Highly variable molybdenum (Mo) isotope compositions are common in mafic arc magmas above oceanic subduction zones, but Mo isotopes of mafic magmas related to continental deep subduction have not yet been documented. Here, we report for the first time the Mo isotope composition of mafic igneous rock...
