AbstractAbstract
[en] Petrographic features and geochemical traits accord cumulate status to the rocks and they do not represent melt compositions. Parental melt REE concentrations are calculated by utilising exploratory geochemical inversion techniques. The calculated parental liquids display enriched LREE and flat HREE trends. The variation in the concentrations of REE calculated from different cumulate rocks represents progressive evolution of a parental magma by fractional crystallization. Petrogenetic modelling suggests that the parental liquids are derived by 5 to 10% melting of an LREE enriched komatiite/tholeiite source in the deep crust. This source could be an underplated Late Archaean crust and this deep crustal melting might have been induced by the heat released from a mantle plume
