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