Abstract
Trace element and isotopic data for magmas from the two major mantle reservoirs appear to be inconsistent. The incompatible elements and Sr and Nd isotopes show that abyssal tholeiities (MORB) are form a reservoir that has current and time-integrated depletions of the elements that are fractionated into a melt. MORB, however, have 206Pb/204Pb and 207Pb/204Pb ratios suggesting long-term enrichment in U/Pb (i.e. future single-stage ages). Alkali basalts and tholeiities from continents and oceanic islands are derived from LILE-and U/Pb-enriched reservoirs. Sr and Nd isotopic ratios, however, appear to indicate that some of these basalts are derived from unfractionated reservoirs and others from reservoirs with time-integrated depletions. The apparent stages of the mantle reservoirs are much younger than the ages of continental shields.
