Ultra-refractory mantle xenoliths from ocean islands: How do they compare to peridotites retrieved from oceanic sub-arc mantle? by Neumann, Else-Ragnhild, Simon, Nina S.C.

“…Ultra-refractory harzburgitic mantle is abundantly sampled as xenoliths in ocean island magmas. Its occurrence has potentially important implications for both…”

The effect of mantle composition on density in the extending lithosphere by Simon, Nina S.C., Podladchikov, Yuri Yu

“…The density distribution of the lithosphere is non-linear and discontinuous due to complex mineralogy and, most importantly, phase transitions. We evaluate the…”
