Approximately 50 g of pyrex or quartz used to make Carius tubes were cleaned in boiling Aqua Regia and then crushed and powdered using alumina grinding devices. The powders were spiked and digested using Carius tubes (3 days, 270°C) or teflon vials (3 days, 150°C). Because of the volatility of osmium tetraoxide during high-temperature oxidation, we do not report Os concentrations or Os isotopic compositions for HF-HNO3 experiments. Ru concentrations may also be lower in these experiments due to partial oxidation of Ru+(VIII) to ruthenium tetraoxide (boiling point = 40°C). Samples are blank corrected to the total procedural blanks run with the experiments (For HF-HNO3 experiments= 19 pg Ir, 21 pg Ru, 1 pg Pt, 60 pg Pd, 8 pg Re; for Carius Tubes experiments= 0.2 ± 0.2 pg Os, 1.8 ± 1.1 pg Ir, 1.1 ± 1.2 pg Ru, 9.4 ± 5.2 pg Pt, 5.9 ± 0.63 pg Pd, 0.91 ± 0.19 pg Re, 187Os/188Os = 0.165 ± 0.011, n = 4 - note, these TPB differ from the TPB cohort run with lunar mare basalt samples). NA = not analysed.
