An olivine cumulate outcrop on the floor of Jezero crater, Mars
Science, 2022 The geological units on the floor of Jezero crater, Mars, are part of a wider regional stratigraphy of olivine-rich rocks, which extends well beyond the crater.

European Journal of Mineralogy, 2021 Abstract. Olivine, a ferromagnesian orthosilicate, is the most abundant mineral in Earth's upper mantle and is stable down to the olivine–wadsleyite phase transition, which defines the 410 km depth mantle transition zone. Olivine also occurs in crustal environments in metamorphic and hydrothermal rocks and is expected to be the major mineral ...

Sintering Behaviour of Waste Olivine and Olivine/Alumina Blends [PDF]
Materials, 2014 The sintering behaviour of several green compacts made with olivine or olivine/alumina powder blends has been examined. To this goal, powders were attrition milled, uniaxially pressed into specimens and air sintered at temperatures ranging from 1100 to 1300 °C.

Olivine-Carbonate Mineralogy of the Jezero Crater Region [PDF]
Journal of Geophysical Research - Planets, 2019 A well‐preserved, ancient delta deposit, in combination with ample exposures of carbonate outcrops, makes Jezero Crater in Nili Fossae a compelling astrobiological site.

Olivine, and the Origin of Kimberlite [PDF]
Journal of Petrology, 2010 relatively rare rock in the mantle and where present its olivine is persistently Fo-rich. The dunitic source of the nodules in kimberlites lacked minerals such as pyroxene and an aluminous phase, which make up about half of most mantle-derived rocks. It appears that these minerals were removed from the mantle peridotite that was to become the source of

Present-day volcanism on Venus as evidenced from weathering rates of olivine
Science Advances, 2020 Our results imply that lava flows with high emissivity on Venus are less than several years old, and Venus is volcanically active. At least some of Venus’ lava flows are thought to be

Olivine—The Alteration Rock Star
Elements, 2023 Olivine is the main component of the Earth’s upper mantle, on which our tectonic plates rest. As such, olivine has been studied since the dawn of geology and is regarded as the storyteller of the Earth’s interior. Its physical and chemical properties provide insight into its creation in magmas and its voyage through the upper mantle.

Abiotic methane synthesis and serpentinization in olivine-hosted fluid inclusions
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2019 Significance Our findings highlight the ubiquitous occurrence of methane (CH4)-rich fluid inclusions in olivine-bearing rocks that, collectively, may constitute one of the largest reservoirs of abiotic CH4 on Earth.
