Geochimical segmentation of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge north of Iceland and ridge-hot spot interaction in the North Atlantic
International audience Hafnium, Nd, and Pb isotope data are reported for mid-ocean ridge basalts (MORB) from the Mid-Atlantic Ridge between 50°N and 78°N. Treating Pb isotopes separately from Sr, Nd, and Hf isotopes drastically reduces the number of end-members required to account for mixing propert...

International audience Hafnium, Nd, and Pb isotope data are reported for mid-ocean ridge basalts (MORB) from the Mid-Atlantic Ridge between 50°N and 78°N. Treating Pb isotopes separately from Sr, Nd, and Hf isotopes drastically reduces the number of end-members required to account for mixing properties in the investigated basalt population. Three geochemical end-members account for >99.95% of the observed Pb isotope variability. The isotopic compositions of Pb are somewhat decoupled from those of other isotopic systems due to nonlinear mixing relationships between isotopic compositions of different elements and elemental fractionation by magmatic processes. The first principal component reflects a mixture of two geochemical end-members, DM and the common component C. The third end-member (EM) is enriched and its Th/U ratio substantially higher than that of the first two end-members. The HIMU end-member apparently is missing. Iceland and Jan Mayen divide the northern Mid-Atlantic Ridge into three isotopically distinct segments. The strong first Pb principal component present in Icelandic basalts expands southward into the Reykjanes Ridge, but not northward into the Kolbeinsey Ridge.
