The evolution of the Sesia Zone (Western Alps) from Carboniferous to Cretaceous: insights from zircon and allanite geochronology [PDF]
Microscale dating of distinct domains in minerals that contain relics of multiple metamorphic events is a key tool to characterize the polyphase evolution of complex metamorphic terranes. Zircon and allanite from five metasediments and five metaintrusive

A summary of the variations in relative abundance of the lanthanides and yttrium in allanites and epidotes [PDF]
Recalculation of 506 analyses of allanites and 53 analyses of epidotes has confirmed that these minerals preferentially concentrate the light lanthanides, but that the relative concentrations vary considerably with variation of the host rocks, with ...

Geology and Geochemistry of the Early Proterozoic Kortejärvi and Laivajoki Carbonatites, Central Fennoscandian Shield, Finland [PDF]
This paper provides for the first time extensive petrological, mineralogical and geochemical data on the early Proterozoic Kortejärvi and Laivajoki carbonatites, northern Finland, which form metamorphosed and highly strained bodies 2 and 4 km long within

Epidote group minerals are one of the three most abundant kinds of heavy minerals in orogenic sediments, the other two being amphibole and garnet. They resist diagenesis better than amphibole and resist weathering in soils better than garnet.

MINERAL ASSEMBLAGES OF THE SHISHIM MINE IN THE SOUTHERN URALS [PDF]
Mineralogy and petrography of complex rocks in area of the Shishim mine in the South Urals is studied. Various skarn assemblages with dominant pyroxene, garnet, vesuvianite, monticellite, chlorite and epidote are developed after gabbroids and granitoids.
