Apatite Textures, Elemental and Isotopic Compositions Unmask the Homogenizing Process in Silicic Magma Chambers

Abstract Silicic magmas are the most viscous of all magmas, however some granitic plutons display remarkably homogeneous compositions, which contradicts the hypothesis that mechanical mixing is the main homogenizing process in the magma chamber. Thus much remains controversial about the mechanisms r...
