Аннотация:The methods of morphogenetic study of kimberlite indicator minerals (KIM) with a case study of the northern part of the East European platform are described. The techniques of selection of morphologic and genetic groups of garnets, pyroxenes, Cr-spinels and ilmenite are discussed. The basis of the technique is performed with several stages: quantitative analysis of back scattered electron images (BEI), quantitative microprobe analysis of phases; identification of phases on the basis of the database and statistical analysis, which was developed by the authors earlier (Garanin et al., 1984). The types of KIM from kimberlites of the Arkhangelsk diamondiferous province and surrounding regions are characterized.
