摘要
Knowledge of the trace element distributions and concentrations in main mineral phases of mantle-derived rocks is particularly useful for understanding the partial melting, depletion and enrichment processes, and metasomatism in the earth’s mantle. Trace element data on mantle peridotites were usually obtained with large uncertainty by neutron activation analysis in China previously. We have determined trace element concentration of 173 grains of clinopyroxene (cpx) in 50 peridotite xenoliths from different areas in China using the pro-
