Mantle lherzolites (spinel- and garnet-bearing), megacrysts and pyroxenites from Moho and lower crust xenoliths of the Cenozoic basalts of Shavaryn-Tsaram volcanic center were newly studied by the EPMA, SEM and LA-ICP methods to define more precisely ...

Mantle xenolith samples in contact with basalt flows were collected from the Tafraoute maar in Morocco. Discrete melt veins are present in one xenolith sample, crosscutting primary layering and foliation.

The temperature of the convecting mantle and thickness of the lithosphere control many of Earth's processes. However, there is disagreement regarding the evolution of these quantities through time.

Geodynamic implications of xenolith geotherms
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 study of ex-situ carbon mineralization under low intensity aqueous reaction
Safe, scalable and permanent options for carbon dioxide storage is essential to achieve net negative greenhouse gas emissions and limit catastrophic global warming. A benign and thermodynamically stable form of CO2 storage is a carbonate mineral.

Mantle xenolith in the mafic dyke at Beremend, Villány Mts., SW Hungary [PDF]
Spinel lherzolite nodules of an U, Cretaceous mafic dyke in the Villány Mts. were studied. The xenolith consists of olivine, enstatite, Cr-diopside and Cr-Fe spinel as primary phases. No garnet or plagioclase is present.
