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

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) …

Chromium (Cr) is a redox-sensitive element in contaminated coastal urban soils. Sea level
rise (SLR) with subsequent soil inundation may facilitate Cr transformation and mobilization …

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 …

Chemical differentiation of magma on Earth occurs through physical separation of liquids
and crystals. The mechanisms of this separation still remain elusive due to the lack of …

Layered mafic intrusions commonly contain non-cotectic, foliated igneous rocks that are
traditionally attributed to processes involving settling, transport, and redeposition of crystals …

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 formation of some Earth's monomineralic igneous rocks appears to be prohibited by
constraints imposed by liquidus phase-equilibria on evolution of mantle-derived magmas …

Mafic–ultramafic layered rocks of the Lower and Critical Zones of the Bushveld Complex are
believed to have formed from a parental magma usually labelled B1 with SiO 2 content at 55 …

Abstract The Platreef of the Bushveld Complex is currently the largest PGE open pit deposit.
In order to investigate the behavior of PGE during weathering, three boreholes covering a …
