| Supersaturation of the volatile phase may occur via rapid crystallization of anhydrous phases in the melt or via rapid decompression of the magma chamber, which increases the liquidus and solidus of a particular melt, and decreases the maximum volatile solubility. The tensile strengths of groups of irons were compared to the difference between the actual sulfur in the iron and various equilibrium values at each liquidus point. The compositions of coexisting magnetite and ilmenite can be used to estimate liquidus temperatures and oxygen fugacity (Andersen and Lindsley, 1988) of magmas, although subsolidus exsolution produces intergrowths that complicate application of the geothermometer/oxygen barometer in slowly cooled, coarse-grained rocks. |
