This study investigates the geochemistry of lamprophyres and syenites from different areas of the Chuya Complex, focusing on the isotope and trace element compositions. The main question is to determine the sources or reasons for the differences observed. The study explores three hypotheses: different crustal contaminated material, different mantle source characteristics or heterogeneity, and different proportions of two sources in the mixing process or different stages of mantle metasomatism. The results show overlapping fields in terms of composition, but diverse isotopic compositions. The study proposes a binary system of mixing to explain the differences observed. No evidence of crustal contamination or hydrothermal alteration was found. The investigation suggests that the origins of the Chuya Complex rocks involved processes of fraction crystallization, contamination, and liquation. The main factors altering the isotopy were contamination or mixing. The study concludes that the Chuya Complex has a complex origin, and further research is needed to understand the sources and processes involved.

So this hypothesis can certify the differences in Sr and Nd isotopic ratios. And similarity in form of REE and RE patterns could be explained by low degree of melting of mantle sources.

Isotope and trace element geochemistry of lamprophyres and syenites from different areas of Chuya complex Elena Vasyukova, Novosibirsk state university, Institute of Geology and Mineralogy SB RAS, Novosibirsk, Russia Crustal contamination is questionable in general. Geological forms (means explosive pipes) and zonal phenocrysts confirm high fluid saturations of lamprophyre dikes and high velocities of magma lifting. It means that crust fragments couldn’t dissolve in the amount, that could shift the isotope characteristics. High crystallization time let only scarification of xenoliths. The only heterogenic in the rocks is the ocelli. Their round form, high amount of carbonate outside the ocelli, and phenocrysts crossed their boundary, silicate composition, equal to the ground mass of the rock discard the possibility their crust genesis. Another objects that could indicate crust contamination had not been found.

Isotope and trace element geochemistry of lamprophyres and syenites from different areas of Chuya complex Elena Vasyukova, Novosibirsk state university, Institute of Geology and Mineralogy SB RAS, Novosibirsk, Russia Conclusion We have presented a general model describing the changes of the isotopic composition in lamprophyres and related rocks because of the mixing process in multicomponent mantle source. This is the first announce, where the critical differences in Sr/Nd isotope composition of simultaneous rocks of the Chuya complex are shown. This model can be used in next researches as a base for the mixing hypothesis. It is especially important for the study of mineralization associated with lamprophyres. The adoption of this hypothesis removes the question of the genetic relationship of the primary fluid which is separated from the melt, forming lamprophyres.
