Description
Summary:Crystallization conditions of olivine in dunites of the Guli massif (Siberian Platform) are established using petrological, geochemical, mineralogical and thermobarogeochemical methods. The formation of olivine and chromite from picrite-meimechite ultramafic magmas was followed by the fractionation of clinopyroxenes from basaltic systems with the formation of residual high-alkaline melts. The calculations in PETROLOG and COMAGMAT programs based on the compositions of inclusions and minerals, as well as using olivine-spinel geothermometer, showed that a magmatic system, which was responsible for the formation of dunites of the Guli massif, evolved during the crystallization of olivine in a wide temperature range of 1520–1250 °C in a magma chamber at a depth of about 17 km.
