Evidence for compositionally distinct upper mantle plumelets since the early history of the Tristan-Gough hotspot

Abstract Recent studies indicate that mantle plumes, which transfer material and heat from the earth’s interior to its surface, represent multifaceted upwellings. The Tristan-Gough hotspot track (South Atlantic), which formed above a mantle plume, documents spatial geochemical zonation in two distin...
