Description:   A model was developed to relate the major/trace element ratio of a magma melt to the ratio and solid phase proportions of its source and the degree to which it melts.  Major/trace element patterns were predicted for liquids derived from plagioclase, spinel and garnet pyrolite sources and correlations were made to observed trends in elemental pairs.
