Actually Doug unless Polars Si6000 impedance calculator is wrong the 
answer is yes.
trace width 11.97/12.97 mils, separation 5.323 mils, 1.2 mil thick, 16 
mils above plane, Er 4.2
Differential impedance 100 ohms, Z odd 50, Z even 99.99 Zcommon 50
I've attached a jpeg screenshot,  which the list will strip off, but you 
should get it.
