Due to the large partition coefficients of garnet for Lu compared to Sm, Nd, and Hf, garnet residual from crustal melting events has a large potential for retaining Lu and, over time, producing high reservoirs in the lower ...
We report new Hf (and Nd) data for more than 100 sedimentary samples, recent to Archean in age, from a wide range of depositional environments. These data document the behavior of Lu-Hf and Sm-Nd isotopic systems in the ...
