Primitive oxygen-isotope ratio recorded in magmatic zircon from the Mid-Atlantic Ridge

The oxygen-isotope composition of the Earth's upper mantle is an important reference for understanding mantle and crust geochemical cycles. Olivine is the most commonly used mineral for determining the influence of crustal processes on the oxygen-isotope ratio (d18O) of primitive rocks, however...
