Abstract
Saal et al. reply - Scaillet and Pichavant1 raise an important point about the role that fO2 plays in determining C–H–O fluid speciation and in estimating the degree of vapour saturation in oceanic basalts. However, this does not seem to be relevant to the volatile geochemistry of mid-ocean-ridge basalt (MORB) magmas in general and of Siqueiros MORB in particular.
