The Cuitzeo granitic xenolith: evidence of an Early Miocene magma plumbing system in central Mexico
Relevant data on the structure and composition of the crystalline basement in Central México can be found by means of plutonic, metamorphic, and sedimentary xenoliths transported by Neogene and Quaternary volcanic eruptions within the Trans-Mexican ...

Evidence for suboceanic small-scale convection from a “garnet”-bearing lherzolite xenolith from Aitutaki Island, Cook Islands [PDF]
Garnet peridotite xenoliths have been rarely reported from suboceanic mantle. Petrographic and geochemical characteristics of garnet-bearing oceanic peridotite xenoliths provide precious information on dynamics of the suboceanic lithosphere and ...

Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact
An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.

Extended time scales of carbonaceous chondrite aqueous alteration evidenced by a xenolith in La Paz Icefield 02239 (CM2) [PDF]
LaPaz Icefield (LAP) 02239 is a mildly aqueously altered CM2 carbonaceous chondrite that hosts a xenolith from a primitive chondritic parent body. The xenolith contains chondrules and calcium‐ and aluminum‐rich inclusions (CAIs) in a very fine‐grained ...

Mantle Xenoliths, edited by Peter H. Nixon, provides a valuable summary of both the state of our knowledge of mantle xenoliths and the current interpretations of them. It is generally well edited and surprisingly well integrated for a large, multiauthored volume.Useful integrating features include introductory sections (by Nixon) an d a summary chapter
