Zinc isotopic evidence for recycled carbonate in the deep mantle

Zinc isotopic evidence for recycled carbonate in the deep mantle

Zhang et al. perform high-precision zinc (Zn) isotopic analysis on lavas from St. Helena Island in the Atlantic, and Cook-Austral Islands in the Pacific, and confirm that ancient superficial carbonates were transported into the deep mantle billions of years ago.
