THE NATURE OF ULTRAMAFIC XENOLITHS IN THE BASALTS OF LANZAROTE ISLAND (CANARY ARCHIPELAGO)
Mineralogical and geochemical study was performed on peridotite xenolith hosted by amygdaline basalts of Lanzarote Island (Canary archipelago). Their modal composition corresponds to harzburgite.

How is carbonate crust digested by magma?
Magma’s volatile budget depends on deep magmatic sources, the degree of differentiation and degassing conditions, and volatile input from the assimilated crust.

Transport and eruption of mantle xenoliths creates a lagging problem
Mantle-derived xenoliths entrained by low viscosity magmas indicate transport through great thicknesses of orogenic (≲50-80 km) and cratonic ( $$\lesssim$$ ≲ 20 km) mantle lithosphere.

The occurrence of mantle-derived peridotite xenoliths in phonolitic melts is a rare phenomenon, and is commonly ascribed to a mantle origin of the phonolite.

On the role of solute drag in reconciling laboratory and natural constraints on olivine grain growth kinetics [PDF]
We investigate the effect of solute drag on grain growth (GG) kinetics in olivine-rich rocks through full field and mean field modelling. Considering a drag force exerted by impurities on grain boundary migration allows reconciling laboratory and natural constraints on olivine GG kinetics.

Kyanite-bearing eclogite xenoliths from the Udachnaya kimberlite, Siberian craton, Russia [PDF]
Xenoliths brought up by kimberlite magmas are rare samples of otherwise inaccessible lithospheric mantle. Eclogite xenoliths are found in most cratons and commonly show a range of mineral and chemical compositions that can be used to better understand ...

Thríhnúkagígur Volcano, Iceland, is a composite spatter cone and lava field characteristic of basaltic fissure eruptions. Lava drainback at the end of the eruption left ~60 m of evacuated conduit, and a 4 × 104 m3 cave formed by the erosion of ...

Lower crustal zircons reveal Neogene metamorphism beneaththe Pannonian Basin (Hungary)
Neogene alkaline intraplate volcanic depositsin the Pannonian Basin (Hungary) contain many lowercrustal granulite-facies xenoliths. U-Pb ages have been determinedfor zircons separated from a metasedimentaryxenolith, using LA-ICPMS and SHRIMP techniques ...

Quartz-rich xenoliths in lavas (basalts to andesites; 90-30 ka) from Alicudi contain abundant melt and fluid inclusions. Two generations of CO2-rich fluid inclusions are present in quartz-rich xenolith grains: early (Type I) inclusions related to partial
