Preservation of Earth-forming events in the tungsten isotopic composition of modern flood basalts
Isotopes isolated after impact Details about how Earth formed are gleaned from the daughter products of certain short-lived radioactive isotopes found in rocks. Rizo et al. describe subtle tungsten isotope variations in rocks from the very deep mantle in Baffin Island and the Ontong Java Plateau (se...
