Distribution of incompatible trace elements in rock-forming and accessory minerals from carbonatites as a tracer of magma evolution

Carbonatites are igneous rocks comprising more than 50 modal percent of carbonate minerals and characterized by highly variable modal compositions. The majority of carbonatites are confined to intra-continental rifts, whereas occurrences associated with plate margins and orogenic settings are less c...
