Extensive crustal extraction in Earth’s early history inferred from molybdenum isotopes
Estimates of the volume of the earliest crust based on zircon ages and radiogenic isotopes remain equivocal. Stable isotope systems, such as molybdenum, have the potential to provide further constraints but re...
