Provided in Appendix 1.

Calculated by equation (6).

Average value reported by Gailhanou et al. (2007).

§

From Liu & Lin (2005).

||

Based on values reported by Ransom & Helgeson (1994).

Based on Jove-Colon (2015) and Vieillard et al. (2011).

**

Calculated by equation (6) and using linear interpolation relationship to derive Xhs for dry densities of MX80 and FEBEX between the given values.
