Supplementary Information.

The data provided in the Supplementary Materials excel spreadsheet are derived

from EDS analyses. The column labeled “App Conc” lists the calculated elemental

concentrations based on counting statistics; the column labeled “Intensity Corrn” is the

correction factor applied to the “App Conc” values so as to have the final Wt%

calculation sum to 100%.

EDS Accuracy

In addition to determining the chemical compositions of the inclusions, a large

population of trinitite glass was also analyzed. Concentrations of Mg, Al, Si, Ca, Ti, and

Fe measured in the glasses in this study (data provided in the spreadsheet) are compared

to those from the literature (Fahey et al. 2010) in Supplementary Figure S1. The range in

compositions is large, which is expected due to the large degree of heterogeneity in

trinitite, but comparable to those provided in the literature.

Table 1. Trinitite Samples and Descriptions

Sample Description

1

2 Specimens with large gas pockets in the surface or around perimeter

3

4A Red inclusions- The red inclusions are due to the presence of copper.

4B Black inclusions- Due to the presence of iron.

4C

4D Blue inclusions-small, glassy, white to very light robin's egg blue color inclusions

4E

4F "Coke bottle" color inclusions.

5A

5B

5D

5E Lace-like specimens, always small, very delicate.

5F Specimens with unfused, iron blebs.

Specimens with glass-like fused top surface--this is the most common type of

surface feature seen on the trinitite specimens.

the bottom of each specimen in this group exhibits the rough texture of the sandy

desesrt surface, which remained untouched by the blast. The tops of the

specimens have lumpy, convoluted, sand included, or otherwise irregular surfaces.

Unusual protuberances or casts on the bases of these specimens.

Elongated, finger-like extrusions. Always small, very delicate probably rare

because they are fragile and easily broken.

Light colored glass, or light colored flow marks-the light colored glass, or light

colored flow marks seen on some specimens are typical of material found 100 to

700 feet from ground zero and were part of the lighter colroed rays seen in aerial

photographs taken shortly after the explosion

White inclusions-White inclusions consist of small masses of the partially to totally

fused white feldspar or quartz

Layered specimens have lighter colored trinitite glass bases, usually with darker

colored surfaces.
