Forming Olivine Phenocrysts in Basalt: A 3D Characterization of Growth Rates in Laboratory Experiments
Our current knowledge of the genesis, ascent, storage, and eruption of mafic magmas is intimately linked with olivine, its primary crystal cargo. Recent claims that phenocryst-size crystals can grow rapidly and non-concentrically are challenging our perception of what olivine zoning represents (e.g....
