Abstract

The Kef Lakhal amphibolitcs and associated amphibolitc and olivine-rich enclaves are dcscribcd and their major and trace element chemistry indicates that both amphibolites were evolved medium to high alumina tholeiitic basalts with talc-alkaline affinities probably formed within plate settings. The olivine-rich enclaves are disrupted periodotites of the type lherzolite-harzburgite and probably represent mantle residua after melting.
