The equilibrium distribution of magnesium and ferrous iron between olivine and aluminate spinel, and between olivine and ferrite spinel, was determined at 13fi)'C in order to understand the relationship between these phases in mafic and ultramafic rocks. A series of olivines (MgzSiO+-Fe2SiOa) were equilibrated with aluminate spinels (MgAl2O4-FeAl2Oa) in the presence of metallic iron. The distribution coefficient KBkr : (X Rl./XFl'.) ' (&t r-lxilt) is close to one at 1300'C: it varies between 0.94 and 1.23, and increases with Xftlr. Olivines were equilibrated with ferrite spinels (MgFezOr) (Mf) - FerO+ (Mt)) as two-phase assemblages, or with pyroxene or liquid as three-phase assemblages in the system MgGSiOTFeO-Fe2O3. Magnesium is preferentially partitioned into olivine relative to ferrite spinel, and the distribution coefficient Ktr-{' : (8}"/&'.,.) 6$"*/X{["; varies between 6.7 and 9.3 at 13fi)"C. The systematic variation of the distribution coefficient with spinel composition was used to calculate the activity--composition relations of both the aluminate and the ferrite solid solutions. It was assumed that the olivine solid solution is ideal, and that the spinel solid solutions are regular and single-sited, with respect to magnesium and ferrous iron, at 1300"C. The experimental results show that the aluminates are nearly ideal, and can be well described by a regular, symmetric solution model with an interaction parameter 17"1 of -3.1+0.6 kJ/mole, and equilibrium constant K"l-"1 = 0.97+0.08 at 13fi)"C. The ferrite solid solution appears to fit an asymmetric model with lYrvrr = z-r2kllmole and W1a1 = 7-+4 kJ/mole, and equilibrium constant .Kol-{t - 7-+l at 1300'C. If the spinel solution properties are recalculated assuming non-ideal olivines with l7"r = 4.2 kllmole, neither activity-composition relations nor the equilibrium constants are changed significantly. These new thermodynamic data may be applied to: (l) calibration of the olivine-spinel geothermometer, (2) calibration of the olivine-orthopyroxene-spinel and olivine-silica-spinel oxygen geobarometers, and (3) calculation ofother reactions in mantle assemblages.
