<Claude Herzberg> coauthored a reconstruction of ancient mantle melting from dated <basalt> compositions. Calculating primary magmas links <petrology> with <mantle potential temperature> and the thickness of crust produced by melting.<Thermal history of the Earth and its petrological expression by Claude Herzberg and others>[Abstract and Methods: primary liquids and ambient-mantle temperatures]{ref}
Distinguishing ordinary mantle melts from unusually hot <komatiites> is essential before using the rock record as a global thermometer.
