Extended Data Figure 5: The composition of experimental phases from this study projected into two quaternary plots.

From: Slab melting as a barrier to deep carbon subduction

Extended Data Figure 5

a, b, [Ca]-[Mg+Fe2+]-[Si+Ti]-[Na+K] (a) and [Mg+Fe2+]-[Ca]-[Al+Fe3+]-[Na+K] (b). In both diagrams the grey fields are the compositional data projected onto the basal ternary. The red field is the range of natural MORB compositions projected onto the basal ternary. The yellow star plotted in the four-component system and projected onto the basal ternary is ATCM1 (our bulk composition) while the black stars are bulk compositions from previous studies25,26,27.
