Apatite Chlorine Concentration Measurements by LA-ICP-MS
(2014)Apatite incorporates variable and significant amounts of halogens (mainly F and Cl) in its crystal structure, which can be used to determine the initial F and Cl concentrations of magmas. The amount of chlorine in the ... -
Microanalysis of Cl, Br and I in apatite, scapolite and silicate glass by LA-ICP-MS
(2020)Constraining the abundance and distribution of halogens in geological materials has the potential to provide novel insights into a broad range of earth system processes (e.g. metasomatism, melting, volatile cycling and ore ... -
The trace element and U-Pb systematics of metamorphic apatite and its application in provenance studies
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Natural Sciences. Discipline of Geology, 2020)Apatite is a common accessory mineral in igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic rocks. It has potential as a provenance indicator in clastic sedimentary systems, as it can host a wide variety of trace elements in its crystal ...
