Feldspar-Ti-oxide metasomatism in off-cratonic continental and oceanic upper mantle
Metasomatism is responsible for enrichment of lithospheric mantle in incompatible elements. The most common metasomatic products in mantle xenoliths and peridotite massifs worldwide are amphibole and mica providing mineral hosts for alkalies, Ba, Nb. In contrast, xenoliths of spinel peridotite entra...
