Figure S.1. Plots of the contents of mobile elements [Na2O and K2O (wt%) and U (ppm)] vs.
an immobile element (Nb) for lavas from O’Higgins Guyot, Alpha Seamount, Robinson Crusoe Island, and Alejandro Selkirk Island. The correlations indicate that even though low- temperature alteration may have affected the mobile elements (Na, K, and U), they can still be used with caution for petrogenetic interpretations (e.g., TAS diagram).

Figure S.4. Primitive mantle-normalized (PM from Sun and McDonough, 1989) patterns showing the trace-element contents of primitive melts from the Robinson Crusoe and Alejandro Selkirk Islands (red and green, respectively). Samples LL250711-7 and MF-6 represent a few samples with relatively low ratios of La/Yb and were modeled in OBS1 to evaluate the proposed model. See Figure 9 in the main text for details.
