Mantle deformation during rifting: Constraints from quantitative microstructural analysis of olivine from the East African Rift (Marsabit, Kenya)

Lherzolitic and harzburgitic peridotite xenoliths from the Marsabit volcanic field of the East-African Rift,Kenya, display a range of porphyroclastic to ultramylonitic textures that record intense deformation andstrain localisation during decompression, cooling and exhumation of subcontinental mantl...
