Spatial Characteristics of Recycled and Primordial Reservoirs in the Deep Mantle

M. G. Jackson et al.

Summary: This study reevaluated the spatial distribution of geochemical reservoirs and their link to mantle convection, indicating that high-He-3/He-4 is not geographically confined to the LLSVPs. The research suggests that the generation of high-He-3/He-4 is dependent on plume dynamics rather than geography, while hotspots sampling recycled continental crust are closely linked to LLSVPs.

A Late Cretaceous true polar wander oscillation

Ross N. Mitchell et al.

Summary: A new high-resolution paleomagnetic record from two overlapping stratigraphic sections in Italy provides evidence for a 12-degree true polar wander oscillation from 86 to 78 million years ago, with the greatest excursion at 84-82 million years ago. This challenges the notion of the spin axis being largely stable over the past 100 million years and represents the most recent large-scale TPW documented.
