Крупномасштабное фракционирование редкоземельных элементов в мантии кратонов

О.В. Арясова, Я.М. Хазан

Abstract
Rare earth element (REE) abundances in clinopyroxene and garnet from xenoliths entrained by kimberlites of the Kaapvaal craton, South Africa, and the Somerset Island, Canada, show a strong and species-dependent variation vs. pressure in a depth range of 70 to 200 km. As a result, the interelement ratios of the REE vary across the upper mantle. This effect can be referred to as a REE large-scale space fractionation. Based upon a strong correlation between the activation energies of the REE diffusion in clinopyroxene, and the logarithmic slopes Γ of the abundance vs. pressure dependence, Γ = –d log C(P)/dP, we speculate that the space fractionation had accompanied mantle melting events and was due to a nonequilibrium REE partition between the melt and the solid residue. A simplified model of the mantle partial melting, which takes into account a PT dependent diffusive exchange between the melt and the multimineral solid residue and a non-modal character of peridotite melting indicates that the observed strong fractionation is resulted from a high degree (10–20%) partial melting of a depleted peridotite (a few wt% of clinopyroxene).
