Classification of altered volcanic island arc rocks using immobile trace elements: development of the Th–Co discrimination diagram
Many diagrams conventionally used to classify igneous rocks utilize mobile elements, which
commonly renders them unreliable for classifying rocks from the geological record. The K2O …
