This correlation is similar to that observed for Mid-Atlantic Ridge basalts (Sigurdsson& Schilling, 1976), for Hawaiian basalts (Evans & Wright, 1972; Clague et al, 1980a;Lofgren et al., 1981), and in the Stillwater complex (Jackson, 1969). The only zoned spinel isin sample X2 (Table 5), which shows increasing Mg/(Mg + Fe 2 + ) from core to rim.ClinopyroxeneWithin a single thin section, compositions of clinopyroxene grains in the Hualalaiultramafic xenoliths (Tables 6 and 7) are identical within analytical uncertainty.
