Occurrence of niobium in biotite-type Fe-REE-Nb ore in the Bayan Obo deposit
Solid Earth Sciences, 2023 The Bayan Obo REE-Nb-Fe deposit, which reserves the current largest REE resources globally, also hosts 63.4% of China's Nb resources. Previous studies mainly focus on the isotopes and petrographic mineralogy of carbonatite dyke, ore-host dolomite and ...

Tertiary-Quaternary intra-plate magmatism in Europe and its relationship to mantle dynamics [PDF]
, 2006 Anorogenic intra-plate magmatism was widespread in Europe from early Tertiary to Recent times, extending west to east from Spain to Bulgaria, and south to north from Sicily to northern Germany. Magmatism is spatially and temporally associated with Alpine-

Ultramafic xenoliths from the Bearpaw Mountains, Montana, USA: evidence for multiple metasomatic events in the lithospheric mantle beneath the Wyoming craton [PDF]
, 2004 Ultramafic xenoliths in Eocene minettes of the Bearpaw Mountains volcanic field (Montana, USA), derived from the lower lithosphere of the Wyoming craton, can be divided based on textural criteria into tectonite and cumulate groups. The tectonites consist

Reproducing past subduction and mantle flow using high-resolution global convection models
Earth and Planetary Physics, 2018 Plate subduction drives both the internal convection and the surface geology of the solid Earth. Despite the rapid increase of computational power, it remains challenging for geodynamic models to reproduce the history of Earth-like subduction and ...
