 Petrogenesis of Hawaiian postshield lavas: Evidence from Nintoku Seamount, Emperor Seamount Chain
Major and trace element, and age-corrected Sr and Nd isotope compositions of the Nintoku lavas are similar to those of young postshield lavas from the Hawaiian Islands.
However, variations in the trace element and isotopic compositions of the Nintoku lavas indicate derivation from a heterogeneous mantle source.
For alkalic postshield lavas, this could result from either increased melting of the oceanic lithosphere beneath volcanoes situated on younger oceanic crust or lower degrees of incompatible trace element enrichment in the lowermost portions of younger oceanic lithosphere.
