Rare Earth Elements in Weathered Crusts of Granitic Rocksin SoutheastAsianTin Belt(Northern Thailand, Southern Thailand (Ranong-Takua Pa-Phuket) and Bangka Island, Indonesia) by , A. Imai

“…Since the slope of chondrite-normalized REE pattern of the weathered crust of the granitoids in northern and southern Thailand appear similar to those of the fresh granitic rocks, REE-bearing accessory minerals may be resistant agai nst weathering, and they may remain as residual phases. …”

Petrogenesis of Garnet Clinopyroxenite and Associated Dunite in Hujialin, Sulu Orogenic Belt, Eastern China by Jianguo Liu, Jian Wang, Keiko Hattori, Zeli Wang

“…The garnet clinopyroxenite is low in heavy rare-earth elements (HREE, 5.97–10.6 ppm) and has convex spoon-shaped chondrite-normalized REE patterns, suggesting the garnet formed later, and its precursor is clinopyroxenite. …”

Characteristics of Rare Earth Elements in the Deep Carbonate Rocks and Their Geological Significance in the Dachang Tin-polymetallic Deposit of Guangxi by QIN Yan, WANG Deng-hong, LIANG Ting, LI Jiang-kang, HOU Ke-jun

“…The ratios of light rare earth elements and heavy rare earth elements (LREEs/HREEs) had a range of 2.96-10.04, which meant that there was a high degree of fractionation between light rare earth elements and heavy rare earth elements. δEu values varied between 0.11 and 1.00 and δCe values ranged from 0.53 to 0.99. The Chondrite-normalized distribution pattern chart was ‘right inclination’ LREE enrichment type. …”
