Characterization of plagioclase-hosted melt inclusions in A91-1R (Blanco Transform Fault)

Abstract: We present a database characterizing the composition and volatile contents of plagioclase-hosted melt inclusions from a unique sample from the Blanco Transform Fault (A91-1R). The melt inclusions were homogenized on a 1-atm vertical furnace at two temperatures from 30 min to 4 days to gain a better understanding of the post entrapment processes induced by the homogenization experiments. The composition and volatile contents of the melt inclusions indicate their mantle origins.
