Petrographic and major and trace element geochemical features of clinopyroxene, amphibole and glass from composite xenoliths from Mt. Melbourne and Mt. Overlord (Victoria Land, Antarctica) were investigated. Amphibole disseminated in the peridotite matrix appears to grow around clinopyroxene and spi...
