THE OXIDATION-STATE OF THE EARTHS SUB-OCEANIC MANTLE FROM OXYGEN THERMOBAROMETRY OF ABYSSAL SPINEL PERIDOTITES
THE oxygen fugacity (fO2), or redox state, of the Earth's mantle is an important parameter in the evolution of mantle-derived magmatic rocks. Most estimates of the upper-mantle redox state have been based on samples of the sub-continental mantle and terrestrial lavas, and estimates of fO2 obtai...
