dc.description
The composition of basaltic melts in equilibrium with the mantle can be determined for several Martian meteorites and in-situ rover analyses. We use the melting model MAGMARS to reproduce these primary melts and estimate the bulk composition and temperature of the mantle regions from which they originated. We find that most mantle sources are depleted in CaO and Al2O3 relative to models of the bulk silicate Mars and likely represent melting residues or magma ocean cumulates. The concentrations of Na2O, K2O, P2O5, and TiO2 are variable and often less depleted, pointing to the re-fertilization of the sources by fluids and low-degree melts, or the incorporation of residual trapped melts during the crystallization of the magma ocean. The mantle potential temperatures of the sources are 1400–1500°C, regardless of the time at which they melted and within the range of the most recent predictions from thermochemical evolution models.

Basalts that sampled discrete mantle regions throughout Mars's history provide information about the mantle composition and temperature
dc.subject
The mantle potential temperature of primitive basalts appears constant (1400–1500ºC), yet is likely not representative of the average mantle
dc.subject
Incompatible element concentrations in the mantle vary due to magma ocean crystallization, partial melting, and metasomatism
