Crustal structure of Lanzarote and magma ascent path for the Timanfaya 1730 to 1736 eruption recorded by mineralogy and fluid inclusions of lower crustal xenoliths

Key Points

• The study reveals new insights on magma ascent paths based on fluid inclusions in lower crustal xenoliths.
• Key evidence includes mineralogical changes observed in xenolith samples from the Timanfaya eruption period.
• Analysis of lower crustal xenoliths highlights the crustal structure of Lanzarote and its volcanic activity.
• This work suggests a deeper understanding of volcanic processes in Lanzarote; further regional studies are needed.
