There was an error in Figure 5 of the original publication [1]. During the preparation of this manuscript, an incorrect image was included, showing UV–vis–NIR spectra instead of the intended IR spectra. This mistake occurred due to a mix-up regarding the image files. The corrected version of Figure 5 is presented below. The authors confirm that the scientific conclusions remain unaffected by this error. This correction has been approved by the Academic Editor, and the original publication has been updated accordingly.
Figure 5.
Representative Infrared spectra of the tsavorites.
There was also an error in the Conclusions Section. After peer review, the authors followed the reviewers’ suggestions and added additional experimental data in Section 4.4: U–Pb Age, which led to slightly different age results. The authors updated the new age results in the Abstract, Table 4, Figure 8, and in the Results and Discussion Sections, but they inadvertently neglected to update them in the Conclusions Section.
The fourth sentence in the second paragraph of the Conclusions Section has been corrected as follows:
Through instrument testing, we obtain a concordant U-Pb age: 626.3 ± 4.6 Ma; this is in agreement with the weighted mean 206Pb/238U age of 625.9 ± 4.7 Ma (MSWD = 0.36).
The authors state that the scientific conclusions are unaffected. This correction was approved by the Academic Editor. The original publication has also been updated.
