The presence of pegmatoid bodies in the Stillwater Complex is poorly understood, but they have been suggested to have resulted from the presence of fluids in the complex. To better understand the origin of the pegmatoids and to trace the possible influence of country-rock-derived fluid in the Stillwater Complex, bulk rock Rb-Sr, Sm-Nd, and Pb-Pb isotopes for samples from the Archean Stillwater Complex and its metamorphic aureole are reported. Pegmatoid bodies are compared to spatially associated host rock and the underlying hornfels facies country rocks. Evidence of resetting of radiogenic isotopes during regional metamorphism at 1700 Ma is not observed, and the initial radiogenic isotopic ratios in Stillwater Complex rocks overlap those of the underlying hornfels. Despite the isotopic similarity of the country rock to the Stillwater Complex, the intrusion is modestly isotopically heterogeneous. In Stillwater samples, the average εNd,2710Ma = −1.1 ± 6.9, 206Pb/204Pb2710 Ma = 15.24 ± 2.26, and 87Sr/86Sr2710Ma = 0.703043 ± 0.002747 (1σ). The similarity between country rock and intrusive rock isotopic compositions at Stillwater contrasts with the data reported for the Bushveld Complex, South Africa, where the country rock is isotopically distinct from the intrusion. The variability in radiogenic isotope signatures in Stillwater rocks show a noisy but decreasing influence of country rock up through the Lower Banded series interpreted to reflect variable crustal contamination, in part from <1.0 wt % country rock fluids released during intrusion of the Stillwater Complex. The influence of crustal fluid contamination as compared to more traditional crustal assimilation models or simple magmatic heterogeneity suggests that hydrothermal fluids modified the isotopic compositions of more fluid-mobile elements and can explain aspects of isotopic heterogeneity in layered intrusions.
