Abstract
Geochemical fingerprinting is based upon the idea that the chemical composition of a mineral or rock reflects the geological processes associated with its formation. Information about the elemental composition and isotopic ratios has used been used extensively within the geochemical community to differentiate geological samples derived from distinct source reservoirs or having a different post-formation history.
