Abstract
Mineralogical and geochemical study of the gabbro-peridotite sills located in the near-bottom part of the Yoko-Dovyren stratified massif among the host terrigenous-carbonate rocks showed that the thickуые (200–250 m) of them are differentiated from plagiolherzolites to olivine gabbronorites. Their formation is well described by fractional crystallization of the picrobasalt melt. When it entered the crystallization chamber, it had already contained some intratelluric crystals of high-magnesian olivine (up to 93 % Fo). The rock crystallization occurred in the temperature range 1234–985 °C at pressure 1.3–1.6 kb, corresponding to depth ~5–6 km. The calculated depth of separation of the initial melt from the mantle source was ~88 km, which corresponds to the lithostatic pressure ~28 kbar. In terms of geochemical parameters, the composition of the initial melt is characterized by dual nature: they are close to both the basalts of suprasubduction magmatism and the basalts of collisional volcanic-plutonic areas. We assume that formation of the Synnyr rift with the Dovyren intrusive complex is due to the destructive development of scattered spreading zones at the collisional-accretionary stage of the Baikal-Muya belt within 720–800 Ma.
