Composition of the Parental Melts for the Intrusions

  • Chapter
Siberian Traps and Pt-Cu-Ni Deposits in the Noril’sk Area

Abstract

The compositions of the initial melts of the ore-bearing intrusions were studied based on the inclusions in the olivines and pyroxenes (major, rare, and volatile components). These have compositions approximating those of the rocks. The magmas contained 0.5–0.7 % H2O, up to 0.2 % Cl, and 300 ppm F. The magma composition of the Talnakh intrusion was estimated with the aid of KOMAGMAT software. It was demonstrated that the magma contained 10 % olivine and 7 % plagioclase crystals and that MgO content in melt was 8 wt %.
