Vv. Chashchin, ON THE PECULARITIES OF ORTHO-PYROXENE CHE MICAL EVOLUTION OF NICKEL BEARING BASITE-HYPERBASITE SERIES OF THE KOLA-PENINSULA, Geohimia, (3), 1995, pp. 349-365
The pecularities of isomorphism and chemical evolution of the orthopyr
oxenes of nickel bearing basite-hyperbasite series of the Kola peninsu
la were studied. It was shown that the predominant isomorphic substitu
tion of Mg and ferrous iron ale characteristic of all orthopyroxenes o
f nickel bearing series and is interpreted as a function of lock compo
sitional variations. Every nickel bearing series are also characterise
d with peculiar isomorphic types depending on different conditions of
mineral formation and secondary alteration processes.
