Fate of Pyroxenite-derived Melts in the Peridotitic Mantle: Thermodynamic and Experimental Constraints (2012, background): “In terms of major-element composition this sample is intermediate between fertile mantle MM3 of Baker & Stolper (1994) and depleted mantle DMM1 of Wasylenki et al. (2003).”
The bulk composition of Mars (2013, methodology): “Data are from experimental studies by Falloon and Green (1988), Faloon et al. (1988), Takahashi and Kushiro (1983), Hertzberg and Zhang (1996), Walter (1998), Wasylenki et al. (2003), and Agee and Draper (2004).”
The composition of Mars (2019, background): “The MnO concentration in the BSM (Wänke and Dreibus, 1994; Taylor, 2013) is established foremost from the nearly constant FeO/MnO ratio in Martian meteorites (shergottite average 39.4 ± 0.07) and the Martian mantle’s FeO content, producing a BSM having 0.37 ± 0.07 wt% MnO.”
