Behavior of lutetium-hafnium, samarium-neodymium and rubidium-strontium isotopic systems during processes affecting continental crust.

Combined Lu-Hf, Sm-Nd and Rb-Sr isotopic studies of continental crustal rocks were undertaken to assess the relative effects of secondary crustal processes on isotopic systematics of whole-rock systems. The processes studied include ductile deformation, and three cases of hydrothermal alteration, in...
