Short summary
We present the first determinations of the Fe oxidation state of tiny spinel inclusions (<40 µm) in olivine from a wehrlitic lapillus collected at Mt. Vulture (Italy) via in situ synchrotron Mössbauer spectroscopy. These data, along with the chemistry of olivine and (rare) orthopyroxene, allowed us to calculate the logfO2 of the wehrlitic sample. This study opens the possibility to retrieve the redox state of mantle xenoliths using the Fe3+ / ∑Fe and chemistry of spinel inclusions in olivine.
