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