Trace element residence and partitioning in mantle xenoliths metasomatized by highly alkaline, silicate- and carbonate-rich melts (Kerguelen Islands, Indian Ocean)
Mantle xenoliths in alkaline lavas of the Kerguelen Islands consist of: (1) protogranular, Cr-diopside-bearing harzburgite; (2) poikilitic, Mg-augite-bearing harzburgite and cpx-poor lherzolite; (3) dunite that contains clinopyroxene, spinel phlogopite, and rarely amphibole. Trace element data for r...
