Mantle-derived magmas are traditionally assumed to originate by melting of an upper mantle
consisting of uniform spinel-or garnet peridotite dominated by olivine. However, extensive …

Abstract The Jurassic–Cretaceous East Vardar Zone (EVZ) is a NNW–SSE-directed
NeoTethyan back-arc crustal amalgamation that passes through Romania, Serbia, Bulgaria …

The high flux of subaerial volcanic CO2 emissions around the circum‐Mediterranean region
requires the involvement of an unusually carbon‐rich reservoir, but the origin of which is still …

The propagation of slab break-off (slab tearing) is usually attributed to laterally variable plate
convergence systems with a spatial transition between simultaneous oceanic subduction …

The post-Neotethyan, oblique subduction-driven narrowing between the tapering
northeastern Adria margin and the European promontory (Tisza-, Serbo-Macedonian Unit) …

The origin of Italian kamafugites and lamproites is a matter of debate, not least due to their
“crustal signature” displayed by trace element compositions and isotopic ratios, but also due …

Calc-alkaline lamprophyres are widely regarded as important probes for unravelling
continental-scale geodynamic processes. We present petrographic, mineral chemical, bulk …

The generation of strongly potassic melts in the mantle requires the presence of phlogopite
in the melting assemblage, while isotopic and trace element analyses of ultrapotassic rocks …

Understanding the Mesozoic lithospheric mantle beneath South China is challenging,
primarily because mantle-derived magmatic rocks are rare, whereas granitic magmatism is …

ABSTRACT Late Eocene–Oligocene volcanic rocks in the eastern Saveh region of the
Urumieh-Dokhtar magmatic arc (UDMA) are representative of Paleogene magmatic activity …
