Glass from Teniky (Madagascar): Geochemical Evidence for Multiple Production Systems and Long‐Distance Exchange in the Mediaeval Indian Ocean

Archaeometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The inland rock‐cut site of Teniky, located in the Isalo massif of southern Madagascar, represents an exceptional archaeological context recently dated to the 11th–12th centuries ad, corresponding to the early phases of settlement on the island.

Lithological structure of western Pacific lithosphere reconstructed from mantle xenoliths in a petit-spot volcano

Progress in Earth and Planetary Science, 2022
The lithospheric mantle, formed at the mid-ocean ridge as a residue of crustal production, comprises theoretically depleted peridotite, but more fertile components (e.g., lherzolite and pyroxenite) have been reported, creating an enigmatic picture of the

Pseudotachylyte in the Monte Maggiore ophiolitic unit (Alpine Corsica): a possible lateral extension of the Cima di Gratera intermediate-depth Wadati-Benioff paleo-seismic zone

BSGF - Earth Sciences Bulletin, 2018
At the northern end of the Cap Corse peninsula, several klippes of ultramafic rocks (peridotite and serpentinite), among which the Monte Maggiore klippe is the least serpentinized one, rest upon continental-crust derived rocks (Centuri gneisses) and ...

The Role of Peridotite for Oceanic Volcanism

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems
The complementary products of oceanic crust formation are compositionally variable melt‐depleted peridotites. Together with the oceanic crust, the melt‐depleted peridotites are continuously recycled back into the mantle.

GEOCHEMISTRY AND PETROGRAPHY OF METAMORPHIC SOLE AMPHIBOLITES FROM THE SLATINA QUARRY, MT. ZRINSKA GORA, CROATIA

Rudarsko-geološko-naftni Zbornik
The investigated Mt. Zrinska Gora amphibolites are a part of the metamorphic sole of the Banovina ophiolite complex. Mineral composition and other petrographic characteristics of amphibolites and adjacent peridotite were investigated by polarised ...

Machine Learning Reveals Source Compositions of Intraplate Basaltic Rocks

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2021
Recycling of crustal material is thought to introduce pyroxenite to the peridotite mantle. Mapping such lithological heterogeneity within the mantle is crucial to understanding the mantle's chemical evolution but remains challenging.

Petrogenetic Implications for Ophiolite Ultramafic Bodies from Lokris and Beotia (Central Greece) Based on Chemistry of Their Cr-spinels

Geosciences, 2017
Cr-spinels from ultramafic rocks from Lokris (Megaplatanos and Tragana), and Beotia (Ypato and Alyki) ophiolitic occurrences were studied. These rocks comprise principally harzburgite with minor dunite. Small amounts of clinopyroxene-rich harzburgite and

Gas Migration Episodes Observed During Peridotite Alteration in the Samail Ophiolite, Oman

Geophysical Research Letters, 2022
Serpentinization and carbonation of mantle rocks (peridotite alteration) are fundamentally important processes for a spectrum of geoscience topics, including arc volcanism, earthquake processes, chemosynthetic biological communities, and carbon ...

Late Cretaceous Construction of the Mantle Lithosphere Beneath the Central California Coast Revealed by Crystal Knob Xenoliths

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2018
The Pleistocene (1.65 Ma) Crystal Knob volcanic neck in the California Coast Ranges is an olivine‐plagioclase phyric basalt containing dunite and spinel peridotite xenoliths.
