  1. Analyses were done by ICP-AES on basalt and peridotite powders. Units in parentheses represent one standard deviation, determined from the ICP-AES standard BHVO-1.
  2. aHydrous basalt composition was analyzed before the addition of Al(OH)3.. Al(OH)3 was then added to complete Al2O3 contents, so Al2O3 and H2O are calculated compositions likely associated with a larger error (since reported contents are calculated from weighted Al(OH)3).
  3. bMgO of basalt is low to allow the addition of MgF2 and MgCl2.
  4. FeO* total Fe as FeO.
  5. N.D. not determined.
