a Electron microprobe Fo (mol%) traverses for Group 1 olivine from core to rim. b A reverse profile for Group 2 olivine. c Electron microprobe Mg# [defined as 100 × Mg/(Mg + Fe), mole fraction] traverses for clinopyroxene from core to rim. EMPA traverses are marked in Supplementary Figs. 16, and data are provided in Supplementary Data 12. Abbreviations: Fo forsterite.
