摘要: Abstract Peridotite and granite xenoliths, in the early stage of weathering, occur Nyos volcanic region (NW Cameroon). Geochemical data shows that peridotites are marked by high concentrations MgO (42.30 wt.%, with SiO 2 /MgO ∼ 1), chromium (2100 ppm), nickel (2100 ppm) cobalt (104 ppm), as well low lanthanide contents (ΣREE: 7.41 ppm). Granites display (70–73 wt.%), mostly peraluminous (1.40 > A/CNK  The geochemical survey Platinum-Group Elements (PGE) done these rocks weathering PGE less than 7 ppb peridotites. highly concentrated elements ruthenium (6.26 ppb) platinum (5.53 ppb). total content is 14.57 ppb. These normalized respect to chondrites a flat spectrum from iridium platinum. granites below detection limit except for two samples (LNY01 LNY02) whose close 0.23 ppb.
