Biotite Trace-Element Mapping Study by july.quiceno is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This study utilizes high-resolution LA-ICP-MS trace-element mapping to investigate biotite from 22 felsic intrusions in New Brunswick, focusing on its magmatic zoning patterns. The findings reveal that while major elements in biotite are homogeneous, two-thirds of the grains exhibit trace-element zoning, particularly in larger grains, which may indicate rapid cooling post-crystallization. The research highlights the potential of biotite zoning to provide insights into syn- to post-magmatic processes and the
