Details

Ru-Pd and Os-Pt: in chemistry, this group is referred to as the platinum metals. Since the 1960 geologists are using the term "platinum-group elements" (PGE) \insertCiteMarshall1999,Connelly2005georefdatar. In geochemistry, this group is further divided into two subgroups: Ir-PGE and Pd-PGE \insertCiteMarshall1999georefdatar with Au often added to the latter \insertCiteRollinson1993georefdatar.

  • PGE Platinum-group elements – e.g. \insertCiteMarshall1999georefdatar.
