Melt generation and evolution in the Adda’do rift segment of the Afar rift from trace elements and petrography by Rhiannon Rees, Rhiannon Rees, Emma J. Watts, Emma J. Watts, Thomas M. Gernon, Rex N. Taylor, Carolina Pagli, Derek Keir, Derek Keir

“…However, on a regional scale, depth of melting is between that interpreted for the MER and northern Afar, implicating the stage of rift evolution and consequent degree of lithospheric thinning as a major control. MELTS modelling of the samples indicates that the observed variations in sample compositions in the AMS can be explained predominantly by fractional crystallisation, with negligible crustal contamination in the basaltic samples. …”
