“…Our Ce isotope dataset includes two basaltic rock standards (BCR-2 and BHVO-2) and two Ce reference material solutions (AMES and JMC-304) documented in previous publications (Tanaka and Masuda, 1982;Shimizu et al, 1984Shimizu et al, , 1988Shimizu et al, , 1990Shimizu et al, , 1992Shimizu et al, , 1994Masuda et al, 1988;Amakawa et al, 1991;Makishima and Nakamura, 1991;Lee et al, 2001;Tanimizu and Tanaka, 2002;Hayashi et al, 2004;Tanimizu et al, 2004;Tazoe et al, 2007;Willbold, 2007). In a second part, we focus on the Lesser Antilles arc formed by the subduction of the Atlantic ocean lithosphere beneath the Caribbean plate for which a comprehensive set of geochemical data has already been published on both the arc lavas and the sediments present in front of the subduction zone (Carpentier et al, 2008(Carpentier et al, , 2009Labanieh et al, 2010Labanieh et al, , 2012.…”
