Microstructural evolution of silicate immiscible liquids in solidifying ferrobasalts
Evidence of silicate liquid immiscibility in ferrobasalts is provided by co-existing Fe- and Si-rich melt inclusions and Fe-rich droplets dispersed in the Si-rich glassy mesostasis of rapidly cooled rocks. Crucially, the different physical properties of these unmixed liquids mean that they may migra...
