Trace element abundances in parent melt of NWA 7325 estimated from plagioclase trace element compositions.

MgO (%) K (ppm) Ti (ppm) Sr (ppm) Ba (ppm)
Plagioclase 0.23 26 12 320 0.22
D(plagioclase/melt)*1 0.037 0.16 0.036 0.92 0.084
Parent melt 6.3 170 320 350 2.6
Abundance/CI*2 0.30 0.73 45 1.1
*1

Values for Mg, K, Sr and Ba are from Dohmen and Blundy (2014) assuming Na2O and CaO wt% of parent melt to be the same as those of bulk 7325 (Barrat et al., 2015). Value for Ti is from Bindemann et al. (1998), assuming T=1500 K and plagioclase composition (XAn=0.9).

*2

CI chondrite abundance is from Anders and Grevesse (1989).
