The partitioning of La, Sm, Dy, Ho and Yb between garnet, calcic clinopyroxene, calcic amphibole and andesitic and basaltic liquids has been studied experimentally. Glasses containing one or more REE in concentrations of 500-2000 ppm were crystallized at pressures of 10-35 kbar, and temperatures of 900-1520°C. Water was added to stabilize amphibole and to allow study of partition coefficients over wide temperature ranges. Major element and REE contents of crystal rims and adjacent glass were determined by EPMA, with limits of detection for individual REE of 100-180 ppm. Measured partition coefficients, D REE Cryst-liq , are independent of REE concentration over the concentration ranges used. D-values show an inverse dependence on temperature, best illustrated for garnet. At a given temperature, they are almost always higher for equilibria involving andesitic liquid. Garnet shows by far the greatest range of D-values, with e.g. D La < 0.05 and D Yb ~ 44 for andesitic liquid at 940°C. D Yb falls to ~ 12 at 1420°C. D Sm Ga-liq also correlates negatively with temperature and positively with the grossular content of garnet. Patterns of D ree Cryst-Liq for calcic clinopyroxenes and amphiboles are sub-parallel, with D-values for amphibole generally higher. Both individual D-values and patterns for the crystalline phases studied are comparable with those determined for phenocryst-matrix pairs in natural dacites, andesites and basalts. D-values and patterns are interpreted in terms of the entry of REE 3+ cations into mineral structures and liquids of contrasted major element compositions. The significance of the partition coefficients for models of the genesis of andesitic and Hy-normative basaltic magmas is assessed. Most magmas of these types in island arcs are unlikely to be produced by melting of garnet-bearing sources such as eclogite or garnet lherzolite.
