Extended Data Fig. 5: Select major and trace element diffusion length scales for Kilbourne Hole xenolith magmatic entrainment timescales.

From: Active crustal differentiation beneath the Rio Grande Rift

Extended Data Fig. 5

Characteristic length scales of diffusion were calculated for key mineral chemistry used in xenolith thermobarometry: Ca-Na exchange in plagioclase70 a, Ti-in-quartz71 b, Garnet major elements at graphite-oxygen fO272 c, and Zr-in-rutile73 (d). Published magmatic heating timescales for KBH xenoliths have been estimated from Ca-in-olivine profiles36 and are shown as orange highlighted areas.
