Evidence for melting mud in Earth's mantle from extreme oxygen isotope signatures in zircon
© 2017 Geological Society of America. Melting of subducted sediment remains controversial, as direct observation of sediment melt generation at mantle depths is not possible. Geochemical fingerprints provide indirect evidence for subduction delivery of sediment to the mantle; however, sediment abund...
