Magma Evolution and Mantle Metasomatism: Constraints on Olivine Composition in Potassic-Ultrapotassic Mafic Rocks from Lar Igneous Suite, SE of Iran [PDF]
Journal of Sciences, Islamic Republic of Iran, 2021 The Lar igneous suite (LIS), in southeastern Iran, is part of post collisional alkaline magmatism in Sistan suture zone. Shonkinite and kersantite are the only two high-Mg, K-rich olivine bearing rocks in the LIS. We study major and some compatible trace

Multiscale modeling of upper mantle plasticity: From single-crystal rheology to multiphase aggregate deformation [PDF]
, 2014 We report a first application of an improved second-order (SO) viscoplastic self-consistent model for multiphase aggregates, applied to an olivine + diopside aggregate as analogue for a dry upper mantle peridotite deformed at 10 15 s 1 shear strain rate ...

Carbonatite metasomatism overprinted by silicate melt metasomatism in the mantle beneath the West Eifel volcanic field [PDF]
European Journal of MineralogyThe texture and mineral compositions of mantle xenoliths from the West Eifel volcanic field (WEVF) reveal three distinct mantle events. The first, identified in LREE-depleted and isotopically depleted anhydrous (type Ib) xenoliths, resulted from partial ...

Gold, platinum and palladium enrichments in arcs: role of mantle wedge, arc crust and halogen-rich slab fluids [PDF]
E3S Web of Conferences, 2019 Arc-related magmas are frequently enriched in Au, Pt and Pd in respect to MORB and OIB igneous suites. Magmatic arcs commonly host large-scale hydrothermal Au and Au-Cu and PGE mineralization related to young volcanic systems and zoned ultramafic ...

Patched removal of the mantle lithosphere under orogens: A systematic numerical study
Frontiers in Earth Science, 2023 Delamination or convective thinning could cause large-scale and complete removal of the mantle lithosphere under orogens. However, geological and geophysical observations suggest that patched removal of the mantle lithosphere has occurred in some orogens,

Global Patterns in Cratonic Mid‐Lithospheric Discontinuities From Sp Receiver Functions
Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2021 The goal of this study is to constrain the origins of layering in the seismic velocity structure within the cratonic mantle lithosphere (i.e. mid‐lithospheric discontinuities [MLDs]).
