Zusammenfassung

The Moho Transition Zone (MTZ) in the Moa-Baracoa Ophiolitic Massif (Eastern Cuba) hosts numerous gabbroic bodies crosscutting chromitite bodies and the associated peridotites. In the Potosí deposit there is evidence of HFSE-bearing minerals in the interaction zone between pegmatitic gabbro intrusions and the pre-existing chromitite bodies. These minerals are: Ti-rich amphibole, Mg-rich ilmenite hosting Zr oxide inclusions such as baddeleyite, srilankite, and zirconolite, and zircon coronas surrounding the ilmenite grains. In addition to the HFSE-minerals, the minerals forming the interaction zone are Fe3+ - and Ti-rich recrystallized chromite, olivine, clinopyroxene, plagioclase, orthopyroxene, F-rich apatite, and Fe-Ni sulfides. We propose that the mineral assemblage observed in Potosí formed after: (1) crystallization of and evolved MORB (BAB- B)-like melt producing residual water-rich melts enriched in HFSE, and (2) reaction of the residual melts with the surroun- ding chromitites in a closed system triggering the Fe-Ti-Zr modal metasomatism. Dating of baddeleyite crystals (134.4 ± 14 Ma) indicate that the age of the metasomatic event matches (within uncertainty) the formation age form the oceanic crust of the eastern Cuba ophiolite.
