Petrology and geochemistry of Camiguin Island, southern Philippines: insights to the source of adakites and other lavas in a complex arc setting

TL;DR: Camiguin is a small volcanic island located 12 km north of Mindanao Island in southern Philippines as mentioned in this paper, which is the most likely source of Camiguin and most CMA magmas is the mantle wedge metasomatized by fluids dehydrated from a subducted slab.
Journal ArticleDOI

Magnesium isotope heterogeneity of the isotopic standard SRM980 and new reference materials for magnesium-isotope-ratio measurements

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used multicollector ICP-MS for the precise measurement of variations in the isotopic composition of the isotope standard of magnesium (SRM980) provided by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (Gaithersburg, MD, USA).
Journal ArticleDOI

Clues from Fe Isotope Variations on the Origin of Early Archean BIFs from Greenland

TL;DR: The observed enrichments are compatible with the transport, oxidation, and subsequent precipitation of ferrous iron emanating from hydrothermal vents and thus suggest that the original rocks were banded iron formations (BIFs), which support a sedimentary origin for the Akilia banded rocks, which represent one of the oldest known occurrences of water-laid deposits on Earth.
Journal ArticleDOI

Magnesium isotope fractionation in silicate melts by chemical and thermal diffusion

TL;DR: In this paper, two types of laboratory experiments were used to quantify magnesium isotopic fractionations associated with chemical and thermal (Soret) diffusion in silicate liquids, and the results showed that the magnesium isotope fractionation as a function of temperature in molten basalt corresponds to 3.6 × 10−2 ǫ/°C/amu.
Journal ArticleDOI

The early differentiation history of Mars from 182W-142Nd isotope systematics in the SNC meteorites

TL;DR: In this article, the shergottite-nakhlite-chassignite (martian) meteorites were analyzed and the results of an investigation of W and Nd isotopes in the SNC were reported.
