From: Europium in plagioclase-hosted melt inclusions reveals mantle melting modulates oxygen fugacity

Fig. 5

Temperatures inverted from plagioclase-glass REE distributions (Eqs. 1619) are plotted against the log of the oxygen fugacity log(fO2) recovered from Eqs. 719 in (a), molar Fe3+/(Fe2++ Fe3+) in glass calculated using the model of Kress and Carmichael47 in (b), plagioclase An# (100 × Ca/(Ca + Na + K), in moles) in (c), and deviation from the fayalite-magnetite-quartz buffer (Δ FMQ) at 0.4 GPa34 in (d). Circles in the background of (c) are plagioclase-saturated experiments with oceanic basalt and basaltic andesite liquids downloaded from the LEPR database77. Error bars for the temperatures are estimated from the uncertainty in the slope in the temperature inversions (Supplementary Figs. S5-S7); error bars for fO2s are estimated 1σ uncertainties recovered from Monte Carlo simulations (see Methods and Supplementary Figs. S10S12 for details).
