Textures and geochemistry of the Saramta peridotites (Siberian craton): Melting and refertilization during early evolution of the continental lithospheric mantle

► Textural and geochemical data from the Saramta peridotites in the Sharyzhalgai complex (SW margin of the Siberian craton) are presented. ► The Saramta harzburgites are highly refractory and have a pronounced cratonic peridotite affinity. ► Obtained data suggest interaction of peridotites with SiO2-rich melt. ► Model of fractional melting and refertilization by arc melts is proposed.
