Figure F7. V vs. TiO2. V and Ti are incompatible in an assemblage of olivine, plagioclase, and clinopyroxene; the positive linear variation of V and TiO2 reflects their enrichment in the magma during fractional crystallization. The offset trends (Subunit 4A shifts to higher TiO2) suggest that the units are not derived from a common melting event. The majority of samples from Leg 206 correlate well with the array that includes Subunit 4B. Includes data from Kimura, Silver, Blum, et al. (1997). Also shown are data from Leg 206, the fast-spreading East Pacific Rise deep reference site (Wilson, Teagle, Acton, et al., 2003).
