Peridotite Xenolith Fragments from Late Quaternary Pyroclastic Flow in Weizhou Island, Beihai, Guangxi Province
详细信息   
摘要

Weizhou Island in Beihai City of Guangxi Province is the largest Quaternary volcanic oceanic island in China. The latest eruptive product is basanitoid, which covers the tuffite strata of Late Pleistocene Huguangyan Formation. It is worth mentioning that many peridotite xenoliths were found in the strata. They are distributed in the basanitoid pyroclastic flow with the unique form of volcanic breccia, quite different from normal xenoliths. As the xenoliths have experienced blasting, they might be called xenolith fragments. Obviously, such xenoliths constitute one of the most peculiar types of peridotite xenolith occurrence. The original xenoliths might have been dunite and harzburgite.
