Abstract
The article reports new data on previously undescribed lamellar-like (linearly oriented) structures in clinopyroxenes from mantle xenoliths of garnet pyroxenites (Obnazhennaya pipe, Northern Siberia). The origin and mineral diversity of lamellar structures in xenoliths from the Obnazhennaya pipe are supposed to be related to a breakdown of solid solutions during a decrease of P–T parameters. Our study shows that metasomatic recrystallization of initial clinopyroxene with linear exsolution structures leads to the formation of new secondary mineral assemblages. The secondary clinopyroxene reproduces (inherits) framework with linearly oriented inclusions, which are morphologically similar to the primary exsolution structures. Thus, the pyroxenite xenoliths from the Obnazhennaya pipe contain two generations of mineral associations with lamellar structures: primary and secondary. The primary association is composed of diopside, containing lamellae of enstatite, pyrope, spinel and rutile. The secondary (metasomatic) clinopyroxene contains half as much Al2O3 (3.4 wt %) and Na2O (1.7 wt %) and is enriched in MgO and CaO compared to the primary clinopyroxene. Nevertheless, the chemical composition of the secondary pyroxene still corresponds to diopside end-member. The metasomatic association comprises aligned pargasite (Al-rich amphibole) instead of orthopyroxene (enstatite) lamellae, and the secondary rutile is enriched in chromium (up to 3.1 wt % Cr2O3) in contrast to rutile from the primary mineral assemblage.
