Table 1 Bulk rock major (wt%) and minor (ppm) element compositions; average phase proportions (%); geothermal and oxygen fugacity estimates of the Mt. Leura (LE) peridotite xenoliths. Average temperature (T) and oxygen fugacity (ΔlogfO2) for LE harzburgites are calculated at 2 GPa. Estimated temperatures are from the two-pyroxene geothermometer of Brey and Köhler36, and olivine-spinel geothermometers of Ballhaus et al.37 and Jianping et al.38. ΔlogfO2 (FMQ) is calculated from the method of Wood39 using Brey and Köhler36 temperature and it is reported as difference (Δ) with respect to Fayalite-Magnetite-Quartz (FMQ) buffer40. Uncertainties are reported.
