GEOLOGICAL SETTING AND GENESIS OF THE KURMANSKY GABBRO-TRONDHJEMITE MASSIF (MIDDLE URALS)

This paper reports the results of petrogeochemical studies of the Kurmansky gabbro-trondhjemite massif (eastern slope of the Middle Urals), lying in the western part of the large Reftinsky allochthonous block within the accretion East Uralian megazone. The relevance of this study is determined by the uncertainty in geodynamic setting and formation conditions of the rock massif and its role in the evolution of the Ural Mobile belt. We specified the countours of the massif. It is shown that the rocks were resulted from spatiotemporal convergence of partial melting in the mantle and lower crust at the island-arc stage of the Ural Mobile belt evolution. Partial melting of mantle peridotite, under the influence of an aqueous fluid rising from the subduction zone, initiated the occurrence of basite melts. The separation of the melt and its subsequent evolution to the compositions of gabbrodiorite and diorite took place at P_tot=10 kbar. Trondhjemites were formed as a result of partial melting of amphibolites at P_tot≥8 kbar, P_H2O=0.1–0.2 kbars. The crystallization of trondhjemites in the crust was accompanied by the wollastonite skarns on contact with carbonate rock and xenoliths culminated at mesoabyssal level, P_tot=P_H2O=1 kbar. The comparison between the composition of Kurmansky gabbro-trondhjemite massif and the island-arc- and collision-related magmatic suites in the region allowed us to assume that the Kurmansky massif belongs to the independent Early Devonian (?) gabbro-trondhjemite complex of island arc origin. The rock metamorphism conditions were evaluated, with the transformations supposedly related to the accretion of early island arc complexes at the Murzinsky-Aduysky microcontinent, which took place in the Devonian.
