The extent to which primordial mantle domains have survived billions of years of convective mixing is a fundamental question in mantle dynamics and geochemistry. The observation that around half of Earth’s40Ar is missing from the atmosphere has been used to argue for a largely primordial, convectively isolated lower mantle. This hypothesis is apparently supported by lower40Ar/36Ar ratios in the mantle source of ocean-island basalts compared with mid-ocean-ridge basalts. However, strongly layered convection is contradicted by seismic tomographic observations and geodynamic constraints. Using joint geodynamic–geochemical modelling of mantle convection, we show that high40Ar concentrations associated with K-rich subducted oceanic crust plus unmelted material dispersed throughout the mantle can fully account for Earth’s40Ar budget. This solution to the missing Ar paradox requires neither a substantial reduction in Earth’s assumed K concentration nor large isolated domains in the mantle. We additionally show that subducted atmosphere-derived Ar has little effect on the mantle40Ar budget but can substantially reduce mantle40Ar/36Ar ratios. Unlike He and Ne isotope systems, whose variations reflect primarily incorporation of primordial material, mantle40Ar/36Ar ratios may instead result from subduction of atmosphere-derived Ar into the deep mantle.
