Chunfei Chen,Yongsheng Liu,Stephen F. Foley,Mihai N. Ducea,Mihai N. Ducea,Detao He,Zhaochu Hu,Wei Chen,Keqing Zong +8 more
TL;DR: Wang et al. as discussed by the authors proposed a method to use the State Key Laboratory of Geological Processes and Mineral Resources (CKML) of China University of Geosciences.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evidence for the alkaline nature of parental carbonatite melts at Oka complex in Canada
TL;DR: It is proposed that derivation of alkali-enriched parental carbonatite melts has been more prevalent than that preserved in the geological record, and mineral assemblages within the melt inclusions that are consistent with those documented in natrocarbonatite lavas are proposed.
Journal ArticleDOI
In situ U–Th–Pb ages of the Miaoya carbonatite complex in the South Qinling orogenic belt, central China
TL;DR: In this paper, in situ U-Th-Pb ages have been obtained for the constituent minerals zircon, monazite and columbite from carbonatite and syenite of the Miaoya complex, together with their chemical and isotopic compositions.
