Abstract
Carbonatites discovered in south-west Asia have typical trace elements, but some have unusually high ratios of strontium-87 to strontium-86. Related hydrothermal fluorites have quite different strontium isotope ratios and no distinctive trace elements, emphasizing difficulties in identifying ultimate sources of fluorites.
