Fractionation of Rare Earth Elements in Greisen and Hydrothermal Veins Related to A-Type Magmatism by Mikael Tillberg, Olga M. Maskenskaya, Henrik Drake, Johan K. Hogmalm, Curt Broman, Anthony E. Fallick, Mats E. Åström

“…Fluid-inclusion microthermometry reveals that multiple pulses of moderately to highly saline aqueous to carbonic solutions caused greisenization and vein formation at temperatures above 200–250°C and up to 430°C at the early hydrothermal stage in the veins. Low calculated ∑REE concentration for bulk vein (15 ppm) compared to greisen (75 ppm), country rocks (173–224 ppm), and the intruding granite (320 ppm) points to overall low REE levels in the hydrothermal fluids emanating from the granite. …”
