La courbe de cristallisation fractionnée (ligne en tirets FC), partant du liquide 3, est aussi obtenue par l'équation de Hart et Davis [1978]. [...] Le pourcentage d'olivine cristallisant est indiqué sur les courbes. La courbe d'accumulation d'olivine est tracée à partir du liquide 1; chaque petite barre transversale représente l'ajout de 10 % d'olivine ayant une composition en équilibre avec le liquide initial. 1, record 1, French, - courbe%20de%20cristallisation%20fractionn%C3%A9e
