Fugacity Haiku Oxygen fugacity, like temperature, intensive parameter. Fugacity bears no mem’ry, no sign of a past, uh only what it sees last. • fO2 of a magma can be modified by: • Fractional crystallization • Degassing • Interaction with crust or fluids • fO2 of mantle xenoliths could have been modified by: • Secondary metasomatic processes
