Heavy REE are compatible in clinopyroxene on the spinel lherzolite solidus

Trace element partitioning between clinopyroxene and melt was investigated experimentally under conditions appropriate to near-solidus melting of spinel lherzolite in the upper mantle. Starting material was a high-Na, Al basalt glass previously shown to be a very low degree (~1%) partial melt of spi...
