Komatiites, kimberlites, and boninites
Open accessAbstract
When the mantle melts, it produces ultramafic magma if the site of melting is unusually deep, the degree of melting is unusually high, or the source is refractory. For such melting to happen, the source must be unusually hot or very rich in volatiles. Differing conditions produce a spectrum of ultramafic magma types. Komatiites form by high degrees of melting, at great depths, of an essentially anhydrous source. Barberton‐type komatiites are moderately high degree melts from a particularly hot and deep source; Munro‐type komatiites are very high degree melts of a slightly cooler source. Kimberlites result from low‐degree melting, also at great depth, of sources rich in incompatible elements and CO2 + H2O. They become further enriched through interaction with overlying asthenospheric or lithospheric mantle. Boninites form by hydrous melting of metasomatized mantle above a subduction zone. Just like basalts, the different types of ultramafic magma, and the conditions in which they form, are readily identified using major and trace element criteria.

Voluminous TTG generation in Archean plateau environments is perhaps unexpected based on comparison with differentiated modern-day examples, which are nominally anhydrous at depth.
“Voluminous TTG generation in Archean plateau environments is perhaps unexpected based on comparison with differentiated modern-day examples (e.g.Arndt, 2003), which are nominally anhydrous at depth”
From Secular change and the onset of plate tectonics on Earth (2020) · cites this paper as Arndt, 2003
The Introduction (§1, paragraph 2; page unavailable) says that modern ocean-island tholeiites form from a near-anhydrous mantle source, supporting the dryness comparison. It does not identify differentiated modern plateaus as the examples or discuss whether voluminous TTG generation in Archean plateaus would be unexpected. (LLM, conf=0.82)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
