We study peridotite xenoliths hosted by Cenozoic basalts from Tianchang.
We report major, trace elements and H2O contents of the olivine, orthopyroxene and clinopyroxene.
The H2O contents are controlled by partial melting rather than metasomatic events.
The Cenozoic lithospheric mantle of the Tianchang was accreted from asthenospheric mantle.
