Partial melting of lower crust at 10–15 kbar: constraints on adakite and TTG formation (2013, background): “…geochemical analysis consistently demonstrate that adakite/TTG from MORB, shoshonite, and Archean greenstones were formed at pressures of [15 kbar (Rapp et al. 1991, 1999, 2003; Sen and Dunn 1994; Rapp 1995; Rapp and Watson 1995; Xiong et al. 2005, 2009; Clemens et al. 2006; Xiong 2006; Nair and…”
The partitioning of trace elements between ilmenite, ulvospinel, armalcolite and silicate melts with implications for the early differentiation of the moon (2006, background): “Especially amphibolites, which commonly contain ilmenite as accessory phases, have been identified as a possible source in the generation of the continental crust (Rapp and Watson, 1995; Foley et al., 2002; Rapp et al., 2003) in a subduction zone environment.”
