a. Zr/Hf and b. V/Sc vs. ∑HREE in reconstructed bulk eclogite and pyroxenite xenoliths from Balmoral producing a linear array for high-Ca eclogites that originates in the compositional field of corundum-bearing eclogites; c. clinopyroxene Al [IV] vs. Y abundance; d. Y/Yb vs. ∑HREE in reconstructed bulk xenoliths. Shown for comparison in b. are oceanic crustal cumulates (whole rock Eu/Eu* > 1.05) from PetDB (www.earthchem.org/petdb). Light grey fields show range of compositions of kimberlites and lamproites from the Kaapvaal craton (Becker & Le Roex, 2006), dark grey field encompasses samples suggested to have experienced both kimberlite-like melt metasomatism and Karoo-type melt metasomatism (see text). Shown for comparison are compositions of Karoo lavas (Jourdan et al., 2007).
