Titanium and water-rich metamorphic olivine in high-pressure serpentinites from the Voltri Massif (Ligurian Alps, Italy): evidence for deep subduction of high-field strength and fluid-mobile elements [PDF]
Titanium- and water-rich metamorphic olivine (Fo 86-88) is reported from partially dehydrated serpentinites from the Voltri complex, Ligurian Alps. The rocks are composed of mostly antigorite and olivine in addition to magnetite, chlorite, clinopyroxene ...

Groundmass Chromospinellides from Kimberlites of Khompu-May Kimberlite Field
Abstract The current paper presents the results of studying chromites of kimberlite mesostasis forming the Manchary, Aprelskaya, Erel, Turakhskaya, and Artemova pipes within the Khompu-May kimberlite field (central Yakutia). Despite shared texture and structural characteristics and mineral composition of the kimberlites, chromospinellide

A crustal-upper-mantle model for the Colorado Plateau based on observations of crystalline rock fragments in the Moses Rock Dike [PDF]
On the basis of the size, the abundance, and the petrographic character of xenoliths in the Moses Rock dike, a model for the vertical stratigraphy of crystalline rocks beneath the dike is proposed extending from near the surface to a depth of about 200 ...

Sulfur Isotope Constraints on the Petrogenesis of the Kimberley Kimberlites
Cretaceous kimberlites in southern Africa have been suggested to host deeply subducted material in their mantle sources based on radiogenic isotope systematics. However, potential subducted material contributions to the volatile budget, including sulfur,

The lithospheric mantle and lower crust-mantle relationships under Scotland: a xenolithic perspective [PDF]
In the British Isles the majority of volcanic rocks containing upper mantle and lower crustal xenoliths occur in Scotland. Most of the occurrences are of Carboniferous–Permian age.

Internal vs. external forcing in shallow marine diatreme formation: a case study from the Iblean Mountains (SE-Siciliy, Central Mediterranean) [PDF]
A model of diatreme evolution in a shallow marine setting is based on a multi-disciplinary analysis of diatremes in the Iblean Mountains (Sicily). The approach includes stratigraphic, volcanological, structural, petrologic and compositional data.
