Depth variation of seismic anisotropy in Central Europe lithosphere : A tectonical synthesis from spinel lherzolite

Abstract

Spinel lherzolite xenoliths from the Neogene Kozákov volcano provide an exceptionally continuous record of the depth variation (32 - 70 km) in seismic and petrological properties of subcontinental lithospheric mantle.
