Abstract: Newly determined ratios and abundances of sulphur, selenium and tellurium in mantle peridotites are consistent with the view that a ‘late veneer’ of slightly volatile-depleted, carbonaceous-chondrite-like material supplied between 20 and 100 per cent of the silicate Earth’s highly volatile elements, such as hydrogen and carbon.
