 Primary Magma - John Seach

Primary magma is produced by the direct melting of the earth's mantle.
Magmas with the highest Mg concentrations will be most representative of the original mantle.
A lower Mg level indicates the magma has undergone modification by fractional crystallization, assimilation, or magma mixing.
