Fig. 2

The phase diagrams of ferropericlase. Curves in ae show the ideal (red, dashed) and regular solid solution models (black, solid) at 27, 40, 50, 60, and 80 GPa, respectively. The solid symbols represent the composition of melt and coexisting ferropericlase (solid circles, triangles and diamonds represent data from this study, refs. 12,49 respectively). Uncertainties (95% confidence interval) for temperatures and compositions are shown and listed in the Supplementary Table 1. Temperatures are measured and corrected using the multi-layer inverse modeling method (Supplementary Table 1)49. FeO and MgO melting temperatures (open squares) are taken from refs. 14,19 respectively
