Oceanic Slab Melting and Mantle Metasomatism [PDF]
Science Progress, 2001 Modern plate tectonic brings down oceanic crust along subduction zones where it either dehydrates or melts. Those hydrous fluids or melts migrate into the overlying mantle wedge trigerring its melting which produces arc magmas and thus additional continental crust. Nowadays, melting seems to be restricted to cases of young (<50 Ma) subducted plates.

Petrographic and geochemical characteristics of olivine basalts from east of Nehbandan and Chahchocho (Sistan suture zone, eastern Iran) [PDF]
پترولوژی, 2020 Olivine basalts from east of Nehbandan and Chahchocho regions belong to sodic alkaline and transitional magma series. Compared to alkaline olivine basalts (AOB), the transitional olivine basalts (TOB) have higher MgO, SiO2, Ni, Cr, Ba, Th, Pb, and U, and

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2021 Lavas that have erupted at near‐axis seamounts provide windows into mid‐ocean ridge mantle heterogeneity and melting systematics which are not easily observed on‐axis at fast‐spreading centers.

Bulletin of the Mineral Research and Exploration, 2022 The highly siderophile element (HSE) or platinum group element (PGE) and Os isotope systematics of basaltic volcanics have recently received a significant attention because of their potential to constrain the petrological processes on magma generation ...

Melting and defect transitions in FeO up to pressures of Earth’s core-mantle boundary
Nature Communications, 2023 The high-pressure melting curve of FeO controls key aspects of Earth’s deep interior and the evolution of rocky planets more broadly. However, existing melting studies on wüstite were conducted across a limited pressure range and exhibit substantial ...

Fossilized Melts in Mantle Wedge Peridotites [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2018 AbstractThe shallow oxidized asthenosphere may contain a small fraction of potassic silicate melts that are enriched in incompatible trace elements and volatiles. Here, to determine the chemical composition of such melt, we analysed fossilized melt inclusions, preserved as multiphase solid inclusions, from an orogenic garnet peridotite in the Bohemian ...

Quartz-bearing rhyolitic melts in the Earth’s mantle
Nature Communications, 2022 AbstractThe occurrence of rhyolite melts in the mantle has been predicted by high pressure-high temperature experiments but never observed in nature. Here we report natural quartz-bearing rhyolitic melt inclusions and interstitial glass within peridotite xenoliths.

Channelized melt flow in downwelling mantle: Implications for 226Ra-210Pb disequilibria in arc magmas [PDF]
, 2008 We present the results of an analytical model of porous flow of viscous melt into a steadily dilating ‘‘channel’’ (defined as a cluster of smaller veins) in downwelling subarc mantle.

Investigation of Petrological Characteristics of The Upper Mantle in Hadji-Abad Ophiolitic Complex (South of Iran): Based on Mineral Chemistry [PDF]
Journal of Sciences, Islamic Republic of Iran, 2021 The mantle peridotites of the Hadji-Abad ultramafic complex in Hormozgan province, show some petrological evolutions of the upper mantle of southern Iran. The complex includes harzburgite, lherzolite, dunite and chromitite.

Does depleted mantle form an intrinsic part of the Iceland plume? [PDF]
, 2003 Icelandic basalt ranges in composition from voluminous tholeiite, erupted in the rift zones, to small-volume, mildly alkaline basalt erupted off-axis.
