Abstract Xenotime is a significant accessory mineral which is being extensively used for precise U–Th–Pb geochronology by Electron Microprobe Analysis (EPMA). This paper presents a protocol for high analytical precision (<3% uncertainties on the measured ages) developed for the accurate estimation of U–Th and Pb content in …

Eleven specimens of xenotime from the Alpine region (six from fissures, five from granitic pegmatites) have been analyzed by electron microprobe. Unit-cell parameters have been obtained from X-ray-diffraction data obtained on single crystals. The REE distribution is subject to important variation, some specimens being particularly rich in …

The crystal chemistry and crystal structure of the rare earth element phosphates, monazite-(Ce), Ce(PO 4), and xenotime-(Y), Y(PO 4), as well as the arsenates, gasparite-(Ce), Ce(AsO 4), and chernovite-(Y), Y(AsO 4), from the hydrothermal quartz-bearing fissures, related to pegmatites overprinted by amphibolite facies, …
Table 1 summarizes representative bulk-rock composition of those granites from the Erzgebirge and Jordan, which contain intermediate solid solutions. A common feature of most of the tabulated rocks is that they represent highly evolved granites poor in P. The data show that the samples span a wide range of composition with respect to …
The formation environment of xenotime can be deduced from careful petrography and reliable U-Pb in-situ geochronology within a 4D framework. Further, xenotime is a physically robust mineral during sediment transport and may carry distinctive geochemical fingerprints, including age, to secondary environments. From published …
xenotime compositions in different types of ore-bearing and barren granites of the Erzge-birge/Krušné Hory; and (iii) an attempt to establish basic relations between monazite and xenotime compositions and the bulk-rock composition of the parental granite. 2.

Xenotime overgrowths on detrital zircon in siliciclastic sediments have been reported in numerous studies. However, in natural samples, solid solution of zircon and xenotime is limited to near-end-member compositions. In order to characterize the interface region between both minerals and to draw inferences on the growth mechanisms of …

Abstract. The on-site identification of rare-earth-element (REE) bearing minerals prior to off-site quantitative analysis helps to efficiently develop mines that reserve REEs. This study examines a method for rapidly identifying xenotime, which is one of the principal REE bearing minerals, leading to such on-site analysis.
