Popis: Abstract Garnet peridotite xenoliths have been rarely reported from suboceanic mantle. Petrographic and geochemical characteristics of garnet-bearing oceanic peridotite xenoliths provide precious information on dynamics of the suboceanic lithosphere and asthenosphere interaction. We examined a lherzolite xenolith included in olivine nephelinite lava from Aitutaki Island, a member of the Cook-Austral volcanic chain. The lherzolite xenolith contains reddish fine-grained (
