About CarbonatiteHide

An igneous rock containing more than 50% modal primary carbonate.

A carbonate rock of apparent magmatic origin, generally associated with kimberlites and alkalic rocks. Carbonatites have been variously explained as derived from magmatic melt, solid flow, hydrothermal solution, and gaseous transfer.

More than 600 carbonatites worldwide are spatially and temporally associated with silicate rocks, which contributes to the formation of carbonatite-silicate complexes originating from mantle. However, only a minority of these carbonatites evolve into large to giant rare earth element (REE) deposits. The formation mechanisms of carbonatite-associated REE deposits (CARDs) are primarily attributed to liquid immiscibility. Nonetheless, experimental petrology has discussed the REE distribution coefficients (DCarb/Sil) during liquid immiscibility, yet lacks quantification of the difference of the natural deposits. Moreover, the magma source of carbonatites and silicate rocks from these deposits is derived from the mantle, and the geochemical indexes can support further evidence.
