Specific Application Petrogenic Modelling Based on Bulk Rock Analysis 

Modern geochemical studies use data for a much larger suite of elements, determined at much lower concentrations, to model the tectonic movements of continental plates, and to understand the sources of magma generated in that process (e.g. Lightfoot 1993 Sutcliffe 1993). The key elemental suites include the incompatible  

Isotopic compositions are also critical in these petrogenic modelling studies, to provide ages of the different magmatic episodes. Among the most important ones are Sr/ Sr, Pb/ Pb, Pb/ Pb, and NBS-certi-
