A suite of 53 samples of mantle spinel lherzolites and harzburgites dredged at 13 sites between 52degreesE and 68degreesE along the Southwest Indian Ridge has been studied for petrography and mineral major element chemistry. Results show that the residual mantle beneath this very slow-spreading/cold ridge is strongly heterogeneous in modal and mineral compositions at local and regional scales and underwent greater extents of melting than predicted by melting model and by compositions of the basalts dredged with the peridotites. Along-axis, the peridotite compositional variability defines a concave pattern with increasing depletion at both ends of the studied section (e. g., approaching Rodrigues Triple Junction to the East and Gallieni fracture zone to the...
