An olivine-free mantle source of Hawaiian shield basalts

AV Sobolev, AW Hofmann, SV Sobolev, IK Nikogosian - Nature, 2005 - nature.com
More than 50 per cent of the Earth's upper mantle consists of olivine and it is generally
thought that mantle-derived melts are generated in equilibrium with this mineral. Here …

Sampling mantle heterogeneity through oceanic basalts: isotopes and trace elements

AW Hofmann - Treatise on geochemistry, 2003 - ui.adsabs.harvard.edu
