Popis: | The major, trace and rare earth element distributions as well as the contrast to the lead data, the Nd–Sr isotope data show a clear Nd, Sr, Pb, C and O isotope geochemistry of four carbonatite signature of a mantle source excluding crustal contamination. The occurrences (Sevattur, Jogipatti, Samalpatti, Pakkanadu) from Tamil data are compatible with either an EM I-like mantle component Nadu, southern India, have been investigated. The majority of these 800 my ago or a mixing process between two mantle reservoirs. carbonatites are highly enriched in light rare earth elements (LREE) and exhibit stable isotope patterns similar to those reported for primary mantle-derived carbonatitic melts. In Sevattur, a welldefined lead/lead isochron yields an age of 801 ± 11 Ma for ankeritic carbonatites. Most of the samples from the other Tamil |
