Giant Rare Earth Element Accumulation Related to Voluminous, Highly Evolved Carbonatite: A Microanalytical Study of Carbonate Minerals From the Bayan Obo Deposit, China

Economic Geology
The giant Bayan Obo deposit in China represents the largest rare earth element (REE) resource in the world, but the mechanisms for its highly anomalous REE enrichment have long been controversial.

An Introduction to Carbonatites and Carbonatite Complexes

2018
The Alno igneous complex intruded local migmatites and granite country-rocks of Svecofennian age at ~580 Ma and produced a suite of early alkaline silicate intrusives (e.g., ijolites, nepheline syenites) and dykes (e.g., trachytes, phonolites) and later a suite of carbonatite sheet intrusions for which Alno is widely known.

The Primary Geology of the Paleoproterozoic MT Weld Carbonatite Complex, Western Australia

Journal of Petrology
The paleoregolith overlying the c. 2.06 Ga Mt Weld carbonatite (eastern Yilgarn Craton, Western Australia) hosts one of the largest Rare Earth Element (REE) deposits globally.

Multiphase carbonatite-related magmatic and metasomatic processes in the genesis of the ore-hosting dolomite in the giant Bayan Obo REE-Nb-Fe deposit

, 2020
The origin of dolomite that hosts the Bayan Obo REE-Nb-Fe deposit (57.4 Mt.@6% REE2O3, 2.16 Mt.@0.13% Nb2O5, and >1500 Mt.@35% iron oxides) has been controversial for decades, but it is integral to understanding of the genesis of this giant deposit.

Properties of Carbonatite Magma and Processes in Carbonatite Magma Chambers

The Journal of Geology, 1983
The physical and thermal properties of carbonatite magmas are estimated by analogy with alkali carbonate melts, which are ionic liquids, composed of discrete, unpolymerized ions. Carbonatite magmas are estimated to have low viscosity (on the order of 5 × 10-2 poise), low heat of fusion (175 J/gm), and large thermal diffusivity (4 × 10-3 J/cm-sec-K ...

Carbon–Strontium Isotope Decoupling in Carbonatites from Caotan (Qinling, China): Implications for the Origin of Calcite Carbonatite in Orogenic Settings

, 2020
Mantle-derived carbonatites emplaced in orogenic belts and some extensional settings are hypothesized to contain recycled crustal material. However, these carbonatites are typically composed of calcite showing a typical mantle range of C–O isotopic ...

Carbonatite magmas

Mineralogical Magazine, 1981
AbstractNormal carbonatite magmas are characteristically associated with ijolites and produce extensive fenitization by alkali metasomatism, commonly feldspathization or phlogopitization. The sequence of carbonatites developed from this magma are characterized by igneous isotopic ratios, high contents of incompatible elements, their distinctive pattern

A model for the formation of carbonatite-phoscorite assemblages based on the compositional variations of mica and apatite from the Palabora Carbonatite Complex, South Africa

Lithos, 2019
A detailed electron microprobe study has been carried out on the compositional variations of mica and apatite from carbonatites, phoscorites and associated pyroxenites (and fenites) of the Loolekop deposit, Palabora Carbonatite Complex (South Africa ...

Geochemical and spectroscopic investigation of apatite in the Siilinjärvi carbonatite complex: Keys to understanding apatite forming processes and assessing potential for rare earth elements

, 2020
The Siilinjarvi phosphate deposit (Finland) is hosted by an Archean carbonatite complex. The main body is composed of glimmerite, carbonatite and combinations thereof. It is surrounded by a well-developed fenitization zone.

Carbonatites in Kivu

Nature, 1957
IN 1952 1 one of us described specimens of syenitic and carbonate rocks collected in northern Kivu, near the south-western termination of the Lake Edward Rift, by Borgniez, in 1938 2. The junior author has recently had the opportunity of revisiting the locality and has established the carbonatitic nature of the carbonate rocks.
