Spinel lherzolite mainly composed of olivine, orthopyroxene, clinopyroxene and spinel is the major rock type of ultramafic xenoliths found in Peiliao area, Penghu Islands and Kuanshi-Liutsu area, Taiwan. On the other hand, ultramafic xenoliths found in Kimberley area, South Africa can be divided into two types: (A) lherzolite which consists of olivine, orthopyroxene and clinopyroxene; (B) harzburgite which consists mainly of olivine and orthopyroxene. In addition, ultramafic xenoliths from South Africa contain accessory minerals such as garnet, phlogopite and spinel. Based on major elements of ultramafic xenoliths analyzed in the present study, we suggest that these xenoliths belong to the residual upper mantle after different degrees of partial melting. The MgO/ΣFeO and Ca/Al ratios indicate that upper mantle beneath Kimberly area is more depleted relative to Taiwan. However, the trace elements (Ba, Cs, Hf, Nb, P, Rb, Sr, Ta, Th, U and Zr) contents of the xenoliths from Kimberley area are higher than those from Taiwan which may be due to metasomatism in the later stage.
