Chemical Modification of Lherzolite Xenoliths Due to Interaction with Host Basanite Melt: Evidence from Tumusun Volcano, Baikal Rift Zone

Chemical Modification of Lherzolite Xenoliths Due to Interaction with Host Basanite Melt: Evidence from Tumusun Volcano, Baikal Rift Zone

To investigate the process and chemistry of mineral reaction zone formation, we conducted detailed petrographic observations and chemical analysis of rocks and minerals of spinel lherzolite xenoliths from basanites of Tumusun volcano (Baikal Rift Zone). The reaction zones gradually disappear from co...
