ABSTRACT Monazite (Ln3+PO4) and related solid solutions are a well-known source of rare
earth elements on earth. They may also accommodate large amounts of thorium and …

In this study a Th-bearing monazite from a Brazil beach sand, a low Th monazite from a
Malawi carbonatite, and a xenotime from a pegmatite in northern Pakistan were …

Detrital heavy minerals have helped address geologically complex issues such as the
nature and origin of the early terrestrial crust, the growth and evolution of the continental …

The Kozara Mountains of northern Bosnia and Hercegovina form part of the internal
Dinarides and host two tectonically juxtaposed ophiolitic successions of different age. The …

Radiogenic isotopes are widely used to investigate crustal evolutionary processes, however
recent claims of Nd and Sr isotope disequilibrium during anatexis question the reliability of …

Monazite is a common accessory mineral in various metamorphic and magmatic rocks, and
is widely used for U–Pb geochronology. However, linking monazite U–Pb ages with the PT …
