Extended Data Fig. 3: Phase and plagioclase compositional maps for representative samples of the main igneous lithologies in the Paleoarchean Barberton TTG plutons.

From: Earth’s earliest granitoids are crystal-rich magma reservoirs tapped by silicic eruptions

Extended Data Fig. 3

Phase maps (on the left-hand side) and plagioclase compositional maps color-coded for mol.% anorthite (An) (on the right-hand side) result from the analysis of SEM-EDS spectral images (see Methods). For more details about the texture of the trondhjemites, see Fig. 1b.
