Using monazite geochronology to test the plume model for carbonatites: The example of Gifford Creek Carbonatite Complex, Australia
Carbonatites are carbonate-dominated igneous rocks derived by low-degree partial melting of metasomatized mantle, although the geodynamic processes responsible for their emplacement into the crust are disputed. Current models favor either reactivation of lithospheric structures in response to plate...
