i want to know how reliable is the use of Rare Earth Elements, Eu and Ce anomaly/signature together with trace element and major element ratios as a tracer to unravel Mid Ocean ridge flank sediments’ tectonic history, post depositional sequences and provenance? Can I get a link to recent publications on this? Is isotopic tracer/palaeoceanographic analysis, the most applicable methods for it?
Dear Dr Popoola Samuel Olantude,
For dealing in sediment tectonic history using REE proxy you are inclined to read much in REE work done by Prof Harald and Dr Taylor and Dr McLennan and all were familiar . However for better understanding in ocean and deep sea REE mechanism, the new studies touch on comprehensive skill and technical on how REE transport from water overlying to seafloor moreover to MORB or mid ocean ridge please read those paper published as in file attached.

Dear Dr. Olatunde,
I have a wide range of publications devoted to the geochemistry of sedimentary rocks that providing useful information about composition of source rocks, trace elements ratios, sorting and weathering effect, tectonics settings or correlation coefficients, etc.. I hope that attached files will help you. Although I specialize in different type of research, I think that you can use this data for your work. I recommend to see publications from S. R. Taylor, S. M. McLennan.
Kind regards,
Petr Mikysek
