Controls on Trace Element Uptake in Metamorphic Titanite: Implications for Petrochronology

Petrochronology—the interpretation of isotopic dates with complementary elemental data—requires understanding the relationship between trace elements in chronometers and the petrological evolution of their host rocks. Titanite is a useful petrochronometer for crustal processes, but how titanite records host rock evolution is uncertain. We present an extensive titanite U–Pb and chemical dataset from felsic gneisses and leucosomes in the Western...
