Реферат: | eng: The study of clinopyroxenes and melt inclusions provided direct (independent on secondary alteration) information on the petrogenesis of the island arc complexes of the Chara zone, East Kazakhstan. It was shown that magmatism of this zone evolved from primitive island-arc systems with boninites to mature island arc with calc-alkaline melts. In terms of trace and rare-earth element distribution, the melt inclusions in the clinopyroxenes of the Chara zone differ from mid-ocean ridge basalts, being closer to the island-arc calcalkaline series. Based on inclusion composition, the parental melts of the considered complexes crystallized within 1150-1190°C with decreasing iron, magnesium, calcium, and sodium contents. Simulation based on melt inclusion data in clinopyroxenes indicates that the melts contained up to 1 wt % water, which was confirmed by direct ion-microprobe determination of 0.84 wt % H2O in the inclusions. Calculated liquidus temperatures are consistent with homogenization temperatures of the inclusions. Our calculations on the basis of inclusion data testify that the primary melts of the studied basaltic series of the Chara zone were generated from the mantle protolith within temperatures of 1350-1530°C at depths of 50-95 km. Similar parameters are typical of the generation of the tholeiitic and boninitic island-arc magmas in the modern ocean-continent transition zones of the Pacific type. In general, the study of clinopyroxenes and melt inclusions suggests that the considered complexes of the Chara zone were formed with the participation of tholeiitic and calcalkaline volcanogenic systems of basaltic, basaltic andesite, and, possibly, boninitic composition in the paleogeodynamic setting of evolving ancient island arc. © 2010 Pleiades Publishing, Ltd.
