This publication is a series of datasets that accompany a manuscript on petrology of lamprophyre dykes in the Kola Alkaline Carbonatite Province (N Europe) [1]. The datasets served as the basis for interpretation of melt crystallization for lamprophyric and carbonatitic dykes in the crust, to supplement many papers devoted to mantle sources and melting parameters of these rocks based on radiogenic isotopes and trace elements. The first dataset contains bulk major and trace element compositions of the dykes in three areas, Kandalaksha, Kandaguba and Turiy Mys, along with supplementary information on sampling locations and dyke characteristics. The second dataset represents photos, major and trace element plots illustrating extreme mineralogical and textural heterogeneity and layering observed in some dykes. The photographs include field photographs, optical and electron microscopy shots for thin sections in central and marginal parts of the dykes. They should be viewed together with Harker and REE diagrams illustrating the changes from dyke margins to dyke cores. The third and fourth datasets are output tables from Ryolite-MELTS software used to model crystal fractionation of the dykes from the parental melts and various P, T, fO2, XCO2, XH2O parameters. One table shows compositions of evolved melts, while the other lists crystallizing phases.
