| We investigate in details helium isotope data reported in Mougel et al. (2014) for 14 basaltic samples collected on the East Pacific Rise by submersible (15 degrees 4N) where the ridge interacts with the Mathematician seamounts. Samples locations are separated by only few hundred meters across a 15km along-axis profile. The data reveal a strong geochemical variability that has never been observed at such high spatial resolution for helium isotope compositions. Moreover, they reveal an unusually high He-4/He-3 mantle component also characterized by unradiogenic lead, atypical in oceanic basalts. He-Pb systematics suggests a mixture between a nonradiogenic lead and radiogenic helium pyroxenitic component, recycled from the deep continental lithosphere and... |

| In this paper, we re-investigate the isotopic composition of hydrogen in MORB and the possible effects of contamination on delta D and water content. A suite of 40 N-MORB from the Pacific-Antarctic ridge, far from any hotspot, was analyzed for chlorine content by electron microprobe and for water content and delta D with silica tubes. Cl concentrations (from 29 to 2400 ppm) indicate widespread contamination, more intense with faster spreading rates, while water contents (from 840 to 7800 ppm) are mainly controlled by igneous processes. delta D values range from -76 to -48 parts per thousand, with an average value of -61 parts per thousand. The lack of correlation between Cl content and either H2O/Ce or SD indicate that contamination has a negligible effect... |

| The first isotopic data and concentrations of helium are reported for the Pacific-Antarctic ridge between 52.5 degrees S and 41.5 degrees S. The He-4/He-3 ratio is extremely homogeneous over more than 1200 km, with a mean ratio of 99,275 (R/Ra = 7.29) and a standard deviation of 2719 (0.19), which is the lowest dispersion observed for the global mid oceanic ridge system. Moreover, the Menard T. F. is a frontier between two mantles with slightly different helium isotopic ratios (96,595 +/- 1520 and 100,347 +/- 2330). No difference in the helium concentration between the two ridge segments defined by the Menard T. F. can be observed, as well as no significant difference in the U and Th contents suggesting that the difference in helium isotopic ratio is old... |
