None.
According to Paulick et al. (2006), the global analyses of mantle peridotites form a 'Terrestrial Array' in the binary plot Al2O3/SiO2 vs. MgO/SiO2. This linear correlation reflects the successive magmatic depletion of a primitive mantle and highly depleted compositions are characterized by low Al2O3/SiO2 values (<0.01; Jagoutz et al. 1979; Hart and Zindler 1986).
