Key datasets for representative crystals from each crystal group. a EBSD results showing the crystallographic and traverse orientation projected on the lower hemisphere (a, b, c, crystallographic axes, tr = traverse). b X-ray maps of %Fo (numbers in the map; red colour is higher %Fo than blue) and phosphorous abundance (brighter zones are higher concentrations). In the %Fo maps black lines indicate the traverse location, and white lines indicate regions of elevated phosphorous; these crystals were imbedded in indium. The outlined numbers identify specific melt inclusions. Some melt inclusions are open to the surrounding matrix melt (e.g., crystal br 5-1) as evidenced by the host olivine around some melt inclusions that shows patchy zoning. We refer to these as open melt inclusions. c Electron microprobe and calibrated BSE traverses of Fo (light dots), initial conditions used for the diffusion model (black), and models profiles (grey). We note these crystals are tilted, but profile locations were placed perpendicular to the tilt direction to minimize this effect. The times are shown in each crystal
