Volcanics of Neoproterozoic Ophiolites Kalgyn Massif (Northeast Asia): New Geochemical and Isotopic Data.

The Kalgyn ophiolite massif is a unit of the ophiolite association of the Chersky collision belt. It is the part of the Verkhoyansk–Kolyma folded system on Northeast Asia. The Kalgyn massif includes a complex of mantle peridotites, a lower crustal complex, represented by ultrabasic cumulates, cumulative gabbro-amphibolites and amphibolites, and an upper crustal complex represented by metabasalts. New geochemical data, obtained by the ICP-MS method and data on the isotopic composition (Sm, Nd), made it possible to significantly clarify the geodynamic conditions for the formation of volcanics and to determine the features of the sources of parent melts.
