Abstract

The study presents the results of an investigation of clinopyroxene xenocrysts collected from the heavy fraction concentrate of kimberlite of the Ivushka pipe (Toluopka field) and Anomaly 75/90 (Molodo field), located within the Birekte terrane of the Siberian craton. The composition of clinopyroxenes from the Ivushka pipe indicate the presence of high-temperature rocks (megacryst assemblage or sheared lherzolites) in the lower part of the lithospheric mantle (LM), which is consistent with the results obtained from garnet xenocrysts. In contrast, clinopyroxene xenocrysts potentially belonging to the megacryst assemblage (or high-temperature lherzolites) are virtually absent in the samples from Anomaly 75/90. A preliminary reconstruction of the thermal state of the LM was conducted using clinopyroxene single-crystal thermobarometry. The results demonstrate that the LM was relatively thick across the Siberian Craton during the Paleozoic epoch of kimberlite magmatism. However, a slight decrease in thickness was observed from the central part (Mirny field – 260 km) toward the northern part of the craton (Upper Muna field – 230 km and Toluopka field – 215 km).
