Extended Data Figure 3: Results obtained by the inversion of zircon populations.

From: Zircons reveal magma fluxes in the Earth’s crust

Extended Data Figure 3

a, Torres del Paine granites; b, The Coroccohuayco porphyry; c, Oruanui eruption. The range of estimated volume and magma fluxes are highlighted by the shaded areas and plotted in Fig. 4 for comparison with similar magmatic and volcanic systems. The red lines provide independent estimates of magma flux and final volume of the magmatic bodies. Estimates for the average magma flux into the system do not exist for the Oruanui eruption and therefore the vertical lines of the red box were not traced. Data are from refs 9 and 10 for Torres del Paine, ref. 25 for Coroccohuayco and ref. 28 for Oruanui. The insets in the figure show the populations of zircon crystallization times on which the statistical analysis has been performed.
