Forced subduction initiation recorded in the sole and crust of the Semail Ophiolite of Oman
Subduction zones are unique to Earth and fundamental in its evolution, yet we still know little
about the causes and mechanisms of their initiation. Numerical models show that far-field …

REE in skarn systems: A LA-ICP-MS study of garnets from the Crown Jewel gold deposit
Metamorphic and magmatic garnets are known to fractionate REE, with generally HREE-
enriched patterns, and high Lu/Hf and Sm/Nd ratios, making them very useful as …

Garnet: A rock-forming mineral petrochronometer
EF Baxter, MJ Caddick… - Reviews in Mineralogy …, 2017 - pubs.geoscienceworld.org
Garnet could be the ultimate petrochronometer. Not only can you date it directly (with an
accuracy and precision that may surprise some), but it is also a common rock-forming and …
