Extended Data Figure 3. Total MgO dissolved in the core after the giant impact.

Extended Data Figure 3

A companion to Fig. 2, it is the sum of the MgO component dissolved in the core prior to the impact (0.8 wt.%) and that brought by the HIC. The 10% Mars-size impact19 and 2.5% “fast-spinning” impact20 are highlighted by circles, and provide 2.9 wt.% and 2 wt.% MgO to the core, respectively.
