“…The analytical error ranges within 10 % of the absolute concentration of the element. Detailed description of the measurement procedures were given by Flem et al (2002) and Flem and Müller (2012). The analysed quartz crystals were examined by scanning electron microscope cathodoluminescence (SEM-CL) using a Centaurus BS Bialkali type CL detector prior to and after LA-ICP-MS analysis in order to relate the analyses to particular crystal growth zones, where growth zoning is developed, and to avoid the analysis of secondary quartz generations.…”

In the crystalline basement of the Tatra Mountains (Poland/Slovakia) two types of tourmaline-rich breccia zones are described, both having originated from magmatic fluids and showing a 350 ± 1 Ma Re-Os model age. Both T1 brecciated pegmatites and T2 vein-breccias are cemented by a tourmaline-quartz matrix. In T1 breccias, the metasomatic replacement of feldspars by tourmaline and overgrowths of small Tur 2 tourmalines on the primary pegmatitic Tur 1 tourmaline crystals suggest an important role for metasomatic processes. The microcrystalline nature of the quartz-tourmaline matrix and high vacancy ratios in the X-site in tourmaline from T2 breccias reflect relatively rapid crystallization from an oxidized fluid. The formation of both types of breccias is related to the internal structure of the Tatra granitoid intrusion. The layered character of the granitoid body probably stimulated the formation of pegmatite-like pockets, with local overpressure causing metasomatic alteration, rock brecciation and cementation by tourmaline (T1 breccias), the final hydrofracturing of overburden rocks and fluid escape. The resulting fracture zones (T2) are interpreted as the paths for fluid migration and rapid crystallization as the pressure and temperature dropped from 7.5-6 kbar and 630-570 ºC in the case of the T1 brecciated pegmatites to 2.5-1.5 kbar and 465-430 ºC in the vein T2 breccias.

“…124 The analysis of CaF 2 , glass, quartz, ceramics, and other multi-component materials is hampered due to spectral interferences, which can be overcome by high mass resolution. [125][126][127][128] This was also recognised as an example for quality control in the steel industry, e.g., for the determination of phosphorus in steel and for the determination of 14 trace elements in cement. 129,130 Multi-element analysis of materials and objects in the context of forensic studies or provenance determination has been described in literature as well.…”

“…These standards have been well characterized in LA-ICPMS studies and provide reliable calibrations for analysis of many geological materials [12,20]. The certified values for the SRM were used; and when that information was unavailable, consensus values were used [20,21]. Aluminum-27 was used as an internal standard (IS) for sector field ICPMS analyses.…”

Desert varnish is a thin manganese-iron rich dark coating that forms on rocks most often in arid climates. This coating may be up to a few hundred microns in thickness and is thought to grow by approximately one micron per thousand years. Recent research has shown that many elements are incorporated into this coating, and, in spite of its slow growth, it may serve as a passive environmental monitor for recent and historical air pollution. To test this hypothesis, small pieces of varnished rock were probed directly by laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA-ICPMS). Results were obtained for 11 elements (13 The LA-ICPMS data indicate that many of the elements commonly found in fly ash from coal-fired power plants (e.g., Cr, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Cd, Sn, Sb, Tl and Pb) were highly enriched in the rock coatings in relation to the upper continental crust (UCC). For one of the power plants, where tracer plume studies had been carried out, the highest concentrations in the rock varnish coincide with the peak tracer concentration locations. Thus, these elements in rock varnish hold promise for identifying those geographical regions impacted by nearby power plants. Overall, the results indicate that rock varnish can be used as a passive environmental monitor of relatively recent events, and that the trace element fingerprints held in rock varnish may also hold much potential in forensic air pollution studies.
