Chromian Spinels from Kazanian-Stage Placers in the Southern Pre-Urals, Bashkiria, Russia: Morphological and Chemical Features and Evidence for Provenance

Six minor alluvial chromite placers (Kolkhoznyi Prud, Verkhne-Yaushevo, Sukhoy Izyak, Bazilevo, Novomikhaylovka, Kiryushkino) and one major littoral placer (Sabantuy) were found in sandy sediments of the Kazanian stage of the Permian System (Late Roadian and Wordian Stages) in the Southern Pre-Urals. It is shown that the morphological features of chromian spinels are diverse, which is not evidence of the heterogeneity of the source. The bulk chemical composition of chromian spinels from all placers is similar and generally correlates with compositions of chromian spinels from the Kraka ophiolitic complex in the Southern Urals. The morphological diversity of grains, varied chemical composition and presence of melt inclusions in Ti-high octahedral grains of chromian spinels comply with the ophiolitic nature of the source. Thus, there is no need to refer to other sources for chromite ores but ophiolitic. The new placers expand the dissemination area of chromite-bearing deposits on the east edge of the East-European Platform and offer a prospect to discover new placers.

“…The clasts are very well-sorted and well-rounded. Such features are typical of littoral (possibly, delta) sediments [82][83][84]. In addition, the Sabantuy paleoplacer differs from the others in the size of the chromite-rich bed.…”
