Fig. 4: Whole-rock elemental ratios and Monte Carlo isotopic simulation for mafic rocks in the Tethyan domain.

From: Redox state of subducted sediments controls porphyry copper mineralization along the Tethyan belt

a Ba/La versus Th/Yb; b Lu/Hf versus Th/La; c143Nd/144Nd versus initial 87Sr/86Sr in arc settings; d143Nd/144Nd versus initial 87Sr/86Sr in collisional settings. Data for the mafic rocks are collected from the database GEOROC and listed in Supplementary Data 3. The crosses with different colors represent random mixing of pelagic or terrigenous sediments with the depleted mantle at variable proportions from a Monte Carlo simulation. Details of the end-members are listed in Supplementary Data 4.
