This contribution provides an insight into the use of mineral chemistry in provenance
research, and demonstrates how studies, by using microbeam techniques on several detrital …

Type and amount of sediment generation are intimately connected to tectonic and climatic
processes active at the earth's surface today as well as throughout the geologic past. Detrital …

Tourmaline is the most important borosilicate mineral because of its ubiquity and the
diversity of petrologic information that it can yield. In metamorphic rocks tourmaline can …

Tourmaline has long been recognized as an important gangue mineral in metallic and
nonmetallic ore deposits (eg Lindgren, 1933; Bateman, 1950; Routhier, 1963; Smirnov …

Tourmaline is nature's perfect forensic mineral. From a single grain, the full geological past
of its host rock can be reconstructed, including the pressure–temperature path it has taken …

The detrital components of Cretaceous sedimentary rocks in the Northern Calcareous Alps
reflect the early Alpine geodynamic evolution of the Austroalpine microplate. Two …

A review of the petrologic literature (eg Watanabe, 1975; Seyfried et al., 1984; Leeman et al.,
1994; see also Leeman and Sisson, this volume) shows that subductionrelated intermediate …

Tourmaline-rich rocks are widespread minor lithologies within the Early Proterozoic
Willyama Supergroup in the Broken Hill district, Australia. Tourmaline concentrations occur …

Tourmaline developed under low-temperature conditions (<~ 300° C) typically has
distinctive morphological and chemical characteristics that reveal significant information …

Tourmaline studies have expanded in breadth and greatly increased in number since 1977,
when micro-analytical and crystallographic/spectroscopic instrumentation became widely …
