Abstract
The abundant and fresh glass and the idiomorphic shape of the high-temperature minerals suggest that the xenoliths were hold in the basaltic magma, before its extrusion, for a significant time to allow their partial or nearly complete melting and subsequent nucleation and growth of new phases. During this stage, the interaction between the anatectic liquid and the basaltic magma affected the original isotopic composition of the xenoliths and, in some cases, produced glass and mineral phases (cordierite, plagioclase and oxides) with different composition.
