Petrology on Mars (2015, background): “Phase equilibria experiments indicate that these rock compositions represent multiply saturated magmas with olivine + orthopyroxene ± spinel at 1.0–1.2 GPa, corresponding to depths of 85–100 km (Musselwhite et al. 2006; Monders et al. 2007; Filiberto et al. 2010).”
Ventilation of CO2 from a reduced mantle and consequences for the early Martian greenhouse (2008, methodology): “On the other hand, if we adopt the temperature and pressure for generation of Y980459 under anhydrous conditions (1540 °C, 1.2 GPa; Musselwhite et al., 2006) as characteristic of post-4.”
Constraints on the depths and temperatures of basaltic magma generation on Earth and other terrestrial planets using new thermobarometers for mafic magmas (2009, background): “5C; no fractionation correction applied), within error of multiple saturation experiments, which give T-Ps of 1540 °C and 1.2 GPa (Musselwhite et al., 2006).”
The sulfur content of volcanic gases on Mars (2009, background): “Under the low fO2 conditions relevant to early planetary processes, CSsilicate essentially depends on the FeO content of the molten silicate (O'Neill and Mavrogenes, 2002).”
