Lithological and geochemical characterization of ‘adinole’ artefacts from cave deposits in southwest Wales: A material of choice during the late Middle to Upper Palaeolithic by Richard Bevins, Elizabeth A. Walker, Nick Pearce, Duncan Pirrie, Rob Ixer, Ian Saunders, Matthew Power

“…Twenty-three artefacts previously identified as being manufactured from adinole, a fine-grained metasomatic rock, from late Middle to Upper Palaeolithic cave sites in southwest Wales have been re-examined in terms of their petrology and geochemistry. Standard petrography has been combined with automated SEM-EDS analysis for a single artefact to determine the mineralogy and textures of that artefact, while portable XRF and μXRF have been combined to establish the geochemical characteristics of all twenty-three artefacts analysed. …”

Insights on the Permian tuff beds from the Saint-Affrique Basin (Massif Central, France): an integrated geochemical and geochronological study by Poujol, Marc, Mercuzot, Mathilde, Lopez, Michel, Bourquin, Sylvie, Bruguier, Olivier, Hallot, Erwan, Beccaletto, Laurent

“…Artinskian, $290.1\pm 0.26$ to $283.5\pm 0.6~\mathrm{Ma}$). The elemental geochemistry, the presence of inherited detrital zircons and the Hf signatures of the volcanic ones indicate the involvement of an old (Proterozoic and older) basement in the magma genesis; this crustal contribution becomes more prominent towards the top of the sedimentary succession.…”
