Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleCryptic Mantle Metasomatism: Evidences from Spinel Lherzolite Xenoliths/Al-Harida Volcano in Harrat Al-Shaam, JordanAhmad Al-MalabehProblem statement: Al-Harida volcano is located in the Jordanian parts of the Harrat Al-Shaam plateau and contains considerable amounts of mantle xenoliths within its pyroclastic successions. Approach: These xenoliths are reported for the first time for this area. Mineralogical investigations show that they are composed of olivine, orthopyroxene, clinopyroxene, spinel and phlogopite. Results: The xenoliths range in size from 5-30 … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 12 · 31 Dec 2009 · 7,812 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleGeochemical, Petrographic and Magnetic Characteristics of Spinel Lherzolite Mantle Xenoliths from Jabal Remah Volcano, JordanAhmad Al-Malabeh, Tayel El-Hasan, Mahdi LataifehPeridotite 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 lherzolite type, which are characterized by a protogranular texture. Modally, the xenoliths are … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2009 · 7,183 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titlePetrology and Origin of Ultramfic Xenoliths from North Eastern Jordan VolcanoesHassan Al-Fugha, Mazen AL-AmairehThe distribution of major, minor and trace elements in the Cenozoic alkali basalt from north-eastern Jordan indicates a homogeneous lava flow from a mantle source. These basaltic rocks contain abundant upper mantle xenoliths (spinal lherzolite, harzburgile and olivine- websterite). Theses xenoliths contain olivine, orthopyroxne, clinoporoxene and a few amounts of spinal. Their mineral assemblages, chemistry, texture and major elements abundances … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2007 · 7,013 accessesView PDF Cite
