The lithium isotope system is increasingly being applied to a variety of Earth science studies,
as the burgeoning literature attests; over 180 papers have been published in the last twelve …

Abstract The Central Mediterranean region is one of the most important areas on Earth for
studying subduction-related potassic and ultrapotassic magmatism, derived from partial …

In 1794, the German physicist EFF Chladni published a small book in which he proposed
the extraterrestrial origin of meteorites. The response was skepticism and disbelief. In the …

Trace-element compositions of olivine from 75 mantle rocks of diverse origin, including
xenoliths from kimberlites, basaltic lavas and orogenic peridotites, were determined by laser …

The trace element composition of olivine is a rapidly growing research area that has several
applications of great potential. Mantle olivines can be distinguished from volcanic olivines by …

We provide new insights into the geochemistry of serpentinites from mid-ocean ridges (Mid-
Atlantic Ridge and Hess Deep), passive margins (Iberia Abyssal Plain and Newfoundland) …

We present whole rock Li and Mg isotope analyses of 33 ultramafic xenoliths from the
terrestrial mantle, which we compare with analyses of 30 (mostly chondritic) meteorites. The …

We present an inventory of B, Cl and Li concentrations in (a) key minerals from a set of
ultramafic samples featuring the main evolutionary stages encountered by the subducted …

Eclogites from Trescolmen, Switzerland, derive from basaltic protoliths that experienced
variable degrees of low-T seafloor alteration prior to high pressure metamorphism. δ7Li of …

We have measured the Li isotope ratios of a range of co-existing phases from peridotites
and mafic magmas to investigate high-temperature fractionations of 7Li/6Li. The Li isotopic …
