TLDR
In this article, a suite of granitic partial melts and their residual parent gneisses were analyzed for rare-earth element (REE) analyses, and it was shown that the behavior of REE in the suite studied (Eu excepted) is almost entirely controlled by minor minerals (other than refractory zircon and apatite) which have very large crystal/melt partition coefficients for the REE.About:

Zircon saturation in felsic liquids : Experimental results and applications to trace element geochemistry
TL;DR: For peraluminous melts and melts lying in the quartz-orthoclase-albite composition plane, less than 100 ppm Zr is required for zircon saturation as mentioned in this paper.

Monazite solubility and dissolution kinetics: implications for the thorium and light rare earth chemistry of felsic magmas
Robert P. Rapp,E. Bruce Watson +1 more
TL;DR: A series of monazite dissolution experiments was conducted in a hydrous (1-6 wt%) granitic melt at 8 kbar over the temperature range 1,000-1,400° C.

Trace elements behavior in granite genesis: A case study The calc-alkaline plutonic association from the Querigut complex (Pyrénées, France)
Serge Fourcade,Claude J. Allègre +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that the different granitoids of the zoned Querigut complex (Hercynian Pyrenees) are associated with a series of basic to intermediate rocks ranging from hornblende-bearing peridotites to quartz-diorites.

Geochemical investigations of the origin of the Manaslu leucogranite (Himalaya, Nepal)
TL;DR: In this paper, a geochemical study was conducted to examine the crustal origin of the granite, to verify whether the paragneisses of the Tibetan Slab are the most probable parent material and to determine the subsequent petrogenetic processes.

Geochemistry and origin of the early Precambrian crust of northeastern Minnesota
Joseph G. Arth,Gilbert N. Hanson +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the origin of the Early Precambrian greenstone-granite complex of northeastern Minnesota consists of four major groups: metavolcanic tholeiitic basalt and basaltic andesite, trondhjemite, tonalite, extrusive and hypabyssal dacite and rhyodacite.

Trace element geochemistry of Archean granitic rocks from the Barberton region, South Africa
Kent C. Condie,D.R. Hunter +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a mantle plume model is proposed for the Barberton region in South Africa, which has the advantages of including both moderate and high geothermal gradients and accounting for the observed episodisity of magmatism.

Trace element distribution patterns and their relationship to the crystallization of granitic melts
Terence S. McCarthy,R.A. Hasty +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the distribution of Ba, Rb and Sr during crystallization of a granitic melt is examined in a number of theoretical models, including perfect fractional and incremental equilibrium crystallization.

Distribution coefficients of Eu and Sr for plagioclase-liquid and clinopyroxene-liquid equilibria in oceanic ridge basalt: an experimental study
TL;DR: The distribution coefficients of Eu and Sr for plagioclase-liquid and clinopyroxene-liquid pairs as a function of temperature and oxygen fugacity were experimentally investigated using an oceanic ridge basalt enriched with EU and Sr as the starting material.
