The high-attenuation area observed at the corner of the mantle wedge corresponds to an area of low velocity and moderate-to-high Vp/Vs ratio, where serpentinization may occur (e.g., Kamiya and Kobayashi 2000; Matsubara et al. 2005).
NAJAF, Iraq — Wedged in the corner of a squat brick building in this holy Muslim city, Sheikh Aladdin al-Jazari's cramped office belies his ties to a powerful patron: the supreme leader of Iran.

The corner of the mantle wedge in the continental plate may be serpentinized, but the extent of serpentinization is limited to a small region below the Moho.
