Depth, degrees and tectonic settings of mantle melting during craton formation: Inferences from major and trace element compositions of spinel harzburgite xenoliths from the Udachnaya kimberlite, central Siberia

We examine major and trace element compositions of whole-rocks and minerals of 18 spinel harzburgite xenoliths from the Udachnaya kimberlite in the central Siberian craton. The samples are fresh, modally homogeneous and large enough to provide representative whole-rock samples ( > 100. g); al...
