Based on previous and new results on partial melting experiments of pyroxenites at high
pressure, we attempt to identify the major element signature of pyroxenite partial melts and …

Our knowledge of the lithosphere beneath the Carpathian–Pannonian Region (CPR) has
been greatly improved through petrologic, geochemical and isotopic studies of upper mantle …

The Zhejiang–Fujian late Cenozoic volcanism took place sporadically in four volcanic belts
and constitutes an important diffuse continental rift basalt province in eastern China. The …

Anhydrous spinel and garnet pyroxenites form a small (< 10%) but integral part of the
shallow sub-continental lithospheric mantle. They occur as layers or dykes within …

Pyroxenite xenoliths entrained in alkali basalts are usually interpreted to be high pressure
cumulates from mantle-derived melts. However, those from Jiaohe, Northeast China may …

Peridotites associated with pyroxenites (with rare olivine and spinel) are exposed on the
islands of San Jorge and Santa Isabel in the Solomon Islands. Orthopyroxenite occurs in …

The CIPW norm proposed one hundred years ago is still a useful scheme because
abundances of normative minerals are required for a proper rock classification such as that …

We review petrographical and petrological characteristics of mantle peridotite xenoliths from
the Western Pacific to construct a petrologic model of the lithospheric mantle beneath the …

We report the Sr, Nd and Pb isotopic ratios of clinopyroxene separates from spinel peridotite
xenoliths hosted by late Cenozoic alkali basaltic rocks from Baengnyeong Island, Jogokni …

Subduction of the Pacific and Indian-Australian Plates, regional transpression, lateral block
extrusion, and structural inversion have all interacted to affect the crustal deformation and …
