Geochemical data of Al-rich diopside pyroxenites from the Premosello mantle peridotite massif, Ivrea-Verbano Zone, Southern Alps

Year: 2025

Type: data-paper

Abstract: contents (except in Ol). The trace element composition of Cpx and Amph from the Al-rich diopside pyroxenite shows strong rare earth elements (REE) fractionation and enrichments in LREEs and MREEs over the HREEs, and is distinct from other pyroxenite compositions (i.e., Al-augite and Cr-diopside pyroxenites) reported from the Premosello and other IVZ lherzolitic peridotite massifs. The geochemical data presented herein, therefore, offer valuable insights into the compositional variability and formation processes of mantle pyroxenites, and may contribute to unravelling the broader evolutionary history of the Earth's subcontinental lithospheric mantle, in particular at Moho levels.
