This paper reports the results from a second characterisation of 91500 zircon, including data electron probe microanalysis, laser ablation inductively coupled plasma‐mass spectrometry (LA‐ICP‐MS), secondary ion mass (SIMS) and fluorination analyses. The focus this initiative was to establish suitability large single zircon crystal for calibrating in situ analyses rare earth elements oxygen isotopes, as well provide working values key geochemical systems. In addition extensive testing...

We present new analytical data of major and trace elements for the geological MPI‐DING glasses KL2‐G, ML3B‐G, StHs6/80‐G, GOR128‐G, GOR132‐G, BM90/21‐G, T1‐G, ATHO‐G. Different methods were used to obtain a large spectrum element data, in particular, EPMA, SIMS, LA‐ICPMS, isotope dilution by TIMS ICPMS. Altogether, more than 60 qualified geochemical laboratories worldwide contributed analyses, allowing us reference information values their uncertainties (at 95% confidence level) up 74...

Geophysical data indicate that the lithosphere beneath North China Craton (NCC) is ∼80 km thick with high heat flow within craton. This somewhat in disagreement presence of Archaean crustal rocks and kimberlite-hosted xenoliths point to existence garnet–diamond-facies mantle craton, as recently Ordovician. Basalt-hosted entrained during Cenozoic may provide a clue Phanerozoic changes. Of particular note predominance spinel-facies peridotites (75–80 km) paucity garnet-facies peridotites. The...

Almandine garnet-bearing andesites and dacites occur frequently in the Neogene calc-alkaline volcanic series of northern Pannonian Basin (Hungary Slovakia). They were erupted during early stage volcanism along major tectonic lineaments. On basis petrographic geochemical characteristics, garnets from these rock types are classified into (1) primary phases, (2) composite minerals containing xenocrystic cores magmatic overgrowths (3) derived metamorphic crustal xenoliths. Coexisting phenocrysts...

Although the composition of chlorite group minerals represents a known proxy for conditions in various geological environments, few comparative studies chlorites from different environments have been carried out. In this study, we compare hydrothermal system with those formed under low-grade metamorphic conditions. Both sets samples were collected Pilbara Craton, Western Australia. Near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy was used to determine if spectral differences record compositional between two...

Harzburgites and plagioclase‐peridotites from the Othris Peridotite Massif in Central Greece preserve microstructural petrological evidence for interaction with a melt which became saturated orthopyroxene while migrating by km‐scale diffuse porous flow through thermal boundary layer (TBL) base of lithosphere. The precipitated orthopyroxene, eventually also plagioclase clinopyroxene within peridotites. Major trace element geochemistry suggests that was depleted melt, i.e., fraction melting...

The geodynamic evolution of the South Armenian Block (SAB) within Tethyan realm during Palaeozoic to present-day is poorly constrained. Much SAB covered by Cenozoic sediments so that relationships between and neighbouring terranes Central Iran, Pontides Taurides are unclear. Here we present new geochronological, palaeomagnetic, geochemical constraints shed light on Gondwanan Cimmerian provenance SAB, timing its rifting, since Permian.
