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.

New evidence for upper Permian crustal growth below Eifel, Germany, from mafic granulite xenoliths [PDF]
Granulite xenoliths from the Quaternary West Eifel Volcanic Field in Germany record evidence of magmatism in the lower crust at the end of the Permian. The xenoliths sampled two distinct bodies: an older intrusion (ca.

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

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.

Geology and geochemistry of the Redrock Granite and anorthosite xenoliths (Proterozoic) in the northern Burro Mountains, Grant County, New Mexico, USA [PDF]
Mineral ages from the A-type granites and anorthosite xenoliths in the Redrock area in the northwestern Burro Mountains in southwestern New Mexico cluster around ~1220–1225 Ma and provide yet another example of bimodal igneous activity during this time ...

An ion microprobe U-Th-Pb study of zircon xenocrysts from the Lahtojoki kimberlite pipe, eastern Finland [PDF]
Eleven relatively large (diameter 1–2 mm) zircon grains extracted from the Lahtojoki kimberlite pipe (Eastern Finland Kimberlite Province) have been analysed by the ion microprobe NORDSIM for their U- and Pb- isotopic composition.

Preservation of water concentration in mantle xenoliths: a case study from Allègre and Ray Pic volcanoes (French Massif Central) [PDF]
Water in the form of hydrous point defects in the crystal structure of pyroxenes from mantle xenoliths is frequently used to trace the water content in the lithospheric mantle.

Pyroxene chemistry of xenoliths related to volcanic rocks in the Eslamieh Peninsula (Saray volcano): Implications for geothermobarometry and tectonic setting [PDF]
The high K-volcanic rocks of the Eslamieh Peninsula (Saray) are exposed in the northwestern Urumieh-Dokhtar magmatic belt. They mainly include phonolitic lavas and related xenoliths.
