Convective Instability in Intraplate Oceanic Mantle Caused by Amphibolite-Derived Garnet-Pyroxenites—A Xenolith Perspective (Hyblean Plateau, Sicily)
Geochemical characteristics of middle ocean ridge basalts (MORBs) testify partial melting of spinel-peridotite mixed with a few amounts of garnet-pyroxenite. The latter can be considered either autochthonous products of the crystallization of partial melts in the sub-oceanic mantle or allocthonous r...
