Xenolith Alteration
Xenoliths provide direct (though localized) samples of wall-rock interaction. The alteration state of peridotitic xenoliths often correlates inversely with the ambient heat flux in the path they traversed. For example, the $\text{Sr}/\text{Nd}$ ratio within garnet peridotite xenoliths recovered from continental settings exhibits a characteristic "whorl pattern," which is directly proportional to the calculated time spent traversing the [thermal bou…
