Methods

Sr – isotopes in plagioclase and carbonates

B – isotopes in Tourmaline

Sm-Nd isotopes in monazite, apatite and titanite

Lu_Hf isotopes in zircon

Trace elements in all mineral phases

S isotopes in Pyrite

U-Pb in garnet, titanite, monazite, zircon, calcite, apatite, rutile

All analyses are done via Laser Ablation. The analyses include the following:

1 – Sample Preparation

2 – Imaging

3 – Data Reduction and Plotting

4 – Interpretation will be provided for academic collaborative projects
