When two solutes crystallize simultaneously from an aqueous phase and have similar
crystal structures, a solid solution is likely to form. Indeed, although often disregarded, solid …

In this study, we present new mineral chemical data on the garnet from the Hongshan Cu-
Mo deposit, one of the largest skarn deposits in the Sanjiang Tethyan tectonic domain, in …

Crystals characterized by oscillatory zoning show evidence for a quasi-cyclic alternation in
the chemical composition of discrete gtowth-shells from tens of nanometers to tens of …

The experimental distribution coefficients, K′ d, for trace elements in carbonate minerals
show a systematic pattern of behavior that differs from that expected if the distribution were …

Morphological development of calcite crystals is related to supersaturation conditions during
growth. Crystallization of calcium carbonate (calcite and aragonite) as well as Mg-calcite …

Scheelite is a widespread accessory mineral in hydrothermal gold deposits, and its rare
earth element (REE) patterns and Nd and Sr isotopic compositions can be used to constrain …

The distribution of trace elements in zircon is typically heterogeneous, a result of processes
operating during crystal growth. The spatial distribution and abundances of minor and trace …

The chemical composition and mineralogy of coatings on carbonate minerals from mine
tailings have been studied using aqueous geochemical methods, Time-of-Flight Laser …

Crystals of (Ba, Sr) CO3, Ba (SO4, CrO4),(Ba, Sr) SO4, and (Cd, Ca) CO3 solid solutions
were obtained by counterdiffusion of reactants through a column of porous silica hydrogel …

Hydrocarbon-bearing zoned calcite cements occur widely in Jurassic–Cretaceous fault-zone
cores and sandstone outcrops of the northwestern Junggar Basin (northwest China) …
