I am looking for detailed trace elements profiles across magmatic zircons. Could you send me some references or share the data? We are trying to reconstruct P-T evolution of magmas based on changes in trace element concentration from cores to rims.
Hi Oleg,
Below are some articles with trace elements profiles in zircons.
Hofmann, A. E., Baker, M. B., & Eiler, J. M. (2014). Sub-micron-scale trace-element distributions in natural zircons of known provenance: implications for Ti-in-zircon thermometry. Contributions to Mineralogy and Petrology, 168, 1-21.
Claiborne, L. L., Miller, C. F., & Wooden, J. L. (2010). Trace element composition of igneous zircon: a thermal and compositional record of the accumulation and evolution of a large silicic batholith, Spirit Mountain, Nevada. Contributions to Mineralogy and Petrology, 160, 511-531.
Claiborne, L. L., Miller, C. F., Walker, B. A., Wooden, J. L., Mazdab, F. K., & Bea, F. (2006). Tracking magmatic processes through Zr/Hf ratios in rocks and Hf and Ti zoning in zircons: an example from the Spirit Mountain batholith, Nevada. Mineralogical Magazine, 70(5), 517-543.
Thanks, Olga! Unfortunately the resolution in the last 2 papers is not great. I am looking for a long profile with 2-5 microns spasing.
