Variations of Li and Mg isotope ratios in bulk chondrites and mantle xenoliths
PAEP von Strandmann, T Elliott, HR Marschall… - … et Cosmochimica Acta, 2011 - Elsevier
We present whole rock Li and Mg isotope analyses of 33 ultramafic xenoliths from the
terrestrial mantle, which we compare with analyses of 30 (mostly chondritic) meteorites. The …

Iron, zinc, magnesium and uranium isotopic fractionation during continental crust differentiation: The tale from migmatites, granitoids, and pegmatites
The causes of some stable isotopic variations in felsic rocks are not well understood. In
