Abstract

The Archean Complex homologs of the Kola superdeep borehole (SG-3) were identified in the northern part of the White Sea mobile belt. Tonalite-trondhjemite-granodiorite gneisses of the Voche-Lambina test site and metavolcanic dacite-rhyodacite rocks of the borehole SG-3 were formed at the stages of 2.97–2.82, ∼2.81, and 2.78–2.79 Ga. The Sm-Nd model ages of the studied rocks do not exceed 3.1 Ga, and their positive ɛNd(t) values vary from +0.5 to +3.34. They are characterized by Mg# = 0.20−0.44, similar concentrations (HFSE) of Zr, Nb, Y, and also Rb, Cr, and Ni, and sharply differentiated spectra of the REE distribution (Ce/Sm = 3.2−5.8; Gd/Yb = 2.6−7.1). Primary melts were formed in balance with garnetamphibole restite under P ≥ 15−16 kbar.
