An experimental study of Fe-Mg partitioning between olivine and orthopyroxene at 1173, 1273 and 1423 K and 1.6 GPa

The partitioning of magnesium and iron between coexisting olivines and orthopyroxenes in the system MgO-FeO-SiO2 is investigated experimentally at 1173, 1273, 1423 K and 1.6 GPa over the whole range of magnesium/iron ratios.
