Short summary
Volcanic activity in the West Eifel region of Germany over the past million years has brought many samples of the Earth's mantle and crust to the surface. The samples from this study are pieces of the deep crust that formed between 264 and 253 million years ago at a depth of ~ 30 km. Samples like these reveal how the Earth's crust has grown and been modified over time.
