Abstract: | The mafic granulites from the Northern Apennines commonly containsignificant amounts of either olivine or FeTi-oxide phases.On the basis of mineralogy and whole-rock major and trace elementcompositions, their protoliths are recognized as cumulus rocksderived from variably evolved tholeiitic liquids. Clinopyroxenesfrom the olivine-bearing rocks show peculiar trace element compositions(e.g. low amounts of Cr, Zr and lanthanides, coupled with relativelyhigh Sr concentrations) that record a process of granulite-faciestrace element redistribution controlled by a reaction betweenolivine and plagioclase. The trace element compositions of clinopyroxenesfrom the FeTi-oxide-bearing rocks point to igneous geochemicaltrends that argue for a common igneous parentage. The |
