Phase Decomposition upon Alteration of Radiation-Damaged Monazite-(Ce) from Moss, Ostfold, Norway

The internal textures of crystals of moderately radiation-damaged monazite-(Ce) from Moss, Norway, indicate heavy, secondary chemical alteration. In fact, the cm-sized specimens are no longer mono-mineral monazite but rather a composite consisting of monazite-(Ce) and apatite pervaded by several gen...
