It is well-established that lanthanide rare earth elements (REEs) have the potential to record nature and source characteristics of their host magmas, in both whole-rock minerals. Accessory minerals concentrate REEs are especially useful crustal evolution studies, for elemental isotopic information; classic unrivalled example being zircon. Approaches using a single radiogenic system, or one sta...

The Lower Llandoverian metasedimentary rocks of the Prades Mountains, southwestern Catalonia, Spain, consist of interstratified anorthite-rich beds, chert beds, phosphate beds, sulfide-rich black shale (with mainly pyrrhotite and minor chalcopyrite), massive sulfide lenses and calc-silicate beds. These metasedimentary rocks are anomalously enriched in V and Cr, and have disseminated minerals of...

In this paper we report U-Pb zircon and titanite data and interpreted ages for sixteen rocks (Figure 1) sampled in support of regional mapping projects conducted by the British Columbia Geological Survey Branch during the midto late-1990s. Each sample is reported with geological context, interpretation of U-Pb data and significance of the date. The U-Pb results are also displayed on standard co...
