Abstract
The oxygen isotopic composition was studied in minerals and rocks from the critical zone of the Ioko-Dovyren layered pluton. The δ18O values vary from +5.4 to +6.1‰ in rocks, from +4.8 to +5.8‰ in olivine, from +5.5 to 6.5‰ in pyroxene, and from +5.8 to +6.9‰ in plagioclase and fall into the interval of mantle values for continental mafic and ultramafic rocks. A decrease in δ18O could have been caused by penetration of meteoric water. Postmagmatic (retrograde) oxygen isotopic redistribution in the slowly cooling rocks is responsible for disturbance of oxygen isotope equilibria in the coexisting minerals, which were crystallized from the same magma at a high temperature. The nonequilibrium oxygen isotopic composition in the associated minerals and calculated temperature of the final isotopic equilibration do not contradict the model of “fluid” formation of low-sulfide PGE mineralization in the Ioko-Dovyren layered pluton.
