Fig. 4: Timescales of lava cooling determined from olivine crystals and the corresponding estimated thicknesses.

From: Surges in volcanic activity on the Moon about two billion years ago

a Histogram showing the distribution of timescales modeled from olivine Fo and Mn. The times are shown in each olivine crystal. The diffusion model parameters and results are provided in Supplementary Data 3. The error bars shown here are calculated from DIPRA and correspond to the analytical uncertainty and a temperature uncertainty of ±30 °C (Supplementary Table 1). Abbreviations: Fo forsterite, Mn Manganese. b The corresponding thickness was calculated using the timescales estimated from olivine Fo. The error bars shown here result from the uncertainty in the timescales (Supplementary Table 1).
