Evidence from the paper

Fitting the room temperature density data to a 2nd order Birch-Murnaghan equation of state, i.e. with K' = 4, yields estimates for the room pressure isothermal bulk moduli K_T of 257(2) and 246.0(2) GPa ... Corresponding zero pressure densities were ... rho_0 = 4.161(1) g·cm-3 for ... the (Fe, Mg)-Pv samples. Table 2: This study (K' fixed) 246(2) 4

Additional notes

note
Table 2 lists this value as 246(2) GPa; text gives 246.0(2) GPa. V0 field carries zero-pressure density; Archimedes density 4.16 g·cm-3
