Abstract
The Balmuccia peridotite shows evidence, in the form of a network of dykes, of partial melting and flow crystallization processes. The partial melting processes probably occurred over a fairly long time interval, and seem to have been related to different “melting pulses”. Resultant liquids were broadly picritic. Melting occurred incongruently according to the scheme cpx+opx+(ol+sp)=Mg-richer ol+Cr-richer sp+L.
