An experimental study of Fe-Mg partitioning between garnet and olivine and its calibration as a geothermometer
The partitioning of Fe and Mg between coexisting garnet and olivine has been studied at 30 kb pressure and temperatures of 900 ° to 1,400 °C. The results of both synthesis and reversal experiments demonstrate that KD (= (Fe/Mg)gt/(Fe/Mg)OI) is strongly dependent on Fe/Mg ratio and on the calcium con...
