A Liquidus Geothermometer for Snc, Lunar, and Eucritic Magmas
نویسنده
چکیده
Figure 1 summarizes of 82 such experiments for SNC compositions using a T vs. MgO diagram, where T is the temperature of the experiment and MgO is the magnesia content of the glass quenched from that temperature [1-8]. All of these experiments were performed at one bar pressure and most were performed near the FMQ oxygen buffer. The data define a smooth trend and have been fitted with a third order polynomial. The data are well fit by the equation

COMPARING THE EFFECTS OF H2O, F, AND Cl ON NEAR-LIQUIDUS PHASE EQUILIBRIA OF A MODEL HIGH-Fe BASALT: IMPLICATIONS FOR VOLATILE INDUCED MANTLE
Introduction: Volatile species, such as H2O, CO2, F, and Cl, are important in the generation and differentiation of basaltic melts. On the Earth, dissolved H2O (or in certain circumstances CO2) is thought to be the dominant volatile in most basaltic magmas. Therefore, significant effort has been placed on understanding how water and CO2 affect basalt genesis and crystallization of terrestrial m...

Introduction: The most important parameter for understanding the dynamic state of the interiors of rocky planets is the average temperature of the planet (typically referred to as the potential temperature, TP, which is the fictive temperature the planet would have if it’s interior were decompressed along a solid adiabat to the surface of the planet). Because there are no direct ways for estima...
متن کاملThe Effect of Co2 on Density of Molten Apollo 14 Black Glass at High Pressure
Introduction: Knowledge of the density, compressibility and other physical properties of magmas at high pressure are required in order to understand the differentiation of the lunar interior. We present here the first experiments to determine the effect of dissolved volatiles on the physical properties of ultramafic mantle melts as represented by the lunar picritic glasses. Lunar picritic glass...
متن کاملRelative chronology of crust formation on asteroid Vesta: Insights from the geochemistry of diogenites
The eucrites and diogenites are meteorites that probably originate from asteroid 4-Vesta. The upper part of the crust of this body is certainly composed of eucrites which are basaltic or gabbroic rocks. Diogenites are ultramafic cumulates whose relationships with eucritic lithologies are unknown. Here, we show that the orthopyroxenes of some diogenites display very deep negative Eu anomalies (E...
متن کاملPhase relationships of Itype granite with H2O to 35 kilobars The Dinkey Lakes biotitegranite from the Sierra Nevada Batholith
The Dinkey Lakes biotite-granite from the Sierra Nevada batholith was reacted (with varying percentages of H20 in sealed platinum capsules) in a piston-cylinder apparatus between 10 and 35 kbar. The results were combined with the results from previously published experiments to provide comprehensive phase relationships for an I-type granite: a P-T diagram with excess H20; isobaric T-X•2o diagra...
