[1] A comprehensive geochemical study, including B, Pb, Sr, and Nd isotopes, has been carried out on El Salvador subduction-related lavas. The rocks have arc-type incompatible element distributions with high LILE/HFSE ratios, nearly constant 143 Nd/ 144 Nd (%0.5130), and small differences in 207 Pb/ 204 Pb (15.53-15.57), whereas 87 Sr/ 86 Sr ranges from 0.7035 to 0.7039. Boron isotopic composition varies widely, between À2.7% and +6.3%. The boron isotope signature points to involvement of fluid inputs from (1) a high-d 11 B serpentinite fluid from serpentized mantle wedge dragged beneath the volcanic arc or from the subducting lithosphere and (2) a low-d 11 B fluid from the progressive dehydration of subducted altered basaltic crust and/or sediments. The observed sample variability is explained with a model in which different proportions of serpentinite-derived (10-50%) and slab-derived fluids are added to an enriched-DMM source, triggering its partial melting. We suggest a model in which tectonic erosion, i.e., dragging down of slivers of serpentinized upper plate mantle, was responsible for the occurrence of serpentinite reservoir, 11 B-enriched in the forearc by shallow fluids.
