Ni (and Co) are concentrated in olivine, and Cr in spinel andclinopyroxene. High concentrations indicate a mantle source.V, Ti Both show strong fractionation into Fe-Ti oxides (ilmenite or titanomagnetite). If they behavedifferently, Ti probably fractionates into an accessory phase, such as sphene or rutile.Zr, Hf Very incompatible elements that do not substitute into major silicate phases (although they mayreplace Ti in sphene or rutile).Ba, Rb Incompatible element that substitutes for K in K-feldspar, micas, or hornblende. Rb substitutesless readily in hornblende than K-spar and micas, such that the K/Ba ratio may distinguish thesephases.Sr Substitutes for Ca in plagioclase (but not in pyroxene), and, to a lesser extent, for K in K-feldspar. Behaves as a compatible element at low pressure where plagioclase forms early, butas an incompatible at higher pressure where plagioclase is no longer stable.REE Garnet accommodates the HREE more than the LREE, and orthopyroxene and hornblende doso to a lesser degree. Sphene and plagioclase accommodates more LREE. Eu2+ is stronglypartitioned into plagioclase.Y Commonly incompatible (like HREE). Strongly partitioned into garnet and amphibole. Spheneand apatite also concentrate Y, so the presence of these as accessories could have asignificant effect. Table 9-6.Table 9-6. After Green (1980). Tectonophys., After Green (1980).
