Abstract: | Whole rock abundances of Sc, Co and total Fe are presented for the Fen carbonatite complex. Average Sc and Co abundances are as follows: urtites (Sc = 1.8 ppm; Co. 5.5 ppm), ijolites (6.6; 25), silicocarbonatites (3.2; 12.2), søvites (3.5, 8.6), damtjernites (24; 57), vipetoites (5.2, 36), rauhaugites (15, 26), rødberg (61, 28). With in the ijolite-søvite series Sc decreases with degree of differentiation due to removal of pyroxene and garnet. In the damtjernite-rødberg series Sc increases with differentiation due to concentration by volatiles involved in the metasomatic conversion of damtjernite to rødberg. Data for the ijolite-søvite series is opposite to trends for this series found in the Oka carbonatite complex. |
