Monazite is a light rare earth element (LREE)-bearing phosphate mineral that is present in a
wide variety of rock types, has an extremely variable composition reflecting host rock …

In this chapter, an overview of the findings to date from laboratory measurements of diffusion
of cations in the accessory mineral phases zircon, monazite, apatite, titanite (sphene) and …

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

We report measurements of Pb diffusion in both synthetic (CePO4) and natural monazites
run under dry, 1-atm conditions. Powdered mixtures of prereacted CePO4 and PbZrO3 were …

The closure of isotopic chronometers to loss or exchange of radiogenic daughters is best
analysed in terms of phenomena that induce recrystallization, ie fluid circulation and strain …

Abstract Although REE (lanthanides+ Sc+ Y) mineralization in alkaline silicate systems is
commonly accompanied with Zr mineralization worldwide, our understanding of the …

Abraded fragments (200–400 μm) of a large, chemically homogeneous, and non-metamict
Brazilian monazite crystal, characterised by a concordant U–Pb ages of 474±1 Ma …

Hydrothermal monazite is one of the most reliable geochronometers for U-Pb dating of
epigenetic or hydrothermal ore deposits because its blocking temperature, at ca. 700° C, is …

Three lines of evidence from schists of the Great Smoky Mountains, NC, indicate that
isogradic monazite growth occurred at the staurolite-in isograd at∼ 600° C:(1) Monazite is …

The Hengshan–Wutaishan area forms part of the Trans-North-China Belt developed in
response to the final amalgamation of the North China Craton. The Hengshan–Wutaishan …
