Abstract
The results of this study show that the genesis of UHP garnet pyroxenites in orogenic peridotites requires a new recipe for the marble cake mantle hypothesis, combining significant recycling and stirring of both oceanic and continental lower crust in the Earth's mantle. Furthermore, this study establishes a firm connection between the isotopic signatures of UHP pyroxenite heterogeneities in the mantle and the continental lower crust.
