TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compared the relative abundances of the refractory elements in carbonaceous, ordinary, and enstatite chondritic meteorites and found that the most consistent composition of the Earth's core is derived from the seismic profile and its interpretation, compared with primitive meteorites, and chemical and petrological models of peridotite-basalt melting relationships.
TL;DR: In this article, the abundance and distribution of selected minor and trace elements (Ti, Zr, Y, Nb, Ce, Ga and Sc) in fresh volcanic rocks can be used to classify the differentiation products of subalkaline and alkaline magma series in a similar manner to methods using normative or major-element indices.
TL;DR: The Plesovice zircon as discussed by the authors has a concordant U-Pb age with a weighted mean Pb-206/U-238 date of 337.13 +/- 0.37 Ma (ID-TIMS, 95% confidence limits, including tracer calibration uncertainty).
TL;DR: In this paper, an internal standard-independent calibration strategy for LA-ICP-MS analysis of anhydrous minerals and glasses was described, where the ablation yield correction factor (AYCF) was used to correct the matrix-dependent absolute amount of materials ablated during each run.
