The Missing Magmas of MOR: Insights From Phase Equilibrium Experiments on Plagioclase Ultraphyric Basalts
Abstract Plagioclase ultraphyric basalts (PUBs) are a class of mid‐ocean ridge (MOR) lavas found in a variety of ocean floor environments, are characterized by abundant (15–40 volume %) plagioclase megacrysts and a diverse trace element and isotopic signature. Paradoxically, we never see lavas erupt...
