Near-solidus Melting of the Shallow Upper Mantle: Partial Melting Experiments on Depleted Peridotite
We present the results of melting experiments on a moderately depleted peridotite composition (DMM1) at 10 kbar and 1250±1390 C. Specially designed experiments demonstrate that liquids extracted into aggregates of vitreous carbon spheres maintained chemical contact with the bulk charge down to melt fractions of 0 02±0 04 and approached equilibrium closely. With increasing melt fraction, SiO2, F...

Lashaine volcano, northern Tanzania, differs from other xenoliths In a mica-bearing melt pocket, Rb and Ba partition preferentially at this locality in containing glassy melt pockets. Modal, min...
متن کاملCalculation of Peridotite Partial Melting from Thermodynamic Models of Minerals and Melts. I. Review of Methods and Comparison with Experiments
Thermodynamic calculation of partial melting of peridotite using of the results of calculations of peridotite melting using MELTS, there are a number of shortcomings to application of this thermothe MELTS algorithm has the potential to aid understanding of a wide range of problems related to mantle melting. We review the dynamic model to calculations of mantle melting. In particular, calculated...
متن کاملCalculation of Peridotite Partial Melting from Thermodynamic Models of Minerals and Melts. II. Isobaric Variations in Melts near the Solidus and owing to Variable Source Composition
We examine several issues related to peridotite partial melting by composition (Na2O decreases, CaO/Al2O3 increases) are similar to the effects of increasing total extent of melting of a fixed source performing thermodynamic calculations using the MELTS algorithm. composition, and the two phenomena may therefore be difficult to MELTS calculations suggest that the high alkali content of neardisc...
متن کاملMelting of peridotite to 140 gigapascals.
Interrogating physical processes that occur within the lowermost mantle is a key to understanding Earth's evolution and present-day inner composition. Among such processes, partial melting has been proposed to explain mantle regions with ultralow seismic velocities near the core-mantle boundary, but experimental validation at the appropriate temperature and pressure regimes remains challenging....
