摘要

Volcanic rocks located within the northern Kandalaksha-Kolvitsa granulite belt represent a phase of post-collisional magmatism related to the final stage of the Paleoproterozoic evolution of the Lapland-Kola Orogen (LKO). This article presents a geological, petrographic, mineralogical, and geochemical study, as well as U–Pb dating of the volcanic rocks. These rocks form a lens-shaped body measuring 1500 × 150 − 400 m, overlying a Paleoproterozoic intrusion of leucocratic metagabbro. The main rock-forming minerals of the volcanic rocks are represented by calcium amphiboles such as pargasite and ferropargasite (phenocrysts), magnesio-ferri-hornblende, ferro-hornblende, and magnesio-hornblende (groundmass), as well as plagioclase (labradorite and andesine). Geochemically, the volcanic rocks belong to the tholeiitic ferrous basalt-andesite series with SiO2 contents ranging from 49 to 57 wt% and Fe# values (Fe# = 100 × FeOtot/(FeOtot + MgO)) of 62–78%. They are enriched in light rare earth elements, depleted in high-field strength elements, and exhibit positive anomalies of large-ion lithophile elements. Based on rare earth elements ratios, the parental magma of the volcanic rocks formed through decompression-induced partial (~ 5%) melting of mantle spinel lherzolites. The results indicate that the magmatic episode responsible for the formation of the volcanic rocks occurred at ~ 1.88 Ga as a result of extension following the completion of continental collision and subduction in the LKO. This magmatic event marks the end of granulite metamorphism and deformation in the northeastern Fennoscandian Shield.
