TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that high Hf (low Zr/Hf) in zircon zones demonstrates growth from fractionated melt, and Ti provides an estimate of temperature of crystallization (T TiZ) for individual zircons.

TL;DR: In this article, a relatively simple crustal structure for the Pamirs and Tibet has been proposed, which suggests that the metamorphic rocks in these domes are equivalent to the Karakul-Mazar-Songpan-Garze system.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a tightly controlled and comprehensive set of analytical data for the 250-Ma Siberian flood basalt province near Noril'sk and conclude that the most significant control on the geochemical and isotopic compositions of erupted lavas was processing of mantle-derived magma in crustal reservoirs during periodic replenishment, periodic tapping, continuous crystal fractionation and wallrock assimilation.

TL;DR: Arndt et al. as discussed by the authors showed that the low water contents of most flood basalts argue against proposals that hydrous lithosphere was the source, and they suggested that trace-element and isotopic compositions are buffered, and that the erupted basalts represent steady-state liquids tapped from these magma chambers.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors discuss an example where high-T, post-emplacement fluids have altered the entire margin of the Mt. Stuart batholith of Washington, and two feldspar and iron-titanium oxide thermometry are used for thermobarometric analysis.
