Depleted D-MORB basalts   143Nd/144Nd 0.51311             Isotopic compositions of Depleted Mantle (DM) according to Neodymium 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
