... H M A and the continental crust. Alternatively, small degree melts of metabasalt and/or metasediment in the subducting slab may leave rutile in their residue, and will thus have large Nb depletions relative to K and La [2]. Slab melts are too rich in light rare earth elements and other incompatible ...
