Abstract:Boron and lithium abundance distributions are very different in the sedimentary and volcanic sections of the VC‐1 core hole, Valles caldera, New Mexico. In the sedimentary section the wide variations in boron and lithium abundances probably reflect both diagenesis and introduction of these elements in early hydrothermal fluids. Late, higher‐temperature fluids appear to have leached boron and lithium from some rocks adjacent to fault zones and aquifers. The correlation of boron with lithium suggests that these … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
