Figure 4 The FeO contents of samples from the same suites as in Figures 2 and 3, samples from Zabargad island and samples from two xenoliths suites from Vitim (Baikal region) and Hessian Depression (Germany). The FeO contents are, similar to Cr in Figure 3, independent of the fertility of the mantle rocks as reflected in their MgO...

Some HSE ratios in upper mantle rocks often show significant deviations from chondritic ratios. For example, Schmidt et al. (2000) reported a 20-40% enhancement of ruthenium relative to iridium and Cl-chondrites in spinel Iherzolites from the Zabargad island. Data by Pattou et al. (1996) on Pyrenean peridotites, analyses of abyssal peridotites by Snow and Schmidt (1998), and data by Rehkamper et al. (1997) on various mantle rocks suggest that higher than chondritic Ru/lr ratios are widespread and may be characteristic of a larger fraction, if not of the whole of the upper mantle. A parallel enrichment is found for rhodium in Zabargard rocks (Schmidt et al, 2000). There are.
