Cosmogenic helium and neon in 11 Myr old ultramafic xenoliths: Consequences for mantle signatures in old samples

The helium and neon isotopic compositions of olivines coming from a 11 Myr old xenolith sampled at Mt. Hampton (West Antarctica) were analyzed by crushing. The helium isotopic ratio varies between 1340 and 6300 (R/Ra between 115 and 539) with 4He content around 3–8 10−10 ccSTP/g, confirming that cos...
