Comparison of the expected concentrations of primordial nebular gas dissolved in the mantle with the measured deep mantle concentrations measured by B. Marty (2012) in plume samples. A dotted one-to-one line centered on ​​​​​​22Ne is shown to illustrate how the 36Ar, 84Kr, and 130Xe reservoirs cannot be purely explained by the capture of primordial volatiles as isotopic measurements argue is the case for Ne (C. D. Williams & S. Mukhopadhyay 2019) and most likely He (see Section 5.1).
