The composition of near-solidus melts formed from a model mantle of carbonated phlogopite therzolite and phlogopite lherzolite was investigated at 3.0 GPa. At I100 "C, the carbonated phlogopite lherzolite yielded 4 wto/o of alkaline dolomitic melt coexisting with garnet-rich phlogopite lherzolite, whereas, at 1225 "C, the phlogopite lherzolite produced 7 wo/o of hydrous potassic and calcic silicate melt in equilibrium with titaniferous phlogopite-bearing lherzolite. The reactivity of these melts with peridotite was determined at 2.0 GPa and 1000 'C. Alkaline dolomitic melts can metasomatize harzburgite to olivine-rich phlogopite wehrlite, and infiltration in wehrlite may produce calcite-bearing phlogopite dunite. The interaction of harzburgite with the hydrous silicate melt results in enrichment in clinopyroxene and phlogopite. A model of cyclic metasomatism active beneath a continental rift is proposed. A horizon of carbonated phlogopite lherzolite, originally formed at the base of the lithosphere by the release of dense alkaline fluids from a hot mantle plume, migrates upward by means of cycles of melting, migrating, solidifying, and reacting as rifting progresses. At a depth of 100 km, fractional melting of the carbonated phlogopite lherzolite horizon yields successively an alkaline dolomitic melt and a hydrous potassic
