Factors Controlling Chemistry of Magmatic Spinel: an Empirical Study of Associated Olivine, Cr-spinel and Melt Inclusions from Primitive Rocks
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyzed spinel-olivine pairs and 400 melt inclusion-spinel pairs from 36 igneous suites from oceanic, arc and intraplate tectonic settings.
Journal ArticleDOI
Geochemistry and tectonic significance of peridotites from the South Sandwich arc-basin system, South Atlantic
TL;DR: Petrographic and geochemical studies of peridotites from the South Sandwich forearc region provide new evidence for the evolution of the south-sandwich arc-basin system and for the nature of interactions between arc magma and oceanic lithosphere as mentioned in this paper.

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.
Journal ArticleDOI
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.
Journal ArticleDOI
Geochemistry of subduction zone serpentinites: A review
TL;DR: A review of the geochemistry of serpentinites, based on the compilation of ~900 geochemical data of abyssal, mantle wedge and exhumed serpentinite after subduction, is presented in this paper.

Chromian spinel as a petrogenetic indicator in abyssal and alpine-type peridotites and spatially associated lavas
Henry J. B. Dick,Thomas Bullen +1 more
TL;DR: The composition of chromian spinels in alpine-type peridotites has a large reciprocal range of Cr and Al, with increasing Cr# (Cr/(Cr+Al)) reflecting increasing degrees of partial melting in the mantle as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pyroxene thermometry in simple and complex systems
TL;DR: In this article, a semi-empirical equation of state for the diopside enstatite miscibility gap has been proposed for ortho-and clinopyroxene solid solutions.

Anhydrous melting of peridotite at 0–15 Kb pressure and the genesis of tholeiitic basalts
A. L. Jaques,David H. Green +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the anhydrous melting behavior of two synthetic peridotite compositions has been studied experimentally at temperatures ranging from near the solidus to about 200°C above the core within the pressure range 0-15 kb.

Melting of a dry peridotite at high pressures and basalt magma genesis
Eiichi Takahashi,Ikuo Kushiro +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a thin layer of basalt was sandwiched between compressed blocks of peridotite minerals and then was equilibrated with its host at melting temperatures.
