Subducted Carbon From Mantle Plume in Mid‐Ocean Ridge Basalts by Haitao Zhang, Quanshu Yan, Xuefa Shi, Chuanshun Li, Fang Huang, Qiuyu Wen

“…In this study, we analyze the magnesium isotope composition of basalts collected from the South Mid‐Atlantic Ridge (SMAR), which have been influenced by the off‐axis Saint Helena plume originating from the core‐mantle boundary. The magnesium isotope composition of SMAR basalts falls within a similar range (−0.22 to −0.32‰; average −0.25‰ ± 0.03‰) to that of known global oceanic basalts. …”
