Quantitative Modelling of the Apparent Decoupling of Mg# and Ni in Kimberlitic Olivine Margins: a Reply to the Comment on Cordier et al. (2015) by A. Moore

Résumé

Moore proposes in his Comment (Moore, 2017) that marginal zones in olivine grains in kimberlites (Fig. 1a) are produced by crystallization from kimberlite melt. He suggests that the chemical zones observed in these marginal zones (inner transition zones and outer margins, illustrated in his fig. 1) result from abrupt changes in distribution coefficients during crystallization. He proposes that the transition zones, characterized by variable Fo at constant and high Ni contents, are produced by crystallization with high KdFe–Mg (= 0·45) and low DNi (= 4) whereas the margins, characterized by a sharp drop in Ni content at nearly constant Fo (Fig. 1b), are produced by crystallization with higher DNi owing to a sudden change in physical conditions of crystallization (P,...
