Recognition of mantle-derived rocks and their role in the evolution of geological thought
Keywords:
history of science, mantel, peridotite
Abstract
Since the beginning of the 1960th two new events have revolutionized the evolution of geological thought. One of them, the plate tectonics, which is well known to the public, the other one is the recognition of mantle-derived rocks and the new results related to the investigation of the latter samples. Even if these results have also revolutionized the earth sciences, the real significance of this issue is known to a narrower group of specialists only. The present paper discusses the history of recognition of mantle samples and it tries to show the immense progress of our knowledge due to the detailed investigations of these rock samples.
