Extended Data Fig. 5: Raman spectra for inclusion 2c at different areas (a-d).
From: Hydrous peridotitic fragments of Earth’s mantle 660 km discontinuity sampled by a diamond

Coesite (cs) peaks (RRUFF ID: X05009467) have been observed in almost all spectra; the peaks in area (a) and (c) at ~800 and 858 cm−1 are assigned to ringwoodite (rw) or partially retrogressed olivine (ol), possibly accompanied by enstatite (En) in (a). Diagnostic Raman peaks have been observed in (b) at ~787, 735, 626, 375 cm−1, which could be assigned to phase D (D). The accompanied vibration at ~2849 cm−1 in (b) is consistent with the OH stretching of phase D23,68,69. A few peaks at ~781 and 735 cm−1 seem recurring in (d). Spectra were collected at GIA. Red circle, triangle, orange stars: undefined peaks. The orange stars with the peak around 831 cm−1 could be overlapped with other hydrous phase such as super hydrous phase B70,71.
