Abstract
The petrographic and geochemical characteristics of CBVF products suggest that the magma originated from a garnet-bearing lherzolite mantle source with asthenospheric characteristics, as a result of decompression, partial melting and ascent. These melts would have risen through a system of deep faults like the Gastre Fault System, following the last Quaternary glacial event.
