Abstract

presents the calcium isotope compositions of the whole-rock, clinopyroxene, and plagioclase in the two intrusions; Table 3 lists the Δ44/40CaPl-cpx values of samples in the two intrusions; Table 4 is Ranges of CaO Content Ratios between Plagioclase and Clinopyroxene from the Xiaohaizi and Panzhihua Intrusions. Table 5 is the estimated Plagioclase-Melt Ca Fractionation Factors at 1273K; Table 6 is the estimated calcium isotopic composition of residual melts during the solidification of the lunar magma ocean;Table S1 shows the trace element data of clinopyroxene and plagioclase in the two intrusions; and Tables S2 to S5 respectively present the major element compositions of clinopyroxene and plagioclase in the Panzhihua and Xiaohaizi intrusions.
