Statement
Details of the methodology are present here: https://doi.org/10.1007/s00126-020-01010-7. In summary: Electron probe micro analyses (EPMA) were undertaken using a JEOL JXA 8200 instrument, operated with a 10 nA, 15 kV beam defocussed to a 5-?m spot. Trace elements were analysed using LA-ICP-MS, with a 100 ?m spot, coupled to an Agilent 7500c ICP-MS operating in reaction mode, with a flow rate of 2.5 ml min?1 H2. Ablation at Camborne School of Mines utilised a New Wave Research 213 nm laser coupled to an Agilent 7700 ICP-MS. Median Ca concentrations were used as the internal standard composition and NIST SRM 610 was used for calibration. Infrared spectra were collected for polished surfaces using a ThermoNicolet i10 FTIR spectrometer fitted with a Ge-tipped attenuated total reflectance head, housed at the University of Bristol.
