•The rocks crystallized from 18O- and D-depleted magma.•The rocks are products of fractional crystallization from a single parental magma.•Hydrothermal processes were responsible for the change in δ18O values. The Belaya Zima alkaline–carbonatite complex in the East Sayan Mountains, Russia, is a multiphase concentric intrusion, which comprises diverse alkaline silicate rocks and carbonatites. Melteigites are the earliest products of crystallization and they are followed by ijolites–urtites, nepheline syenites, and finally, calcite, calcite–dolomite and ankerite carbonatites. In this paper, we present new geochronological data (Ar–Ar method), chemical and stable isotope (H, C and O) compositions of the main rock-forming minerals in carbonatites and the silicate rocks of the complex. The Ar–Ar dating of phlogopite from ankerite carbonatites is consistent with the age of syenite emplacement and implies that the silicate rocks and carbonatites are likely to be comagmatic. The evolutionary trends of pyroxene, fluorapatite, amphibole and phlogopite are consistent with fractional crystallization from a single parental magma. Primary Nb mineralization is represented by pyrochlore, whereas columbite-(Fe) is a replacement product of pyrochlore at the post magmatic, hydrothermal stage. At that stage, interaction of calcite carbonatites with hydrothermal fluids resulted in the formation of hydrothermal paragenesis comprising dolomite–ankerite, monazite-(Ce), ancylite-(Ce), minerals of burbankite group and Ca–REE fluorcarbonates. The hydrothermal processes were also responsible for cation leaching from pyrochlore, the replacements of phlogopite by tetraferriphlogopite and early Ca-rich pyroxene by aegirine. The stable isotope data suggest that the rocks crystallized from a 18O-depleted magma. Shifts toward higher δ18O values relative to the primary compositions are commonly observed in minerals from carbonatites, which is attributed to hydrothermal processes.
