Refinement of the supercontinent cycle with Hf, Nd and Sr isotopes

The combined use of Hf, Nd and Sr isotopes is more useful in understanding the supercontinent cycle than the use of only Hf isotopic data from detrital zircons. Sr and Nd seawater isotopes, although not as precise as ɛNd and ɛHf distributions, also record input from ocean ridge systems. Unlike detri...
