Abstract:An assemblage of Cr-spinels widespread in Carnian (Upper Triassic) diamondiferous deposits in the northeastern Siberian Platform is studied. Analysis of their morphology and chemical composition has revealed two dominant varieties of Cr-spinels and has demonstrated certain regularities in their distribution in the study area. Correlations have been established between the areal distribution of the recognized types of Cr-spinels and diamond varieties typical of kimberlite sources and between the distribution of… Show more
“…Further work on Cr-spinel-based provenance F I G U R E 8 Palaeogeographic reconstruction with outlines of the Siberian Traps LIP, the present-day Ural mountains, the Taimyr Orogen Ophiolite and sample locations from this study. The map is a modified version from Sømme et al (2018), with the Siberian Traps LIP from Ivanov et al (2018), the Urals from Garuti et al (2012), the Taimyr Orogen Ophiolite map from Priyatkina et al (2017) and Osipai Formation sample locations from Nikolenko et al (2018). The Osipai Formation detrital Cr-spinel chemistry is generally consistent with a provenance from a LIP, while detrital Cr-spinel of this study is consistent with a metamorphosed ophiolitic source.…”

“…The added information could help assess recycling histories and group different Cr-spinel grains, akin to cathodoluminescence imaging of zircon. Grouping based on rounding is, for example, essential in the study of Nikolenko et al (2018). Identification of primary and recycled material could help test the regional tectonic model hypothesised by Flowerdew et al (2019) who suggest a Snadd formation provenance from recycled Uralian Orogen foreland sediments.…”

“…The ~235 Ma age peak present in these data is associated with local volcanism (Letnikova et al., 2014). Detrital Cr‐spinel compositions from the same formation suggest that the Siberian Traps LIP is a major source (Nikolenko et al, 2018).…”
