Notes: Element compositions were determined by inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectroscopy. LOI = loss on ignition. Mg# = 100 x Mg2+/(Mg2++Fe2+). Calculated CIPW-normative compositions: or = norm orthoclase, ab = norm albite, di = norm diopside, hy = norm hyperthene, ol = norm olivine, mt = norm magnetite, il = norm ilmenite, ap = norm apatite.
