The uranium and thorium decay series (hereafter “U-series”) include the nuclides of ten
elements, all of which can be found at trace levels in rocks and minerals. The relatively short …

The end-Triassic extinction is characterized by major losses in both terrestrial and marine
diversity, setting the stage for dinosaurs to dominate Earth for the next 136 million years …

Abstract The Skouries Au-Cu porphyry deposit is located in northern Greece and hosted by
quartz monzonites and monzogranites of early Miocene age (∼ 20 Myr). The host rocks …

The titanium concentrations of 484 zircons with U-Pb ages of∼ 1 Ma to 4.4 Ga were
measured by ion microprobe. Samples come from 45 different igneous rocks (365 zircons) …

The geological implications of granitoid magmas with high Sr/Y and La/Yb are debated
because these signatures can be produced by multiple processes. This study presents …

Trace element partition coefficients between anorthitic plagioclase and basaltic melts (D)
have been determined experimentally at 0.6 GPa and 1350–1400° C in a lunar high-Ti …

Understanding magmatic processes such as crystallization and melting recorded in natural
samples requires calibration of mineral–melt trace element partition coefficients (D) and their …

Plagioclase-melt partition coefficients (D) for 34 trace elements at natural concentration
levels were determined experimentally in a natural MORB composition at atmospheric …

Granitic pegmatites are considered significant host rocks for the rare metal deposits.
However, the enrichment mechanisms for the rare metal elements (eg, Li, Be, Nb and Ta) …

Compilation and interpretation of experimental and natural Nernst partition coefficient
(plagioclase/meltD) data show that, with a few exceptions, increases in plagioclase/meltD …
