Research Abstract

We measured <^3He> / <^4He> ratio and Ne isotopic ratios in diamonds He isotopic ratios range from <10^(-7)> to <10^(-4)> , which is quite similar to our previous results. <^(20)Ne> / <^(22)Ne> ratios range from 11 to 13. Both the He and Ne isotopic ratios suggest strongly that the primordial He and Ne in the earth are identical with a solar type ones.
We measured more than 100 deep-sea sediments from the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans for <^3He> / <^4He> ratio. We observed very high <^3He> / <^4He> (- <10^(-4)> ), which is concluded due to the incorporation of extra-terrestrial materials, such as IDPs (inter planetary dust particles). The amount of the incorporated IDPs is estimated to be from 0.1 to 10 ppm. Detailed isotopic analyses on magnetic separates from deep-sea sediments show that He and Ne isotopic compositions are similar to solar flare components, i.e., <^3He> / <^4He> = (1.8 <-!+> 0.4) x <10^(-4)> and <^(20)Ne> / <^(22)Ne> = 11.6 <-!+> 0.6.
We compiled published terrestrial Xe isotopic data and discussed the mantle evolution, we conclude from the Xe isotopic data that there still remains primitive region(s) in the mantle which has been decoupled from the rest of the mantle since the formation of the earth.
