Geochemical characteristics of the late Devonian basaltoids of the Kanin peninsula and the Middle Timan

The petrochemistry and geochemistry of dolerites and basalts of the Late Devonian Kanin-Timan complex of the Kanin Peninsula and the Middle Timan are considered. Petrochemically, the rocks of the Kanin-Timan complex of the Kanin Peninsula and the Tsilma river area of the Middle Timan correspond to basaltoids of the normal range of alkalinity and partially to moderately alkaline varieties, and belong to the tholeiitic series. The least differentiated varieties are dolerites of the southeastern Kanin Peninsula, the most differentiated are the basalts of the river Tsilma of the Middle Timan. The lowest REE concentrations were found in the rocks of the central part of the Kanin Peninsula (36.5-56.8 g/t); in the same samples, the lowest LaN/YbN values were recorded (1.85 and 2.4, respectively), which indicates an increased degree of melting of the source. The highest REE concentrations were found in basalts from the river Tsilma (77.13-88.33 g/t), LaN/YbN values (2.49-2.7, respectively). The influence of the crustal component in the formation of melts from which rocks of the Kanin-Timan complex were formed, was established. The source of the melt was spinel-garnet lherzolite, the degree of melting varied from 10 to 30%. The maximum degree of melting was 30%, at which melts were formed, that gave rise to the least differentiated rocks of the Northern Timan and the central part of the Kanin Peninsula. The mantle source, that gave rise to the melts from which the rocks of the Kanin-Timan complex were formed, was enriched with subduction and crustal components, a similar type of source is characteristic of the basaltoids of the Norilsk trough
