Messengers from the deep: Fossil wadsleyite-chromite microstructures from the Mantle Transition Zone

Investigations of the Mantle Transition Zone (MTZ; 410–660 km deep) by deformation experiments and geophysical methods suggest that the MTZ has distinct rheological properties, but their exact cause is still unclear due to the lack of natural samples. Here we present the first direct evidence for cr...
