<Jun Korenaga> coauthored a comparison of the <Earth>'s thermal evolution with melting conditions inferred from ancient <basalts>. Reconstructing primary magmas provides estimates of <mantle potential temperature> that can be compared with heat-budget and <mantle convection> models.<Thermal history of the Earth and its petrological expression by Claude Herzberg and others>[Abstract and Methods: petrological temperatures and thermal evolution]{ref}
The comparison separates evidence for hotter ambient mantle from exceptionally hot plume-derived melts.
