Crystallization of Evaporating Forsterite-Rich Melts: Texture and Magnesium and Silicon Isotopic Compositions of the Evaporation Residues
Abstract
We present first results on texture and isotopic compositions of residues produced by cooling Fo-rich materials in vacuum. The results show that it is evaporation that controls the textures and Mg- and Si-isotopic compositions of crystallized phases.
