Abstract
Geochemical and isotopic studies showed that the Late Cretaceous-Early Paleocene magmatic rocks of northern Kamchatka were formed in different geodynamic zones of a Late Cretaceous-Early Paleocene suprasubduction system: from a volcanic front to a back-arc rift basin. Suprasubduction magmas were derived from upper mantle garnet or spinel lherzolites variably depleted in terms of Nd isotopic composition or enriched in HFSE and showing varying Th/La, Th/Ta, Zr/Nb, and Nb/U ratios. Subduction-related fluids played an active role in this process. The suprasubduction mantle melts were not contaminated by crustal materials enriched in radiogenic Nd. A weak imprint of contamination was identified only in the lavas of Karaginsky Island.
