Titanite (CaTiSiO5) is a common mineral in calc-silicates, metamorphosed igneous rocks,
and calc-alkaline plutons. The mineral was first named by Martin Klaproth in 1795 for its high …

Interpreting the wealth of new data derived from the diverse suite of modern single-grain
provenance approaches available to a sedimentologist requires a thorough understanding …

There is no consensus on the processes responsible for near-coeval formation of Archaean
continental crust (dominantly tonalite–trondhjemite–granodiorite: TTG), greenstone belts …

Titanite (sphene) has great potential as a petrogenetic indicator and mineral
geochronometer, as it can host high concentrations of a range of trace elements and it …

Abstract Despite Nb and Ta being considered as 'geochemical twins', most Ta mineral
deposits are associated with muscovite-bearing peraluminous granites and related …

Several Late Yanshanian syenitic and gabbroic rocks from the coastal area of southeastern
(SE) China have been studied to determine zircon U–Pb ages and Hf isotopic compositions …

Type and amount of sediment generation are intimately connected to tectonic and climatic
processes active at the earth's surface today as well as throughout the geologic past. Detrital …

Isobaric and isothermal experiments were performed to investigate the effect of melt
composition on the partitioning of trace elements between titanite (CaTiSiO5) and a range of …

Partition coefficients between rutile and silicate melts were determined experimentally for Nb
and Ta with melt compositions varying from rhyolite to basalt. Experimental conditions were …

Building super-eruptive magma reservoirs in the cold, upper parts of Earth's crust requires a
significant influx of magma over an extended period, sufficient to allow the magma to …
