| Abstract | Constraining the processes associated with the formation of new (juvenile) continental crust from mantle-derived (basaltic) sources is key to understanding the origin and evolution of Earth's landmasses. Here we present high-precision measurements of stable isotopes of potassium (K) from Earth's most voluminous plagiogranites, exposed near El-Shadli in the Eastern Desert of Egypt. These plagiogranites exhibit a wide range of 641K values (-0.31%0 +/- 0.06%0 to 0.36%0 +/- 0.05%0; 2 SE, standard error) that are significantly higher (isotopically heavier) than mantle values (-0.42%0 +/- 0.08%0). Isotopic (87Sr/86Sr and 143Nd/144Nd) and trace element data indicate that the large variation in 641K was inherited from the basaltic source rocks of the El-Shadli plagiogranites, consistent with an origin through partial melting of hydrothermally-altered mid-to-lower oceanic crust. These data demonstrate that K isotopes have the potential to better constrain the source of granitoid rocks and thus the secular evolution of the continental crust.
