Evidence from the paper

Fitting the 54.7° data below 50 GPa to a Birch-Manurghan equation of state yields a pressure derivative of the bulk modulus, K_0, is fixed at 304 GPa [25]. This pressure derivative is intermediate to previous values...

Additional notes

note
K0 fixed to 304 GPa from Ref. [25] (Li and Liebermann ultrasonic study). The fitted numerical value of the pressure derivative K0' from this study appears garbled/missing in the provided text and is not reported here.
