Journal ArticleDOI
Geochemical discrimination of different magma series and their differentiation products using immobile elements
TL;DR: In this article, the abundance and distribution of selected minor and trace elements (Ti, Zr, Y, Nb, Ce, Ga and Sc) in fresh volcanic rocks can be used to classify the differentiation products of subalkaline and alkaline magma series in a similar manner to methods using normative or major-element indices.

The genesis of basaltic magmas
David H. Green,A.E. Ringwood +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the results of a detailed experimental investigation of fractionation of natural basaltic compositions under conditions of high pressure and high temperature were reported, where a single stage, pistoncylinder apparatus has been used in the pressure range up to 27 kb and at temperatures up to 1500° C to study the melting behaviour of several basaltics compositions.

Partial melting of dry peridotites at high pressures: Determination of compositions of melts segregated from peridotite using aggregates of diamond
Kei Hirose,Ikuo Kushiro +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the compositions of melts formed by partial melting of two relatively fertile spinel lherzolites were determined at pressures between 10 and 30 kbar under dry conditions using a layer of diamond aggregates sandwiched between peridotite layers.
Journal Article
Melting of a dry peridotite at high pressures and basalt magma genesis
Eiichi Takahashi,Ikuo Kushiro +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a thin layer of basalt was sandwiched between compressed blocks of peridotite minerals and then was equilibrated with its host at melting temperatures.
Journal ArticleDOI
The bearing of phase equilibria studies in synthetic and natural systems on the origin and evolution of basic and ultrabasic rocks
TL;DR: In this article, a revised closed system model of basalt evolution is presented, based upon these controlling factors; depth of partial melting, extent of part melting, speed of movement towards the surface, and olivine extraction.
