Abstract

Primary allanite crystals occurring in andesitic rocks from Poros, NE Peloponnese, Greece were studied. Although the allanite shows high REE content, its presence does not affect the whole-rock REE content of the andesite. It is suggested that the formation of allanite crystals reflects the crystallization history of the andesitic rocks where allanite occurs. These andesitic rocks are the most basic rocks in which allanite has been reported.
