Classification into lherzolite, wehrlite, eclogite series and gabbro group, lherzolite series rocks viewed as major upper mantle constituents, wehrlites as lower parts of solidified magma reservoirs below volcanoes, eclogites as local pockets in lherzolite rocks, compositional data, theories of nodule origin, crystallization sequence, material mainly from Salt Lake crater (Honolulu)
