Calculations are based on average mineral composition of each grain. Values from the Run14EXJB-T-G15 gabbro and olivine (ol)-gabbronorite are not included in gabbro and gabbronorite results. Methods and uncertainties: France et al. (2010b) single-clinopyroxene (cpx) thermometer = ±40°C, Brey and Kohler (1990) 2-pyroxene thermometer = ±15°C, Andersen et al. (1993) QUILF 2-pyroxene thermometer and QUILF 2-oxide oxythermobarometer = ±0.1 log units, Holland and Blundy (1994) amphibole (amph)-plagioclase (pl) thermometer = ±40°C, Sauerzapf et al. (2008) 2-oxide oxythermobarometer = ±70°C and ±0.4 log units. France et al. (2010a) clinopyroxene-plagioclase oxybarometer used temperatures estimated with * = single-cpx, † = 2-pyroxene, and ‡ = QUILF 2-pyroxene. The complete data set is available in RESULTS in “Supplementary material.” N = number of grains, T = temperature, err = error, ΔNNO = oxygen fugacity relative to nickel-nickel-oxide buffer, ΔFMQ = oxygen fugacity relative to fayalite-magnetite-quartz buffer, ΔFMQ err = 2σ error according to France et al. (2010a).
