Notes: * = analyses run through Site 1138 samples. SD = standard deviation. † = analyses run after Site 1138 samples. Means (in weight percent) and standard deviations of repeated analyses of the BHVO-1 reference standard are reported as two sets because of recalibration after mechanical repairs during the leg. ** = samples from Sites 1141 and 1142 were analyzed postcruise at The University of Massachusetts. Kilauea 1919-1 is a sample collected from the same flow as BHVO-1 and is used as a standard at The University of Massachusetts. The reported values are the average and standard deviation of three replicate measurements.
