Fertile upper mantle peridotite xenoliths indicate no wholesale destruction of cratonic root in East Asia
Abstract A major question in geodynamic evolution of the Earth is whether the continental keel evolved geochemically or were delaminated and replaced by a new mantle. Here we present direct evidence for the geochemical evolution of continental keel from lherzolite xenoliths preserved in the Cenozoic...
