High‐pressure elasticity of δ‐(Al,Fe)OOH single crystals and seismic detectability of hydrous MORB in the shallow lower mantle

Oxyhydroxides like δ-(Al,Fe)OOH may stabilize “water” in Mid-Ocean Ridge Basalts (MORB) subducted into the Earth’s lower mantle. The single crystal elasticity of δ-(Al,Fe)OOH has not been experimentally constrained, hampering an accurate evaluation of the seismic detectability of this high-pressure...
