TLDR
In this article, laser ablation microprobe analyses of clinopyroxenes equilibrated with carbonatite melt at 20-22 kbar and 1050-1100°C are used to calculate partition coefficients for an extensive suite of trace elements.

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.

Carbonatite metasomatism in the southeastern Australian lithosphere

TL;DR: In this article, a suite of glass +/- apatite +/- amphibole +/- phlogopite +/- carbonate-bearing spinel wehrlite, lherzolite and harzburgite xenoliths from the Newer Volcanics, southeastern Australia, are consistent with metasomatic interactions between harzbergitic or refractory lherzholitic lithosphere, and penetrative sodic dolomitic carbonatite melts.

Mechanism and timing of lithospheric modification and replacement beneath the eastern North China Craton: Peridotitic xenoliths from the 100 Ma Fuxin basalts and a regional synthesis

TL;DR: In this paper, peridotitic xenoliths from the Cretaceous (∼100 ǫ) Fuxin basalts at the northern edge of the craton have been integrated with data from other localities across the region to provide an overview of the processes involved.

The composition of near-solidus melts of peridotite in the presence of CO2 and H2O between 40 and 60 kbar

TL;DR: Partial melting experiments at 40, 50 and 60 kbar pressure on three peridotite compositions with 0.5, 0.63 and 0.2% CO2 added indicate melting temperatures only marginally above continental geotherms as mentioned in this paper.

Chemical and isotopic systematics of oceanic basalt : implications for mantle composition and processes

S. S. Sun
TL;DR: In this article, trace-element data for mid-ocean ridge basalts and ocean island basalts are used to formulate chemical systematics for oceanic basalts, interpreted in terms of partial-melting conditions, variations in residual mineralogy, involvement of subducted sediment, recycling of oceanic lithosphere and processes within the low velocity zone.

Experimental cpx/melt partitioning of 24 trace elements

TL;DR: In this paper, the ion probe for 24 trace elements at natural levels in an alkali basalt experimentally equilibrated at 1,380°C and 3 GPa.

Melting of a dry peridotite KLB‐1 up to 14 GPa: Implications on the Origin of peridotitic upper mantle

TL;DR: In this paper, a diapiric model was proposed for the genesis of komatiite magma by partial melting of mantle peridotite at 150-200 km depth.
