(a) Mg# - SiO2, (b) Mg# - Al2O3, (c) Mg# - FeO, (d) Mg# - CaO, (e) Mg# - Cr2O3/Al2O3, (f) MgO/SiO2 - Cr2O3/Al2O3. Low and high pressures are labelled in GPa. Median compositions of garnet bearing (solid symbols) and garnet free (open symbols) cratonic peridotites were calculated from the literature database.
