Abstract

The spinel peridotite inclusions in basalts from Sardinia are upper-mantle residues affected by metasomatism which led to an enrichment particularly of U and light REE. The metasomatism took place prior to the recrystallization which produced the primary mineral assemblage of the inclusions. The compositional variations imply that the xenoliths are residual after at least two melting events.
