“…Mineralogy of mantle sources can be deduced from minor and trace element in olivine over a range of igneous rocks, including basalts (Hagerty et al 2006;Sobolev et al 2007), lamproites (Ammannati et al 2016;Shaikh et al 2019;Chayka et al 2020 (Veter et al 2017;Nosova et al 2018;Rooney et al 2020). In this section, we will use minor elements (Ni, Mn, Ca), combined with trace elements (Li, Zn, Sc, Ti, Co), in olivine to discriminate between pyroxenitic and peridotitic mantle source lithologies and identify different metasomatic agents in the source.…”

Aillikites are carbonate-rich ultramafic lamprophyres and although they are volumetrically minor components of large igneous province (LIP), these rocks provide important clues to melting and metasomatism in the deep mantle domain during the initial stages of LIPs. In this study, we investigate the Wajilitag 'kimberlites' in the northwestern part of the Tarim LIP which we redefine as hypabyssal aillikites based on the following features: (i) micro-phenocrystic clinopyroxene and Ti-rich andradite garnet occurring in abundance in the carbonate-rich matrix; (ii) Cr-spinel exhibiting typical Fe-Ti enrichment trend also known as titanomagnetite trend; and (iii) olivine showing dominantly low-Mg values (Fo < 90). In order to constrain the magma source and evolution, the major, minor and trace element abundance in olivine grains from these rocks were analyzed using electron microprobe and laser ablation-inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry. Olivine in the aillikites occurs as two textural types: (i) groundmass olivines, as sub-rounded grains in matrix; and (ii) macrocrysts, as euhedral-anhedral crystals in nodules. The groundmass olivines show varying Fo89-80 with high Ni (1606-3418 ppm) and Mn (1424-2860 ppm) and low Ca (571-896 ppm) contents. In contrast, the macrocrysts exhibit restricted Fo range but a wide range in Ni and Mn. The former occur as phenocrysts, whereas the latter are cognate cumulates that formed from earlier, evolved aillikite melt. The two olivine populations can be further divided into subgroups , indicating a multi-stage crystallization history of the aillikite melt. The crystallization temperatures of groundmass olivines and macrocrysts in dunite nodules as computed from the spinel-olivine thermometers are 1005-1136°C and This is the peer-reviewed, final accepted version for American Mineralogist, published by the Mineralogical Society of America.

“…The recent geophysical studies of the Kaapvaal and Indian cratons are instructive as they indicate that the ancient metasomatic sources of lamproites are no longer present, having been removed by younger tectonic events. Hence, the depths and temperatures of lamproite magma generation in the lithospheric mantle that have been estimated by the geothermobarometry of entrained eclogite and ultrabasic xenoliths refer to the paleo-configuration of the craton and not its current state (Shaikh et al 2019). These observations, and the work of Celli et al (2020), have implications for the genesis and preservation of lithospheric metasomes and highlight the need for detailed studies of the current and past structure of cratons.…”

Igneous Rock Associations 26. Lamproites, Exotic Potassic Alkaline Rocks: A Review of their Nomenclature, Characterization and Origins

Lamproite is a rare ultrapotassic alkaline rock of petrological importance as it is considered to be derived from metasomatized lithospheric mantle, and of economic significance, being the host of major diamond deposits. A review of the nomenclature of lamproite results in the recommendation that members of the lamproite petrological clan be named using mineralogical-genetic classifications to distinguish them from other genetically unrelated potassic alkaline rocks, kimberlite, and diverse lamprophyres. The names “Group 2 kimberlite” and “orangeite” must be abandoned as these rock types are varieties of bona fide lamproite restricted to the Kaapvaal Craton. Lamproites exhibit extreme diversity in their mineralogy which ranges from olivine phlogopite lamproite, through phlogopite leucite lamproite and potassic titanian richterite-diopside lamproite, to leucite sanidine lamproite. Diamondiferous olivine lamproites are hybrid rocks extensively contaminated by mantle-derived xenocrystic olivine. Currently, lamproites are divided into cratonic (e.g. Leucite Hills, USA; Baifen, China) and orogenic (Mediterranean) varieties (e.g. Murcia-Almeria, Spain; Afyon, Turkey; Xungba, Tibet). Each cratonic and orogenic lamproite province differs significantly in tectonic setting and Sr–Nd–Pb–Hf isotopic compositions. Isotopic compositions indicate derivation from enriched mantle sources, having long-term low Sm/Nd and high Rb/Sr ratios, relative to bulk earth and depleted asthenospheric mantle. All lamproites are considered, on the basis of their geochemistry, to be derived from ancient mineralogically complex K–Ti–Ba–REE-rich veins, or metasomes, in the lithospheric mantle with, or without, subsequent contributions from recent asthenospheric or subducted components at the time of genesis. Lamproite primary magmas are considered to be relatively silica-rich (~50–60 wt.% SiO2), MgO-poor (3–12 wt.%), and ultrapotassic (~8–12 wt.% K2O) as exemplified by hyalo-phlogopite lamproites from the Leucite Hills (Wyoming) or Smoky Butte (Montana). Brief descriptions are given of the most important phreatomagmatic diamondiferous lamproite vents. The tectonic processes which lead to partial melting of metasomes, and/or initiation of magmatism, are described for examples of cratonic and orogenic lamproites. As each lamproite province differs with respect to its mineralogy, geochemical evolution, and tectonic setting there is no simple or common petrogenetic model for their genesis. Each province must be considered as the unique expression of the times and vagaries of ancient mantle metasomatism, coupled with diverse and complex partial melting processes, together with mixing of younger asthenospheric and lithospheric material, and, in the case of many orogenic lamproites, with Paleogene to Recent subducted material.
