  1. aMineral fractions were adapted from Gannoun et al. (2011)
  2. bWR is the average of whole rock analysis given by Gannoun et al. (2011) and Barrat et al. (2014)
  3. cNiningerite data from Gannoun et al. (2011)
  4. dThe missing component was estimated by subtracting the contributions of the phases from the whole rock (WR) REE content
  5. e% represents the REE in the missing component relative to the WR composition
  6. fTm in WR was not measured in Barrat et al. (2014), and Tm in niningerite was not analyzed by Gannoun et al. (2011). For mass balance purposes, Tm was interpolated using reported Er and Lu values
