TLDR
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.

Geochemistry and Genesis of the S-Type, Cordierite-Andalusite-Bearing Capillitas Batholith, Argentina

TL;DR: The Ordovician Famatinian-age magmatic cordierite-andalusite-bearing Capillitas batholith, in the Pampean Ranges of northwestern Argentina, encompasses a coarsely porphyritic to equigranular two-mica monzogranite with equigenular, fine-grained, late leucogranitic muscovite-rich facies.

Paleozoic and Lower Mesozoic magmas from the eastern Klamath Mountains (North California) and the geodynamic evolution of northwestern America

TL;DR: The geodynamic evolution of the eastern Klamath Mountains during Paleozoic to Early Mesozoic times is constrained by the geological, petrological and geochemical features of its island-arcs and related marginal basin this paper.

Structural-metamorphic evolution of late proterozoic ophiolites and precambrian basement in the central asian foldbelt of Mongolia

TL;DR: The late Proterozoic and Palaeozoic Central Asian foldbelt is regarded as one of the best examples which demonstrates that processes of lateral crustal growth and obduction-accretion tectonics took place since at least late Precambrian times.

Petrogenetic Appraisal of Early Palaeozoic Granitoids of Kinnaur District, Higher Himachal Himalaya, India

TL;DR: The early Palaeozoic felsic magmatism of Kinnaur district is represented by more-orless equivalent Akpa granitoids (477±29 Ma) and Rakcham granitoid (453±9 Ma), which form an integral part of the Central Crystalline Zone in the southern portion of the Tethys Himalayan Tectogen as discussed by the authors.

Recognising different sediment provenances within a passive margin setting: Towards characterising a sediment source to the west of the British late Carboniferous sedimentary basins

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used trace element geochemistry to distinguish between two major sediment pathways from the west of the Pennine Basin and the South Wales Coalfield in a passive margin setting.

Synthesis of the Elements in Stars

TL;DR: In this article, a count of the stable and radioactive elements and isotopes is given, and Table I,1 shows that only promethium has not been found in nature, whereas 99 elements are found terrestrially and technetium is found in stars.

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.

A chemical-petrologic classification for the chondritic meteorites.

TL;DR: In this article, a two-dimensional classification grid based on chemical and petrologic subdivisions of chondritic meteorites is proposed, which extends the current chemical subdivisions to account for varying petrolic (implied metamorphic) properties within the primary chemical groups.
