Accurate electron probe microanalysis of key petrogenetic minor and trace elements in Cr-spinel Abstract The trace element composition of Cr-spinel is paramount for interpreting the petrogenesis of a large group of mafic to ultramafic rocks. Although laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) has proven to be very useful for the determination of trace…
