Metallogeny of tin; magmatic differentiation versus geochemical heritage

Metallogeny of tin; magmatic differentiation versus geochemical heritage
Economic Geology and the Bulletin of the Society of Economic Geologists (February 1982) 77 (1): 50-59

Abstract

TiO (sub 2) -Sn and Rb/Sr-Sn variation diagrams for granitic fractionation series from various tin and non-tin provinces do not support the concept of geochemical heredity of tin, i.e., the assumption of a primary crustal Sn anomaly in tin provinces. The controlling factor for the generation of tin granites is a special bulk distribution coefficient of Sn, probably dependent on the oxygen fugacity of the melt.
