Abstract: Abstract The formation and differentiation of planetary bodies are thought to involve magma oceans stages. We study the case of a planetary mantle crystallizing upwards from a global magma ocean. In this scenario, it is… read more here.

DOI: 10.1130/g47887.1
Abstract: The dearth of cumulate magmatic roots in accretionary orogens is a cornerstone of models that postulate redistribution of mass and energy within the crust for the genesis of intermediate to silicic magmatism. Likewise, the origin… read more here.

Cumulate olivine: A novel host for heavy rare earth element mineralization
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2020 at "Geology"
DOI: 10.1130/g48417.1
Abstract: Olivine is one of the most important minerals used to reconstruct magmatic processes, yet the rare earth element (REE) systematics of Fe-rich olivine in igneous rocks and ore deposits is poorly understood. As detected by… read more here.
