The uncertainties shown represent the long-term reproducibility (2SD) based on repeat analyses of the terrestrial standard during the measurement campaign.
Px = pyroxene, Plag = plagioclase, PC = previously experienced ion chromatography
Ni isotopic composition of the Egg 2 bulk sample is from Render et al. (2018) and is shown in italics. Given the proportions of the mineral phases in Egg 2, this bulk sample can be considered a mixture of 73 wt.% Ni from Egg 2 high-Fe Px, 16 wt.% Ni from Egg 2 Plag, and 11 wt.% Ni from Egg 2 high-Mg Px.
