Evidence for melting mud in Earth's mantle from extreme oxygen isotope signatures in zircon

Evidence for melting mud in Earth's mantle from extreme oxygen isotope signatures in zircon

The role of sediment melting in Earth's mantle remains controversial, as direct observation of melt generation in the mantle is not possible. Geochemical fingerprints provide indirect evidence for subduction-delivery of sediment to the mantle, however sediment abundance in mantle-derived melt i...
