We have measured the delta(18)O values of the major phenocrysts (olivine, clinopyroxene and plagioclase) present in lavas from Tristan da Cunha and Gough Island. These islands, which result from the same mantle plume, have enriched radiogenic isotope ratios and are, therefore, prime candidates for an oxygen isotope signature that is distinct from that of MORB. Consistent differences between the delta(18)O values of olivine, pyroxene and feldspar in the cough lavas show that the phenocrysts in the mafic Gough Island lavas are in oxygen isotope equilibrium.
