 | | The liquidus temperature of olivine is derived from the second equation, with Mg# calculated from olivine using Mg# (melt) = 1/([1/Fo - 1]/Kd + 1), where Kd = 0.30 ± 0.03. |
 | | Clinopyroxene and orthopyroxene compositions are plotted against liquidus temperatures of the corresponding samples derived from olivine compositions. |
 | | The relationships of the composition and liquidus temperatures of olivine and basaltic melts are derived from well-established experimental results and phase equilibrium analyses (e.g., Roeder and Emslie, 1970; Bender et al., 1978; Walker et al., 1979; Langmuir and Hanson, 1981; Nielsen and Dungan, 1983; Weaver and Langmuir, 1990; Grove et al., 1992): T |
