Deep lithospheric dynamics beneath the Sierra Nevada during the Mesozoic and Cenozoic as inferred from xenolith petrology [PDF]
, 2001 Peridotite xenoliths erupted in late Miocene basalts (~8 Ma) in the central Sierra Nevada sample a lithosphere that is vertically stratified in terms of age and thermal history.

Minerals (Basel, Switzerland), 2018 The oxidation states of Fe within olivine, orthopyroxene, clinopyroxene, and spinel in a spinel lherzolite xenolith from the Tariat Depression, Mongolia were investigated using 57Fe Mossbauer spectroscopy to evaluate the redox condition of the upper ...

Geodynamic implications of xenolith geotherms
Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2003 Studies of xenolith suites yield depth‐temperature arrays for the lithosphere at the time of eruption. These studies constrain the conductive heat flow through the lithosphere and limit the temperature range across the rheological boundary layer to <300 K. Numerical models of convection illustrate features that may be found within suites of samples.

A U-Pb Study of Zircons from a Lower Crustal Granulite Xenolith of the Spanish Central System: A Record of Iberian Lithospheric Evolution from the Neoproterozoic to the Triassic [PDF]
The Journal of geology, 2006 A U-Pb laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry and secondary ion mass spectrometry geochronological study has been performed on zircons from a felsic granulite xenolith from the lower crust under the Variscan belt of Iberia. The ages

Sheared lherzolite xenoliths revisited [PDF]
Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, 2008 The microstructures of sheared lherzolite xenoliths from South African kimberlites are investigated using new microstructural analysis techniques and new rheological data. By applying electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) methods and the M‐index technique for quantifying the strength of lattice preferred orientation (LPO), it is demonstrated that ...
