The petrological characteristics of peridotite xenoliths exhumed from the lithospheric mantle
below the Western Pacific arcs (Kamchatka, NE Japan, SW Japan, Luzon–Taiwan, New …

Studies of mantle xenoliths have confirmed that Archean subcontinental lithospheric mantle
(SCLM) is highly depleted in basaltic components (such as Al, Ca and Na) due to high …

Gold enrichment at the crustal or mantle source has been proposed as a key ingredient in
the production of giant gold deposits and districts. However, the lithospheric-scale …

Within continental lithosphere, widespread seismic evidence suggests a sharp
discontinuous downward decrease in seismic velocity at 60–160 km depth. This …

The petrology and geochronology of Paleozoic and Mesozoic metamorphic and ophiolitic
complexes in southern Patagonia constrain the evolution of magmatic belts, marginal …

Platinum-rich nanonuggets (sl, nanoparticles) are commonly produced in experiments
attempting to quantify the solubility or partitioning of noble metals in silicate and sulfide …

Numerous geochemical studies on mid-ocean ridge basalts have established the presence
of both compositional and lithological heterogeneities in the upper mantle. These studies …

We present mineral chemistry and whole rock major, trace, and platinum group element
(PGE) concentrations, and Re-Os isotope data for eighteen mantle xenoliths carried to the …

A suite of mantle ultramafic xenoliths hosted in Cenozoïc alkali basalts and pyroclastic rocks
associated with a back-arc tectonic environment occur at Cerro de los Chenques and Cerro …

The oxidation state of the Earth's mantle and its partial melting products exert a key control
on the behavior and distribution of sulfur and chalcophile and siderophile elements between …
