Abstract

The results of geochemical studies of the diamondiferous suevites of the Kara astrobleme (Pay-Khoy) using a new approach based on “area” microprobe analysis of suevite matrix and consolidated impact melt aggregates with subsequent data processing by multivariate statistic methods are described for the first time. At least three suevite varieties that differ essentially in geomorphology, mineralogy, petrography, and geochemical features have been recognized. The predominant protoliths of the rocks of the target are proposed for these suevite varieties on the basis of integrated data analysis.
