Fig. 3: Bulk compositions of individual garnet bearing (solid symbols) and garnet free (open symbols) xenoliths from Archaean cratons compared to the modelled compositions of residues of melting of fertile peridotite KR4003.

Fig. 3

(a) Mg# - SiO2, (b) Mg# - Al2O3, (c) Mg# - FeO, (d) Mg# - CaO, (e) Mg# - Cr2O3/Al2O3, (f) MgO/SiO2- Cr2O3/Al2O3. Pressure is shown in 1GPa increments from 1 to 6GPa (solid lines, low and high pressures are labelled) and degree of melting is marked in 10% increments (dotted lines). Note log scale in parts e and f, the insets show the same data on a linear scale.
