Interrogating physical processes that occur within the lowermost mantle is a key to understanding Earth's evolution and present-day inner composition. Among such processes, partial melting has been… (More)
20 Serpentine minerals in natural samples are dominated by lizardite and antigorite. In 21 spite of numerous petrological experiments, the stability fields of these species remain poorly 22… (More)
While Fluid-Mobile Elements (FMEs) such as B, Sb, Li, As or Cs are particularly concentrated in serpentinites, data on FME fluid–serpentine partitioning, distribution, and sequestration mechanisms… (More)
[1] The fate of carbonates in the Earth’s mantle plays a key role in the geodynamical carbon cycle. Although iron is a major component of the Earth’s lower mantle, the stability of Fe-bearing… (More)
Any poorly crystalline serpentine-type mineral with a lack of recognizable textural or diffraction features for typical serpentine varieties (i.e., chryotile, lizardite, and antigorite) is usually… (More)
