Abstract

We conducted isotopic model calculations and high-pressure melting experiments in order to estimate the major element composition of the “missing reservoir”, which is a supposed component that should compensate the difference in 142Nd/144Nd ratio between the bulk silicate Earth and carbonaceous chondrite, from which the Earth is assumed to have formed. Our estimation demonstrated that the missing reservoir should have picritic to komatiitic composition, and that it was likely to have been lost from the Earth's surface by a giant impact event at the last stage of the Earth formation.<br>
