Forster 2 1 SE Asia Research Group, Department of Earth Sciences, Royal Holloway University of London, Egham TW20 0EX, UK 2 Research School of Earth Sciences, The Australian National University, Canberra, ACT 0200, Australia SUPPLEMENTARY MATERIAL Methods Tables DR1 DR6 Figures DR1 DR9 METHODS GEOCHEMICAL ANALYSIS Whole-rock X-Ray fluorescence analyses and electron microprobe mineral chemical analyses are presented in Tables DR1 and DR4, respectively. Major element mineral chemistry was determined by analysis of polished thin section using a JEOL JXA-8100 Superprobe paired with an Oxford Instruments INCA energy-dispersive microanalytical system (EDS) at Birkbeck College, University of London. Analyses were performed using an accelerating voltage of 15 kv, a beam current of 10 na, and a beam diametre of 1 μm. Calibration was against standards of natural silicates, oxides, and Specpure metals, and a ZAF correction procedure was applied. Whole-rock major element chemistry was measured on fused disks using a PANalytical Axios sequential wavelength-dispersive (WDS) X-ray fluorescence spectrometer (XRF) fitted with a 4 kw Rh-anode X-ray tube at Royal Holloway University of London. PHASE EQUILIBRIA MODELLING Pseudosections were calculated using the thermodynamic calculation programme THERMOCALC (version 3.33; Powell and Holland, 1988) and the ds55s internally-

2 consistent thermodynamic dataset (Holland and Powell, 1998), both available from Modelling was performed in the 10 component Na 2 O CaO K 2 O FeO MgO Al 2 O 3 SiO 2 H 2 O TiO 2 Fe 2 O 3 (NCKFMASHTO) chemical system considering the activity-composition models of phases that are listed and referenced in Table DR5. Effective bulk compositions input to THERMOCALC (Table DR6) are based on a H 2 O-absent and all-fe-as-fe 3+ whole-rock XRF analysis of sample KP (Table DR1) to which H 2 O has been added and Fe 2+ substituted accordingly, as inferred from the T M H2O and T M O modelling (Figs. DR2 and DR3, respectively), in which an M H2O value of 1 is defined as equivalent to adding 1 wt% (~3.7 mol%) H 2 O to the dry bulk composition. For this study, an M O value of 1 is defined as equivalent to an XFe 3+ value of ⅔, in order that XFe 3+ was varied over the range of the redox reaction 3FeO = Fe 2 O 3 + Fe. T M H2O and T M O pseudosections were necessarily constructed using an iterative procedure because the mol% H 2 O or XFe 3+ value indicated by the respective pseudosection was required for the calculation of the other pseudosection in the pair. T M H2O and T M O pseudosections were calculated at a pressure of 7.5 kbar based on preliminary P T pseudosection modelling at estimated mol% H 2 O and O content. M H2O and M O values were chosen that resulted in the rock s observed (slightly) post-peak mineral assemblage (Grt + Crd + Sill + Sp + Qtz + Pl + Ilm + Liq) in the vicinity of Sa-bearing fields being predicted as stable by the respective pseudosection. Once determined, these mol% H 2 O and O values were used to calculate the effective bulk composition (Table DR6) input for the calculation of the P T pseudosection (Fig. 2a). Absolute uncertainties on the location of THERMOCALC-calculated reaction lines are typically quoted at ± 1 kbar and ± 50 C. U Pb ZIRCON GEOCHRONOLOGY Zircon crystals were separated from μm diameter crushed rock fractions using standard heavy-liquid, magnetic, and hand-picking separation techniques. The zircons were then mounted in epoxy resin, ground to half-thickness, and coated with gold. Analyses were performed by sensitive high-resolution ion microprobes SHRIMP-II and SHRIMP-RG (reverse geometry) over several analytical sessions at the Research School of Earth Sciences at The Australian National University. Temora-II zircon standards were used for calibration, and the data were reduced using the SQUID-2 Excel macro (Ludwig, 2009) and plotted using Isoplot-3 (Ludwig, 2003) see Supplementary Table DR2. Common Pb was corrected for Phanerozoic zircon by assuming 206 Pb/ 238 U 208 Pb/ 232 Th age concordance, and was corrected

3 for Proterozoic and Archaean zircon using measured 204 Pb/ 206 Pb ratios. Ages are given at 95% confidence. 40 Ar/ 39 Ar BIOTITE GEOCHRONOLOGY Ar Ar dating of 2.7 mg biotite separated from sample KP was performed by a furnace step-heating method at The Australian National University argon laboratory. The sample was irradiated by the USGS TRIGA Reactor in Denver, USA, in a cadmium-shielded canister for 12 MWh. Biotite standard GA1550 (98.5 ± 0.8 Ma; Spell and McDougall, 2003) was used as the neutron flux monitor. The sample was incrementally step-heated 21 times in a tantalum crucible using a double-vacuum resistance furnace and analysed using a VG1200 gas-source mass spectrometer with a sensitivity of mol mv 1. Correction factors applied were as follows: 36 Ar/ 37 Ar ; 39 Ar/ 37 Ar ; 40 Ar/ 39 Ar ; ( 36 Ar) Cl /( 37 Ar) K ; ( 38 Ar) K /( 39 Ar) K ; Ca/K 1.90; λ 40 K A J- factor of was applied to sample KP K abundances and decay constants are taken from standard values recommended by the IUGS subcommission on geochronology (Steiger and Jäger, 1977). Data were reduced with the software Noble v1.8 and analysed with eargon software developed by G. S. Lister (available from using methods outlined by Forster and Lister (2004). Plots of log 10 (D 0 /r 2 ) against T -1 (Arrhenius plot; Fig. DR6) and log 10 (r/r 0 ) against % 39 Ar release (Fig. DR7), where D 0 = frequency factor of diffusion, r 0 = radius of the reference domain, and r = radius of domain under consideration (see Forster and Lister, 2004), demonstrate that two distinct reservoirs for argon retention existed within the mineral grains, calculated to have a closure temperatures (T C ) of 289 C and 228 C, respectively. As shown by the apparent age spectrum (Fig. DR8), the grain domains with T C = 289 C were degassed by heating steps 10 to 12 (accounting for 37% of total 39 Ar release) relating to a cooling age of ± 0.04 Ma and the grain domains with T C = 228 C were degassed by heating steps 1 and 2 (accounting for 10% of total 39 Ar release) relating to a cooling age of ± 0.29 Ma. Both domains are confirmed by the 36 Ar/ 40 Ar versus 39 Ar/ 40 Ar plot (York plot; Fig. DR9) to have housed negligible atmospheric argon. TABLES & FIGURES

Closure temperatures (T c ) of 289 C and 228 C, respectively, can be related to these steps which are interpreted to have degassed argon from two separate reservoirs within the biotite.
