Depleted D-MORB basalts   87Sr/86Sr 0.7026             Isotopic compositions of Depleted Mantle (DM) according to Strontium isotopes in the 'Average' present day MORB.  These average MORB compositions are calculated using a more restrictive set of filters in order to assure that MORB representing low degree melts or melts which have experienced large amounts of fractional crystallization do not affect the average.  Though degree of melting or fractional crystallization do not effect the average isotopic composition, for incompatible trace element ratios to reflect source compositions only high degree melts should be used.  These will be known as 'D-MORB' for Depleted Mid-Ocean Ridge Basalts.  It is also noted that the values of the 'Average' and 'Extreme' D-MORB are very similar. Salters & Stracke 2004
Depleted D-MORB basalts   Sr/Nd 13.74             Constant' ratios in MORB as taken from the D-MORB (Depleted MORB) compilation as explained in Salters and Stracke 2003.  This compliation of 232 ratio values represent one method of removing low degree melts from MORB data.  All values have gone thru a series of tests and must meet certain criteria to be added to the D-MORB compilation.  This in turn leads to better estimates of values for the Depleted Mantle.

Extreme Depleted D-MORB basalts   87Sr/86Sr 0.702             Isotopic compositions of Depleted Mantle (DM) according to Strontium isotopes in the 'Extreme' present day MORB.  'Extreme' merely refers to the fact that these isotopic compositions are from the most depleted end of the MORB field. These average MORB compositions are calculated using a more restrictive set of filters in order to assure that MORB representing low degree melts or melts which have experienced large amounts of fractional crystallization do not affect the average.  Though degree of melting or fractional crystallization do not effect the average isotopic composition, for incompatible trace element ratios to reflect source compositions only high degree melts should be used.  These will be known as 'D-MORB' for Depleted Mid-Ocean Ridge Basalts.  It is also noted that the values of the 'Average' and 'Extreme' D-MORB are very similar. Salters & Stracke 2004
Fresh Mid-Ocean Ridge Basalts   87Sr/86Sr 0.7027             Isotopic compositions of Depleted Mantle (DM) according to Strontium isotopic values from the 'All MORB' data compilation.  To achieve an average isotopic composition of the Depleted Mantle the PetDB database was utilized. All eruptive products from mid-ocean spreading centers were compiled and filtered to include only samples that were erupted in water depths in excess of 2000 m.  All samples that contained more than 55 wt.% SiO2 were excluded as well. Samples with non-smooth REE patterns were excluded wherever applicable.  With these minimal steps of filtering, this ensures that at least part of the plume influenced basalts are excluded.    Salters & Stracke 2004
Fresh Mid-Ocean Ridge Basalts   Sr/Nd 11.88             Constant' ratios in MORB as taken from the 'All MORB' data set according to Salters and Stracke 2003.  The 'All MORB' data set is a compilation of 639 sample ratios to represent the MORB composition.  In using these values and applying a simple mathematical process order to remove the outliers, which are found by calculating the upper and lower quartile range, then applying the outlier criterion (explained in Salters and Stracke 2003 pg.7).  In addition to this method all the samples with La > 5 ppm were rejected.  This, much like with the tests and criteria of the D-MORB values, is a method of removing low degree melts from the MORB data in order to come closer to a value for Depleted Mantle.  Salters & Stracke 2004
