“…We suggest the morphological evolution of the colloform bands is a consequence of increasing crystal mush thickness with progressive differentiation. with examples ranging from CO 2 , water and hydrocarbon migration within sediments (Tissot & Welte, 1984;MacMinn et al, 2010;Minescu et al, 2010) to extraction of partial melt from the mantle (McKenzie, 1984;Daines & Kohlstedt, 1994;Lundstrom et al, 1995;Kelemen et al, 1997;Dijkstra et al, 2003;Katz et al, 2006). When the infiltrating fluid is out of thermal or compositional equilibrium with the solid matrix (Jupp & Woods, 2003), it may react with its surroundings, potentially resulting in local solid dissolution and precipitation of new phases (Ortoleva et al, 1987a;1987b;Chadam and Ortoleva, 1990;Aharonov et al, 1997;Maisse & Pousin, 1997;Kang et al, 2003).…”
