The first part of this study deals with the distribution of Nb and Ta at microscopic scale in mantle rocks. Their concentration was measured by EPMA in titanium-oxides to constrain the role of these microphases in the Nb-Ta fractionation. The second part adresses the distribution of Nb and Ta at the scale of whole Earth. ICP-MS analyses were performed in representative samples to constrain the variations of Nb/Ta, Nb/Th and Ta/La ratios in the main geochemical reservoirs. These data indicate that most of the Silicate Earth is characterized by sub-chondritic Nb/Ta ratios ( Our data do not support the idea that the subchondritic Nb/Ta ratio of the Silicate Earth would be balanced by a super-chondritic, subduction-related material, recycled an...
