For the GeoPeP 2003 we drawed samples in the Eifel, Germany, during a 2-day-trip on 9./10. 05. 2003

• “Deudesfeld”, W´side of “Meerfelder Maar” / mantle xenoliths
• “Pulvermaar”, E´ of “Gillenfeld” / pyroxenites
• "Dreiser Weiher” / mantle xenoliths

• "Rothenberg“ / mantle xenoliths

For the further analyses we limited to the samples (xenoliths and one megacrystal) E-01-A, E-01-C and E-01-D from “Deudesfeld”, W´ side of the “Meerfelder Maar” (Fig. 1), sample E-41 from “Rothenberg”, provided from Cliff Shaw (Fig. 2) and a CPX from “Brück”.

Fig. 1: Photos show the outcrop near Deudesfeld, at the western side of the “Meerfelder Maar”.
The deposits are out of surges with bombs in the lower part.
The found mantle xenoliths are distributed all over the deposit.

The rock contains few small, up to 3 cm diameter, mantle xenoliths.
