Some high-Mg eclogite xenoliths, entrained by kimberlites from the mantle lithospheres of ancient continental cores, and rare orogenic eclogites and ophiolites, exhumed or obducted during the closure of palaeo-ocean basins, have elemental and isotopic compositions indicative of protoliths that formed as little-differentiated melts erupted in ancient ocean floors. Despite metamorphism and, in part, partial melt loss, these samples of ancient mid-ocean ridge basalt and picrite retain a memory of the chemical and physical state of their protoliths' ambient convecting mantle sources. Published data show that, when filtered to exclude specimens with cumulate protoliths or showing evidence for later enrichment (metasomatism), the samples lack Y or Al2O3 depletion relative to TiO2 and MgO. This indicates melt segregation of the protolith predominantly from a garnet-free peridotite source and implies intersection of the solidus at low pressures (
