Do Olivine Crystallization Temperatures Faithfully Record Mantle Temperature Variability?
Abstract Crystallization temperatures of primitive olivine crystals have been widely used as both a proxy for, or an intermediate step in calculating, mantle temperatures. The olivine‐spinel aluminum‐exchange thermometer has been applied to samples from mid‐ocean ridges and large igneous provinces,...
