Abstract

The study provides whole-rock geochemical and Rb-Sr and Sm-Nd isotope examinations of Permian-Triassic volcanics (basalts, basaltic andesites) and sills (trachydolerites, monzodiorites) from the Kuznetsk Basin, which is part of the Siberian Large Igneous Province. It is shown that the volcanic section of the Kuznetsk Basin consists of the Lower (I and II units: TiO2 = 1.6–1.9 wt.%, Gd/Yb = 2.0–2.1) and Upper (III–VIII units: TiO2 = 1.4–1.8 wt.%, Gd/Yb = 1.7–1.9) Sequences. The Mayzass sill is geochemically correlated with the Unit II basaltic andesite of the Lower Sequence, and the Syrkashev sill is geochemically akin to the Upper Sequence. The Kuznetsk traps originated from the partial melting of a Sr-Nd isotopically heterogeneous subduction-modified lithospheric mantle. They are geochemically comparable to low-Ti basalts of the low–middle Nadezhdinsky suite from the Noril’sk region, but differ in Sr-Nd isotope composition. The Sr-Nd isotope signatures of the uncontaminated lavas and Syrkashev sill rocks (εNd(T) = (+4.6)–(+2.4), (87Sr/86Sr)T = 0.7047–0.7054) are inherited from the ancient lithospheric mantle and do not represent the contribution of the Siberian plume. The Mayzass sill rocks (εNd(T) = (+2.2)–(+2.1); (87Sr/86Sr)T = 0.7055–0.7063)are derived from a parental melt contaminated with crustal carbonates.
