TL;DR: In this paper, the authors quantify the response of magmatic monazite to three main types of hydrothermal alteration, namely sericitization, chloritization, and greisenization, using backscattered scanning electron microscopy (BSE-SEM), electron microprobe, laser Raman spectroscopy and laser ablation-inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a new synthesis of experimental data from a variety of sources which puts this mechanism on a semi-quantitative basis, and suggest that it may be applicable to a wide variety of hydrothermal gold environments.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used U-Pb dating of monazite and xenotime and 40Ar39Ar dating of muscovite to determine emplacement ages and cooling times for individual plutons within the Cornubian batholith, as well as separate intrusive phases within the pluton.

TL;DR: In this article, the precision and accuracy of LA-ICP-MS was evaluated using sets of multi-element synthetic fluid inclusions in quartz crystals at 750 °C and 7 kbar.

TL;DR: Terminal restriction fragment length polymorphism analyses indicate complex and different populations of microorganisms or their free DNA in ancient halites of different ages.
