I see! I often see people use it in olivine as ratios with other elements as well. We do good calibration for Mn, no worries! :)

These two are classic!

I thought yesterday was the last day of LPSC 🥲

Many knowns and unknowns, but we believe once we know more about the farside samples, our hypothesis can be tested and refined!
We also thank the reviews from @sarahlambart.bsky.social and @drjbbalta.bsky.social that significantly improved the paper 5/5

We find that depending on mantle comps, melting conditions vary. But under the same assumps, farside mantle melted in a shallower and cooler place, this may suggest melting happened in a thinner lithosphere and contri to crustal dichotomy by a greater extent of decompression melting 4/5

Therefore we build a framework in anticipation of CE6 mission, we reconstruct the mantle melting conditions to generate these farside lavas by using remote sensing data. In particular, we wonder if melting in both sides are different and may contribute to the crustal dichotomy 3/5

South Pole-Aitken basin (SPA) is the window to study farside magmatism, perhaps in particular may answer the puzzle of lunar dichotomy of crustal thickness and composition. The recent Chang’E 6 mission just returned the farside samples from Apollo basin within the SPA 2/5

😂saw you drawing these during the talks, should have pictured a behind the scene series

Thank you!
