Abstract
LANTHANIDE geochemistry has been attracting increasing attention1,2 because the lanthanide elements are expected to provide earth science with a powerful tool. This is based partly on the fact that the effect of ionic size can be seen in lanthanide abundance patterns, and ionic size is one of the critical parameters in physical chemistry, especially crystal chemistry. Basic research into lanthanide geochemistry, however, has just started, and there are many important problems to be solved or explained.
