Abstract
The explanation of why partial fusion of mantle peridotite sometimes yields basalts, sometimes kimberlites and sometimes carbonatites is given by the phase relationships in the system CaO–MgO–SiO_2–CO_2. The key is the intersection of a sub-solidus carbonation reaction with the solidus, which introduces carbonates as primary minerals alongside silicates on the surface of the liquidus.
