Abstract

Structure of mantle keel beneath Siberian craton was determined for mantle terranes using monomineral thermobarometry and database of EPMA analyses (>80000). Geochemical features of the minerals have been determined by LA ICP MS. Mantle sections consist of 6–7 paleo-subducted slab separated by pyroxenite, eclogite and dunite lenses, disturbed by later plume melt intrusion accompanied by metasomatism and melting. The cross-sections and long transects show the differences between terranes compiled by microplates in Archean. Extended sub-meridional structures of crust tectonic terranes are not always confirmed on the mantle level. Under the Anabar and Aldan shields mantle sections are coarser and consist of 3–4 large horizons of dunites, with pyroxenite and metasomatic lenses. Suture zones between protocratons are saturated with eclogites. Pyroxenite layer at the level of 3.5–4.5 GPa appeared in Early Archean when eclogites were melted at 130 km. In Early Archean protocratons: granite-greenstone terranes–Tunguska, Markha, Berekte and Sharyzhalgai mantle lithosphere is less depleted and often metasomatized. The Daldyn and Magan granulite-orthogneiss terranes have a layered structure of ML with folds, manifested in sections from north to south from Udachnaya to Krasnopresnenskaya. Metasomatism and alkalinity of pyroxenes and the amount of phlogopite are growing from Daldyn to Alakit fields. The most productive confined to the dunite cores. In Magan terrane, the thin layering of the craton keel is replaced by depleted productive horizon at the lithosphere base. In granite-greenstone Markha eclogites (metapelitic) assume subduction of continental sediments. Gentle tilting to the west dominate of mantle structures.
