Calculation of cerium and lanthanum anomalies in geological and environmental samples
TL;DR: In this article , a database of rocks exhibiting no La and Ce anomalies was used to demonstrate that linear extrapolation can result in markedly different results depending on whether chondritic or shale values are used for normalization.

The Riphean magmatism preceding the opening of Uralian paleoocean: geochemistry, isotopes, age, and geodynamic implications
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present the geochemical data on the Sr-, Nd-isotopes, zircon U-Pb (SHRIMP) ages for the MesoNeoproterozoic igneous rocks and associated ores from the Bashkir meganticlinorium (BMA) on the Urals western slope.

TL;DR: In this paper , radiocarbon dates of multiple charcoal samples from the base of the most recent fissural lava at the Boset Volcanic Complex indicate that it likely occurred between 1812 and 1919 CE.

Chemical and isotopic systematics of oceanic basalt : implications for mantle composition and processes
TL;DR: In this article, trace-element data for mid-ocean ridge basalts and ocean island basalts are used to formulate chemical systematics for oceanic basalts, interpreted in terms of partial-melting conditions, variations in residual mineralogy, involvement of subducted sediment, recycling of oceanic lithosphere and processes within the low velocity zone.

Subcommission on geochronology: Convention on the use of decay constants in geo- and cosmochronology
R.H. Steiger,E. Jäger +1 more
TL;DR: The IUGS Subcommission on Geochronology (FOOTNOTE 4) as discussed by the authors recommended the adoption of a standard set of decay constants and isotopic abundances in isotope geology.

A large-scale isotope anomaly in the Southern Hemisphere mantle
TL;DR: The authors showed that the isotopic mantle anomaly is globe-encircling in extent, centred on latitude 30° S. They also showed that this mantle anomaly has been in existence for billions of years and placed severe constraints on mantle convection models.

Rare-earth abundances in chondritic meteorites
TL;DR: In this article, 15 chondrites, including eight carbonaceous chondites, were analyzed for rare earth element abundances by isotope dilution, and the persistence of anomalies in chondritic materials relatively removed from direct condensational processes implies that anomalous components were introduced at a late stage of chondrite formation.
