Abstract

The two stable isotopes of Li are significantly fractionated by exchange reactions with clays near the Earth's surface. The isotopic legacy of this process provides a robust tracer of surface material that is returned (recycled) to the mantle. Altered oceanic crust has a heavy Li isotopic composition (high
