What is Zircon Apatite Trace Element Study?
Zircon (ZrSiO4) and apatite (Ca5(PO4)3(OH,F)) are two of the most commonly occurring minerals in geological samples. These minerals contain a wealth of information about the Earths mantle, crust, and atmosphere. By analyzing their trace element composition, scientists can gain valuable insights into the samples origin, age, and evolution.
The Zircon Apatite Trace Element Study is an advanced laboratory service that involves the precise analysis of these minerals chemical composition. Our team of experts uses state-of-the-art equipment to determine the concentrations of up to 60 trace elements in a single run. This information is essential for various applications, including:
Geochronology: Accurate age determination of geological samples
Geochemistry: Understanding the chemical evolution of the Earths mantle and crust
Environmental monitoring: Detecting contamination and tracking geochemical changes
