We have studied variations in the structure and composition of minerals from the pipes of the Yakutian kimberlite province (YKP) in different mantle terranes of the Siberian craton. The study was based on an extensive database, including the microprobe analysis datasets consolidated by IGM, IG, IEC and IGDNM SB RAS and ALROSA and geochemical analysis of minerals performed by LA-ICP-MS (Laser Ablation Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry). The reconstruction shows layering under the tubes, including 6-7 slab that were probably formed due to subduction; the slabs are separated by pyroxenitic, eclogitic and metasomatic layers and dunite lenses. Transects and mantle profiles across kimberlite fields are constructed. Within the limits of the revealed tectonic terranes, we assume a collage of microplates formed in the early-middle Archean. Extended submeridional structures of the tectonic terranes are not always confirmed at the mantle level. Beneath the Anabar and Aldan shields, the mantle sections show more coarse layers and 3-4 large horizons of dunites with garnet and pyroxene nests separated by ilmenite-phlogopite metasomatites and pyroxenites. Terranes representing the suture zones between the protocratons (e.g. Khapchan) are often saturated with eclogites and pyroxenites that may occur as leghthy ascending bodies of magmatic eclogites penetrating through the mantle lithosphere structure (ML). A nearly ubiquitous pyroxenite layer at the level of 3.5-4.5 GPa formed probably in the early Archean with a high heat flux during melting of eclogites and was subsequently traced by plume melts. Within the early Archean protocratons-granite-greenstone terranes (Tungus, Markha, Berekta, and Sharyzhalgai, ~3.8-3.0 Gyr [Gladkochub et al., 2019], the mantle lithosphere is less depleted and largely metasomatized. The ML structure of the Daldyn and Magan granulite-orthogneiss terranes is layered with folding revealed in the north-to-south sections from the Udachnaya pipe to the Krasnopresnenskaya pipe, which is less pronounced in the latitudinal direction. From the Daldyn field to the Alakit field, there is an increase in the degree of metasomatism, and higher alkalinity of pyroxenes and larger amounts of phlogopite are noted. The most productive Aikhal and Yubileinaya pipes are confined to a dunite core, which is accompanied by a change in the specialization of high-charge elements Ta-Nb to Zr-Hf.

a b s t r a c tMantle xenocrysts from early Triassic kimberlite pipes from Kharamai, Ary-Mastakh and Kuranakh fields in the Anabar shield of Siberia revealing similar compositional trends were studied to estimate the superplume influence on the subcratonic lithosphere mantle (SCLM). Pressure-temperature (PT) reconstructions using monomineral thermobarometry for 5 phases show division of the SCLM beneath the Kharamai field into 6 units: pyroxenitic Fe-rich (1e2 GPa) and Mg-rich (2e3 GPa) layers; middle with two levels of Gar-Sp pyroxenites at w3 and 4e5 GPa; Gar-duniteeharzburgites w4.5e6.5 GPa subjected to Ilm-Px vein metasomatism; and a Mg-rich dunite lower part. In the Anabar shield (Ary-Mastakh, Dyuken and Kuranakh fields) mantle lithosphere is composed of three large units divided into two parts: upper part with amphiboles and phlogopite; two levels of pyroxenites and eclogites at 3 and 4 GPa, and a lower part composed of refertilized dunites. Diagrams showing P-Fe # Gar clusters for garnets and omphacites illustrate the differences between SCLM of these localities. Differences of Triassic SCLM from Devonian SCLM are in simple layering; abundance of Na-Cr-amphiboles and metasomatism in the upper SCLM part, thick pyroxenite-eclogite layer and lower part depletion, heated from SCLM base to 5.0 GPa.Kharamai mantle clinopyroxenes represent three geochemical types: (1) harzburgitic with inclined linear REE, HFSE troughs and elevated Th, U; (2) lherzolitic or pyroxenitic with round TRE patterns and decreasing incompatible elements; (3) eclogitic with Eu troughs, Pb peak and high LILE content. Calculated parental melts for garnets with humped REE patterns suggest dissolution of former Cpx and depression means Cpx and garnets extraction. Clinopyroxenes from Ary-Mastakh fields show less inclined REE patterns with HMREE troughs and an increase of incompatible elements. Clinopyroxenes from Kuranakh field show flatter spoon-like REE patterns and peaks in Ba, U, Pb and Sr, similar to those in ophiolitic harzburgites. The PT diagrams for the mantle sections show high temperature gradients in the uppermost SCLM accompanied by an increase of P-Fe # Ol upward and slightly reduced thickness of the mantle keel of the Siberian craton, resulting from the influence of the PermianeTriassic superplume, but with no signs of delamination.Ó 2015, China University of Geosciences (Beijing) and Peking University.
