The relationship between the olivine modal abundance calculated by Ol (wt%) = 144.27ln((Fe + Mg + Ca + 2Na) / Si) and the bulk MgO content suggests that both peridotite and pyroxenite show large variations in the MgO content with a constant olivine content (Fig. 1 b). Our model suggests that if < 30 wt% MORB is mixed with DMM …
اقرأ أكثرPyroxenite is an ultramafic igneous rock consisting essentially of minerals of the pyroxene group, such as augite, diopside, hypersthene, bronzite or enstatite.
