Figure F16. Mg# (calculated as Mg2+/Fe2++Mg2+; Fe2+ = 0.85 × Fe3+) vs. depth for Hole 735B. Gabbroic samples are subdivided on the basis of TiO2 (see Fig. F17, p. 63). Filled diamonds = troctolite and olivine gabbro having less than 0.4 wt% TiO2; half-filled diamonds = gabbro, gabbonorite, and disseminated--oxide gabbro having between 0.4 and 1.0 wt% TiO2; open diamonds = Fe-Ti oxide gabbro with more than 1.0 wt% TiO2; half-filled squares = felsic samples or hybrid samples with a significant felsic component. Filled triangle = a sample from a basaltic dike.
