Nineteen olivine-hosted melt inclusions
from seven volcanoes (Etna, Stromboli, Vulcano, Ustica, Alicudi, Marsili and Vavilov)
from the southern Italy region were analyzed
for abundances o
f major, trace, and volatile elements, along with Pb isotope ratios (
207Pb/
206Pb,
208Pb/
206Pb and
206Pb/
204Pb). The systematics o
f primary volatile (in particular F and Cl) compositions and Pb isotopes identi
fy three main geochemically distinct mantle sources
for this region: (1) a component with radiogenic Pb (
207Pb/
206Pb = 0.780) and low volatile element abundances typi
fied by the Etnean melt inclusions, (2) a component with moderately radiogenic Pb (
207Pb/
206Pb = 0.798) and high volatile abundance mainly associated with Sommata magmas, and (3) a component with moderate volatile abundances associated with a MORB-like
207Pb/
206Pb (0.830).
The variation of F/Nd and Pb isotopes among the southern Italy melt inclusions reflects mixing between a slightly modified depleted mantle (DMM-EMII mixture) and radiogenic (HIMU-like) mantle components expressed in Pb isotope space, superimposed by slab-derived metasomatic components represented by F/Nd (F/Nd > 30).
