STUDY OF THE ARCHEEN MANTLE. INPUTS AND LIMITS OF GEOCHEMICAL TRACERS (REE, Nd, Hf, Sr and 0)
In this study, an attempt is made to constrain further the compositional heterogeneity and evolutionof the Archaean mantle (T ranging from 2500 to 3800 Ma) using major, trace element (Rare BarthElements) and isotopie (Nd, Hf, Sr, and 0) compositions of ancient basic-ultrabasic rocks(komatütes, basal...
