U–Pb Dating, Gemology, and Chemical Composition of Apatite from Dara-e-Pech, Afghanistan
Crystals, 2023 Minerals of the apatite group commonly occur in granite pegmatites, and their ability to incorporate a wide range of trace elements makes them a good indicator of magma composition and magmatic–hydrothermal processes.

The impact of vegetation on fractionation of rare earth elements(REE) during water–rock interaction [PDF]
, 2006 Previous studies on waters of a streamlet in the Vosges mountains (eastern France) have shown that Sr and rare earth elements (REE) principally originate from apatite dissolution during weathering. However, stream water REE patterns normalized to apatite

Marcasite at the Permian‐Triassic Transition
Geophysical Monograph Series, Page 377-399., 2021 Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact
An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.
