Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPetrology, Geochemistry and Magnetization of Remah Volcano North Eastern JordanMazen AL-AmairehPeridotite ultramafic mantle xenoliths are occurring abundantly in the Harrat Al-Shaam basaltic province. Jabal Remah volcano is located in the Jordanian parts of the plateau and contains considerable amounts of mantle xenoliths within its pyroclastic successions. Mineralogical investigations show that the xenoliths are mostly of the spinel Iherzolite type, which are characterized by a protogranular texture. Modally, the xenoliths are … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2007 · 7,101 accessesView PDFCite
