The Siberian flood basalts (SFB) erupted at the end of the Permian period (∼ 250 Ma) in response to a deep-rooted mantle plume beneath the Siberian Sub-Continental Lithospheric Mantle (SCLM). Plume-lithosphere interaction can lead to significant changes in the structure and chemistry of the SCLM and trigger the release of metasomatic material that was previously stored within the stable craton. Here, we investigate the nature of the Siberian-SCLM (S-SCLM) by measuring nitrogen abundances and isotopes (δ 15 N) in 11 samples of two petrologically-distinct suites of peridotitic xenoliths recovered from kimberlites which bracket the eruption of the SFB: the 360 Myr old Udachnaya and 160 Myr old Obnazhennaya pipes. Nitrogen isotope (δ 15 N) values range from-5.85±1.29‰ to+ 3.94±0.63‰, which encompasses the entire range between depleted Mid-Ocean Ridge Basalt (MORB) mantle (DMM;-5±2‰) and plume-derived (+ 3±2‰) endmembers. In addition, we present neon (n= 7) and argon (n= 8) abundance and isotope results for the same two suites of samples. The 20 Ne/22 Ne and 21 Ne/22 Ne range from atmospheric-like values of 9.88 up to 11.35 and from 0.0303 to 0.0385, respectively, suggesting an admixture of DMM and plume-derived components. Argon isotopes (40 Ar/36 Ar) range from 336.7 to 1122 and correlate positively with 40 Ar contents. We show that volatile systematics of Siberian xenoliths:(1) exhibit evidence of ancient metasomatic and/or recycled signatures, and (2) show evidence of subsequent plume-like re-fertilization, which we attribute to the emplacement of the SFB. Metasomatic fluids are highly enriched in radiogenic gases and have elevated Br/Cl and I/Cl values, consistent with an ancient subducted crustal component. The metasomatic component is marked by light N isotope signatures, suggesting it may be derived from an anoxic Archean subducted source. Taken together, these N 2-Ne-Ar isotope results suggest that mantle plume impingement has profoundly modified the S-SCLM, and that N, Ne and Ar isotopes are sensitive tracers of metasomatism in the S-SCLM. Metasomatic fluids that permeate the S-SCLM act to archive a “subduction-fingerprint” that can be used to probe relative volatile-element recycling efficiencies and thus provide insight into volatile transport between the surface and mantle reservoirs over Earth history.
