Journal ArticleDOI
A Compilation of New and Published Major and Trace Element Data for NIST SRM 610 and NIST SRM 612 Glass Reference Materials
Nicholas J. G. Pearce,William T. Perkins,John A. Westgate,Michael P. Gorton,Simon E. Jackson,Clive R. Neal,Simon P. Chenery +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a compilation of trace element data from approximately sixty published works for NIST SRM 611 and NISTSRM 613 and provide useful new working values for these reference materials.
Journal ArticleDOI
The origin of the fractionation of platinum-group elements in terrestrial magmas
TL;DR: The platinum-group elements (PGE's) when chondrite normalized, have been found to be fractionated in order of descending melting point (Os, Ir, Ru, Rh, Pt, Pd and Au) as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
From continents to island arcs: a geochemical index of tectonic setting for arc-related and within-plate felsic to intermediate volcanic rocks
Michael P. Gorton,Eva S. Schandl +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, three distinct tectonic regimes were identified for felsic and intermediate volcanic rocks using published datasets from twenty-six different geographical locations around the world, including oceanic arcs, active continental margins and within-plate volcanic zones.
Journal ArticleDOI
Trace-element geochemistry of ore-associated and barren, felsic metavolcanic rocks in the Superior Province, Canada
TL;DR: In this article, archean felsic metavolcanic rocks in the Superior Province of the Canadian Shield were divided into three major groups on the basis of trace-element abundances and ratios.
Journal ArticleDOI
Application of high field strength elements to discriminate tectonic settings in vms environments
Eva S. Schandl,Michael P. Gorton +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the tectonic environments of selected Archean and post-Archean volcanogenic massive sulfide (VMS) deposits were reexamined using discriminant diagrams, showing that although the chemical character of rhyolites has not changed significantly since the Archean, the range of geotectonic setting of VMS probably has.
