“…Therefore, we used elastic constants of minerals with compositions that were comparable to previously published mineral chemistry for the Breaksea Orthogneiss and the Malaspina Pluton Clarke et al, 2013;Chapman et al, 2015). Consequently, we used single-crystal stiffnesses of Bhagat et al (1992) for omphacite (density =3.33 g/cm 3 ), Chai et al (1997) for garnet ( =3.81 g/cm 3 ), Collins and Brown (1998) for diopside ( =3.33 g/cm 3 ), Jackson et al (2007) for enstatite ( =3.2 g/cm 3 ), Brown et al (2006) for plagioclase ( =2.68 g/cm 3 ), Aleksandrov and Ryzhova (1962) for K-feldspar, Lakshtanov et al (2007) for quartz, Weidner and Ito (1985) for ilmenite , Wachtman Jr et al (1962) for rutile, and Sha et al (1994) for apatite. Elastic stiffness of pargasite was approximated with those of hornblende (Aleksandrov and Ryzhova, 1961).…”
