Shear zones are one of the most conspicuous structures in orogenic and rifting settings,
accommodating high strain, rock displacement and influencing magma emplacement and …

Due to developments in reaction cell technologies, it is now possible to collect large
87Rb/86Sr and 87Sr/86Sr data sets using LA‐ICP‐MS/MS. Until now, LA‐ICP‐MS/MS Rb …

Reference materials (RMs) with well‐characterised composition are necessary for reliable
quantification and quality control of isotopic analyses of geological samples. For in situ Rb …

Mica exhibits a relatively high Rb/Sr ratio and possesses a closure temperature for the Rb-Sr
isotope system that is higher than the ore-forming temperature range of low-to medium …

Argyle is the world's largest source of natural diamonds, yet one of only a few economic
deposits hosted in a Paleoproterozoic orogen. The geodynamic triggers responsible for its …

Abstract In-situ Rb-Sr dating of mica by laser ablation ICP-MS/MS has recently emerged as a
new tool to date a range of geological processes including magmatic, metamorphic and …

We document the utility for in situ Rb–Sr dating of a one-of-a-kind tribrid mass
spectrometer,'Proteus', coupled to a UV laser ablation system. Proteus combines …

High-pressure/low-temperature rocks from two well-studied outcrops of the Cycladic
Blueschist Unit on Syros are used to demonstrate the advantages of volume-coupled 87 …

Abstract The Sichuan-Yunnan-Guizhou (SYG) zinc-lead triangle, located in southwestern
China, is an important producer of zinc, lead, silver, and critical raw metals such as …

We present Rb and Sr mass fraction and 87Sr/86Sr isotope ratio measurement results for
four reference materials (RMs) obtained from the Service d'Analyse des Roches et des …
