Rutile/melt partition coefficients for trace elements and an assessment of the influence of rutile on the trace element characteristics of subduction zone magmas
TL;DR: In this paper, the experimental partitioning of an extensive array of trace elements between rutile/melt pairs is presented which enables the effect of rutiles during melting in subduction zones to be directly assessed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tracking the budget of Nb and Ta in the continental crust
TL;DR: In this paper, high precision trace element data are reported for representative samples of the upper continental crust: 11 loess samples and 22 shale samples (PAAS) previously used by Taylor and McLennan to define the rare earth element (REE) content of the crust and mantle.
Journal ArticleDOI
Rutile-bearing refractory eclogites: missing link between continents and depleted mantle
TL;DR: Trace element compositions of minerals in xenolithic eclogites derived from cratonic lithospheric mantle show that rutile dominates the budget of Nb and Ta in the eClogites and imparts a superchondritic Nb/Ta, N b/La, and Ti/Zr to the whole rocks.
Journal ArticleDOI
Geochemistry of xenolithic eclogites from West Africa, Part I: A link between low MgO eclogites and Archean crust formation
Matthias Barth,Roberta L. Rudnick,Ingo Horn,William F. McDonough,Michael J. Spicuzza,John W. Valley,Stephen E. Haggerty +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors measured and reconstructed whole rock compositions for low MgO eclogite xenoliths from the Koidu kimberlite complex, Sierra Leone.
Journal ArticleDOI
In situ U–Pb rutile dating by LA-ICP-MS: 208Pb correction and prospects for geological applications
Thomas Zack,Daniel F. Stockli,George Luiz Luvizotto,Matthias Barth,Elena Belousova,M. R. Wolfe,Richard Hinton +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the LA-ICP-MS U/Pb geochronology of rutile has been analyzed using a 213 nm Nd:YAG laser coupled to a quadrupole ICP-MS.
