Ophiolite genesis and global tectonics: Geochemical and tectonic fingerprinting of ancient oceanic lithosphere
Yildirim Dilek,Harald Furnes +1 more
TL;DR: A review of these ideas as well as a new classification of ophiolites, incorporating the diversity in their structural architecture and geochemical signatures that results from variations in petrological, geochemical, and tectonic processes during formation in different geodynamic settings is presented in this article.

ICP-MS — A powerful tool for high-precision trace-element analysis in Earth sciences: Evidence from analysis of selected U.S.G.S. reference samples
TL;DR: In this article, the power of inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) is demonstrated for petrogenetic studies using a simple HF-HNO3 dissolution in screwtop Teflon® bombs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Immobile Element Fingerprinting of Ophiolites
TL;DR: In this paper, immobile element proxies for fractionation indices, alkalinity, mantle temperature, mantle flow and subduction addition are used to classify ophiolite lavas and fingerprint the precise setting of the ridge at which an ophiola formed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Birth, death, and resurrection: The life cycle of suprasubduction zone ophiolites
TL;DR: A consistent sequence of events during their formation and evolution that suggests that they form in response to processes that are common to all such ophiolites has been found in this article.
Journal ArticleDOI
Temperatures and H 2 O contents of low-MgO high-alumina basalts
TL;DR: Experimental evidence was used to estimate H2O contents in low-MgO high-alumina basalts (HABs) (8.5wt.% MgO) as discussed by the authors.

The use of bromine pentafluoride in the extraction of oxygen from oxides and silicates for isotopic analysis
TL;DR: In this paper, a technique was developed in which bromine pentafluoride was used as a reagent for quantitative liberation of oxygen from oxides and silicates, and the results of isotopic analyses were compared with measurements made in other laboratories by other procedures.
Journal ArticleDOI
Determination of REE, Ba, Fe, Mg, Na and K in carbonaceous and ordinary chondrites
TL;DR: In this paper, the exact determination of REE and Ba abundances in three carbonaceous (Orgueil Cl, Murchison C2 and Allende C3) and seven olivine-bronzite chondrites were carried out by mass spectrometric isotope dilution technique.
Journal ArticleDOI
Variation of seawater 87Sr/86Sr throughout Phanerozoic time
TL;DR: In this paper, a curve of seawater 87Sr/86Sr versus geologic time through the Phanerozoic is presented, which provides a basis for dating many marine carbonate, evaporite, and phosphate samples.
Journal ArticleDOI
Lead isotopic study of young volcanic rocks from mid-ocean ridges, ocean islands and island arcs
TL;DR: Lead isotopic compositions of young volcanic rocks from different tectonic environments have distinctive characteristics their differences are evaluated within the framework of global tectonics and mantle differentiation Ocean island leads are in general more radiogenic than mid-ocean ridge basalt (morb) leads as discussed by the authors.

Solar-system abundances of the elements
Edward Anders,Mitsuru Ebihara +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the Ogueil Cl meteorite and all previous Cl chondrite analyses were employed to develop a new solar system abundance table, including the standard deviation and number of analyses for each element.
