Partial Melting Experiments on an Mg # 80 Martian Mantle and Their Implications for Basalt Genesis

Dreibus and Wänke (1985) calculated a bulk composition for the interior of Mars (DW model) based on eight Martian meteorites. Since then, experiments on the Martian interior have used this model, or similar models, to understand processes that may influence basalt genesis within the Martian mantle....
