(color online) Comparisons of (a) and (b) between carbonates and other major candidate minerals of subducted basalt at high pressure. The values from the PREM model were also plotted for comparison. Circle: CaCO (this study); blue square: magnesite;[39] red pentacle: Siderite;[40] olivine: Mg–Pv;[45] red: Ca–Pv;[46] purple: Fe-NAL phase;[44] royal: Mg–PPv;[47] orange: CF phase;[48] black: PREM.[49]
