Sr, REE and halogens in apatite can track magmas compositions and crystallization history.
The positive correlation of Ga contents with Eu negative anomalies in apatite can indicate oxidation states of magmas.
The combination of Sr/Y ratios and δEu in apatite can identify adakite-like plutons.
Apatite compositions can reveal different magmatic conditions associated with porphyry-type Cu and Mo mineralization, vein-type Mo mineralization and barren mineralization.
