182 W Evidence for Long-Term Preservation of Early Mantle Differentiation Products
Abstract
Earth's Sluggish Past: Based on their affinity for iron or silicon, some elements partition into different compartments of Earth's interior. In the early stages of the formation of the solar system, when Earth was rapidly accreting and differentiating to form a core and mantle, elements such as tungsten and hafnium went along for the ride. By studying the signatures of these elements and their isotopes in ancient volcanic rocks from the mantle, Touboul et al. (p. 1065 , published online 16 February; see the Perspective by Bennett ) reveal that there was a long-lived 182 W reservoir that formed deep within Earth during the first 30 million years of the solar system. Because the reservoir persisted for over 1.7 billion years, it appears the mantle was poorly mixed and indeed it was so sluggish that it did not even homogenize during the massive collision that formed the Moon.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
