Transport and eruption of mantle xenoliths creates a lagging problem

Communications Earth & Environment, 2023
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.

Imprints of modal metasomatism in the post-Deccan subcontinental lithospheric mantle: petrological evidence from an ultramafic xenolith in an Eocene lamprophyre, NW India

Special Publications, 2017
We report here on the occurrence of an interesting mantle-derived ultramafic xenolith entrained in an Eocene (c. 55 Ma) lamprophyre dyke from the Dongargaon area of the Chhotaudepur alkaline subprovince located within the Narmada Rift Zone, NW India. The

Active megadetachment beneath the western United States [PDF]

, 2008
Geodetic data, interpreted in light of seismic imaging, seismicity, xenolith studies, and the late Quaternary geologic history of the northern Great Basin, suggest that a subcontinental-scale extensional detachment is localized near the Moho.

Whole rock and mineral chemistry of hornblenditic xenoliths in volcanic alkaline rocks from the northern part of Uromieh Dokhatar magmatic belt (NW Iran)

Comptes Rendus. Géoscience, 2021
An alkaline volcanic activity with a relative Plio-Quaternary age (based on the succession of layers on the field) occurred in the northern part of Uromieh Dokhatar magmatic belt, Iran.

Reconciling the discrepancy between the dehydration rates in mantle olivine and pyroxene during xenolith emplacement

Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta, 2019
Hydrogen concentration profiles through olivine and pyroxene in peridotite xenoliths carried in rift basalts from northern Tanzania (Lashaine, Eledoi, and Kisite localities) show bell-shaped distributions, indicating that diffusive hydrogen loss has ...

The composition and distribution of the rejuvenated component across the Hawaiian plume: Hf‐Nd‐Sr‐Pb isotope systematics of Kaula lavas and pyroxenite xenoliths

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2013
Rejuvenated volcanism refers to the reemergence of volcanism after a hiatus of 0.5–2 Ma following the voluminous shield building stage of Hawaiian volcanoes.

Spinel crystals in mantle ultramafic xenoliths as the source of P-T conditions of alteration above the magma chamber beneath the Avacha Volcano (Kamchatka)

Journal of Asian Earth Sciences: X, 2022
This study focuses on the ability of spinel crystals in ultramafic xenoliths, like zircon, to store the primary composition and structure when exposed to magma fluid flows or the thermal heating of ultramafic fragments in magma flows during volcanic ...

Lithospheric 3D gravity modelling using upper-mantle density constraints: Towards a characterization of the crustal configuration in the North Patagonian Massif area, Argentina [PDF]

, 2017
The North Patagonian Massif is an Argentinean plateau that has an average height of 1200 m and stands from 500 to 700 m above the neighboring areas. During Paleogene, it suffered a sudden uplift of more than 1200 m without noticeable internal deformation;

The evolution and ascent paths of mantle xenolith-bearing magma: Observations and insights from Cenozoic basalts in Southeast China

Lithos, 2018
Studies have shown that mantle xenolith-bearing magmas must ascend rapidly to carry mantle xenoliths to the surface. It has thus been inferred inadvertently that such rapid ascending melt must have undergone little crystallization or evolution.
