Cumulus olivine, clinopyroxene, melilite and perovskite from silicate rocks and carbonatites of the Gardiner (East Greenland) and Kovdor (Kola Peninsula) ultramafic alkaline complexes contain primary melt inclusions crystallized into aggregates of daughter minerals. The petrography and homogenizatio...
