Abstract

Several recent studies have shown notable regularities in the behavior of incompatible trace elements in alkaline volcanic suites [1–5], and there has been some discussion of the significance of these features, especially of linear correlation (or lack of it) between such trace elements [5]. This contribution is not an exhaustive treatment of trace element behavior, the principles of which have been applied to alkaline rocks by others [4,6,7]. Rather it is proposed to discuss some petrogenetic uses to which such data may be put.
