Abstract

From the results of 747 experiments on dry basic and ultrabasic magmas and related synthetic systems equations have been derived which predict the olivine/liquid cation partition coefficients for Mg (correlation coefficient r = 0·996), Fe2+ (r = 0·993), Ca (r = 0·79) and Mn (r = 0·70) as a function ...
