Abstract LA-ICP-MS and LA-MC-ICP-MS have been the techniques of choice for achieving
accurate and precise element content and isotopic ratio, the state-of-the-art technique …

The formation of collisional orogens is a prominent feature in convergent plate margins. It is
generally a complex process involving multistage tectonism of compression and extension …

Crustal recycling at convergent plate boundaries is essential to mantle heterogeneity.
However, crustal signatures in the mantle source of basaltic rocks above subduction zones …

Lunar soil is a fine mixture of local rocks and exotic components. The bulk-rock chemical
composition of the newly returned Chang'E-5 (CE-5) lunar soil was studied to understand its …

An early extensive Neoproterozoic (ca. 900 Ma) continental magmatic arc system covering
hundreds of kilometers has been reported to occur in the South Beishan Orogenic Belt …

Abstract LA-ICP-MS zircon U–Pb ages and geochemical data are presented for the
Mesozoic volcanic rocks in northeast China, with the aim of determining the tectonic settings …

The effect of three different cone combinations on the performance of laser ablation MC-ICP-
MS (Neptune plus) for the in situ Hf isotope analysis of zircon were investigated. The signal …

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 …

The Lhasa Terrane in southern Tibet has long been accepted as the last geological block
accreted to Eurasia before its collision with the northward drifting Indian continent in the …

Abstract Mesozoic (Triassic–Cretaceous) magmatic rocks and structural deformation are
widely distributed in the North China Craton (NCC) and are crucial to understanding the …
