Pegmatites are texturally complex igneous rocks marked by some combination of coarse but
variable crystal size, mineralogical zonation, prominent anisotropy of crystal orientations …

Magma reservoirs play a key role in controlling numerous processes in planetary evolution,
including igneous differentiation and degassing, crustal construction, and volcanism. For …

We derive a novel method for determining the oxidation state of a magma as zircon
crystallized, with a standard error of±0· 6 log unit ƒO2, using ratios of Ce, U, and Ti in 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 …

Silicic magma systems are of great scientific interest and societal importance owing to their
role in the evolution of the crust and the hazards posed by volcanic eruptions. MELTS is a …

Zircon composition has great potential as a pathfinder for porphyry Cu±Mo±Au systems. The
present study used a large integrated laser ablation-inductively coupled plasma-mass …

An updated and expanded data set that consists of 214 plagioclase-liquid equilibrium pairs
from 40 experimental studies in the literature is used to recalibrate the thermodynamic …

Abstract High silica (> 70 wt.% SiO 2) granites (HSGs) are important carriers of highly
incompatible elements, thus, understanding their origin is relevant to understanding how the …

Consideration of the models that have been applied to explain the chemical variations within
granitic rock suites shows that most are inadequate to account for the main variations. This …

Magmatic outgassing of volatiles from Earth's interior probably played a critical part in
determining the composition of the earliest atmosphere, more than 4,000 million years (Myr) …
