A cartoon showing a possible LMO scenario (depth of melting not specified) (after PSRD graphic, G. J. Taylor). The model proceeds through crystallization of Mg-rich minerals (Ol+Px) which sink, then of low-density Ca-rich minerals (feldspar) which float, and finally of KREEP and Fe-Ti rich (ilmenite) layers. Note that this diagram is not to scale.
