The apatite-group minerals of the general formula, M10 (ZO4) 6X2 (M= Ca, Sr, Pb, Na…, Z=
P, As, Si, V…, and X= F, OH, Cl…), are remarkably tolerant to structural distortion and …

This review aims at considering the use of REEs to trace pedogenetic processes, in order to
quantify the respective contribution of the successive processes on pedogenesis. We first …

Apatites from the major types of mainly magmatic-hydrothermal mineral deposits (30
localities, mostly in British Columbia, Canada) together with apatites from carbonatites (29 …

Chondrite normalized rare earth element (REE) patterns of zircons generally have enriched
Ce values relative to La and Pr, and depleted Eu values relative to Sm and Gd. High Ce …

The partitioning of 25 trace elements between high-silica rhyolitic glass and unzoned
phenocrysts of potassic and sodic sanidine, biotite, augite, ferrohedenbergite, hypersthene …

The rare earth elements, lanthanum to lutetium (atomic numbers 57—71), are members of
Group IIIA in the periodic table (Fig. 1.1) and all have very similar chemical and physical …

We present new experimental apatite/melt trace element partition coefficients for a large
number of trace elements (Cs, Rb, Ba, La, Ce, Pr, Sm, Gd, Lu, Y, Sr, Zr, Hf, Nb, Ta, U, Pb …

Major, minor, and trace element abundances in apatites from various I-and S-type (igneous
and sedimentary) granites of the Lachlan Fold Belt have been determined using electron …

Abstract Concentration ratios of Hf, Zr, and REE between zircon, apatite, and liquid were
determined for three igneous compositions: two andesites and a diorite. The concentration …

In the 16 years since the Sedona Conference on the behaviour of trace elements in silicate
systems, numerous studies providing new data have filled many of the gaps in knowledge of …
