Abstract: | This comment addresses the interpretation of oxygen fugacitydata for spinel peridotite xenoliths from five Mexican volcanicfields presented by Luhr & Aranda-Gomez (Journal of Petrology,38, 10751112, 1997). The postulated eastwest increaseof the FMQ (relative oxygen fugacity, where FMQis fayalitemagnetitequartz) values is inherentto the method and therefore of questionable geological significance.Increases in FMQ do not necessarily mirror oxidation processesin the mantle controlled by subduction-related fluids. KEY WORDS: mantle metasomatism; Mexico; peridotite xenoliths; relative oxygen fugacity |
