Mechanical twinning of monazite expels radiogenic lead
Mechanical twins form by the simple shear of the crystal lattice during deformation. In order to test the potential of narrow twins in monazite to record the timing of their formation, we investigated a ca.

Garnet–monazite rare earth element relationships in sub-solidus metapelites: a case study from Bhutan [PDF]
A key aim of modern metamorphic geochronology is to constrain precise and accurate rates and timescales of tectonic processes. One promising approach in amphibolite and granulite-facies rocks links the geochronological information recorded in zoned ...

REE-bearing minerals in Drava river sediments, Slovenia, and their potential origin
Monazite and xenotime are major ore minerals for rare earth elements (REE), Y, and actinides, a powerful tool for radiometric dating and indicators of the geological genesis of the parent rock.

Corona formation around monazite and xenotime during greenschist-facies metamorphism and deformation
. Epidote/allanite–fluorapatite coronae around monazite and xenotime are investigated in Permian pegmatites deformed under greenschist-facies conditions during Alpine tectonometamorphism in the Austroalpine basement, Eastern Alps. The aim was to evaluate

Late Precambrian U-Pb titanite age for peak regional metamorphism and deformation (Knoydartian orogeny) in the western Moine, Scotland [PDF]
There has been controversy over the number and timing of orogenies in the Precambrian Moine block in the Scottish Caledonides since the earliest radiometric dating in the 1960s. This work challenges a recent hypothesis, that this sector of the Laurentian

New monazite U-Pb age constraints on the evolution of the Paleoproterozoic Vaasa granitoid batholith, western Finland [PDF]
The Vaasa batholith, western Finland, is a large, peraluminous granitoid pluton that crystallized at 1.88–1.87 Ga during the culmination of the Svecofennian orogeny.
