Layered intrusions are fossilized natural laboratories that historically have constrained many
fundamental principles of igneous petrology. Layered intrusions are typically stratiform …

Ophiolitic podiform chromitites from Phanerozoic orogens have been shown to preserve a
wealth of textures and inclusions that, in some way, trace earlier episodes of subduction and …

Several chromitite bodies of variable sizes are hosted in dunite-harzburgite of the small (<
3km) mining district of Sagua de Tánamo, in the Mayarí-Cristal ophiolitic massif, eastern of …

This article reports a precise 3506.8±2.3-Ma U-Pb SHRIMP zircon age for dacitic lava in a
well-preserved low-grade metamorphic and low-strained greenstone belt succession of the …

Abstract The Singhbhum Craton of East India has a remarkably well-preserved Archaean
geological record that rivals those of the Kaapvaal and Pilbara cratons. Based on a critical …

Abstract The Singhbhum Craton is built up by successive pulses of discrete granitic
magmatism at~ 3.52 Ga,~ 3.47-3.43 Ga, and~ 3.40-3.35 Ga that produced …

The chromite deposits in the Archean Nuggihalli schist belt are part of a layered ultramafic–
mafic sequence within the Western Dharwar Craton of the Indian shield. The 3.1-Ga …

Abstract The Precambrian Singhbhum Craton (SC) of the Eastern India holds a prolonged
record of sporadic crust generation and evolution starting from as ancient as the Hadean till …

Layered intrusions crystallize mainly from basaltic magma to form large bodies of igneous
rocks that exhibit prominent layering and they preserve stunning rock records of the …

Here, we critically examine models for the development of layering in the ultramafic rocks of
the Stillwater Complex of Montana, USA. A fine-grained, high-magnesium (high-Mg) dike in …
