This study presents volatile, trace, and major element compositions of silicate glasses (nepheline-hosted melt inclusions and matrix glass) from the 2007–2008 explosive eruption at Oldoinyo Lengai volcano, Tanzania. The bulk compositions of the heterogeneous ash erupted in 2007–2008 are consistent with physical mixing between juvenile nephelinite magma and natrocarbonatite emplaced during the preceding ∼25 years of effusive carbonatite eruption. The melt inclusions and matrix glasses span a...
