Abstract

Crystals grown from mixed magmas are characterized by extreme geochemical heterogeneity. The system is self-similar which is reflected in a complex pattern of element distribution in the crystal. New tools are required to show the complexity. 3D depiction (digital concentration-distribution models DC-DMs) combined with fractal statistics is an ideal tool for the identification and description of any subsequent change occurring due to the chaotic processes. LA-ICP-MS analysis gives simultaneous information on the concentration of many elements from the same analysed crystal volume. Thus the data collected are an ideal basis for the calculation of both DC-DMs and fractals. Simultaneous information retrieved by LA-ICP -MS on both compatible and incompatible elements and further data processing allow the determination of the process dynamics in terms of element behavior: antipersistent/persistent, being incorporated according to Henry’s Law or beyond it. The multi-method approach can be used for any system showing geochemical variability.
