The oxidation state of magmas is a key parameter that is notoriously difficult to reconstruct. The most common approach is via magnetite-ilmenite oxybarometry. However, many natural magmas do not contain ilmenite, preventing application of this technique. Here we present a new method that allows fO(2) to be reconstructed based on the partitioning of Fe and Ti between magnetite and silicate melt. The new method, which we call FeTiMM, is applicable to both ilmenite-free and ilmenite-bearing samples, and even to slowly cooled intrusive rocks such as granites. FeTiMM was calibrated on 109 experiments covering a wide range of oxygen fugacities, temperatures, pressures and silicate melts ranging from basaltic to rhyolitic composition, and returned fO(2) values that agree within 0.5 log units with independently constrained fO(2) values in all but five cases. A first test on 19 natural samples of dacitic to rhyolitic compositions was equally successful. FeTiMM thus opens the door for numerous new applications in various disciplines of Earth Sciences, including the fields of volcanology, igneous petrology, experimental geochemistry and ore geology.
