A Thermodynamic Model for the Subsolidus Evolution and Melting of Peridotite
(2021)We present a structural update to the thermodynamic model for calculating peridotite phase relations and melt compositions at 0·01 to 60 kbar and from 600 °C to the peridotite liquidus in the system K2O–Na2O–CaO–FeO–MgO– ... -
Uranium-lead geochronology applied to pyrope garnet with very low concentrations of uranium
(2023)We present U–Pb dates from peridotitic pyrope-rich garnet from four mantle xenoliths entrained in a kimberlite from Bultfontein, South Africa. Garnet dates magmatic emplacement due to the high mantle residence temperatures ...
