Oxygen Thermobarometry of Orogenic Lherzolite Massifs
The oxidation state has been determined for spinel peridotites from 13 orogenic lherzolite massifs including Beni Bousera, Ronda, and 11 smaller massifs in the French Pyrenees. The oxygen fugacity (f o2) was calculated for 67 samples from microprobe analyses using a set of secondary spinel standards to correct the ferric iron content in the spinels ...

Mineralogy and thermobarometry of metamorphic basement from the Kabul Block (Eastern Afghanistan) [PDF]
The cratonic basement in the Kabul district is dominated by gneiss, migmatite, schist, and amphibolite and is characterized by extensive outcrops. Orthopyroxene and garnet are the index minerals of some of the gneisse, hence, they are considered as ...

Table Cape vent xenolith suite, northwest Tasmania: Mineralogy and implications for crust-mantle lithology and Miocene geotherms in Tasmania. [PDF]
The Miocene Table Cape vent erupted a diverse mantle-crust xenolith suite within its fractionated nephelinitic matrix. Assemblages include mantle metaperidotites, garnet-metawebsterites and rarer garnet-metadinopyroxenitcs, garnct-mctawehrlites ...

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

A new clinopyroxene thermobarometer for mafic to intermediate magmatic systems [PDF]
Clinopyroxene-only thermobarometry is one of the most practical tools to reconstruct crystallization pressures and temperatures of clinopyroxenes. Because it does not require any information of coexisting silicate melt or other co-crystallized mineral ...
