A mineral that forms under conditions as variable as diagenesis to deep subduction, melt
crystallization to low temperature alteration, and that retains information on time …

Zircon-and bulk-rock Zr-based thermometric parameters have become fundamental to
petrogenetic models of magmatism, from which broader geochronological and tectonic …

We derive a novel method for determining the oxidation state of a magma as zircon
crystallized, with a standard error of±0· 6 log unit ƒO2, using ratios of Ce, U, and Ti in zircon …

Chondrite normalized rare earth element (REE) patterns of zircons generally have enriched
Ce values relative to La and Pr, and depleted Eu values relative to Sm and Gd. High Ce …

Ultrahigh temperature (UHT) metamorphism is the most thermally extreme form of regional
crustal metamorphism, with temperatures exceeding 900° C. UHT crustal metamorphism is …

Quartz and rutile were synthesized from silica-saturated aqueous fluids between 5 and 20
kbar and from 700 to 940° C in a piston-cylinder apparatus to explore the potential pressure …

The partitioning of P, Sc, Ti, Sr, Y, Nb, the rare earth elements (REE), Hf, Ta, Th and U
between zircon and a synthetic andesitic melt was determined as a function of oxygen …

We report the results of monazite/melt partitioning experiments conducted in the piston-
cylinder apparatus at 10–50kbar and 750–1200° C, using a synthetic granite mix with …

X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) is an electronic absorption technique for which the
initial state is a deeply buried core level. The photon energies corresponding to such …

Rare granulitized eclogites exposed in the eastern Himalaya provide insight into conditions
and processes deep within the orogen. Sensitive high-resolution ion microprobe (SHRIMP) …
