Then they measured how much titanium appeared in crystals grown at different temperatures ... “Some critics have said the water could have been coming up into the zircon-forming area from down in the ...
and optical absorption spectroscopy are used on a heterogeneous sample group of eleven small untreated zircon crystals. The findings indicate an obvious correlation between colors and certain ...
The compositional and mineral variations in the plutonic rocks can be explained by two-stage, low-pressure crystal-melt separation of a dacitic magma. The monzodiorite represents the first-stage ...
