Compositional characteristics of the MORB mantle and bulk silicate earth based on spinel peridotites from the Tariat Region, Mongolia
2019, Geochimica et Cosmochimica ActaCitation Excerpt :Another argument for the recent metasomatism are Tariat xenoliths containing veins and patches of phlogopite, amphibole and apatite (Ionov et al., 1997). Furthermore, the Shava eruption breccia contains very large (>10 cm) “megacrysts” of cpx, garnet, and sanidine that are interpreted as fragments of coarse-grained veins in the mantle produced by crystallization of pockets of residual metasomatic fluid-rich melts (Kovalenko et al., 1987). The abundance of such megacrysts in the breccia shows the availability of the metasomatic fluids in the mantle shortly before the eruption.
Pyroxenites and megacrysts from Vitim picrite-basalts (Russia): Polybaric fractionation of rising melts in the mantle?
2011, Journal of Asian Earth SciencesCitation Excerpt :Megacrystalline pyroxenites were probably formed during the ascent of the host magma to the surface (Lorand, 1989) and their crystallization may be a result of polybaric fractionation (Irving, 1984; Eggler and Mccallum, 1976; Neal, 1995) accompanied by AFC (Neal and Davidson, 1989). Garnet peridotites and pyroxenite xenoliths and pyrope megacrysts are not frequent in alkali basalt (Beeson and Jackson, 1970; Chapman, 1976; Kepezhinskas, 1979; Nixon and Boyd, 1979; Delaney et al., 1979; Kovalenko et al., 1987; Mukhopadyay and Manton, 1994; Ashchepkov et al., 1996; Stern et al., 1999; Upton et al., 2003; Bjerg et al., 2005). The picrite-basalt tuffs from Vitim (Russia) and closely located volcanic centers (Ashchepkov et al., 2003) contain a nearly complete set of megacrysts, peridotites and pyroxenites as described in the literature.
