Origin of primitive high-Mg andesite: Constraints from natural examples and experiments

The occurrence in arcs of high-magnesium andesites with Mg#'s of around 0.7 implies that such rocks are generated in, or equilibrated with, mantle peridotite under conditions which do not pertain beneath ridges. In this paper we use a review of experimental data on anhydrous peridotite melting...
