The strong partitioning of ferric iron relative to ferrous iron into the melt during partial melting of spinel or garnet peridotite mantle results in transport of oxygen to the surface. The effect is enhanced in a graphite-bearing mantle. Carbon in the mantle is transported to the surface as dissolved carbonate regardless of its presence as graphite or carbonate minerals. The oxidation state of SNC's is shown to be consistent with a graphitebearing mantle.
