Continental and Oceanic Crust Recycling-induced Melt^Peridotite Interactions in the Trans-North China Orogen: U^Pb Dating, Hf Isotopes and Trace Elements in Zircons from Mantle Xenoliths

TL;DR: In this article, the first finding of continental crust-derived Precambrian zircons in garnet/spinel pyroxenite veins within mantle xenoliths carried by the Neogene Hannuoba basalt in the central zone of the North China Craton (NCC).

The Lu–Hf and Sm–Nd isotopic composition of CHUR: Constraints from unequilibrated chondrites and implications for the bulk composition of terrestrial planets

TL;DR: In this paper, the Lutetium-Hafnium radiogenic isotopic system is used as a chronometer and tracer of planetary evolution, and the Lu-Hf system parameters need to be more tightly constrained, in particular the LuHf isotopic composition of the chondritic uniform reservoir and, by extension, the bulk silicate Earth.
Journal ArticleDOI

Calibration of the lutetium-hafnium clock.

TL;DR: The existence of strongly unradiogenic hafnium in Early Archean and Hadean zircons implies that enriched crustal reservoirs existed on Earth by 4.3 billion years ago and persisted for 200 million years or more, and current models of early terrestrial differentiation need revision.

Evolution of the depleted mantle: Hf isotope evidence from juvenile rocks through time

TL;DR: In this article, the covariant behavior of Lu-Hf and Sm-Nd isotopes during most magmatic processes has been recognized, but the details of this behavior in the depleted mantle reservoir have not been adequately examined.

Amalgamation between the Yangtze and Cathaysia Blocks in South China: Constraints from SHRIMP U–Pb zircon ages, geochemistry and Nd–Hf isotopes of the Shuangxiwu volcanic rocks

TL;DR: The Shuangxiwu Group volcanic rocks from the southeastern Yangtze Block were studied in this paper, and the results indicated that the tectonic regime of the study region transformed from plate convergence to intracontinental rifting in the time period between ca. 890 and ca. 850.

The continental crust: Its composition and evolution

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe the composition of the present upper crust and deal with possible compositions for the total crust and the inferred composition of lower crust, and the question of the uniformity of crustal composition throughout geological time is discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

The chemical composition of subducting sediment and its consequences for the crust and mantle

TL;DR: This article evaluated subducting sediments on a global basis in order to better define their chemical systematics and to determine both regional and global average compositions, and then used these compositions to assess the importance of sediments to arc volcanism and crust-mantle recycling, and to re-evaluate the chemical composition of the continental crust.

The Lu-Hf isotope geochemistry of chondrites and the evolution of the mantle-crust system

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors obtained a new set of present-day mean values in chondrites of176Hf/177Hf = 0.282772 ± 29 and176Lu/177 Hf= 0.0332 ± 2.

Sm-Nd isotopic evolution of chondrites

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that none of the analyzed meteorite samples deviated more than 0.5 e-units from a 4.6-AE reference isochron and defined an initial 4.5-AE value for CHUR using the Juvinas data of Lugmair.

Plate tectonics and sandstone compositions

TL;DR: The relationship between provenance and basin is important for hydrocarbon exploration because sand frameworks of contrasting detrital compositions respond differently to diagenesis, and thus display different trends of porosity reduction with depth of burial as mentioned in this paper.
