Dear Yuri and Jim,
Parameters estimates by Jenkin (1997) in Geology 25:907-910 for Sr
diffusion in muscovite significantly deviate from the common
compensation line. A better estimate for Sr diffusivity in muscovite is
E = 150 KJ/mol and Do = 3*10E-8(cm2/s). In this context, the muscovite
diffusion parameters could have different E and Do values from biotite.
