- The sulfur content of volcanic gases on Mars (2009, background): “5 Ga by processes following the magma ocean solidification (Elkins-Tanton et al., 2005).”
- Magma oceans in the inner solar system (2012, background): “Third, basal magma oceans may be created by the potential energy of core formation, as discussed in the above paragraph; fourth, they may be created by heating of a radiogenically enriched layer following a magma ocean’s fractional solidification and overturn (Elkins-Tanton et al. 2005b).”
- Linked magma ocean solidification and atmospheric growth for Earth and Mars (2008, methodology): “This step produces cumulates with density that increases with radius, and are therefore gravitationally unstable to overturn (Elkins-Tanton et al., 2003, 2005b).”
- Bulk composition and early differentiation of Mars (2007, background): “In more detailed calculations, Elkins-Tanton et al. [2005] suggest that magmas produced by partial melting of overturned magma ocean cumulates would produce magmas with FeO contents of 11–22 wt.%, in the range observed for the Martian surface.”
- Experimental petrology of the basaltic shergottite Yamato‐980459: Implications for the thermal structure of the Martian mantle (2006, background): “Elkins-Tanton et al. (2005a, 2005b) discuss how such a deep, radioactively enriched layer may influence generation of a magnetic field and initial crustal formation on early Mars.”
- The lunar magma ocean: Reconciling the solidification process with lunar petrology and geochronology (2011, background): “If the lid is not compositionally buoyant, it will founder into the underlying liquid (Elkins-Tanton et al., 2005; Walker and Kiefer, 1985; Walker et al., 1980).”
- Crustal evolution and the temporality of anorthosites (2017, background): “…the likelihood of a hydrous melt composition that would suppress plagioclase crystallization, and the possibility of sequestration of Al in dense majorite and garnet phases, reducing the availability of Al for later plagioclase formation (Elkins-Tanton et al., 2003, 2005; Agee and Draper, 2004).”
- Global investigation of olivine on Mars: Insights into crust and mantle compositions (2013, background): “The enrichment in olivine may reflect the composition of the upper mantle/lower crust proposed to be olivine-rich [Elkins-Tanton et al., 2003, 2005].”
