Abstract: Petrological and geothermobarometric data from (garnet)-spinel peridotite and pyroxenite xenoliths in Quaternary alkali-basalts at Mega (Sidamo region, Ethiopia) provide evidence for refertilization and thinning of the lower subcontinental lithospheric mantle (SCLM) during Tertiary rifting events… read more here.

Abstract: Abstract Accurate estimation of the depths of spinel peridotite xenoliths for which reliable geobarometers are not available is imperative to be able to reconstruct the precise structures of the lithosphereasthenosphere boundary (LAB). The LAB can… read more here.
