Whole-rock and zircon trace element plots highlighting the relationship between Rb/Sr and Eu/Eu*, plotted by sample and suite. Samples MY71, MY75 and MY76 have a high (>15 ppm) Sn content (white crosses). (a) Whole rock Rb/Sr plotted against whole rock Eu/Eu*, and a relationship between these is observed, indicating that Eu/Eu* is sensitive to the degree of magma fractionation. (b) Sn belt and Cu arc whole rock Rb/Sr plotted against median zircon Eu/Eu*, showing a relationship that reflects the degree of fractionation of the individual samples. Error bars are 1σ. The zircon Eu/Eu* values are less (i.e. the size of the Eu anomalies are greater) than those in the corresponding whole rock.
