          Abstract

          Los xenolitos ultramáficos recolectados en la Estancia Poklepovic, provincia de Santa Cruz, comprenden lherzolitas, harzburgitas y wehrlitas y se encuentran alojados en lavas alcalinas y conos cineríticos. La mayoría de los xenolitos contienen vidrio en venillas y/o bolsillos de fundido y la gran mayoría comprende además anfíbol, mica o ambas. El metasomatismo crítptico se manifiesta por el enriquecimento en tierras raras livianas en los análisis de roca total en muestras sin fases minerales hidratadas, bolsillos de fundido, ni venillas con vidrio. El metasomatismo modal es evidente en muestras con fases minerales hidratadas, bolsillos de fundido o venillas con vidrio y se refleja en la química de roca total, que muestra concentraciones elevadas de los elementos incompatibles. Las relaciones texturales permiten considerar al menos dos eventos metasomáticos claramente diferenciables. El primero produce la cristalización de anfíbol y mica y el otro es responsable del desarrollo de los bolsillos de fundido. La presencia de venillas con vidrio (± carbonato) en muestras en las que no se han identificado bolsillos de fundido sugiere que las mismas podrían ser el resultado de un evento metasomático distinto. Las evidencias texturales indican que al menos parte del carbonato presente en estos xenolitos precipitó a partir de aguas meteóricas ricas en carbonato.

          Translated abstract

          Ultramafic xenoliths from Estancia Poklepovic, Santa Cruz province, comprise lherzolites, harzburgites and wehrlites, hosted by alkaline lavas and cinder cones. Most of the samples carry glass veins and/or melt pockets and most of them also bear amphibol, mica or both. Criptic metasomatism is demonstrated by enrichment of light rare earth elements in bulk rock analyses of samples devoid of hydrous phases, melt pockets and glass veins. Modal metasomatism is evident in samples carrying hydrous phases, melt pockets and glass veins, which led to high contents of incompatible elements in bulk rock analyses. Textural evidences suggest that two metasomatic events affected this part of the mantle. One event allowed the crystallization of amphibol and mica, and the second is responsible for the melt pockets. The presence of glass veins (± carbonate) in samples devoid of melt pockets may be the result of a different metasomatic episode. Textural evidences demonstrate that at least part of the carbonate was precipitated by carbonate-rich meteoric water.
