Evidence of ghost plagioclase signature induced by kinetic fractionation of europium in the Earth’s mantle
Researchers found natural evidence of kinetic Eu anomalies caused by melt-induced diffusion in mantle peridotite clinopyroxene, providing an alternative to crustal recycling for the enigmatic ghost plagioclase signatures in oceanic basalts.
