Abstract
In this chapter the Nd isotopic data on continental igneous rocks are examined with emphasis on the implications for petrogenesis. The interpretations are based mainly on two concepts. One is a general model of isotopic variations of Nd and Sr in the crust and mantle, and the other is the systematics of mixing between the products of the different magma sources in the crust and mantle.
