Magnesium and zinc isotopic evidence for the involvement of recycled carbonates in the petrogenesis of Gaussberg lamproites, Antarctica
Lamproites are rare mantle-derived peralkaline ultrapotassic rocks, and they are commonly geographically associated with the ultramafic lamprophyres and kimberlites. Their unique geochemistry and mineralogy make determining their mantle source and origin important because of the significance for inf...

Lamproites are rare mantle-derived peralkaline ultrapotassic rocks, and they are commonly geographically associated with the ultramafic lamprophyres and kimberlites. Their unique geochemistry and mineralogy make determining their mantle source and origin important because of the significance for inferring specific geodynamic processes. In this study, we further examine lamproite petrogenesis using new Mg and Zn isotopic data for the typical Gaussberg lamproites, Antarctica, the source of which were thought to be contributed by recycled crustal materials. Results show that these lamproites have lower δ 26 Mg (−0.44‰ to −0.39‰) and higher δ 66 Zn (0.36‰ to 0.39‰) values than terrestrial mantle (δ 26 Mg = −0.25 ± 0.04‰, δ 66 Zn = 0.18 ± 0.05‰). The post-magmatic alteration and crustal contamination as well as fractional crystallization and partial melting cannot account for these anomalous Mg and Zn isotopic values. By contrast, the involvement of sedimentary carbonates which are characterized by light δ 26 Mg (average approximately −2.0‰) and heavy δ 66 Zn (average ~ +0.91‰) values in their mantle source can explain these Mg and Zn isotopic anomalies.
