1. Introduction Small Cretaceous volcanoes exposed on Mount Carmel (Northern Israel) and associated Plio-Pleistocene paleoplacers in the adjacent Kishon Valley contain xenoliths (up to cm size) comprising aggregates of corundum crystals with intercrystalline to interstitial melt pockets. The melt pockets and individual mineral inclusions in corundum contain a remarkable assemblage of minerals crystallized under highly reducing conditions [1].
1. Introduction Super-reduced mineral assemblages are found worldwide in association with explosive volcanism (kimberlites, alkali basalts, tholeiitic basalts) and in ophiolites associated with deep subduction at continental plate margins [1,2,3]. Their origin has been controversial, with claims that they are of anthropogenic origin.
