TLDR
In this article, the apparent FeMg distribution coefficient between garnet and clinopyroxene is defined by K′ = X Fe X Mg ga X Fe x Mg cpx · the effects of pressure, temperature, and chemistry of the rocks on K′ were examined, using formula volumes of end members of these minerals, and the K′ values of natural eclogites.About:

An experimental study of the effect of Ca upon garnet-clinopyroxene Fe-Mg exchange equilibria
D. J. Ellis,David H. Green +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a series of basaltic compositions and compositions within the simple system CaO-MgO-FeO-Al2O3-SiO2 have been crystallized to garnet-clinopyroxene bearing mineral assemblages in the range 24-30 kb pressure, 750°-1,300° C temperature.

An experimental investigation of the gabbro to eclogite transformation and its petrological applications
David H. Green,A.E. Ringwood +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a variety of basaltic compositions have been studied experimentally in the pressure range from 1 bar to 30 kb at temperatures above 1000°C and below the basalt solidus and the mineral assemblages are characterized by coexistence of garnet, clinopyroxene, plagioclase and, commonly, quartz.

TL;DR: In this article, a comparison of eclogites from different geologic occurrences but with similar bulk compositions demonstrates variation in Ca-Mg partition between coexisting garnet and pyroxene.

An experimental investigation of the Gabbro-Eclogite transformation and some geophysical implications
A.E. Ringwood,David H. Green +1 more
TL;DR: A detailed experimental investigation of the gabbro-eclogite transformation in several basalts has been carried out in this article, where more than 200 runs at temperatures between 900 and 1,250°C and pressures up to 30 kbar were made, and the resultant phase assemblages studied by optical and X-ray techniques.
