Lamproites are rare ultrapotassic rocks of economic importance because they may be
hostrocks of diamonds. Small outcrops of lamproitic rocks have been reported in
Northeastern Algeria, near Kef Hahouner and Koudiat el Anzazza (Raoult and Velde, 1971;
Vila et al., 1974), but only few studies have been done on these rocks. We have conducted
petrographic, mineralogical and geochemical study on the volcanic massif of Kef Hahouner.
The rocks of the massif occurs as lava flows within the continental Miocene of the
Constantine basin. Our study indicates the existence of two types of rocks: lamproitic rocks
at the bottom and shoshonites at the top, which are separated by a red level of continental
Miocene. Lamproitic rocks are composed of (fig. 1) olivine phenocrysts (Fo72-87) in a
groundmass composed of sanidine with a barium-rich core, clinopyroxene (Wo43En46Fs11),
plagioclase (labrador, An50-65), apatite, phlogopite and glass. Opaque minerals consist of
titaniferous and chromiferous spinels often included in olivine. chlorophaite and bowlingite
are the main alteration minerals..

(lamproitic rock) showing the main mineral phases.
Geochemically, the lamproitic rocks are ultrapotassic (K2O/Na2O > 2 ; K2O > 3% and MgO >
3) with a high [Mg] ([Mg] = Mg/(Mg+Fe2+)) around 0,71, indicating that the studied rocks are
relatively primitive in character. The chondrite-normalized rare-earth element (REE) patterns
of the lamproitic rocks display a high LREE enrichment relative to HREE and the primitive
mantle-normalized multi-trace element patterns show an extreme enrichment in large ion
lithophile elements (LILE) such as Cs, Ba, Rb, Th, U and LREE with concentrations of about
3000 times higher than primitive mantle (fig. 2). Shoshonites are composed of plagioclases
laths (Labrador, An60-70) in a groundmass composed of barium-rich sanidine, clinopyroxene
(Wo45En42Fs14), apatite and ilmenite. Large crystals of calcite occupy the rock vesicles or
replace ferromagnesian minerals, probably olivine. Shoshonites show a chondrite-normalized
rare-earth element (REE) and primitive mantle-normalized multi-trace element patterns
similar to those of the lamproitic rocks, but with less important LREE and LILE contents (fig.
2).
Figure 2. Chondrite-normalized rare-earth element (REE) (left) and primitive mantlenormalized multi-trace element patterns (right) of the Kef Hahouner volcanic rocks (in red:
lamproitic rocks; in blue : shoshonite).
The rare-earth element (REE) and multi-trace element patterns of Kef Hahouner lamproitic
rocks are similar to those of lamproites of the Mediterranean basin, which indicates same
petrographic affinity and a common origin. A south vergence subduction followed by a postcollisional lithosphere delamination may be responsible of the lamproitic and shoshonitic
volcanism in this part of the Maghrebides chain.
