Journal ArticleDOI
Characterization of spinel peridotites by olivine-spinel compositional relationships: Review and interpretation
TL;DR: A comprehensive review on igneous petrological characteristics of mantle-derived spinel peridotites was made on the basis of their olivine-spinel compositional relationships as discussed by the authors.

Mantle Samples Included in Volcanic Rocks: Xenoliths and Diamonds
TL;DR: A review of the geochemistry of mantle xenoliths can be found in this article, where the authors review the geochemical properties of mantle nodules and find that they are dominantly alkaline in nature.

Continental lithosphere of the Arabian Plate: A geologic, petrologic, and geophysical synthesis
Robert J. Stern,Peter R. Johnson +1 more
TL;DR: The Arabian plate is one of the smaller and younger of the Earth's lithospheric plates as discussed by the authors, and the distribution of these rocks and variations in elevation across the Plate cause a pronounced geologic and topographic asymmetry, with extensive basement exposures (the Arabian Shield) and elevations of as much as 3000 meters in the west and a Phanerozoic succession (Arabian Platform) that thickens, and a surface that descends to sea level, eastward between the Shield and the northeastern margin of the Plate.

The origin of cratonic diamonds — Constraints from mineral inclusions
Thomas Stachel,Jeff W. Harris +1 more
TL;DR: The origin of cratonic diamonds is reviewed on the basis of nearly 5000 analyses of silicate, oxide and sulphide inclusions in diamonds as mentioned in this paper, and compositional fields are defined for common minerals of the peridotitic, eclogitic and websteritic inclusion suites.
Journal ArticleDOI
Carbonatite Metasomatism of the Oceanic Upper Mantle: Evidence from Clinopyroxenes and Glasses in Ultramafic Xenoliths of Grande Comore, Indian Ocean
TL;DR: Petrological and geochemical data for a suite of brought down in a subducting slab at a former convergent plate ultramafic xenoliths (lherzolites and wehrlites) from La Grille margin is presented in this article.

Electron Microprobe Analysis
TL;DR: In this article, the electron microprobe was used for energy-dispersive analysis of X-ray spectrometers, and it was shown that the resulting analysis can be used to identify the origin of characteristic X-rays.

The equilibrium boundary between graphite and diamond
TL;DR: The equilibrium boundary between diamond and graphite has been determined over the temperature interval 1100°C-1625°C by using a piston-cylinder apparatus and a zero-friction cell as discussed by the authors.
