Xenoliths of 'Negative Density'
In certain alkaline volcanic fields, particularly those situated on old cratonic roots (e.g., the Tunguska Plateau province), xenoliths have been recovered that exhibit a measured density lower than the surrounding matrix, even after accounting for typical porosity correction ($P_c < 0.05$). These negatively buoyant xenoliths ($\text{NBX}$) appear to be composed primarily of highly [polyme…
