Cr-spinel records metasomatism not petrogenesis of mantle rocks [PDF]

Nature Communications, 2019
Chromian-spinel from mafic-ultramafic rocks is used as a reliable geotectonic and mantle melting indicator. Here, the authors argue that this only works partially – it can be used to assess information on mantle metasomatic processes but not petrogenesis.

Si- versus Mg-metasomatism at the crust–mantle interface: insights from experiments, natural observations and geochemical modeling

Progress in Earth and Planetary Science, 2023
The slab–mantle interface in subduction zones is one of the geological boundaries with the most significant chemical potential gradients, which leads to fluid-mediated metasomatic reactions and chemical transport.

Ultramafic xenoliths from the Bearpaw Mountains, Montana, USA: evidence for multiple metasomatic events in the lithospheric mantle beneath the Wyoming craton [PDF]

, 2004
Ultramafic xenoliths in Eocene minettes of the Bearpaw Mountains volcanic field (Montana, USA), derived from the lower lithosphere of the Wyoming craton, can be divided based on textural criteria into tectonite and cumulate groups. The tectonites consist

Martian magmatism from plume metasomatized mantle [PDF]

Nature Communications, 2018
AbstractDirect analysis of the composition of Mars is possible through delivery of meteorites to Earth. Martian meteorites include ∼165 to 2400 Ma shergottites, originating from depleted to enriched mantle sources, and ∼1340 Ma nakhlites and chassignites, formed by low degree partial melting of a depleted mantle source.

Oceanic slab melting and mantle metasomatism. [PDF]

Sci Prog, 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.

Metasomatized lithospheric mantle for Mesozoic giant gold deposits in the North China craton [PDF]

, 2020
The origin of giant lode gold deposits of Mesozoic age in the North China craton (NCC) is enigmatic because high-grade metamorphic ancient crust would be highly depleted in gold.

Petrographical and Mineralogical Characteristics of Bengge Alkaline Igneous Complex in Zhongdian, Western Yunnan and Its Geological Significance

Kuangchan zonghe liyong, 2022
Bengge alkaline igneous complex in Zhongdian, Western Yunnan has the variety of rock types, which is production after a complex magma—fluid process. The petrographical and mineralogical analysis of the host rock and its xenolith suggests that the igneous

Origin of Fe‐Ca‐Metasomatism in Exhumed Mantle Rocks at the MARK Area (23°N, ODP Leg 153) and Implications on the Formation of Ultramafic‐Hosted Seafloor Massive Sulfide Deposits

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2023
At Mid‐Ocean Ridges, hot, reduced, acidic, and metal‐rich fluids are responsible for the formation of ultramafic‐hosted seafloor massive sulfide deposits (UM‐SMSs), where mantle exhumation efficiently operates.

Mafic alkaline metasomatism in the lithosphere underneath East Serbia: evidence from the study of xenoliths and the host alkali basalts [PDF]

, 2010
Effects of mafic alkaline metasomatism have been investigated by a combined study of the East Serbian mantle xenoliths and their host alkaline rocks.

Relicts of Neo-Tethyan mantle wedge in the Indo-Burma Range, India: Record of carbonate metasomatism and Neo-Tethyan mantle evolution

Results in Earth Sciences, 2023
Several different geochemical signatures, i.e., mid-oceanic ridge (MOR) and supra subduction zone (SSZ), are frequently reported from ophiolite belts. Such bi-modal geochemical signatures are generally interpreted in terms of formation in two contrasting
