Peridotites lithophile trace elements

The distribution of lithophile trace elements (REE + mbidium, caesium, strontium, barium, yttrium, zirconium, hafnium, niobium, tantalum, thorium, and uranium) normalized to primitive mantle (PM) values are illustrated in Figure 16 for a range of peridotite lithologies from the Ronda orogenic Iherzolite massif, and in Figure 17 for ophiolitic and abyssal refractory peridotites. 

Figure 16 Abundances of lithophile trace elements normalized to PM values in orogenic peridotites from the Ronda massif (whole-rock analyses). Data from Remaidi (1993). Normalizing values after Sun and McDonough (1989).

Figure 17 Abundances of lithophile trace elements normalized to PM values in ophiolitic peridotites from Oman and Cuba, and in abyssal peridotites from the East Pacific Rise and the Izu-Bonin-Mariana Forearc (whole-rock analyses). Ophiolitic peridotites data from Godard et al. (2000) (reproduced by permission of Elsevier from Earth Planet. Set Lett. 2000,180, 133-148) for Oman, and from Proenza et al. (1999) for Cuba abyssal peridotites data from Niu and Hekinian (1997a) and Godard (unpublished) for the East Pacific Rise, and from Parkinson and Pearce (1998) for the Izu-Bonin-Mariana Forearc. Normalizing values after Sun and McDonough (1989).
