Java and Manihiki oceanic plateaus are believed to have formed through high-degree melting of a mantle plume head. Boninite-like, low-Ti basement rocks at Manihiki, however, imply a more complex magma genesis compared with Ontong Java basement lavas that can be generated by ∼30% melting of a primitive mantle source. Here we show that the trace element and isotope compositions of low-Ti Manihiki rocks can best be explained by re-melting of an ultra-depleted source (possibly a common mantle component in the Ontong Java and Manihiki plume sources) re-enriched by ≤1% of an ocean-island-basalt-like melt component. Unlike boninites formed via hydrous flux melting of refractory mantle at subduction zones, these boninite-like intraplate rocks formed through adiabatic decompression melting of refractory plume material that has been metasomatized by ocean-island-basalt-like melts. Our results suggest that caution is required before assuming all Archaean boninites were formed in association with subduction processes.</p></div></front><back><div1 type="bibliography"><listBibl><biblStruct><analytic><author><name sortKey="Richards, M A" uniqKey="Richards M">M.

Boninite-like, low-Ti basement rocks at Manihiki, however, imply a more complex magma genesis compared with Ontong Java basement lavas that can be generated by ∼30% melting of a primitive mantle source. Here we show that the trace element and isotope compositions of low-Ti Manihiki rocks can best be explained by re-melting of an ultra-depleted source (possibly a common mantle component in the Ontong Java and Manihiki plume sources) re-enriched by ≤1% of an ocean-island-basalt-like melt component. Unlike boninites formed via hydrous flux melting of refractory mantle at subduction zones, these boninite-like intraplate rocks formed through adiabatic decompression melting of refractory plume material that has been metasomatized by ocean-island-basalt-like melts. Our results suggest that caution is required before assuming all Archaean boninites were formed in association with subduction processes.</p></abstract><abstract abstract-type="web-summary"><p>Large igneous provinces may form very quickly, but compositions often differ.

The boninite-like, U-shaped patterns are unique and enigmatic for plume-derived intraplate magmas, indicating depletion and re-enrichment processes involved in their genesis. In previous studies, the origin of the low-Ti rocks was explained by high-degree melting of a mixed source containing depleted mantle wedge material and small amounts of subducted volcaniclastic sediments<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b13">13</xref> and by extensive melting of a hybrid mantle source comprising FOZO-type peridotite and recycled oceanic crust<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b4">4</xref>.</p><p>Here we present geochemical data from rare, fresh glass samples and additional major element data from bulk rock samples from the Manihiki Plateau obtained by dredging during the R/V Sonne SO193 (ref. <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b4">4</xref>) and SO225 expeditions (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="f1">Fig. 1</xref>). Glass samples from the SO193 cruise yielded ages of 122.9±1.6 and 124.5±1.5 Myr (ref. <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b4">4</xref>). The fresh glasses provide a unique opportunity for precise geochemical characterization of the parental Manihiki melts, not possible with phenocryst-bearing whole rock samples variably affected by seawater alteration. We show that the origin of the low-Ti Manihiki rocks is related to re-melting of an isotopically distinctive, highly depleted plume source beneath Manihiki and possibly the OJP, comprising small and variable amounts of a recycled HIMU (high time-integrated <sup>238</sup>U/<sup>204</sup>Pb ratio)-like component.</p><sec disp-level="1"><title>Results</title><sec disp-level="2"><title>Composition of low-Ti glasses</title><p>Relics of fresh glasses were found in strongly palagonitized hyaloclastites and pillow-lava margins.

High CaO contents (12.9–13.2 wt%) reflect insignificant clinopyroxene fractionation consistent with its absence as a phenocryst phase. The low-Ti glasses also have low but variable K<sub>2</sub>O contents (0.02–0.17 wt%) at relatively constant and high Mg# (molar Mg/(Mg+Fe)=0.65–0.67). Compared with primitive Kroenke lavas from the OJP basement with similar MgO content (9–10 wt% MgO; ref. <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b15">15</xref>), the low-Ti Manihiki glasses have higher SiO<sub>2</sub> (51.4–52.4 versus ∼48.9–50.4 wt%) and lower TiO<sub>2</sub> (0.27–0.44 versus ∼0.68–0.78 wt%) contents. The low-Ti Manihiki glasses contain 0.13–0.25 wt% H<sub>2</sub>O, 350–546 p.p.m. S and 126–242 p.p.m. Cl (<xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="S1">Supplementary Table 1</xref> and ref. <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b4">4</xref>), which are similar to those in quenched glasses and olivine-hosted melt inclusions from OJP<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b15">15</xref><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b16">16</xref>.

However, Cl and H<sub>2</sub>O in the Manihiki glasses exhibit strong positive correlations with incompatible trace elements, whose concentrations are very low in seawater (for example, Th, Nb, rare earth elements (REE)). Such correlations preclude significant H<sub>2</sub>O and Cl degassing from magmas before and during eruption and are unexpected if magmas assimilated variable amounts of seawater-derived components, typically brine<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b21">21</xref>. Instead, the relative Cl and H<sub>2</sub>O enrichment in low-Ti glasses may reflect their source composition, which might be similar to the incompatible-element depleted sources of komatiites from the Abitibi Belt, Canada and Gorgona Island, eastern Pacific<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b22">22</xref><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b23">23</xref>.</p><p>The low-Ti Manihiki glass samples exhibit variable contents of highly incompatible elements and display U-shaped patterns on incompatible-element diagrams with concentrations normalized to N-MORB (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="f2">Fig. 2c</xref>). U-shaped patterns are also particularly well expressed by the REE normalized to chondrites (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="f2">Fig. 2d</xref>). The U-shaped patterns in Manihiki glasses are similar to those in high-Ca boninites from the Troodos ophiolite on Cyprus and the Tonga Arc, whereas Kroenke-type OJP rocks have relatively flat trace element patterns (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="f2">Fig. 2c</xref>). The low-Ti Manihiki glasses are more depleted in moderately incompatible elements (Lu to Zr) than primitive Kroenke lavas, whereas more incompatible elements (for example, light rare earth elements (LREE), Nb, Ta, Th, U, Ba, Rb) in low-Ti Manihiki glasses range from being more depleted to more enriched (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="f2">Fig. 2c</xref>). Both, low-Ti Manihiki and Kroenke/Kwaimbaita lavas show strong relative depletion in K relative to LREE and relative enrichment in Nb-Ta in the normalized incompatible-element patterns that distinguishes them from subduction-zone-related boninites from Troodos and Tonga, as does the lack of strong relative Pb enrichment of the low-Ti Manihiki glasses (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="f2">Fig. 2c</xref>).</p><p>Isotope compositions of the low-Ti glass samples fall into two clusters forming positive correlations on the <sup>87</sup>Sr/<sup>86</sup>Sr versus <sup>143</sup>Nd/<sup>144</sup>Nd and the Pb isotope diagrams, and negative correlations on <sup>206</sup>Pb/<sup>204</sup>Pb versus <sup>143</sup>Nd/<sup>144</sup>Nd and <sup>87</sup>Sr/<sup>86</sup>Sr isotope diagrams (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="f3">Fig. 3</xref>, <xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="S1">Supplementary Fig. 1</xref>).

Glasses with the strongest enrichment in the most incompatible elements have the most radiogenic Pb (<xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="S1">Supplementary Table 1</xref>) and the least radiogenic Sr and Nd isotope signatures, and trend towards the compositions of some HIMU-like ocean-island basalts (OIBs).</p></sec></sec><sec disp-level="1"><title>Discussion</title><p>Manihiki low-Ti tholeiites share a number of characteristics with boninites from subduction-related settings, which are defined as rocks with >52 wt% SiO<sub>2</sub>, >8 wt% MgO and <0.5 wt% TiO<sub>2</sub> (ref. <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b14">14</xref>). Two glass samples, as well as a significant number of whole rock samples, fulfil the major element criteria for boninites in terms of SiO<sub>2</sub>, TiO<sub>2</sub> and MgO content (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="f2">Fig. 2a,b</xref>, <xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="S1">Supplementary Table 1, 2</xref>). In addition, both the low-Ti Manihiki rocks and boninites have U-shaped incompatible element patterns with low Sm/Yb but high La/Sm (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="f2">Fig. 2c,d</xref>), and low Ti/V (<12) ratios. Based on high CaO/Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> ratios (0.83–0.88), the mafic low-Ti Manihiki tholeiites are similar to high-Ca-boninites<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b24">24</xref>, such as, for example, those from the Tonga Arc<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b25">25</xref> and the Troodos upper pillow lavas on Cyprus<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b26">26</xref>, indicating their origin from a clinopyroxene-bearing, depleted lherzolite or harzburgite source<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b27">27</xref>.</p><p>A major process for generating the characteristic compositional features of boninites is melting of highly depleted (through previous melt extraction) peridotitic mantle, triggered through addition of a hydrous slab-derived fluid or melt, enriched in incompatible elements<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b25">25</xref>. The hydrous fluid/melt lowers the solidus temperature of the depleted peridotite, causing it to melt<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b24">24</xref><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b28">28</xref>. Several geochemical characteristics of the low-Ti Manihiki magmas, however, are not consistent with a subduction origin. There is no evidence of strong, selective enrichment in highly fluid-mobile elements (for example, Rb, Sr, U, Pb). Further, the strong enrichment in Nb and Ta compared with other incompatible elements is unusual for subduction-related magmas (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="f2">Fig. 2c</xref>). In addition, the Manihiki glasses have low H<sub>2</sub>O contents (0.13-0.25 wt%, see <xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="S1">Supplementary Table 1</xref> and ref. <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b4">4</xref>). Finally, palaeo-reconstruction studies indicate that the plateau basement formed in an oceanic intraplate setting, possibly near a mid-ocean-ridge spreading centre, but far away from a subduction zone<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b8">8</xref><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b29">29</xref>.</p><p>In contrast to the enriched fluid or melt component in boninites, which is derived from the subducting slab, we show in the following discussion that the re-enrichment of the ultra-depleted mantle source at Manihiki most likely occurred through addition of an enriched HIMU-like mantle plume component to the source. Unlike hydrous fluids involved in boninite petrogenesis, the small amounts (≤1%, see below) of this HIMU mantle component probably did not have a major affect on the degree of mantle melting, and instead were mainly responsible for the variability in the concentrations of highly incompatible elements and Sr-Nd-Pb isotope ratios in low-Ti Manihiki magmas.</p><p>Variations of radiogenic isotope ratios (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="f3">Fig. 3</xref>; <xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="S1">Supplementary Fig. 1</xref>; <xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="S1">Supplementary Table 1</xref>) in the low-Ti Manihiki glasses indicate that they do not simply represent different melt fractions from a single homogeneous mantle source. Following the criteria of ref. <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b30">30</xref>, linear correlations between incompatible element and isotope ratios with the same denominator (<xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="S1">Supplementary Fig. 2</xref>) allow us to narrow down the range of possible scenarios for the origin of Manihiki magmas, indicating either mixing of two magmas from different sources (‘magma mixing') or fixed degree of melting of a heterogeneous mantle source, comprising different proportions of depleted and enriched components (‘source mixing'), for example, metasomatism of a depleted source with variable amounts of an enriched component. Although these two petrogenetic scenarios cannot be distinguished solely on the basis of incompatible-element (<xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="S1">Supplementary Fig. 3</xref>) and isotope systematics<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b30">30</xref>, they imply different mass fractions of the two components and consequently different effects on the major element composition of the magmas.</p><p>Before we can determine the compositions of the depleted and enriched end members, we need to calculate the compositions of primary Manihiki magmas from the composition of the low-Ti glasses. We calculated the primary magma compositions using the PRIMELT2 model<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b31">31</xref>. The glasses are saturated with olivine and spinel, which are the only liquidus phases, and thus the application of the model, involving incremental addition of olivine to the evolved melt, is straightforward. The calculated primary magmas are in equilibrium with olivine Fo<sub>91.1–91.3</sub>, have high MgO (15.7–17.0 wt%) and CaO (10.4–11.0 wt%), and are peridotite-derived compositions (<xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="S1">Supplementary Table 3</xref>). Concentrations of incompatible elements in the primary magmas were then calculated by dilution of the trace element concentrations in glasses proportional to the amount of olivine added to the glass compositions.</p><p>To estimate the composition of the depleted source component, we first carried out forward modelling of pooled fractional melting, using a primitive mantle composition<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b32">32</xref> and bulk partition coefficients for peridotite melting<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b33">33</xref> to derive melts with similar concentrations of moderately incompatible elements, for example, heavy rare earth elements (HREE), to those in the calculated low-Ti primary melts (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="f4">Fig. 4</xref>, <xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="S1">Supplementary Fig. 4</xref>). The results of the forward modelling show that up to 15% fractional melting of fertile or moderately depleted mantle peridotite cannot explain the strong depletion of the Manihiki melts in moderately incompatible elements (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="f4">Fig. 4a</xref>). The required depletion can only be achieved with multi-stage melting, when a significantly depleted source (through previous melting) is re-melted, and the magmas produced during the second stage of melting do not mix with magmas of the initial stage of melting, implying a time gap between these two melting events. The best-fit parameters of the two-stage melting scenario obtained by the least-squares fitting of the HREE concentrations in the modelled melts to the Manihiki primary magmas are ∼11% melting of fertile peridotite during the first stage and ∼9% melting of the residual mantle during the second stage. Modelling with more depleted sources than primitive mantle (for example, Depleted MORB Mantle (DMM) type source<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b33">33</xref>) results in decreasing the estimate for the total extent of melting. Taking into account the uncertainties in the physical parameters of melting and the initial source composition, the estimates in <xref ref-type="fig" rid="f4">Fig. 4a</xref> only provide a possible (but not unique) origin for the depleted end member of the low-Ti Manihiki primary melts. Although the degrees of melting of the individual melting stages cannot be fully constrained, the conclusion about the necessity of two (or multi)-stage melting to explain the concentrations of moderately incompatible elements in primary Manihiki magmas is robust. In conclusion, the modelling results show that the depleted end member involved in the origin of the low-Ti Manihiki magmas could be highly depleted peridotite (that is, ultra-depleted mantle, UDM; <xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="S1">Supplementary table 4</xref>) residual after ∼11% fractional melting and melt removal.</p><p>Re-melting of residual mantle peridotite (and subsequent re-enrichment in incompatible elements) points to a similar type of origin for the low-Ti intraplate rocks and subduction-related boninites<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b24">24</xref>. Since the low-Ti rocks do not show any evidence for a subduction-related origin as discussed above, elevated temperature and further decompression melting related to the emplacement of a hot mantle plume head are likely to have driven the melting under the Manihiki Plateau rather than a hydrous fluid/melt. The overall lower SiO<sub>2</sub> content of the low-Ti tholeiites compared with boninites can also be explained through dry refractory lherzolite melting, since hydrous melting of refractory lherzolite would increase the contribution of orthopyroxene to the melt resulting in a higher SiO<sub>2</sub> melt content<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b28">28</xref>.</p><p>A recent study described ultra-depleted melt inclusions in olivines from a Kroenke-type lava (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="f2">Fig. 2a,b,d</xref>), which were proposed to originate from a previously unrecognized ultra-depleted component in the OJP mantle source<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b16">16</xref>. Since OJP, Hikurangi and Manihiki Plateaus are likely to have formed as a single plateau originally<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b8">8</xref><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b9">9</xref>, they presumably shared some similar source material. The recognition of UDM in the source of the low-Ti Manihiki magmas suggests that this mantle component may be involved in the origin of both OJP and Manihiki magmas.</p><p>The isotopic composition of the UDM end member can place important constraints on its origin. Since the modelled UDM incompatible element pattern shows systematically decreasing abundances of elements as they become more incompatible with the most incompatible elements (Rb through Ta) showing near zero abundances (<0.001; <xref ref-type="fig" rid="f4">Fig. 4a</xref>, <xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="S1">Supplementary Table 4</xref>), the most-depleted samples cannot serve as the depleted end member, due to their U-shaped patterns. Following the approach of ref. <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b30">30</xref>, the isotope composition of the UDM was estimated from linear correlations of the Manihiki low-Ti lavas on plots of x/Pb versus Pb isotope ratios, x/Nd versus <sup>143</sup>Nd/<sup>144</sup>Nd and x/Sr versus <sup>87</sup>Sr/<sup>86</sup>Sr (where x is a highly incompatible element, for example, Ba, which has a negligible—near zero—concentration in the residual mantle after fractional melting). Since the Ba concentration in the UDM is near to zero, ratios of Ba/Pb, Ba/Nd and Ba/Sr will also approach zero and thus the UDM will have the following isotopic composition: <sup>143</sup>Nd/<sup>144</sup>Nd=0.51285±0.00001, <sup>206</sup>Pb/<sup>204</sup>Pb=18.00±0.16, <sup>207</sup>Pb/<sup>204</sup>Pb=15.48±0.03, <sup>208</sup>Pb/<sup>204</sup>Pb=38.07±0.11, <sup>87</sup>Sr/<sup>86</sup>Sr=0.70373±0.00007 (<xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="S1">Supplementary Fig. 2</xref>, <xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="S1">Supplementary Table 5</xref>; see also <xref ref-type="fig" rid="f3">Fig. 3</xref>, <xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="S1">Supplementary Fig. 1</xref>). Higher <sup>208</sup>Pb/<sup>204</sup>Pb and more radiogenic <sup>87</sup>Sr/<sup>86</sup>Sr compared with Pacific MORB (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="f3">Fig. 3</xref>, <xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="S1">Supplementary Fig. 1</xref>) are not consistent with an origin of the UDM end member through melting of depleted Pacific MORB mantle in the lithosphere or asthenosphere above the plume at the time of formation of the Ontong Java and Manihiki plateaus. Furthermore, the more radiogenic <sup>143</sup>Nd/<sup>144</sup>Nd and less radiogenic Pb isotope ratios exclude any connection of the UDM to the presumably dominant Kroenke/Kwaimbaita lavas at OJP. The very high <sup>147</sup>Sm/<sup>144</sup>Nd parent/daughter ratio of ∼0.57 in the UDM end member (assuming 10% previous melt extraction from its source, see <xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="S1">Supplementary Table 4</xref>) places strong constraints on the timing between the depletion and re-enrichment (metasomatic) events. If the interval was ≥18 Myr, the <italic>ɛ</italic>Nd(t) for the UDM would have been <0. Therefore, the time interval between the events is likely to have been within a few million years unless the original UDM source was isotopically very enriched having very unradiogenic Nd isotopic composition (reflecting very low time-integrated <sup>147</sup>Sm/<sup>144</sup>Nd). Even the <sup>147</sup>Sm/<sup>144</sup>Nd of the two depleted samples (derived from the re-enriched UDM source) is high (up to 0.324) and thus the depletion event of the UDM source is unlikely to have taken place more than several hundred million years ago or the original UDM source was very enriched (<italic>ɛ</italic>Nd(t)<0 if more than 400 Myr ago). The elevated <sup>208</sup>Pb/<sup>204</sup>Pb (at its <sup>206</sup>Pb/<sup>204</sup>Pb, plotting above the Pacific MORB field) and relatively radiogenic <sup>87</sup>Sr/<sup>86</sup>Sr isotopic composition of the UDM end member overlaps almost completely with the range of Indian MORB, suggesting that it was ultimately derived from a source with a composition similar to the source of Indian MORB.</p><p>The primitive-mantle-normalized incompatible element patterns of the most enriched low-Ti glasses show enrichment in the moderately to highly incompatible elements, relative enrichments in Nb and Ta and relative depletions in K, Pb and Zr-Hf, general characteristics of HIMU-type lavas (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="f4">Fig. 4</xref>). Below we will test the source and melt mixing models to see which can best explain the compositions of the low-Ti melts.</p><p>First, we test the source-mixing model (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="f4">Fig. 4b</xref>) using the composition of primitive (MgO>10 wt%) HIMU-like lavas from the Rurutu Island, Austral archipelago, Central Pacific<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b34">34</xref>, which have isotope compositions similar to the most LREE-enriched low-Ti rocks, to serve as the enriched end member. The model reproduces the general shape of the incompatible-element patterns and abundances of U, Nb, Ta and LREE in the primitive low-Ti Manihiki magmas well (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="f4">Fig. 4b</xref>). Small discrepancies are however evident, primarily for fluid-mobile incompatible elements (Rb, Ba, U and Sr). A slightly better fit for the incompatible elements in the low-Ti Manihiki primary magmas can be achieved if the most enriched Macquarie Island ophiolite glasses<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b35">35</xref> (<xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="S1">Supplementary Fig. 4a</xref>), which also have HIMU-like incompatible element compositions but distinct (Pacific-MORB-like) isotopic compositions, are assumed for the enriched end member. The addition of ∼0.06 to 1% of the Rurutu or Macquarie enriched end members to the UDM source can reproduce the full range of low-Ti Manihiki incompatible-element patterns. A similarly good fit to the Manihiki magmas can be obtained by modelling direct mixing of ultra-depleted melt from the UDM source and an enriched Rurutu or Macquarie melt (<xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="S1">Supplementary Fig. 4b,c</xref>). The melt-mixing model, however, requires an order of magnitude more enriched melt (1–10%) to contribute to the Manihiki primary magmas than the source-mixing model. The melt-mixing model was therefore rejected as less probable due to the absence of correlations between major and trace elements in Manihiki glasses, expected from the relatively large mass fraction of the enriched melt required to fit the trace-element patterns. The origin of the magmas can thus be qualitatively attributed to melting ultra-depleted mantle metasomatized by the enriched melt component, present either cryptically or as a different lithology.</p><p>The possible isotopic composition of the enriched component was calculated by solving the general mixing equations for isotope ratios<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b30">30</xref> to fit the estimated mass fraction of the enriched component in the UDM obtained from trace element modelling and assuming Sr, Nd and Pb concentrations in the enriched component equal to the Rurutu melt used for the mixing model (see <xref ref-type="fig" rid="f4">Fig. 4b</xref>). The estimated initial isotope composition of the enriched component is <sup>143</sup>Nd/<sup>144</sup>Nd=0.51279±0.00001, <sup>206</sup>Pb/<sup>204</sup>Pb=19.87±0.16, <sup>207</sup>Pb/<sup>204</sup>Pb=15.66±0.03, <sup>208</sup>Pb/<sup>204</sup>Pb=39.17±0.11, <sup>87</sup>Sr/<sup>86</sup>Sr=0.70280±0.00007 (see <xref ref-type="fig" rid="f3">Fig. 3</xref>, <xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="S1">Supplementary Fig. 1</xref>, <xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="S1">Supplementary Table 5</xref>).

Following the prevailing point of view, the HIMU-like enriched component may originate from recycled oceanic crust<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b37">37</xref>.</p><p>On the basis of our new and previously published data, OJP and Manihiki Plateau, as well as possibly Hikurangi Plateau, were likely formed by melting of a compositionally heterogeneous plume source. The dominant plume component beneath the OJP and possibly the Hikurangi part of the original super-plateau (before breakup into individual plateau fragments) was the source of Kroenke/Kwaimbaita basement lavas<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b5">5</xref><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b10">10</xref><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b11">11</xref> (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="f5">Fig. 5</xref>), which possibly represented a nearly primitive mantle source from the lower mantle<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b12">12</xref>. The UDM component might also be present in the OJP source, but thus far has never been recognized in whole rock samples, but only as melt inclusions in olivine from one OJP Kroenke-type rock<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b16">16</xref>. The dominant plume component beneath Manihiki appears to be the UDM metasomatized by HIMU-like melts. Together the UDM (mantle from which melt has been previously extracted) and enriched HIMU-like (recycled ocean crust) end members may represent relatively young, subducted Indian-MORB-like oceanic lithosphere, which stalled in the transition zone. Such oceanic lithosphere could have been entrained and recycled by the OJP/Manihiki/Hikurangi plume head as it upwelled from the lower mantle. Incorporation of the dense subducted ocean lithosphere could also have served to reduce the buoyancy of the upwelling plume head, such that it did not cause major uplift of the seafloor<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b38">38</xref>. This could explain why the OJP, Manihiki and Hikurangi Plateaus remained largely submarine throughout their history on the seafloor. A piece of this entrained oceanic crust (eclogite) may still be located beneath OJP as proposed in a recent study<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b39">39</xref> to explain the fast shear wave velocity of 4.75 km s<sup>−1</sup> observed beneath OJP. Regardless of the origin of the UDM and HIMU-like components, the composition of the mantle source below OJP (Kroenke/Kwaimbaita with minor UDM) and Manihiki (mainly UDM with some HIMU-like component) was largely different (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="f5">Fig. 5</xref>). In conclusion, our results indicate that melting of incompatible-element ultra-depleted and subsequently re-enriched mantle is possible on a large-scale in intraplate settings during the formation of large igneous provinces, especially under young, thin oceanic lithosphere.</p><p>The presence of boninites in Archaean rock formations has been cited as evidence that subduction, and thus plate tectonics, initiated in the Archaean<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b40">40</xref>. Recently, comparison of rock sequences including boninites from a modern arc system (Izu-Bonin-Mariana) and an Archaean greenstone belt in Canada suggested that subduction of oceanic crust has been operating since the Hadean<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b40">40</xref>. High degrees of alteration, however, are common in Archaean rocks, affecting in particular major and mobile trace elements. The results of our study show that rocks with affinities to boninites in terms of major and trace elements (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="f2">Fig. 2</xref>) can also originate in intraplate settings. Such melts may have been more abundant in earlier Earth history due to a hotter geotherm or enhanced plume-related magmatism. Thus, it is important to distinguish Archaean boninites that formed in subduction versus intraplate settings. The principal difference between intraplate boninite-like and most subduction-related boninites may be whether the Nb-Ta anomaly is positive or negative and if Nb/U normalized to N-MORB is greater or less than one. For example, in the Abitibi greenstone belt of Canada, some low-Ti rocks<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b41">41</xref> have trace element patterns very similar to those of the low-Ti Manihiki tholeiites (<xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="S1">Supplementary Fig. 5</xref>). Thus, these Archaean sequences could possibly be plume-related unlike greenstones from the Nuvvuagittuq supracrustal belt in northern Quebec<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b42">42</xref> or Isua, Greenland<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b43">43</xref>, which have arc-like boninite signatures with low Nb/La<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b40">40</xref><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b42">42</xref>. As a consequence, subduction-related Archaean boninites may not be as abundant as previously thought, placing some questions as to the exact initiation and on the extent of subduction, and thus of large-scale plate tectonics, in the early Earth. Future appraisal of Archaean mafic rocks may be able to exploit this distinction.</p></sec><sec disp-level="1"><title>Methods</title><sec disp-level="2"><title>Sample material</title><p>Analysed samples were dredged during the R/V Sonne 225 expedition at different locations along the flanks of the Danger Island and Suvorov Troughs (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="f1">Fig. 1</xref>).

Beneath OJP, the dominant Kroenke/Kwaimbaita source component upwells and generates the dominant Kroenke/Kwaimbaita basement lavas with flat primitive-mantle-normalized incompatible element patterns. The presumed dominant source component beneath Manihiki is the UDM end member metasomatized by ≤1% HIMU-type melts.
