The vast extent of trace-element differentiation in Hadean peridotite xenoliths is most probably explained by the appearance of appreciable masses of condensed water and, consequently, active mantle metasomatism in the hydrated lithosphere," researchers in Russia report. "The latter formed the upper depleted (oceanic)...
