Continental Crust   206Pb/204Pb       18.04 18.35     Assuming 7 ppm Pb in lower crust and 15-20 ppm Pb in upper crust. Pb isotopic compositions for upper crust are 206Pb/204Pb = 18.76 and 207Pb/204Pb = 15.66 from Newsom et al. (1986) and the lower crust from models 1-4 in this Table. Rudnick & Goldstein 1990
