TL;DR: In this article, the authors presented new reference values for the NIST SRM 610-617 glasses following ISO guidelines and the International Association of Geoanalysts' protocol, and determined quantitatively possible element inhomogeneities using different test portion masses of 1, 0.1 and 0.02μg.

TL;DR: Olivine phenocrysts' compositions record differences in the contributions of pyroxenite-derived melts in mid-ocean ridge basalts, which imply involvement of 2 to 20% (up to 28%) of recycled crust in mantle melting.

TL;DR: This paper presented petrological evidence for a large amount of dense recycled oceanic crust in the head of the plume and developed a thermomechanical model that predicts no pre-magmatic uplift and requires no lithospheric extension.

TL;DR: The results indicate that the oxidized nature of the upper mantle can no longer be regarded as being representative for the Earth’s upper mantle as a whole and instead that oxidation is a shallow phenomenon restricted to an upper veneer only about 250 km in thickness.

TL;DR: Olivine is represented by two populations (olivine-I and groundmass olivine-II) differing in morphology, colour and grain size, and trapped mineral and melt inclusions.
