The global systematics of primitive arc melts

MW Schmidt, O Jagoutz - Geochemistry, Geophysics …, 2017 - Wiley Online Library
We extracted all volcanic arc rock analyses calculated to be in equilibrium with mantle
olivine from the global georoc database. This results in 938 primitive melt compositions from …

On the chemical markers of pyroxenite contributions in continental basalts in Eastern China: Implications for source lithology and the origin of basalts

ZF Yang, J Li, WF Liang, ZH Luo - Earth-Science Reviews, 2016 - Elsevier

Aluminum-in-olivine thermometry of primitive basalts: Evidence of an anomalously hot mantle source for large igneous provinces

LA Coogan, AD Saunders, RN Wilson - Chemical Geology, 2014 - Elsevier
The maximum crystallization temperature of mantle-derived melts provides constraints on
the minimum temperature of their mantle source regions. This temperature can be estimated …

The origin of intra-plate ocean island basalts (OIB): the lid effect and its geodynamic implications

Y Niu, M Wilson, ER Humphreys… - Journal of Petrology, 2011 - academic.oup.com
Based on an evaluation of major and trace element data for ocean island basalts (OIB), we
demonstrate that oceanic lithosphere thickness variation, which we refer to as the lid effect …

The roles of pyroxenite and peridotite in the mantle sources of oceanic basalts

AK Matzen, BJ Wood, MB Baker, EM Stolper - Nature Geoscience, 2017 - nature.com
Subduction of oceanic crust generates chemical and lithological heterogeneities in the
mantle. An outstanding question is the extent to which these heterogeneities contribute to …

Discriminating between pyroxenite and peridotite sources for continental flood basalts (CFB) in southern Africa using olivine chemistry

GH Howarth, C Harris - Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 2017 - Elsevier
Abstract Continental Flood Basalts (CFB) result from voluminous outpourings of magma that
often precede continental break-up. Notwithstanding the petrogenetic importance of CFBs …
