Partitioning isotope decay serie

Another example of an important effect of bulk composition on partitioning behavior is provided by uranium and thorium partitioning into clinopyroxene. The decay series is frequently used as an indicator of the nature and timescales of magmatic processes (e.g., Condomines et aL, 1981 McKenzie, 1985). The parent isotope...
