacts with the host kimberlite. The chloride-carbonate nodules demonstrate liquid immiscibility textures that are remarkably similar to those observed in the olivine-hosted chloride-carbonate melt inclusions at similar to 600 degrees C. The similarity of oxygen and carbon isotope values of carbonates from the groundmass and nodules (delta O-18 12.5 to 13.9 parts per thousand VSMOW; delta C-13 -3.7 to -2.7 parts per thousand VPDB) points to their common origin at similar temperatures. We argue for crystallisation of the chloride-carbonate nodules from residual kimberlite melts, pooled after exhaustion of the silicate melt component. The enrichment of the residual melt in alkali carbonate and chloride is partly reflected in the bulk groundmass compositions (10-11 wt.% CO2, 2.3-3.2 wt.% Cl, 2.6-3.7 wt.% Na, and 1.6-2.0 wt.% K). We propose that this enrichment is inherited from the kimberlite parental magma, and it can be responsible for the kimberlite low liquidus temperatures, low viscosities, and rapid emplacement.

Among most affected elements are volatiles (H2O and CO2) and alkalies (Na and K). This study attempts to overcome the problems related to the alteration of kimberlites by detailed petrographic and chemical analyses of exceptionally fresh, and thus essentially anhydrous (< 0.5 wt.% H2O), kimberlite samples from the Udachnaya-East pipe (Daldyn-Alakit region, Siberia). The groundmass of these kimberlites contains abundant carbonate (calcite, shortite, zemkorite) and chloride (halite, sylvite) minerals, cementing olivine phenocrysts, and forming round segregations ("nodules"). The nodules, belonging to the chloride and chloride-carbonate types, show no evidence of thermometamorphic effects on the contacts with the host kimberlite. The chloride-carbonate nodules demonstrate liquid immiscibility textures that are remarkably similar to those observed in the olivine-hosted chloride-carbonate melt inclusions at similar to 600 degrees C. The similarity of oxygen and carbon isotope values of carbonates from the groundmass and nodules (delta O-18 12.5 to 13.9 parts per thousand VSMOW; delta C-13 -3.7 to -2.7 parts per thousand VPDB) points to their common origin at similar temperatures. We argue for crystallisation of the chloride-carbonate nodules from residual kimberlite melts, pooled after exhaustion of the silicate melt component. The enrichment of the residual melt in alkali carbonate and chloride is partly reflected in the bulk groundmass compositions (10-11 wt.% CO2, 2.3-3.2 wt.% Cl, 2.6-3.7 wt.% Na, and 1.6-2.0 wt.% K). We propose that this enrichment is inherited from the kimberlite parental magma, and it can be responsible for the kimberlite low liquidus temperatures, low viscosities, and rapid emplacement.

Among most affected elements are volatiles (H2O and CO2) and alkalies (Na and K). This study attempts to overcome the problems related to the alteration of kimberlites by detailed petrographic and chemical analyses of exceptionally fresh, and thus essentially anhydrous (< 0.5 wt.% H2O), kimberlite samples from the Udachnaya-East pipe (Daldyn-Alakit region, Siberia). The groundmass of these kimberlites contains abundant carbonate (calcite, shortite, zemkorite) and chloride (halite, sylvite) minerals, cementing olivine phenocrysts, and forming round segregations ("nodules"). The nodules, belonging to the chloride and chloride-carbonate types, show no evidence of thermometamorphic effects on the contacts with the host kimberlite. The chloride-carbonate nodules demonstrate liquid immiscibility textures that are remarkably similar to those observed in the olivine-hosted chloride-carbonate melt inclusions at similar to 600 degrees C. The similarity of oxygen and carbon isotope values of carbonates from the groundmass and nodules (delta O-18 12.5 to 13.9 parts per thousand VSMOW; delta C-13 -3.7 to -2.7 parts per thousand VPDB) points to their common origin at similar temperatures. We argue for crystallisation of the chloride-carbonate nodules from residual kimberlite melts, pooled after exhaustion of the silicate melt component. The enrichment of the residual melt in alkali carbonate and chloride is partly reflected in the bulk groundmass compositions (10-11 wt.% CO2, 2.3-3.2 wt.% Cl, 2.6-3.7 wt.% Na, and 1.6-2.0 wt.% K). We propose that this enrichment is inherited from the kimberlite parental magma, and it can be responsible for the kimberlite low liquidus temperatures, low viscosities, and rapid emplacement. </p></div><table style="margin-bottom: 1em" cellpadding="3" class="not_ep_block" border="0"><tr><th valign="top" class="ep_row">Item Type:</th><td valign="top" class="ep_row">Article</td></tr><tr><th valign="top" class="ep_row">Additional Information:</th><td valign="top" class="ep_row">The definitive version is available at http://www.sciencedirect.com </td></tr><tr><th valign="top" class="ep_row">Keywords:</th><td valign="top" class="ep_row">kimberlite, immiscibility, chloride, carbonate, melt inclusions, carbon and oxygen isotopes, oldoinyo-lengai, Yakutian kimberlites, melt inclusions, unaltered kimberlites, isotopic evidence, alkali chlorides, mantle fluid</td></tr><tr><th valign="top" class="ep_row">Subjects:</th><td valign="top" class="ep_row"><a href="http://eprints.utas.edu.au/view/subjects/260300.html">260000 Earth Sciences > 260300 Geochemistry</a><br /><a href="http://eprints.utas.edu.au/view/subjects/260100.html">260000 Earth Sciences > 260100 Geology</a></td></tr><tr><th valign="top" class="ep_row">ID Code:</th><td valign="top" class="ep_row">2451</td></tr><tr><th valign="top" class="ep_row">Deposited By:</th><td valign="top" class="ep_row"><span class="ep_name_citation"><span class="person_name">Prof Vadim Kamenetsky</span></span></td></tr><tr><th valign="top" class="ep_row">Deposited On:</th><td valign="top" class="ep_row">14 Nov 2007 13:58</td></tr><tr><th valign="top" class="ep_row">Last Modified:</th><td valign="top" class="ep_row">09 Jan 2008 02:30</td></tr><tr><th valign="top" class="ep_row">ePrint Statistics:</th><td valign="top" class="ep_row"><a target="ePrintStats" href="/es/index.php?action=show_detail_eprint;id=2451;">View statistics for this ePrint</a></td></tr></table><p align="right">Repository Staff Only: <a href="http://eprints.utas.edu.au/cgi/users/home?screen=EPrint::View&eprintid=2451">item control page</a></p> </td></tr></table> </div> <!-- InstanceEndEditable --></td> </tr> <tr> <td><!-- #BeginLibraryItem "/Library/footer_eprints.lbi" --> <table width="795" border="0" align="left" cellpadding="0" class="footer"> <tr valign="top"> <td colspan="2"><div align="center"><a href="http://www.utas.edu.au">UTAS home</a> | <a href="http://www.utas.edu.au/library/">Library home</a> | <a href="/">ePrints home</a> | <a href="/contact.html">contact</a> | <a href="/information.html">about</a> | <a href="/view/">browse</a> | <a href="/perl/search/simple">search</a> | <a href="/perl/register">register</a> | <a href="/perl/users/home">user area</a> | <a href="/help/">help</a></div><br /></td> </tr> <tr><td colspan="2"><p><img src="/images/eprints/footerline.gif" width="100%" height="4" /></p></td></tr> <tr valign="top"> <td width="68%" class="footer">Authorised by the University Librarian<br /> © University of Tasmania ABN 30 764 374 782<br /> <a href="http://www.utas.edu.au/cricos/">CRICOS Provider Code 00586B</a> | <a href="http://www.utas.edu.au/copyright/copyright_disclaimers.html">Copyright & Disclaimers</a> | <a href="http://www.utas.edu.au/accessibility/index.html">Accessibility</a> | <a href="http://eprints.utas.edu.au/feedback/">Site Feedback</a> </td> <td width="32%"><div align="right"> <p align="right" class="NoPrint"><a href="http://www.utas.edu.au/"><img src="http://www.utas.edu.au/shared/logos/unioftasstrip.gif" alt="University of Tasmania Home Page" width="260" height="16" border="0" align="right" /></a></p> <p align="right" class="NoPrint"><a href="http://www.utas.edu.au/"><br /> </a></p> </div></td> </tr> <tr valign="top"> <td><p> </p></td> <td><div align="right"><span class="NoPrint"><a href="http://www.eprints.org/software/"><img src="/images/eprintslogo.gif" alt="ePrints logo" width="77" height="29" border="0" align="bottom" /></a></span></div></td> </tr> </table> <!-- #EndLibraryItem --> <div align="center"></div></td> </tr> </table> </body> </html>
