“…7a) may have been dominantly affected by apatite fractionation (e.g., Bea, 1996;Henderson, 1984). However, apatite has an increased solubility in strongly peraluminous melts (Cuney and Friedrich, 1987;Montel et al, 1988). Then the influence of apatite fractionation on the decrease in the MREE can be reduced.…”
