A new thermodynamic model is presented for calculating phase relations in peridotite, from 0.001 to 60kbar and from 800 degree C to liquidus temperatures, in the system NCFMASOCr. This model system is large enough to simulate phase relations and melting of natural peridotite and basaltic liquids. Ca...
