We investigated the early stages of olivine crystal growth via in situ seeded experiments in a single plagioclase-hosted melt inclusion, using a heating stage microscope. Each experiment was subjected to a cooling ramp of 7800°C/h followed by an isothermal dwell at 19°C, 38°C, 57°C, 77°C, 96°C or 12...
