abstract = {The contribution of asthenosphere diapirs to the exhumation of Orogenic Lherzolites from the mantle to
the Earth’s surface stands as a major issue in the evolution of orogenic belts. Structural and textural data
from the Carratraca massifs of the Ronda peridotites, in the Betic Cordillera of southern Spain, provide
evidence for a narrow mantle diapir that was formed in Early Miocene times. Its development spent 1.1
Ma at an ascent rate of less than 4.5 mm/y. When set in its geological and petrological context, this diapir
documents the injection of hot asthenosphere into older and cooler lithospheric mantle, in response to
the delamination of the thickened lithosphere keel formed during the Mesozoic and Cenozoic convergence
of the African and Iberian plates from Cretaceous times onwards},
