Abstract Large-volume caldera-forming eruptions of silicic magmas are an important feature continental volcanism. The timescales and mechanisms assembly the magma reservoirs that feed such as well durations physical conditions upper-crustal storage remain highly debated topics in volcanology. Here we explore a comprehensive data set isotopic (O, Hf) chemical proxies precisely U-Pb dated zircon crystals from all Yellowstone supervolcano. Analysed zircons record rapid multiple by repeated...

Abstract Economically important porphyry Cu-Mo deposits (PCDs) are generally hosted by upper-crustal plutons of variable chemical compositions related to distinct geodynamic settings. The absolute timing and duration pluton assembly PCD formation critical understanding the genetic relationship between these interrelated processes. Here, we present new comprehensive zircon U-Pb molybdenite Re-Os ages that tightly constrain age mineralization in one largest ore-bearing central Tethyan...

The analytical study of infra red femtosecond laser induced particles has been performed using Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) and Low Pressure Impaction (ELPI). Various natural synthetic matrices have tested: monazite (phosphate), zircon (silicate), NIST610 (glass), spinel (oxide), quartz (silicate structure), silicon (semiconductor) Nordic gold (metallic alloy). Three types are systematically observed: very rare large round spherical (dp ≈ 1 μm) whose composition is close to the...

The need for femtosecond laser ablation (fs-LA) systems coupled to MC-ICP-MS accurately perform in situ stable isotope analyses remains an open question, because of the lack knowledge concerning ablation-related isotopic fractionation this regime. We report first iron analysis size-resolved, laser-induced particles natural magnetite, siderite, pyrrhotite, and pyrite, collected through cascade impaction, followed by solution nebulization MC-ICP-MS, as well imaging using electron microscopy....

The influence of ablation cell geometry (Frames single‐ and HelEx two‐volume cells) laser wavelength (198 266 nm) on aerosols produced by femtosecond (fs‐ LA ) were evaluated. Morphologies, iron mass distribution ( IMD 56 Fe/ 54 Fe ratios particles generated from magnetite, pyrite, haematite siderite studied. following two morphologies identified: spherules (10–200 agglomerates (5–10 nm). Similarity in rate at 198 nm indicates similar mechanisms. increased with aerodynamic particle size as a...

Abstract Garnet–clinopyroxene ultra‐high‐pressure (UHP) rocks from the northern Bohemian Massif contain zircon with micro‐diamond inclusions. Trace element concentrations, oxygen and hafnium isotopic composition U–Pb age of distinct textural domains in characterize their growth conditions temporal evolution. Diamond‐bearing mantle relicts oscillatory zoning have uniform Th/U ratios (~0.1–0.2), high‐Ti contents (110–190 ppm, corresponding to temperatures at least 1100 °C), some (two 17...

Abstract Accurate and precise dating of individual volcanogenic beds that spread across multiple sedimentary successions is a powerful tool to untangle stratigraphic age contradictions, since these horizons are deposited synchronously. In this study, we show combining apatite chemistry with zircon age, Th/U ratio, Hf isotope composition leads reliable lateral correlation volcanic sections representing disparate biological, chemical, physical paleoenvironments. We correlate two six straddling...

We have developed a new experimental setup based on optical Kerr gating in order to isolate either the transmitted or scattered light going through an optically thick medium. This selectivity can be obtained by finely tuning focusing of different laser beams setup. A Monte Carlo simulation scheme generates accurate model scattering processes taking into account time flight, geometry and polarization. show that our is capable analyzing with densities up OD = 9.7, beyond 347 poly-disperse...
