On the genesis of apatite deposits of the Khibiny massif
Abstract
Despite prolonged study, many questions of the genesis of apatite deposits of the Khibiny massif are still unclear or debatable. Referring the reader to a thorough review of the views of various researchers, provided in the work of T. N. Ivanova, we will briefly dwell on the two main directions of development of these views. Most researchers consider apatite‑nepheline ores as magmatic formations. Some of them believe that apatite‑nepheline ores formed simultaneously with the host rocks as a result of liquation or crystal differentiation of alkaline magma in situ. Others believe that the apatite‑nepheline ores were formed by intrusion of an independent (phosphorus‑rich) magma. It is this viewpoint that has recently been preferred.
