Extended Data Table 6 Estimated trace element compositions of the Chang’e-5 basalts

From: Non-KREEP origin for Chang’e-5 basalts in the Procellarum KREEP Terrane

  1. *Average value of the all measured pyroxenes of the Chang’e-5 clasts (Supplementary Table 2).
  2. †Estimation based on the partition coefficients (Supplementary Table 3).
  3. ‡The clinopyroxene core with the highest MgO content (sample 406-004, 005; Supplementary Fig. 3) is chosen to calculate the parental melt. This analysed pyroxene in sample 406-004, 005 has the lowest trace element concentrations (Extended Data Fig. 4, Supplementary Table 2). We use the average data of the five measurements (406-004, 005py-1; 406-004, 005py-2; 406-004, 005py-3; 406-004, 005py-4; and 406-004, 005py-5).
  4. §Data digitized from ref. 22. The 86 PCS + 2% refers to the addition of 2% TIRL from the 86 PCS level.
