Large igneous provinces (LIPs) have recently been suggested to originate at the edges of low-velocity zones on core mantle boundary (Plume Generation Zones). If true, LIPs can potentially be used constrain paleolongitude in plate tectonic reconstructions. To validate hypothesis, it is essential study which constrained by other methods, such as hotspot reference frames. An ideal candidate this end early Cenozoic North Atlantic Igneous Province (NAIP). Despite being largest volcanic unit...
Abstract We investigate the trace element and U‐Pb systematics of apatite 19 samples metapelites calcareous from two progressive metamorphic sequences Central Alps to further understanding behavior stability during metamorphism. data were acquired mineral separates by LA‐Q‐ICP‐MS. The explored using chondrite‐ whole‐rock normalized multielement plots principal component analysis biplots. Apatite rare earth (REE) U contents increase with increasing grade due competing growth/dissolution...
Olivine offers huge, largely untapped, potential for improving our understanding of magmatic and metasomatic processes. In particular, a wealth information is contained in rare earth element ( REE ) mass fractions, which are well studied other minerals. However, data olivine scarce, reflecting the difficulty associated with determining fractions low ng g −1 range controlling effects LREE contamination. We report an analytical procedure measuring s using laser ablation quadrupole‐ ICP ‐ MS...

Abstract The minor and trace element composition of minerals provides critical insights into a variety geological processes. Multi-element mapping by laser ablation-inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) is an important technique applied for this purpose although the method rapidly advancing, there remains fundamental compromise between spatial resolution, detection limit, experiment duration when using sequential mass analyzers. To address limitation limited analyte...
