Geochemical, isotopic and U-Pb geochronological investigation of the late Cretaceous Karaçayır carbonatite (Sivas, Turkey): Insights into mantle sources within a post-collisional tectonic setting Open
The Karaçayır carbonatite is located within the northeastern edge of the Central Anatolian Crystalline Complex, and represents one of the significant rare earth element (REE) mineralizations in Turkey. The carbonatite intrudes the associat…

The Carbonate-Hosted Tullacondra Cu-Ag Deposit, Mallow, Ireland Open
The Tullacondra Cu-Ag deposit is located on the southern margin of the Lower Carboniferous Irish Midlands orefield and contains historical reserves of approximately 4.2 Mt at 0.7% Cu and 27.5 ppm Ag. The deposit is hosted within the hangin…

Seaborgite, LiNa6K2(UO2)(SO4)5(SO3OH)(H2O), the First Uranyl Mineral Containing Lithium Open
Seaborgite (IMA2019-087), LiNa6K2(UO2)(SO4)5(SO3OH)(H2O), is a new mineral species from the Blue Lizard mine, Red Canyon, San Juan County, Utah, U.S.A. It is a secondary phase found on gypsum in association with copiapite, ferrinatrite, iv…

Eliminating Laser Induced Elemental U-Pb Fractionation using low sample volume multi-shot ablation protocols Open
<p>The interaction of incident laser radiation and sample substrate is complex and difficult to predict. Natural zircons areoften both structurally and chemically heterogeneous in 3-dimensional space. Encountering growth-related, str…
Geochronology of Uraninite Revisited Open
Identification of uraninite provenance for the purpose of nuclear forensics requires a multifaceted approach. Various geochemical signatures, such as chondrite normalized rare earth element patterns, help identify and limit the potential s…
The Role of Continental Crust in the Formation of Uraninite-Based Ore Deposits Open
This study reports trace element abundances and Pb, Sr, and U isotopic signatures of uraninite from a variety of ore deposits in order to establish baseline forensic information for source attribution of raw, natural U-rich samples. Trace …
Multivariate Analysis Based on Geochemical, Isotopic, and Mineralogical Compositions of Uranium-Rich Samples Open
The chemical and isotopic (U, Pb, Sr) signatures for a suite (n = 23) of pristine (>80 wt. % UO2) and altered uraninite samples (>70–80 wt. % UO2) from various locations worldwide have been determined for the purpose of identifying potenti…
Happy Jack Uraninite: A New Reference Material for High Spatial Resolution Analysis of U‐Rich Matrices Open
There is currently a lack of well‐characterised matrix‐matched reference materials (RMs) for forensic analysis of U‐rich materials at high spatial resolution. This study reports a detailed characterisation of uraninite (nominally UO 2+x ) …
Platinum stable isotope fractionation and adsorption on marine ferromanganese oxide substrates Open
In the modern oxic ocean, ferromanganese sediments in the form of crusts and nodules precipitate directly from seawater over geological timescales. These slow growing ferromanganese sediments incorporate many trace elements, recording chan…
