Lead isotope evidence for young trace element enrichment in the oceanic upper mantle

ISOTOPIC heterogeneity in ocean island basalts has generally been ascribed to processes related to the long-term cycling of mantle material 1–6 . A recent study of Cameroon line lavas reported higher 208 Pb/< 204 Pb and 206 Pb/< 204 Pb ratios towards the continent/ocean boundary (c.o.b.), but...

description ISOTOPIC heterogeneity in ocean island basalts has generally been ascribed to processes related to the long-term cycling of mantle material 1–6 . A recent study of Cameroon line lavas reported higher 208 Pb/< 204 Pb and 206 Pb/< 204 Pb ratios towards the continent/ocean boundary (c.o.b.), but no corresponding increase in 207 Pb/< 204 Pb, indicating large in situ fractionations of uranium and thorium relative to lead in the upper mantle ∼10 8 years ago 7 . Here we present neodymium, strontium and lead isotope data for a variety of central Atlantic islands, and show that similar offsets in lead isotope ratios are found in lavas from the islands of Madeira and Trinidade. Like the Cameroon line c.o.b. lavas, these lavas are characterized by high U/Pb and Ce/Pb, low K/U and are located in areas of old oceanic lithosphere 8 . But in contrast to the Cameroon line 7 , the Madeira lavas are derived from an enriched MORB-type source with low 207 Pb/< 204 Pb and 87 Sr/< 86 Sr and high 143 Nd/< 144 Nd The lead isotope data can be explained if the U/Pb ratios in the sources are comparable to those observed for the lavas and the U/Pb fractionation occurred at the time of formation of the local oceanic lithosphere. Although we do not have a satisfactory explanation for the U/Pb fractionation, it must have occurred at shallow depths in the mantle, near a spreading ridge; and the resulting enriched source regions have since remained fixed relative to the migrating lithosphere.
