Abstract The Deccan Volcanic Province (DVP), covering presently an area of 0.5 million km
2, and estimated to be 2–3 times larger during the Upper Cretaceous-Paleocene, is one of …

This article is an appeal for the adoption of a correct and appropriate terminology with
respect to the so-called Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs). The term LIP has been widely …

Abstract The late Permian Emeishan large igneous province (ELIP) covers∼ 0.3× 10 6 km 2
of the western margin of the Yangtze Block and Tibetan Plateau with displaced, correlative …

Picritic lava flows near Lijiang in the late Permian Emeishan flood basalt province are
associated with augite-phyric basalt, aphyric basalt, and basaltic pyroclastic units. The …

The usually low geological background concentrations of Hg makes this trace element
suitable for identifying accumulation pulses in sediments that can be tentatively related to …

Flood basalts, such as the Deccan Traps of India, represent huge, typically fissure-fed
volcanic provinces. We discuss the structural attributes and emplacement mechanics of a …

There has been little research on geochemistry and isotopic compositions in tholeiites of the
Northern region from the Paraná Continental Flood Basalts (PCFB), one of the largest …

The widely accepted mantle plume model postulates that (1) the currently volcanically active
Réunion Island in the Indian Ocean is fed by the narrow “tail” of a mantle plume that rises …

Structural studies of the Barmer Basin in Rajasthan, northwest India, demonstrate the
important effect that pre-existing faults can have on the geometries of evolving fault systems …

Two layers of basaltic flows intercalated with Late Neoproterozoic (Sinian) sandstones have
been identified in the Sugetbrak region in the northwest Tarim block, Northwest China. The …
