Vestiges of impact-driven three-phase mixing in the chemistry and structure of Earth's mantle
Highly siderophile elements (HSEs; namely Ru, Rh, Pd, Re, Os, Ir, Pt, and Au) in Earth's
mantle require the addition of metals after the formation of Earth's core. Early, large …

The Eoarchean Muzidian gneiss complex: Long-lived Hadean crustal components in the building of Archean continents
The nature of Earth's first crust and the processes that formed it are poorly constrained due
to limited exposures of> 3.7 billion-year-old (Ga) rocks. Here we report the discovery of a …

Long-term core–mantle interaction explains W-He isotope heterogeneities
The isotopic characteristics of ocean island basalts have long been used to infer the nature
of their source and the long-term evolution of the Earth's mantle. Anticorrelation between …

Ni isotopes provide a glimpse of Earth's pre-late-veneer mantle
Moderately siderophile (eg, Ni) and highly siderophile elements (HSEs) in the bulk silicate
Earth (BSE) are believed to be partly or near-completely delivered by late accretion after the …

The komatiite testimony to ancient mantle heterogeneity
Komatiites are crystallized samples of high-temperature, high-MgO lavas that were common
during the Archean, but became increasingly rarer in the Proterozoic and Phanerozoic …

Convective isolation of Hadean mantle reservoirs through Archean time
Although Earth has a convecting mantle, ancient mantle reservoirs that formed within the first
100 Ma of Earth's history (Hadean Eon) appear to have been preserved through geologic …

Evidence for a missing late veneer from 182W and 142Nd systematics in the Archean São Francisco Craton
The oldest crustal remnants on Earth are represented by greenstone belts and tonalite-
