Scientific paper

Since the isotopic heterogeneity of ocean island basalts is of variable character and requires billions of years to evolve, the observed heterogeneity is presently explained in terms of mixing between the delaminated continental lithosphere, a continental crustal component, the depleted mantle and the pristine mantle. Such mixing occurs in a boundary layer located at the bottom of the upper mantle, from which ascending blobs rise.
