TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show large ion lithophile element (LILE) enrichments that have been imparted a long time after the accretion of their protoliths to the lithosphere, induced by alkaline melts rising from upwelling HIMU-like asthenosphere since the late Cretaceous or Eocene.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors re-equilibrated a synthetic basalt with olivine powder from a spinel lherzolite xenolith at 1 GPa-1,330°C, and analyzed Li and B in the run products by secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS).

TL;DR: In this article, a three-stage model for the evolution of seafloor peridotites is proposed, involving a former depletion event, during which the IBM forearc peridots experienced 20-25% polybaric fractional melting during adiabatic upwelling; a second depletion event characterised by a marked impoverishment in modal orthopyroxene, related to the upraise migration of ultra-depleted melts; and a late interaction between a relatively small volume of residual melts and the refractory mantle sequence.

TL;DR: In this paper, the results of texture-related SIMS investigations performed on a wide range of trace elements such as Li, B, Large-Ion Lithophile Elements (LILE), Rare Earth Elements (REE), Nb, Zr, Ti on clinopyroxenes from the Finero peridotite were reported.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors carried out a micro-analytic study on determining the concentrations of some of the so-called hydrothermal markers, such as the light lithophile (Li, B) and halogen (Cl) elements.
