Can the zircon origin be established from geochemical data alone? Insights from chlorite schists in the Ronda peridotites
This study deals with the scarce chlorite schists scattered through the Ronda peridotites (Betic Cordilleras, Spain) related to the intrusion of granite dykes. Chlorite schists field data and the petrography, geochemistry and geothermometry of the extracted zircon crystals, point to late magmatic me...

| Sumario: | This study deals with the scarce chlorite schists scattered through the Ronda peridotites (Betic Cordilleras, Spain) related to the intrusion of granite dykes. Chlorite schists field data and the petrography, geochemistry and geothermometry of the extracted zircon crystals, point to late magmatic melts for the zircon origin. Moreover, LA-ICPMS analyses reveal that trace and rare earth elements alone could not be indicative for the magmatic or hydrothermal origin of zircon. Therefore, the combination of that information with zircon morphology, melt inclusions, geothermometry, and structural data, when possible, is crucial in the correct zircon origin identification |
