摘要

The isotope ~(146)Sm undergoes a-decay to ~(142)Nd, with a half-life of 103 million years. Measurable variations in the ~(142)Nd/~(144)Nd values of rocks resulting from Sm-Nd fractionation could therefore only have been produced within about 400 million years of the Solar System's formation (that is, when ~(146)Sm was extant). The ~(142)Nd/~(144)Nd compositions of terrestrial rocks are accordingly a sensitive monitor of the main silicate differentiation events that took place in the early Earth. High ~(142)Nd/~(144)Nd values measured in some Archaean rocks from Greenland hint at the existence of an early incompatible-element-depleted mantle. Here we present measurements of low ~(142)Nd/~(144)Nd values in 1.48-gigayear-(Gyr)-old lithospheric mantle-derived alkaline rocks from the Khariar nepheline syenite complex in southeastern India. These data suggest that a reservoir that was relatively enriched in incompatible elements formed at least 4.2 Gyr ago and traces of its iso-topic signature persisted within the lithospheric root of the Bastar craton until at least 1.48 Gyr ago. These low ~(142)Nd/~(144)Nd compositions may represent a diluted signature of a Hadean (4 to 4.57 Gyr ago) enriched reservoir that is characterized by even lower values. That no evidence of the early depleted mantle has been observed in rocks younger than 3.6 Gyr (refs 3,4,7) implies that such domains had effectively mixed back into the converting mantle by then. In contrast, some early enriched components apparently escaped this fate. Thus, the mantle sampled by magmatism since 3.6 Gyr ago may be biased towards a depleted composition that would be balanced by relatively more enriched reservoirs that are 'hidden' in Hadean crust, the D" layer of the lowermost mantle or, as we propose here, also within the roots of old cratons.
