Abstract

Abstract We welcome the comments made by Lustrino [M. Lustrino, Pyroxenites everywhere, Earth Planet. Sci. Lett., this issue.] on the high-pressure experimental melting phase relations of anhydrous garnet pyroxenite reported by Keshav et al. [S. Keshav, G.H. Gudfinnsson, G. Sen, Y. Fei, High-pressure melting experiments on garnet clinopyroxenite and the alkalic-to-tholeiitic transition in ocean-island basalts, Earth Planet. Sci. Lett. 223 (2004) 365–379.]. Such healthy debates, in our view, are needed to promote our understanding on the origin of oceanic-island basalts (OIB).
