Journal ArticleDOI
Equilibrium Oxygen, Hydrogen and Carbon Isotope Fractionation Factors Applicable to Geologic Systems
TL;DR: A detailed review of the major methods for determining fractionation factors can be found in this article, along with a discussion of the advantages and disadvantages of each of these methods in the context of stable isotope geochemistry.
Journal ArticleDOI
Oxygen isotope fractionations involving diopside, forsterite, magnetite, and calcite: Application to geothermometry
TL;DR: In this article, the carbonate-exchange technique was used to obtain diopside, forsterite, magnetite, and calcite isotope fractionations of the form 1000 ln α = A × 106T−2, where the coefficient A is given in the following table.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Granulite Uncertainty Principle: Limitations on Thermobarometry in Granulites
B. Ronald Frost,Thomas Chacko +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, three geothermometers based on reversed experimental data and applicable to granulites: the two-pyroxene, two-oxide, and garnet-clinopyroxene thermometers.
Journal ArticleDOI
Oxygen and carbon isotope fractionations between CO2 and calcite
TL;DR: In this paper, a recalculated calcite-graphite fractionation curve based on new calculations of partition functions ratios for calcite suggests that this system is well suited for high-temperature isotopic thermometry of graphitic marbles as first proposed by Valley and O'Neill (1981).
Journal ArticleDOI
Temperatures of Granulite-facies Metamorphism: Constraints from Experimental Phase Equilibria and Thermobarometry Corrected for Retrograde Exchange
TL;DR: Pattison et al. as mentioned in this paper applied a thermobarometry method to 414 granulites of mafic, intermediate and aluminous bulk compositions and found that they are much hotter than traditionally assumed and that the P±T conditions of the amphibolite±granulite transition portrayed in current petrology textbooks are significant underestimates by over 100 C.
