| Locality type: | Seamount |
| Classification |
|---|
|
| Species: | Forsterite |
| Formula: | Mg2SiO4 |
| Comments: | The olivine composition in the studied IAB-type lava samples is in the range Fo83.23-88.47 (Trua et al., 2010). Olivine is more forsteritic (Fo91–75) in the basalts than in the basaltic andesite (Fo78–74) (Trua et al. 2014). |
