Determination of olivine cooling rates from metal-cation ordering
The mineral olivine - (Fe,Mg,Mn)2SiO4 - is the dominant phase in the Earth's upper mantle, and is also present in a wide range of igneous rocks. Metal cations in olivine crystals are partitioned between two structurally distinct octahedral sites, a property which could in principle be used to o...
