A new chlorite geothermometer for diagenetic to low-grade metamorphic conditions

The evolution of chlorite composition with temperature (and pressure) serves as basis to a number of chlorite chemical thermometers, for which the oxidation state of iron has been recognised as a recurrent issue, especially at low temperature ( T ). A new chlorite geothermometer that does not requir...

Description
Summary:The evolution of chlorite composition with temperature (and pressure) serves as basis to a number of chlorite chemical thermometers, for which the oxidation state of iron has been recognised as a recurrent issue, especially at low temperature ( T ). A new chlorite geothermometer that does not require prior Fe 3+ knowledge is formulated, calibrated on 161 analyses with well-constrained T data covering a wide range of geological contexts and tested here for low- T chlorites ( T
