Abstract


The integration of the differential equation of the second law of Fick applied to the diffusion of chemical elements in a semi-infinite solid made it easier to estimate the time of stay of olivine megacrysts horted into alkaline lava. The results of this research show the existence of two groups of olivine. The first remained in contact with the magmatic liquid during 30 to 34 days, while the second remained so during only 4 to 7 days only. This distinction is correlative to that based on the qualitative observation.
