Apatite's ubiquity in crystalline rocks, variable trace element contents (particularly with
regard to the REE, actinides and Sr), and amenability to various dating techniques based on …

A mineral that forms under conditions as variable as diagenesis to deep subduction, melt
crystallization to low temperature alteration, and that retains information on time …

Over 5300 recent SHRIMP-RG analyses of trace elements (TE) in igneous zircon have been
compiled and classified based on their original tectono-magmatic setting to empirically …

A comprehensive database of zircon composition in West Australian magmatic rocks reveals
negative correlations between both U and Th zircon/whole rock ratio and the zircon …

Chondrite normalized rare earth element (REE) patterns of zircons generally have enriched
Ce values relative to La and Pr, and depleted Eu values relative to Sm and Gd. High Ce …

We present the first finding of continental crust-derived Precambrian zircons in garnet/spinel
pyroxenite veins within mantle xenoliths carried by the Neogene Hannuoba basalt in the …

A protocol was established for simultaneous measurements of zircon U-Pb ages and trace
elements by LA-ICP-MS at spot sizes of 16–32 μm. This was accomplished by introducing …

Antibiotic-resistant pathogens pose a significant threat to human health. Several dispersal
mechanisms have been described, but transport of both microbes and antibiotic resistance …

Zircon is the main mineral in the majority of igneous and metamorphic rocks with Zr as an
essential structural constituent. It is a host for significant fractions of the whole-rock …

Laser-ablation split-stream (LASS) analysis—high-speed, high spatial-resolution,
simultaneous isotopic and elemental analysis—enables petrochronology at a new level …
