Journal ArticleDOI
The chemical composition of the Earth: Enstatite chondrite models
Marc Javoy,Edouard Kaminski,François Guyot,Denis Andrault,Chrystele Sanloup,Manuel Moreira,Stéphane Labrosse,Albert Jambon,Pierre Agrinier,Anne Davaille,Claude Jaupart +10 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a new model of Earth's bulk composition based on enstatite chondrites (E-chondrites), the only chondrite group isotopically identical to the Earth.
Journal ArticleDOI
Rare Gas Systematics in Popping Rock: Isotopic and Elemental Compositions in the Upper Mantle
TL;DR: New experimental data on the isotopic variations of neon, argon, and xenon in a popping rock imply that Earth accreted from planetesimals that probably underwent a transformation of their rare gas budget from solar- to chondritic-like, leaving the isotopy composition unchanged from the solar pattern.
Journal ArticleDOI
Helium signature of the subcontinental lithospheric mantle
Cécile Gautheron,Manuel Moreira +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluate a model where the continental lithospheric mantle is in steady state for helium and give values around 100 Ma, compatible with plate tectonic time scales and melt fluxes through the lithosphere.
Journal ArticleDOI
Non-chondritic sulphur isotope composition of the terrestrial mantle.
TL;DR: It is shown that the mantle, as sampled by mid-ocean ridge basalts from the south Atlantic ridge, displays heterogeneous 34S/32S ratios, directly correlated to the strontium and neodymium isotope ratios 87Sr/86Sr and 143Nd/144Nd.
Journal ArticleDOI
Helium and lead isotope geochemistry of the Azores Archipelago
TL;DR: In this article, helium and lead isotopic data for basalts from the Azores archipelago (North Atlantic) were used to detect the coexistence of two mantle components, which are identified by data from Sao Miguel and Terceira.
