L and LL – based on the iron content of the meteorites and the distribution of iron and magnesium in the major minerals olivine and pyroxene. These silicate minerals are the mineral building ...

New partitioning coefficients of first-transition row elements, Ga and Ge between olivine and silicate melt ... the authors re-assessed two aspects of lunar basalt generation.

1996; Tich et al., 2004). The quartz and olivine tholeiitic magmatic series consists of basalt, two-pyroxene basalt, dolerite basalt, and olivine-poor hyalobasalt. These have massive and vesicular ...

The XRD result showed that the samples were composed of mostly pyroxene, not olivine, as earlier studies indicated. “Preliminary works have identified that the CE-5 returned soil sample is basically ...

New research by scientists at the University of Sheffield found that adding basalt rock dust to the UK agricultural soils could absorb up to 45% of the atmospheric carbon dioxide needed to reach ...

Oman’s mantle peridotite rocks contain high levels of magnesium and calcium in two abundant minerals: olivine and pyroxene ... this magma solidified into basalt—a rock that is derived from ...

In the Supplementary Material, the rhyolite-MELTS model is compared to crystallization experiments of a low-alkali tholeiitic basalt of similar composition ... phases like plagioclase or pyroxene, in ...
