The crystal chemistry of apatite from an experimental and natural perspective

Apatite has a relatively accommodating crystal structure that allows for the incorporation of geochemically important elements (e.g., high field strength elements [HFSE]: Hf, Th and U; and rare earth elements [REE]: lanthanides plus Y and Sc) that can be analyzed with modern microanalytical techniqu...
