Ross + Bedard (2009) Zr/Y-Th/Yb

Description

Assigns data for a Zr/Y vs. Th/Yb binary diagram into Figaro template (list 'sheet') and appropriate values into 'x.data' and 'y.data'.

Usage

Ross()

Arguments

None.

Details

The binary plot Zr/Y vs. Th/Yb designed by Ross and Bédard (2009) for classification of ancient subalkaline volcanic rocks into tholeiitic or calc-alkaline series. In these cases, the conventional AFM diagram tends to be of limited use due to the potential mobility of alkalis.
