Abstract | Carbonatites are widely recognized for their potential to host significant deposits of rare earth elements (REEs) and other rare metals. These igneous rocks, characterized by their high carbonate mineral content, are often rich in REEs, niobium, tantalum, and other valuable elements. This makes carbonatites key targets for mining and exploration. Carbonatites are believed to form from either primary carbonate magma derived directly from the mantle or from secondary melts. These secondary melts can originate from carbonated silicate magmas through liquid immiscibility or from the residual melts resulting from the fractional crystallization of silicate magmas. The coexistence of carbonatites and alkaline silicate rocks in most complexes, their coeval emplacement in many, and overlapping initial 87Sr/86Sr ratios supports the theory of their cogenesis. In this study, we aim to investigate the trace element geochemistry of carbonatites and coeval alkaline silicate rocks from the Mundwara Igneous Complex, Sirohi district, Rajasthan in India. Our trace element data indicate that the carbonatites and alkaline silicate rocks in this complex are products of fractional crystallization from two separate parental melts, formed through liquid immiscibility of a carbonated alkaline silicate magma. |
