Garnet Lherzolite and Other Inclusions from a Basalt Flow, Bow Hill, Tasmania

Mafic granulites and clinopyroxenite xenoliths from the Transdanubian Volcanic Region (Hungary): implications for the deep structure of the Pannonian Basin

“…The lower continental crust is probably typically composed of plagioclase-and garnet-bearing granulite material, but generally these lithologies are only observed when brought up as xenoliths in alkali basalts (e.g. Lovering and White, 1964;Hutchison and Gass, 1971;Wilkinson, 1975;Okrusch et al, 1979;Kay and Kay, 1981;Wass and Hollis, 1983;Sutherland et al, 1984;Upton et al, 1984;Downes and Leyreloup, 1986;Griffin and O'Reilly, 1987;Stosch, 1987).…”

Lherzolite xenoliths in kimberlites and basalts: petrogenetic and crystallochemical significance of some minor and trace elements in olivine, pyroxenes, garnet and spinel

“…Among the many relevant analyses in the literature, the following are representative: lherzolite xenoliths from Lesotho kimberlites (Nixon 1973, plots (Boyd & Nixon 1975)); megacrysts from the Monastery and Bellsbank kimberlites (Gurney et al 1979;Boctor & Boyd 1982); coarse and deformed lherzolite and deformed harzburgites in the Premier kimberlite, South Africa (Danchin & Boyd 1976;Danchin 1979); garnet peridotites in a Montana kimberlite (Hearn & Boyd 1975); Cr-rich and Cr-poor megacrysts in Colorado-Wyoming kimberlites (Eggler et al 1979); megacrysts in the Fayette County kimberlite, Pennsylvania (Hunter & Taylor 1984); cataclastic peridotites, megacrysts and groundmass in the Udachnaya and Obnazhennaya pipes, Siberia (Kostrovitskiy & Fiveyskaya 1983, analyses of Al, Ca, Ti, Mn, Co, Cu, Ni, Zn); collection of many data for kimberlites in the U.S.S.R. (Sobolev 1977); spinel peridotites and wehrlites in alkali basalts at Eifel, West Germany, San Carlos and Kilbourne Hole, U.S.A., and Mongolia (Stosch 1981, analyses of Sc, Cr, Co and Ni); spinel lherzolite and harzburgite in basanite at Kapfenstein, Austria (Kurat et al 1980, analyses of Al, Ca, Sc, Ti, Cr, Mn, Co, Ni, Zn); ultramafic xenoliths in alkali basalts at San Quintin, Baja California (Basu 1979, analyses of Sr); peridotites in Ngopetsoeu and Lipelaneng kimberlites, Lesotho (Carswell et al 1984); spinel peridotites in Lherz and Freychinede ultramafic bodies, France (Conquer^ & Fabries 1984); Benfontein kimberlite, South Africa (McMahon & Haggerty 1984); inclusions in diamonds from the Orapa and Roberts Victor kimberlites (Gurney et al 1984a, b); garnet lherzolites in Hanaus-I and Louwrensia kimberlites, Namibia (Mitchell 1984); Arkansas lamproite (Scott Smith & Skinner 1984); Orroroo kimberlites, Australia ; garnet peridotites with zoned garnets in The Thumb minette (Smith & Ehrenberg 1984); garnet lherzolites in Bow Hill basalt, Tasmania (Sutherland et al 1984).…”

Olivine ‘leucitites’, their xenolith and megacryst suites, Hoskings Peaks, north Queensland

“…Again the clinopyroxene is very pale green, and the jadeite molecule probably is dominant suggesting a high-pressure origin. Megacrysts of similar Ti, Na and Al-rich augite compositions occur in basalts and associated lavas in south Queensland (Sutherland et al 1990), northeastern New South Wales (Binns et al 1970Jaques & Perkin 1984), central New South Wales 'analcimites' particularly at Harden, New South Wales (Cundari 1973), in Victoria (Ellis 1976Wass 1979), and in Tasmania (Sutherland et al 1984) as well as in leucitites at Chacay Patagonia (Corbella 1990).…”
