What could be responsible for the significant Eu anomalies in varieties of hydrothermal flourite minerals hosted by sedimentary rocks?

REE distributions of some varieties of flourite minerals from sedimentary rocks-hosted hydrothermal vein display LREE enrichment relative to HREE (30-300x Chondrite). All patterns show very...
