Hf–Fe isotopes identify a refractory mantle component in Archean Pilbara komatiites.
This mantle component is termed the Early Refractory Reservoir (ERR).
Melting in Hadean mantle plume created a high Lu/Hf and light Fe isotope reservoir.
The ERR appears complementary in Hf isotopes to Hadean Narryer terrane zircons.
Parts of the ERR cycled via cold drips and hot plumes in the Hadean mantle.
