The isotopic composition of magnesium in mantle olivine: Records of depletion and metasomatism

open access: yes, 2006
We have investigated detailed Mg isotopic variations in the lithospheric mantle by analysing olivine in mantle-derived peridotite xenoliths and megacrysts.

Mélange dehydration and melting beneath South Sandwich Islands arc

open access: yesNature Communications
Mechanisms regulating material transfer from subducted slabs to arc magmas remain debated, centered on metasomatized mantle wedge interactions versus mélange mobilization at the slab-mantle interface.

Evidence for mantle metasomatism by hydrous silicic melts derived from subducted oceanic crust.

open access: yes, 2001
The low concentrations of niobium, tantalum and titanium observed in island-arc basalts are thought to result from modification of the sub-arc mantle by a metasomatic agent, deficient in these elements, that originates from within the subducted oceanic ...

Diamondiferous garnet lherzolite from the V.Grib kimberlite pipe: relationship between subduction, mantle metasomatism and diamond formation

open access: yesЗаписки Горного института
The article presents the results of a comprehensive study of diamondiferous lherzolite from the V.Grib kimberlite pipe. The composition of rock-forming minerals (olivine, orthopyroxene, Cr-diopside, Cr-pyrope) in terms of major elements mainly ...

Coexisting anorogenic and subduction-related metasomatism in mantle xenoliths from the Betic Cordillera (southern Spain)

open access: yes, 2004
he mantle xenolith suite from Tallante (Betic Cordillera, southern Spain) comprises peridotites equilibrated in the spinel to plagioclase stability field, ranging in composition from fertile lherzolites to harzburgites residual after partial melting ...
