Physicochemical parameters of crystallization differentiation and Fe–Ti ore-forming processes in the magmatic system of the Elet’ozero massif (Northern Karelia)
Аннотация
The rocks of the Elet’ozero intrusion are characterized by high relative abundances of incompatible elements, with (La/Lu)N varying from 2.1 to 36.6, and a distinct positive Ba anomaly, which may record crystallization of Ba minerals during the formation of mafic rocks. The anomalous Ba enrichment is probably associated with a large-scale fluid-mediated mass transfer during subduction of a lithospheric slab within the Karelian craton which was synchronous with the generation of magmas parental to the Elet’ozero pluton. The presence of Al-rich spinel in gabbroic rocks as early-formed magmatic phases suggests crystallization at relatively high pressures (~0.5 GPa or ~15 km depth). The oxygen fugacity changed with time during the evolution of the magmatic system, approaching its maximum values (approximately 1.5 log units above the quartz–fayalite–magnetite buffer) during extensive crystallization of Fe–Тi oxides. High oxygen fugacities, Ti enrichment of mafic rocks, and lack of any positive correlation between Mg-numbers and Ni content in olivine can be useful indicators of potentially mineralized mafic intrusions.

Ninetyeast ridge: Magmatism and geodynamics
Аннотация
The study of magmatism and tectonic structure of the East Indian or Ninetyeast Ridge (NER) reveals the geochemical similarity of mantle sources for the NER and Kerguelen Plateau melts. Magmas related to the Kerguelen plume were derived from an enriched mantle source, whereas the NER tholeiitic basalts originated from a source contaminated by a depleted material. While, depleted basalt varieties were not found within the NER basalts. It was shown that magmatic rocks forming the NER were generated by high degrees (30%) of partial melting within the ancient Wharton spreading ridge due to the activity of the Kerguelen plume, which was located at this time in the vicinity of the ridge. The most significant impact of the plume on the NER structures was recorded at 70–50 Ma ago.

Comparative analysis of pelagic Pleistocene silica accumulation in the Pacific and Indian Oceans
Аннотация
The methodical principles of the analysis of biogenic silica accumulation in the pelagic zones of the Pacific and Indian oceans are considered. Two quantitative approaches of lithological analysis are compared: method of absolute mass by A.D. Arkhangel’skii and volumetric method by A.B. Ronov. It is established that the concept of “two oceans” (“ice” and “non-ice”) may be applied to both the oceans. Differences in the evolution of the silica accumulation rate in the Pleistocene between high- and low-latitude oceans are revealed.

Heterogeneity of grain-size fractions of nanodiamonds from the Orgueil C1 meteorite
Аннотация
A model for the composition of meteoritic nanodiamonds is suggested based on analysis of the concentrations and isotopic compositions of C, N, and Xe in the nanodiamond-rich grain-size fractions, which were separated for the first time from the Orgueil CI chondrite. According to the model, meteoritic nanodiamond consists of two populations of grains (denoted CHL and CN). The size distributions of grains in populations in the CHL and CN populations are different: the CHL population is finer grained than CN. The grains of the CHL population are characterized by a radial gradient in the carbon isotopic composition, and they contain implanted anomalous noble gases (HL component) and the heavy nitrogen isotope 15N. Following (Clayton et al., 1995), the probable astrophysical source of this population of nanodiamond grains is thought to be the mixing helium and hydrogen shells of a Type-II supernova, and the mechanism that produced these grains was the slow CVD process. The CN population grains have homogeneous isotopic compositions of carbon (δ13C ≡–100‰) and nitrogen (δ15N ≡–400‰) and contain almost all nitrogen of the nanodiamond-rich fractions. This population of nanodiamond grains was likely formed by a fast unequilibrated process, when shock waves affected organic compounds or gas rich in C- and N-bearing compounds during the early evolution of the protosolar nebula. Calculations within the framework of the model show that the nanodiamond-rich fractions separated from the Orgueil meteorite have the CN/CHL ratios varying from 1 in the finest grained fraction to 10 in the coarse-grained one. At these proportions of the populations, weighted mean δ13C values of CHL grains in the fractions lie within the range of 42 to 394‰, and the concentrations of 132Xe-HL and 15N are (49–563) × 10–8 cm3/gC and (1.1–6.2) × 10–5 cm3/gC, respectively.
