We researched mineral composition of the alkaline basalts from
section of the Cretaceous oceanic crust on the Kamchatsky
Mys Peninsula. These data obtained for paleooceanic assemblage
of the Eastern Kamchatka for the first time. Clinopiroxenes
from the investigated basalts have composition of the fassaite
with high titanium (up to 6.44% TiO2). Hornblende and biotite
are also differing high content of titanium. Spinel compositions
of investigated basalts are located in the field spinel compositions
of alkaline rocks of Hawaiian Islands. The chemical composition
of the minerals is corroborating a conclusion about the similarity
of the alkaline basalts from Kamchatsky Mys Peninsula with
rocks of Hawaiian-Emperor volcanic chain.
