Scientific paper

Rare earth element (REE) patterns in the deep Pacific are strongly depleted in the lighter elements and have a large negative cerium anomaly. These REE patterns and associated concentration-depth profiles are maintained by regeneration in deep waters modified by preferential scavenging of the lighter elements. Scavenging by iron- and manganese-rich hydrothermal plumes might explain why vast areas of sediments far removed from spreading centres contain a metalliferous component.
