Abstract
It is shown that Mesozoic pipes of the Orto-Yarginskoe field refer to the lamprophyre(ailykite)carbonatite type of rock parageneses without kimberlites in their composition. Amphiboles are indispensable part of all field rocks varieties and form the following evolution series: ferrinyboite → magnesiotaramite + magnesiocatophorite → magnesiohastigsite. The occurrence of sodium amphiboles at the early stages of crystallization is conditioned by the significant amounts of CO2 in SiO2 saturated initial melt. Lamprophyres and carbonatites are formed during ferrinyboite fractionation from the melt, which composition is limited by the following values of basic oxides concentrations: SiO2=40–42 %, Al2O3=7–8 %, MgO=10 %, CaO=5–7 %, Na2O~1 %, K2O=2–4 %. Na-Ca and Ca-amphiboles occur as equilibrium crystalline phases in all varieties of Ort-Yarginskoe field rocks. Morphological and chemical characteristics of these amphiboles suggest the miscibility gap in the isomorphous series magnesiocotaphorite-magnesiohastingsite. Literature review demonstrates that formation of lamprophyre-carbonatite series is followed by kimberlite magmatism at the adjacent territories synchronous in time, it therefore suggests possible existence of Mesozoic (Jurassic) kimberlites with productive diamond contents in the northern segment of the eastern slope of the Anabar uplift.
