Certain complex structures are logically regarded as intergrowths of chemically or topologically discrete modules. When the proportions of these components vary systematically a polysomatic series is created, whose construction provides a basis for understanding defects, symmetry alternation and trends in physical properties.

Gold in biogenic apatites of the Baltic-Ladoga phosphorite basin
The distribution of gold in biogenic apatites from the Ordovician deposits in the northwest of the East European Platform shows that the maximum concentration of gold in apatites is found within the Ladoga-Baltic suture zone.

Marcasite at the Permian‐Triassic Transition
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.

Geochemistry of apatite in various felsic rocks of the Piranshahr plutonic complex: an approach to investigate magmatic evolution [PDF]
The felsic intrusive rocks in the Piranshahr plutonic complex consist of three groups: syenite, nepheline-syenite, and alkali-feldspar granite. They are co-genetic and formed approximately 40 million years ago.
