Figure 3.9. a) The cores of Site 1203 Unit 3 population A and B crystals overlap, but<br />

population A crystals extend to much lower An. b) Unit 14 and Unit 31 (c) population B crystals<br />

extend up to An87, which is distinct from population A crystals in each Unit. d) There is little<br />

obvious variation of Mg# with An content, between crystal populations, or between Units. e) A<br />

strong correlation of Ti abundance with An content was observed, although correlations appears to<br />

weaken considerably at An > 70. Correlation coefficient for Unit 3 Ti vs. An R2 = 0.79, Unit 14<br />

R2 = 0.80, and Unit 31 R2 = 0.39.<br />
