Fragments of Metasomatized Forearc: Origin and Implications of Mafic and Ultramafic Xenoliths From Kharchinsky Volcano, Kamchatka
Abstract Dunite, harzburgite, and clinopyroxenite xenoliths from Kharchinsky volcano, Kamchatka, have abundances and ratios of incompatible trace elements similar to those in arc volcanic rocks (elevated Ba/Th, La/Yb, Nd/Hf, and Sr/Y). All orthopyroxenes and some clinopyroxenes in the peridotites ha...
