THE OXIDATION-STATE OF THE EARTHS SUB-OCEANIC MANTLE FROM OXYGEN THERMOBAROMETRY OF ABYSSAL SPINEL PERIDOTITES
- Abstract:
-
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 obtained by thermo-barometric methods tend to cluster within ±1.5 log units of the FMQ (fayalite-magnetite-quartz) reference oxygen fugacity buffer. Much less is known about the redox state of the sub-oceani...
