Geochemical Insights from Wadi Sarami Peridotites

This episode examines the geochemical and mineralogical characteristics of Wadi Sarami abyssal peridotites, including their spatial transition, Cr# values in spinels, and REE patterns. We discuss fluid metasomatism, hornblende formation, and the role of small-scale mantle heterogeneities in partial melting processes. These findings connect local mantle dynamics to global mid-ocean ridge studies, uncovering shared and unique geochemical markers.
