A major open question, however, is thelevel of chemical stratification inherited from an early magma-ocean (MO) solidification.Here we show that the MO crystallized homogeneously in the deep mantle, but with che-mical fractionation at depths around 1000 km and in the upper mantle. Our arguments arebased on accurate measurements of the viscosity of melts with forsterite, enstatiteand diopside compositions up to ~30 GPa and more than 3000 K at synchrotron X-rayfacilities. Fractional solidification would induce the formation of a bridgmanite-enriched layerat ~1000 km depth. This layer may have resisted to mantle mixing by convection and causethe reported viscosity peak and anomalous dynamic impedance. On the other hand, fractionalsolidification in the upper mantle would have favored the formation of thefirst crust. %G English %2 https://hal.uca.fr/hal-02462106/document %2 https://hal.uca.fr/hal-02462106/file/s41467-019-14071-8.pdf %L hal-02462106 %U https://hal.uca.fr/hal-02462106 %~ UNIV-ST-ETIENNE %~ IRD %~ INSU %~ PRES_CLERMONT %~ CNRS %~ LMV %~ GIP-BE %~ ACL-SF %~ UNIV-PARIS-SACLAY %~ SYNCHROTRON-SOLEIL %~ OPGC %~ CAP20-25 %~ UDL %~ ANR %~ GS-PHYSIQUE %~ INSTITUT-SCIENCES-LUMIERE %~ TEST3-HALCNRS
