Brown hornblende occurs in minor amounts in the Artfjället gabbro and dolerites, except in
quartz-dolerites where a pale green hornblende occurs. In the gabbro, brown hornblende is …

Mantle-derived basaltic sills emplaced in the lower crust provide a mechanism for the
generation of evolved magmas in deep crustal hot zones (DCHZ). This study uses numerical …

Layering is a common feature in mafic and ultramafic layered intrusions and generally
consists of a succession of layers characterized by contrasted mineral modes and/or mineral …

Major anorthositic massifs intruded stable cratonic crust in the North Atlantic region about
1.4 to 1.7 Ga ago. Similar (meta-) anorthosite massifs (0.9-1.6 Ga) in Grenville and …

Pristine granite clasts in Apollo-14 breccias 14321 and 14303 have estimated masses of 1.8
and 0.17 g, respectively. The 14321 clast is∼ 60% K-feldspar and 40% quartz, with traces of …

We present the first quantitative model of heat, mass and both major and trace element
transport in a mush undergoing compaction that accounts for component transport and …

Coronas of symplectic pargasite [XMg= 68, XCa= 69, XSi= 68]+ spinel [SP45] and
orthopyroxene [EN70] separate cumulus plagioclase [AN64] and olivine [FO64] in troctolitic …

Growing crystals can provide a local source of buoyancy by depleting melt of certain
chemical components, and vigorous convective motions in the fluid can result. We report a …

The large Canindé de São Francisco gabbroic complex, with its associated volcanic units,
has been widely interpreted as a Late Proterozoic island-arc sequence emplaced onto the …

Dating of crystalline rocks occurring in the Upper Harz Mountains was carried out by means
of U-Pb isotope investigations on zircons and sphene as well as by Rb-Sr isotope …
