TL;DR: This paper examined three migmatites in detail: a contact metamorphosed cherty band from an iron formation, an Archaean regional granulite from an accretionary prism, and an amphibolite-facies sample from the roots of an Archean mountain chain.

TL;DR: The evolution of these structures during prograde melting and later, later, retrograde cooling can be understood using concepts derived from experimental simulation and materials science as mentioned in this paper, which can be used to understand the former presence of melt in rocks which have undergone cooling and exhumation over millions of years.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used Rayleigh fractionation to constrain the final porosities or trapped liquid contents to 30-52% in LZa troctolites, decreasing to 4-12% at the top of LZb olivine-gabbroses.

TL;DR: The first appearance of paired conjugate non-reactive intergrowths in MZ* (Marginal Border Series) points to the early onset of immiscibility in the bulk liquid as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: This introductory article provides a synopsis of the current understanding of the form and dynamics of magma reservoirs in the crust, based on a range of experimental, observational and theoretical approaches.
