This article reviews the geology of the Sveconorwegian orogen in south Scandinavia and
existing tectonic models for the Mesoproterozoic to Neoproterozoic Sveconorwegian …

Abstract Types of rock, such as komatiite, which formed entirely or dominantly during
restricted time periods in solar system history, are important indicators of how planetary …

Although A-type granites have long been recognized as a distinct group of granites, the term
A-type was coined first less than thirty years ago. A-type suites occur in geodynamic contexts …

IGNEOUS ROCKS AND PROCESSES A practical introduction to igneous petrology for
students and practitioners The newly revised Second Edition of Igneous Rocks and …

Mantle temperatures provide a key test of the mantle plume hypothesis, and olivine-liquid
equilibria provide perhaps the most certain means of estimating mantle temperatures. Here …

Although many formulations of plagioclase+ liquid equilibria have been calibrated in the last
decade, few models specifically address the issue of temperature (T) prediction. Moreover …

Temperature differences between lavas erupted at ocean islands and mid‐ocean ridges are
crucial to documenting the existence of mantle plumes. Olivines are useful for T estimation …

Compilation and interpretation of experimental and natural Nernst partition coefficient
(plagioclase/meltD) data show that, with a few exceptions, increases in plagioclase/meltD …

The AMGRS is a suite of anorthosite-mangerite-alkali granitoid-rapakivi granite in the
northern North China Craton (NCC). New zircon SHRIMP and laser ablation-inductively …

High-resolution genetic markers have revolutionized our understanding of vertebrate mating
systems, but have so far yielded few comparable surprises about kinship in social insects …
