The geotectonic setting, age and mineral deposit inventory of global layered intrusions
WD Smith, WD Maier - Earth-Science Reviews, 2021 - Elsevier
In the present paper, we have compiled data on 565 layered and differentiated igneous
intrusions globally, documenting their (i) location,(ii) age,(iii) size,(iv) geotectonic setting,(v) …

Geochemistry of low-temperature (< 350° C) metamorphic and hydrothermal monazite
Monazite is a light rare earth element (LREE)-rich phosphate mineral that occurs as a trace
phase in a wide variety of rock types, where it forms in response to different geological …

Massive chromitites of the Bushveld Complex, South Africa: A critical review of existing hypotheses
RM Latypov, SY Chistyakova, C Letsoele - Earth-Science Reviews, 2024 - Elsevier
The controversy over the origin of massive chromitites in layered intrusions has recently
become more contentious than ever before. At issue is whether they are produced via …

Catastrophic growth of totally molten magma chambers in months to years
The vertical growth rate of basaltic magma chambers remains largely unknown with
available estimates being highly uncertain. Here, we propose a novel approach to address …

Origin of the JM reef and lower banded series, Stillwater complex, Montana, USA
The origin and parental magma for layered cumulates in the Lower Banded series (LBS)
and the JM Reef Pd-Pt deposit of the Stillwater Complex remains poorly constrained. We …

Chromitite layers indicate the existence of large, long-lived, and entirely molten magma chambers
The classical paradigm of the 'big magma tank'chambers in which the melt differentiates, is
replenished, and occasionally feeds the overlying volcanos has recently been challenged …

The magmatic architecture of continental flood basalts I: Observations from the Deccan Traps
Flood basalts are some of the largest magmatic events in Earth history, with intrusion and
eruption of millions of km3 of basaltic magma over a short time period (∼ 1–5 Ma). A typical …

In situ Pb–Pb garnet geochronology as a tool for investigating polymetamorphism: a case for Paleoarchean lateral tectonic thickening
Abstract The Barberton Granite–Greenstone Belt remains a key location in the debate
concerning the nature of Archean tectonic processes. Much work has focused on …

Re-healing cratonic mantle lithosphere after the world's largest igneous intrusion: Constraints from peridotites erupted by the Premier kimberlite, South Africa
Constraining the processes that drive the disruption and re-healing of cratonic mantle roots
is essential in understanding how cratons evolve. A striking example of this “cycle” of …
