Degassing and contamination of noble gases in Mid-Atlantic Ridge basalts
New He, Ne, Ar and CO2 stepped-crushing data from the Mid-Atlantic Ridge show that contamination of basalts by atmospheric noble gases involves three or more components: unfractionated air, fractionated air with high 36Ar/22Ne (45) and fractionated air with low 36Ar/22Ne (5). In addition, the magmat...
