Boninite and Harzburgite from Leg 125 (Bonin-Mariana Forearc): A Case Study of Magma Genesis during the Initial Stages of Subduction [PDF]

, 1992
Holes drilled into the volcanic and ultrabasic basement of the Izu-Ogasawara and Mariana forearc terranes during Leg 125 provide data on some of the earliest lithosphere created after the start of Eocene subduction in the Western Pacific.

Mantle melting versus mantle metasomatism – “The chicken or the egg” dilemma

Chemical Geology, 2017
AbstractMost eclogitic mantle xenoliths brought to the surface exhibit a certain degree of enrichment with incompatible elements, usually attributed to the effect of mantle metasomatism by a putative metasomatic fluid. The metasomatic overprint is represented mainly by enrichments in Na, K, Ba, Ti and LREE and the original source of this fluid remains ...

Quantitative Assessment of Peridotite Tectonomagmatic Affinities Using Compositional Data Analysis and Explainable Machine Learning

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Peridotites record the compositional evolution of the lithospheric and asthenospheric mantle across plume‐related lithospheres, convergent margins, and rift‐related volcanic environments; however, their tectonomagmatic affinities are commonly difficult to resolve using traditional low‐dimensional geochemical discrimination diagrams.

A major element, PGE and Re-Os isotope study of Middle Atlas (Morocco) peridotite xenoliths : evidence for coupled introduction of metasomatic sulphides and clinopyroxene [PDF]

, 2010
We present major element and PGE (platinum-group-element) abundances in addition to Re–Os isotope data for 11 spinel-facies whole rock peridotites from a single maar from the Middle Atlas Mountains, Morocco.

Epidote Records (De)hydration From the Seafloor Through Subduction and Underplating: Implications for Subduction Zone Fluid Budgets and Slow Slip

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract When, where, and how much fluid is released from subducting oceanic crust control deformation, element cycling, and magmatism in subduction zones. However, the palimpsest of tectonometamorphic processes in the exhumed rock record complicates the relation of geologic observations to geodynamic models of subduction fluid sources and transport ...

Testing Models for Upper Mantle Earthquakes in the Tanganyika‐Rukwa Rift, Africa

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract Rifts that initiate in mechanically strong, stable continental lithosphere are characterized by M > 5 earthquakes at depths >35 km near or below the crust mantle interface. Current models for deep rift zone earthquakes invoke elevated pore pressures associated with magmatism, and rapid stressing from magma intrusions.

Heterogeneous Mantle Metasomatism Controlled by Continental Subduction: Evidence From Post‐Collisional Mafic Rocks in the North Qaidam Orogen

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems
Post‐collisional mafic rocks not only record geodynamic processes at the end of the orogenic cycle but also retain various clues regarding preceding interactions between subducted slabs and mantle wedges.

Interaction between protokimberlite melts and mantle lithosphere: evidence from mantle xenoliths from the Dalnyaya kimberlite pipe, Yakutia (Russia) [PDF]

, 2017
The Dalnyaya kimberlite pipe (Yakutia, Russia) contains mantle peridotite xenoliths (mostly lherzolites and harzburgites) that show both sheared porphyroclastic (deformed) and coarse granular textures, together with ilmenite and clinopyroxene megacrysts.

Reply to Comment by Hetényi and Cattin on: “Raising the Roof of the World: Intra‐Crustal Asian Mantle Supports the Himalayan‐Tibetan Orogen”

Tectonics, Volume 45, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract We welcome the critique of Hetényi and Cattin (2026, https://doi.org/10.1029/2025tc009214) on Sternai et al. (2025, https://doi.org/10.1029/2025tc009057), as it brings to light evaluative issues that require clarification and offers an opportunity to articulate more clearly how our work advances understanding of Himalayan‐Tibetan geodynamics ...
