Abstract

The Kobyuminsky system of grabens was formed in the Early Jurassic within the Verkhoyansk passive margin of the Siberian platform. The volcanic complex of grabens is represented by basalts with elevated TiO2 contents (> 1.8 wt%). According to geochemical characteristics, the rocks of the volcanic series occupy an intermediate position between the basalts of the oceanic islands (OIB) and the basalt-rich mid-oceanic ridges (E-MORB). The data obtained led to the conclusion that the Kobuminsky system of grabens within the passive margin of the Siberian continent arose in connection with the activity of a small mantle plume.
