Abstract

1. Published Eq. (2) contains a typo. The correct version of Eq. (2) should be: (Formula presented.) (2) where T is temperature in Kelvin and CFe2O3spl is wt.% of Fe2O3 in spinel. Fits are a = 0.87 ± 0.07, b = −4.6 ± 0.4, and c = 0.24 ± 0.02. We used the correct version of the equation in all our calculations, models, and figures; our results, discussion, and conclusions remain unchanged. 2. We did not provide the duration of the piston cylinder experiments. Each experiment had a run duration of 24 h after reaching the run temperature. 3. In the abstract, the line beginning, “If we allow DFe2O3opx/melt and DFe2O3opx/melt to also vary with temperature...” should instead be, “If we allow DFe2O3opx/melt and DFe2O3cpx/melt to also vary with temperature...” 4. The green and orange lines in Fig. 9 are mineral/melt partition coefficients estimated by Mallmann and O’Neill (2009) for DFe2O3cpx/melt and DFe2O3opx/melt, respectively.
